One of my favorite shoe companies — that makes a range of shoes, boots and sandals with wide toes, no heel-lift, and flexible soles 🦶 — is now 100% employee-owned. From their website: “all profits will be invested in coworker compensation and in the company’s future”

Congratulations to the employees of SoftStar Shoes in Philomath, Oregon!

Now we have to get them to make and use an account on the Fediverse 😉

Who among you runs long distance in Vibram FiveFingers? I'm looking for model recommendations. I absolutely love my KSO Evo, and it's the best shoe I've ever run in, but I've found that I can put barely 300 kilometres' worth of training on them before the sole wears through.

(Boosts ok.)
