22-Year-Old Leather Moccasins Still Looking Good!

Susan with her beloved Roo moccasins

We received a pleasant surprise from a local customer this week.

A woman walked into our workshop looking for a new pair of moccasins because the stitching on her previous pair finally gave out and left a hole by the big toe. When Soft Star co-owner Larkin greeted her in our showroom and offered to help her find a new pair, the woman replied, "It will be 22 years before I come back here again, because that's how long I've had the last pair."

Susan spoke with Tim, Soft Star's founder, while she was waiting for her repair and they reminisced about the old Soft Star workshop where she originally bought the moccasins (located a few blocks away from our current location). She remembered quite a bit about that old workshop and what Soft Star looked like back in the day. We had a lot less elves back then!

Here's a close-up of Susan's well-loved moccasins. We hope they last her another 22 years!
