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 😉

Morgens ist es noch frisch, 13°C, aber bei Sonne und ohne Wind braucht man da keine Jacke oder Strümpfe, finde ich. In letzter Zeit gefallen mir lange weite Röcke total gut, ich mag das fließende, schwingende Tragegefühl.

Recently bought two pairs of #SoftStarShoes and am impressed with how light they are, and how well they allow natural foot movement.

Specifically, Rogue (pictured) and Chukka Hawthorne, which both come in quasi-“primal” widths — “primal” being their label for a nice wide toe shape.

Very glad to see smarter #barefoot styles hitting the market: it’s a lot easier to buy than to make them oneself! Also great that the Hawthorne Chukka can be re-soled easily (I can also re-sole the Rogue myself).
