“Being outdoors means more than just being out and about wearing shoes. It is the state of mind of freedom, inspiration and mindfulness. Exploring unknown terrain or new routes together with others is an adventure. Whether we are roaming the streets of a big city or climbing up the steep walls of a north face, it's the memories, the experience that matters. Actually, we don't want you to think about our shoes, apart from how nice they look. If you're totally immersed in the outdoor experience, then we've done our job.”
