A letter from the president

A Note From Pete

"Years ago, I worked long hours manning trade show booths for a large US Corporation. I also traveled a great deal, spending many hours annually running trough airports and sitting on airplanes. While I personally did not mind all the running, my feet sure did. And when my dogs barked, my knees, hips and lower back often followed suit. It became very apparent that my feet seemed to run the show with respect to how I felt physically.

It is because of these personal experiences that we began the development process for Piro Shoes. At first, I simply wanted a light weight shoe that was comfortable enough to stop my feet from screaming...and I wanted it to be affordable. Then we began to add to the list of features. Sort of like when you start that list of what you're looking for in a mate and it ends up more like a description of something akin to a supermodel with magical powers. That's what happened...

IF the shoe was light weight and extremely comfortable, could it be worn with or without socks? Great idea....add a long lasting ANTIMICROBIAL AGENT to the list.

No socks! Wow, this might be a great boat shoe. Add highly SLIP RESISTANT to the list.

Hey, IF the shoe is slip resistant and comfortable, it would be great for servers at bars and restaurants. True, but boy do those shoes take a beating. Add MACHINE WASHABLE.

And with all that pounding the pavement, it sure would be nice if you could add air conditioning to a shoe...enter our patented, VENTED OUTSOLE. Sweet.

Wait. Did somebody mention boating? A boating shoe should be a water shoe too. OK, now we need to evacuate water and use materials that dry very quickly. No problem. We made the upper of quick-dry mesh.

So we found ourselves staring at the description of a supershoe.

In the end, which is really the beginning of our story, we developed Piro Shoes.

We feel we have created a great product and are excited to introduce it into North America. The last piece of the puzzle is very important. How will our Company be thought of? Well, simply I hope,as a Company who committed itself to a product that lives up to or exceeds every claim. A Company that has committed part of its financial well being to assist those less fortunate than us or who gave of themselves. Our PIRO'S HEROS program honors these individuals and gives back to the community and we are very proud of this program."
