Inspired by a road sign that ended up in the back of Everett Carson's trailer one day, (short story... if you buy him a beer he'll tell you the rest) the Stingers are a reminder to use caution - especially when we are feeling invincible, which we hope these shoes do for you!
Our shoes are built with a zero-drop, 10mm, polyurethane midsole/outsole with a light, flexible upper. We finish them off with a 5mm sockliner for ultimate comfort and added protection. All of our shoes are made to order by hand, with love, in beautiful Milwaukie, Oregon.
New aggressive tread now available in some sizes!

Love the styling on these… I get a lot of comments on them! And of course, being Carson’s, they perform amazingly well.. Full review here: http://barefootinclined.blogspot.com/2015/01/look-out-nike-and-adidas-carson.html

One of the most comfortable shoes I have in my closet. Not a big runner but I can’t go anywhere without these shoes. He are so comfortable. Any other shoes I wear seems to cause me pain when wearing them all day. Not these shoes, I wear these shoes to work everyday. They have a wide toe box which I did not know existed. The one maybe downside to the shoes are how light they’re. This is a huge plus but also not always the best for me. They are constructed of very light materials making it feel like you don’t have shoes on so you tend to feel any rock you may step on. Definitely going to have to buy a couple more pairs because my feet are unhappy without them.
