Are you going to make more men's with the green fabric uppers like you had when you started years ago? Mine broke and I'd like to replace them

@TrentonHeath Жыл бұрын

No, not at the moment. We’ve changed them up quite a bit since then. Wow…those were definitely our old school ones!

@Mrjdholbrook87 Жыл бұрын

Some critical feedback to consider: For a $100, make sure they're "bulletproof." Have been following you guys for a while (I think since around 30k subscribers) and really like the work you do. The quality of materials is great and being American made is a big selling point, but the number one reason I've changed a pair of flip flops is because at some point they've broken and that would be my main concern before buying these. If your design is focused around making them last for the long-term, would be more interested. Maybe even consider some type of lifetime warranty or 10 year replacement warranty with the sandals. I don't just want a sandal with quality materials; I want one that actually lasts. The sandals look great. Good luck with this!

@TrentonHeath Жыл бұрын

I appreciate the feedback. As a few guys who have invested a lot of sweat, tears and money into this venture, that’s exactly what we’ve already done. We’ve torn apart other brands and compared. We went to the manufacturer of our materials and said we need them to last. We also compared our prices to other popular brands out there that are on par (Hari Mari, OluKai, etc), and we’re all comparable in price. Again, I really appreciate the feedback. We just want folks to know we’re definitely not one of those “KZfaqrs” dropping some product on the market looking for a fast buck. As someone who’s watched our channel since the beginning, you know that we preach quality and what to look for in good footwear. We definitely don’t want to tarnish our brand by putting out something that doesn’t hold up and last.

@CulinaryGod Жыл бұрын

I've got an older pair of their sandals when I believe they were made in Mexico and I wear them quite a lot. They've held up very well and I just finished ordering a pair of these USA made sandals as well. No, they're probably not going to last 10 years but the quality of my first pair was quite high and inline with others at/around this price. I'd rather support these guys than most others which is why I've ordered my second pair from them. Can't wait to receive them.

So happy to have come across your channel and brand! Just ordered a pair of your sandals and cannot wait to get them under feet! I am out in San Diego and have religiously worn Rainbows. I work in Pacific Northwest Boots (Nick’s, Whites, etc.); ecstatic to see that caliber of craftsmanship in a sandal! Very much looking forward to seeing how they compare to the Rainbows! Always looking to support veteran owned brands, thank you so much for your craft and content!

@ttop64 Жыл бұрын

Been waiting for this video. Thanks guys. BTW The subject of flip flops got brought up yesterday when I was talking to my massage therapist . He said he was looking for some new ones so naturally I told him where to look so you might be getting a new customer. Also it looks like by no longer stitching around the top sole and having a leather toe thong shortens production time considerably compared to when you made the previous flip flops for the Karl Freidrick giveaway a couple years back.

@TrentonHeath Жыл бұрын

Thanks for the referral! Yes, due to production costs, we had to change up some things, while still making them very high quality.

I bought a 1st Run pair. I expected them to be built better. I did not know how much more effort was put in to making a stronger flip flop & USA sourced. Well Done... After a few tweaks to lock in my foot better - I am happy with the FF. The soul could have been less thick & less spongy IMO. (FYI - I have wore Barefoot sandals going on 10 years now)

Hi! Just wanna start by saying that I love your videos, so professional and compelling. Please keep going… I have a question for you: I bought a pair of suede Loro Piana Summer Walk and the right shoe feels slightly large especially when I wear ghost socks. The left one is tight and feels perfect. What would be your suggestions to tighten the fit of the right one? The shoes are super brand new and I use show trees regularly. Thanks

I have a pair that I just bought. So nice! Broke in immediately! Can you please start making a box toe option as well?. I tend to end up hiking in my flops, and or walking extended distances as well. I always catch the extra little point in the middle toe. Or can you take custom orders to blunt the front toebox? I’d buy another 5 pairs. Great work, love the channel!
