New equipment could equal BIG change for SOM!
One of our most frequently asked questions is "do you make any sizes larger than a 12 or smaller than a 5?". Up until now, the answer has been unfortunately, no we cannot. Our equipment only allows us to make sizes 5-12, but if we can get new equipment, we will be able to make nearly any size, including children's sizes. We would also be able to offer more footwear options.
SOM founder and head shoe maker Olie is heading to Los Angeles next month to meet with equipment specialists to see what it would take to make this a reality.
If we are able to move forward in purchasing the new equipment, we will need your help! New equipment comes with a big price tag and we will need to use crowd funding to help finance this project.
Stay tuned for details!
After selling out of our SP-L3 Red we asked our Facebook fans to vote on the next SP-L3 color. The results are in and we are excited to introduce our latest SP-L3 color- Pinyon Green.

We recently added a "write a review" option to our product pages. If you absolutely love your SOMs (or even if you don't) other customers would love to hear your feedback.

Factory Outlet
Beginning in October, the SOM Factory Outlet Store will be open EVERY Thursday!
Colorado's Western Slope has been showing us so much love that we've decided to open the factory up to the public weekly rather than monthly. The Outlet is located at 1006 N. Cascade Ave in Montrose, Colorado and will be open from noon-6pm.
