Beyond barking dogs.

My feet were howling.

I needed a better shoe. I found most options were uncomfortable, poorly conceived, and imported. Like you, I want neutral running shoes that I actually enjoy running in, and I want them made in the USA. So I’ve started making them myself.

In my hunt for the perfect running shoe, I see an industry abandoned by the American entrepreneur. Many producers are sacrificing quality and outsourcing labor to build more profitable shoes. I want to create a superior shoe using the best materials and artisans our great country has to offer. From this dream, Carson Footwear is born.

Carsons are about quality. Our 9.5 oz shoes are built with a zero-drop, 10mm, polyurethane midsole/outsole and a light, flexible upper. We finish them off with a 5mm sock liner for ultimate comfort and added protection. We offer infinite sizing to ensure your shoes fit just the way you like. All of our shoes are made to order by hand, with love, in beautiful Milwaukie, Oregon.

Thank you for choosing our stuff. We are proud to be running with you!
