Soft Star Shoes launches RunAmoc

Last fall Soft Star Shoes noticed a sharp increase in calls from customers requesting modifications to their existing line of glove-like moccasins. They were surprised to learn that people weren`t only wearing them around the house, but to run trails, marathons and even ultra marathons. With interest increasing in barefoot running due, in part, to the popularity of Christopher McDougall`s book "Born to Run," Soft Star developed a minimal running "moccasin." Soft Star worked with the online community to solicit input on features, prototypes, and names for the new shoe. The result was a lighter, ventilated shoe with a super-thin, flexible running sole. The RunAmoc weighs less than 6 oz. and is available with both 2mm "street" and 5mm "trail" soles. Soft Star Shoes is a 25-year-old family-run manufacturing company located in Corvallis, Oregon. The company specializes in barefoot-like designs for children and adults. All Soft Star Shoes are 100% handcrafted in the U.S.A in their solar-powered workshop.
