Last Mohop Shoe in Portland at Pie Footwear



What's a Mohop? Well Mohop's are the most fabulously sustainable vegan shoes around. Hand-made by a Anne Mohaupt in Chicago, each shoe has an FSC certified wood base with ribbon laces (see picture). Anne recently stopped wholesaling her shoes in order to work on reducing her price point and expanding on styles and sizes. We are bummed that we will not be able to carry Mohop's anymore, but we are happy for Anne and the success she's has since taking her sales in house.  

We do have one Mohop left and really want to get this fabulous shoe on one lucky lady's foot. It is just too awesome of a shoe to be footless...  

Cherry High Wedge Size: 8 
$136 (original price: $272) 
** Comes with 5 sets of ribbons & booklet of lace up ideas.  

If you're not a size 8, you can order Mohop's directly from Anne @ www.mohop.com. She has a 6-8 week lead-time as every shoe is hand made to order

Just In: TOMS Shoes




We are really excited about the arrival of TOMS to our store. You may have seen the recent AT&T + TOMS shoe commercials, which have created quite a buzz around the 3 year old shoe company.  If you haven't seen the commercial, for every pair of TOMS you purchase, TOMS will give a pair of shoes to a child in need. One for One. Since their beginning in May 2006, TOMS has given over 70,000 pairs of shoes to children in need.  We are also happy that TOMS has started a vegan/sustainable line of shoes. We have TOMS for both women & men in vegan and non-vegan styles.  Help TOMS' reach their goal to give over 300,000 pairs of shoes to children in need around the world in the next 12 months, by picking a pair up at Pie. 

Indulge responsibly, One for One.

City Repair's Earth Day Celebration 4/25/09

Even though it wasn't the sunniest or warmest of days, City Repair's Earth Day Celebration last Saturday was a blast.  It was great to see familiar faces and shoes... (thanks to everyone who came to our booth to show us the shoes they got from our store, it really made our day!) It was also great to talk to people who are new to our store and concept, but mostly it was fun just enjoying the festivities of the day. The talking Robot with gardening advise was very cool and very funny at the same time.  We also want to thank Try Vegan PDX an outreach group that helps people transitioning into a vegan lifestyle, who joined us in our booth on Saturday. They brought some tasty treats from Sweet Pea Bakery.  It is always fun when we can do event that gets us out of the store, it is just an added bonus when the event has great music and really awesome veggie hotdogs. (mmmm, what a treat!)
