As quickly as I fell in love with brand it's time has passed. The good folks up at Timberland have decided to give the ax to the Mion brand. Even the brilliant breath of Martin Keen wasn't enough to save these great sandals. The sad thing for me is that I really invested myself in this brand. They are not the easiest shoes to love or sell for that matter, and we just received a rather sizable preseason order not but a few days after the announcement. Look at that great sandal though, great colors, supportive, unique, good "green" story, what more could you want in a summer sandal? I still think this is a viable brand though they have been compared to Crocs and other "foamy" sandals and clog they just have so much more to offer.
Timberland does have a sense of humor, well maybe irony. Just to rib us a bit about the loss, they put a pair of really crappy new Timberland womens hiking boots in with our order just to let us know in a way that Mion was just too good for them.
Oh, and by the way, I guess If you'd like a pair before they're gone, drop us a line: josh@shoebum.com
I love the style, looks very comfortable to wear..
