The Weight Of Mountains

We run for many reasons. We champion the runner's high, the inclusive community, the purpose we find when we are deep in the flow. But what about the pressures? What about the aspects of life and running that seep into our sport and create problems? The Weight of Mountains can be difficult to carry alone, but we are not alone. We are never alone. Join Elite Athletes Amanda Basham, Meredith Edwards, and Kaci Lickteig in raising awareness for better Mental Health and challenging the stigma.

Our founders, —elite athletes and running store managers, —wanted a shoe that let you run the way you were born to. They noticed that the design of most running shoes was hurting runners more than helping them. Elevated heels promote high-impact landing and narrow toe boxes squeeze the toes out of their natural position.
