Larry

Larry is a comfort footwear brand created by a young female shoemaker (Jessi Katz) with experience in Pedorthics. The new ready-to-wear line of sandals is sustainably made in NY and NJ using deadstock, USA sourced upper leather by an all-female team. Larry's mission is to make comfort shoes cool, and cool shoes comfortable. We can vouch for her success, not only are the shoes beautiful but they don’t even require breaking in. The soles make you feel like you are walking on clouds.

Oha

Oha leather sandals are hand stitched, finished with homemade coconut wax and fully repairable. The sandals are designed to last a lifetime with simple maintenance. They are made free of glue, sewn together instead with a hearty thread, this means they can be restitched and resoled. Oha offers a repair kit so that you can do this at home or you can send them back to the company to repair. All sandals are shipped in a cork carrying bag.

One of our personal favorites for locally made shoes. Created by two sisters and their mother 10 years ago, the line makes both kids and women’s footwear, plus some newly added accessories (handbags and wallets). Items are made to order, which cuts down on potential waste by avoiding over production. manufacturing takes place in their very own footwear factory, powered using solar energy. Their leather is vegetable tanned without the use of toxic chemicals. Zuzii’s styles include sandals, oxfords, sneakers, clogs and more.
