Introducing our improved Thin Series Footbeds
Along with changing the name of our Slim Series to the Thin Series, we have made some improvements as well. They are now thinner (at least 10% thinner for the Sport and 30% thinner for the Casual). This makes them even better for low volume footwear like dress shoes, cycling shoes, hockey skates, etc. They are also more moldable in the heel for very narrow footwear. Both have 20% recycled EVA and the Thin Sport has 35% recycled content in the top sheet.

There's no good reason to be optimistic, but there's plenty of cause for hope
We at SOLE spend a lot of time concerning ourselves with sustainability. Our new packaging is 100% recycled, we have recycled content in our products and we have just initiated a program called ReCORK that collects and recycles cork in an effort to reduce waste, and increase education about deforestation and the value of forest ecosystems.

Where are the socks?
People have been asking about our SOLE Socks, which have been out-of-stock for awhile. We are switching manufacturers and updating the line, and unfortunately this has taken way longer than we had expected. We are now hoping to have the new socks available by February, bar any more complications with manufacturers. Finding one that could even make our socks was difficult!
