MOZO Shoes on eBay

We have been getting some customer inquiries about the MOZO shoes on eBay that cost under $20. How is that possible when the shoes on our website retail for $99 and $149.99? Well, as you know we re-launched our company in the fall of 2008. During this process we upgraded the slip-resistance and cushioning technologies in our shoes. We also changed the branding, logo, and website for our company. The products that you find on eBay are not slip-resistant and they were our older models/products. We sold these shoes to the Deckers Factory Outlet Store in Ventura, CA. These products were sold at a discounted price because we were unloading our old inventory to make room for the new products.

The shoes on eBay are not the same shoes that we sell on our website. Many of the sellers on eBay have also falsified information about the product that they are selling by copying/pasting information directly from our website. The shoes on eBay are not covered by our Unconditional Guarantee and they cannot be returned/exchanged for our newer products because they were purchased at a closeout price.

Some examples of these MOZO products on eBay that “retail for $149″:

- Women’s Four Gore size 7.5

- Women’s Four Gore size 9

- Men’s Brown Guru size 13

- Women’s brown Nib size 6.5

*Please note that we discontinued brown, and the branding on many of the products you find on eBay is that of MOZO before it was re-launched in October, 2008. Also, none of the products on eBay retail for $149, even though many of them state that they are.

Feel free to send us any comments or questions about this issue, and we would be happy to assist you.

Blizzard in Denver!

This winter has been pretty mild when it comes to snowfall here in Denver. However, that all changed as we started receiving blizzard warnings last night. Today, the weather reports have been quite accurate! We’re grateful to be getting this much moisture as it has been very dry recently. It’s also great to be wearing a pair of Executive Line Four Gore shoes because the self-cleaning tread and slip-resistance has prevented any slip & fall accidents today.

It has been snowing all day and it is certainly getting more intense out there. We’re packing it in early to ensure that we make it home safely and before it gets even worse (if only car tires had our MOZO tread!) If you need anything, please fill out the contact form on our website.

Food Shows

Yesterday was a busy day for us at MOZO. We were spread around the country attending three different food shows in Grand Rapids, Detroit, and Seattle.

These shows were a great opportunity to inform new customers about our shoes that provide safety and comfort. It is amazing to see how puzzled some people were when we told them that our slip-resistant shoes are comfortable. We realize that is comfortable work shoes are not the norm in this industry, but we want you to be able to perform in your work environment without worrying about your knees, back, and feet hurting.

Where Have Your MOZO Shoes been?

Happy St. Patrick’s day!

Brett just got back from a trip around Northern Michigan. He visited some key accounts that are providing its employees with the MOZO comfort. Needless to say, it was certainly a winter wonderland! While he was battling the snow and sleet in Michigan, we have been enjoying sunny weather in the 60s - 70s here in Denver!

Central PA Tourism Show

We love daylight savings!


Brett recently attended the Central PA Tourism show and I finally got my hands on the pictures. Brett was there informing many of the Chefs, restaurant owners, and other members of the culinary community about our products. You can see from the picture that he had a booth showing our YouTube video and our shoes. Although he did not find any feet to fill a size 16 this time, he did get to witness the Iron Chef Challenge that they held.

Focused during the Iron Chef Competition

MOZO donated a free pairs of shoes to the each member of the winning team in the Iron Chef competition, and although we are fans of upsets in sports, we were proud to present our shoes to Team #1 - champions for the 3rd consecutive year!

Mark Pawlowski, Executive Chef/Director of Food & Beverage at the Yorktowne Hotel said this after he received his MOZO shoes: “These shoes are great! The moment I slipped them on and felt the way they gripped the floor, I knew I would be a happy camper… I really appreciate your generous donation of these high quality clogs! Thanks again!”

Well, Mark, we’re glad that you like our shoes so much! We engineered our products especially for Executive Chefs like you!

Again, congrats to the winning team!

Size 16!

Happy March!

The weather out here in Denver has been in the 70’s and sunny so we can’t really complain about that.

Brett Ankrom, one of our sales guys, recently attended the Taste of Elegance show at Heinz Field in Pittsburgh, PA. At this show, Brett made it his mission to find a person who could wear our biggest shoe - a size 16. Several tried, but only one was a perfect fit.

Ron White played Offensive Tackle for the University of Maryland from 1993 - 1998. He is currently the Owner of Hugo’s Restaurant in Brownsville, PA, and he was the official winner of Brett’s little contest.

Wearing his MOZO shoes, Ron is 6′8” and as you can see from the pictures below, he dwarfs Brett who stands at 6′0”.
