MOZO Testimonial: A. Kostreba | PBS at Whole Foods Bakehouse, Colorado

To whom it may concern,

This email is a testimony to how the MOZO self cleaning shoes do work in a Bakery environment. I am the Human Resources for Whole Foods Market Rocky Mountain Bakehouse. I am also the point person for safety, and in turn am in charge of our slip resistant shoe program. We fall under the same umbrella as the Whole Foods stores as to which slip resistant shoes we are allowed to offer our employees for purchase. The company we had been using, Shoes For Crews, really did not do much good for us because the dough constantly gunked up the soles and they would end up being more hazardous than safe. Last January we tested the self cleaning MOZO shoes in our facility and now they are the #1 purchased shoe we offer. Once word got around that dough does not gunk up, and if there is some dough caught in them you can just stomp on the floor and it falls right out, TM’s were ordering them like crazy. These are by far the best shoes we offer (out of about 150 styles) in terms of safety and comfort, I highly recommend them. Thanks for your time.

Sincerely,

A. Kostreba

MOZO® and Boulder Running Company

by Molly King

Word is starting to spread, and people want to know, “Where can I try on MOZO shoes?” Well, for those of you lucky enough to be in the Denver/Boulder area, you can find MOZO® shoes at the Boulder Running Company. However, they are only currently offered at two of their locations: in Boulder, on Pearl Street [Google map link]; and at the Greenwood Village location on Arapahoe Road [Google map link].

For a while now, Boulder Running Company is known as an authority on running and walking shoe comfort. MOZO® offers real running shoe technology in a work shoe (i.e. full-length midsoles & gel insoles)—and both Boulder Running Company and MOZO® shoes are committed to bringing quality products to their customers—together they form quite the dynamic duo.

Boulder Running Company is widely known as a Mecca for running and walking enthusiasts alike. And if anyone has been video taped running in a shoe store, you can thank Boulder Running Company, since they were the first running store to pioneer the use of “video gait analysis” to customize the fit of their running shoes to the individual customer. They’ve earned their reputation for “raising the bar and expectations of specialty running stores throughout the country.”

If you’re in the Denver/Boulder area, come visit one of their locations to find the right pair of MOZO® shoes for your work.

At MOZO®, we don’t just make slip-resistant work shoes; we engineer Shoes that serve®.

The New Look of MOZO Shoes

We’d like to take a moment to announce the launch of our new site. It’s redesigned to give MOZO a fresh and updated “look,” and we built it with the end in mind: our new interface is scalable to fit the needs of our growing customer base.

We’ve partnered with an amazing team of web developers and specialists from Hubsoft, who have stopped at nothing to accommodate our needs (many times even before we needed something, they had already implemented it!). We are very fortunate to have them on our team.

The last year has seen major strides in product development, and now we have a website to back it up. We’ve taken the time to list just a few of the new upgrades—some of which you will see and others that you won’t see, but are still worth mentioning. Whilst perusing our new site, do take some time to read about our three Spider Traction outsole options, watch a couple videos, read some testimonials, or learn about our many wellness features.


Below is a look at some of the newly integrated features that will make life a little easier for both our customers and us:

• Rebranded look
• Links to all other Deckers brands
• Links to our social media outlets
• Area specifically for the general MOZO testimonials (including video testimonials) from satisfied customers
• New filter criteria for products so customers can narrow down their search and find the right shoe for them
• Added information on our Spider Traction outsole technology
• Power reviews fully integrated for all products

Back end:

• Designed to pull from our products dynamically so changes and additions are easy and can be made internally.
• The ability to create customized micro-sites for partner accounts

We appreciate any feedback you may have after visiting the site. And a big thank you to our team at Hubsoft for bringing our vision a reality (and making it look good, too)!

#1 in Slip-resistance and Comfort.

'Tis the season to be comfortable! Now with MOZO shoes.

Shoes that serve.®

Here's a letter sent to our Brand President, Stuart Jenkins, about his new MOZO shoes:

December 8, 2009


Hi Stuart,

I just wanted to let you know that I wear my shoes every day and they are some of the most comfortable shoes I have worn. I have 3 drivers that are wearing the new boots and they love them. I think one of the key factors is the gel insoles as well as the gel in the actual sole of the shoe. One of the guys stated that he feels like he is wearing his slippers to work. I have told other drivers and warehousemen about the boots and they are anxious to see what you have at the boot day. I have also talked with our maintenance guys and they would be interested, if you came up with a durable double layer toe or something that would last with the abuse that the maintenance guys give a boot.

Talk to you soon!
