  1. Knee Arthritis Relief | Prevent and Treat with Minimal Shoes

    Knee Arthritis Relief | Prevent and Treat with Minimal Shoes

    Let’s face it, arthritis is no fun for anyone. The chronic feeling of pain and stiffness in joints can be both inhibiting and frustrating in daily life. Osteoarthritis (OA) in knees can be especially distressing because it can be felt with every single step and often limit mobility. Unfortunately, the latest statistics from the Center […]

  2. Fall Special: Don't Miss Our Corduroy Leather Merry Janes!

    Fall Special: Don't Miss Our Corduroy Leather Merry Janes!

    We have a special treat for you this fall. Tim has managed to add a unique material to our shoemaking supplies: chocolate corduroy leather! This soft, cozy material is not made of cotton like most corduroy, but actual suede leather pressed into a ribbed corduroy pattern. It still has the soft feel of suede with […]

  3. Introducing Soft Star Resale - Buy and Sell Loved Shoes!

    Introducing Soft Star Resale - Buy and Sell Loved Shoes!

    What do you do with your old shoes? It isn’t uncommon for a child to outgrow a pair of moccasins, or for an adult to retire a comfortable pair of RunAmocs in favor of a new color combination. But what if those old shoes still have a lot of life left in them? And what […]

    Kids Learning to Tie Laces with Moccasins? No Problem!

    Back-to-school season is a busy time at the Soft Star workshop.

We’re proud that so many schools encourage children to wear our moccasins, and kids love them! Unfortunately, […]

  5. Cork is Here to Stay!

    Cork is Here to Stay!

    A few months ago, we introduced a special cork fabric for certain design-your-own shoes. The stylish material, lined with gold-speckled cork, worked well for the side panels of our Dash RunAmocs and for flower appliques on our youth and adult Merry Janes. We originally offered the cork option as a limited edition, available only until […]

  6. RECORD BROKEN! We Just Made our Biggest Shoe!

    RECORD BROKEN! We Just Made our Biggest Shoe!

    Last year, we were excited to tell you about a size 15.5 Adult Rambler that came through our production line. That shoe challenged the record for our biggest shoe, which was a size 16 moccasin many years ago. Today, both of those shoes were knocked off the chart. We just put the finishing touches on […]

  7. Changes are Afoot! New Sizes and a New Rogue

    Changes are Afoot! New Sizes and a New Rogue

    Sizing Update It’s a busy day at the Soft Star workshop! The elves are working hard this morning to roll out some long-awaited changes. For several months now, we’ve researched our sizing scale to see how it compares to standard shoe sizes. The result: we found some opportunities for improvement in our larger adult shoes. […]
