July/August Newsletter

Our mascot, Jack, iscelebrating the 4^th of July! And Beech Sandal Co. is also celebrating by donating 15% of all productpurchases to the National Coalition for Homeless Veterans.  We are directing our donation to the outreachprogram for homeless women veterans and their children.  Check out what this wonderful organizationdoes at http://www.nchv.org/.

Auburn University in Alabamahas been studying flip-flops and their effect on a person’s body.  No surprise that use of an unsupportiveflip-flop creates foot, ankle, knee and hip pain!  Read the News Release from Auburn at http://wireeagle.auburn.edu/news/359.   We believe Yoga Sandals® support thestability of the foot through the toe separators, keep joints flexible, andprovide arch support through supporting the heel bone, allowing all the musclesof the feet to exercise naturally.   So, whatever you choose, please leave thosefloppy flip-flops behind this summer and protect your feet and body.

Beech Sandal Co. is going to Japan!  This is a country that has many styles ofwhat they call “4 Finger” sandals and shoes, and we have been contacted byseveral distributors that want Yoga Sandals® there as well.  They tell us our Californiadesigned sandals provide better support, and better toe separation than whatthey have on the market. 

It seems that the interest inour sandals is growing, both in articles and blogs, and interest from aroundthe world.  We believe in our motto“Sandal Evolution®” and know that single thong sandals must be replaced bymulti-thong sandals for the health of the foot.
