| Mohop sandals are environmentally friendly, comfortable, and best of all, allow nearly infinite design options with just one pair of wooden soles. Simply lace any ribbon through our patent-pending elastic loops to create your own one-of-a-kind, custom-fit pair! Mohop shoes are individually hand made by Annie Mohaupt in our studio in Chicago. |
| How to wear your shoes |
| Our innovative shoe has been dubbed the 'infinity sandal'. Essentially, the wearer can easily customize her shoes by changing the ribbons that tie the shoes on. Different lengths and styles of ribbons can be used to achieve a virtually infinite number of looks with just one pair of wooden soles. So anybody can play Imelda Marcos without requiring the budget and storage space for 5,000 shoes! |
| Are they comfortable? |
| YES!!!! The curved shape of the footbed provides even support along the length of the foot, alleviating the typical fatigue points at the heel or ball of the foot. Our proprietary elastic loops allow the ribbon ties to move with the foot, eliminating the blisters and chafing associated with most new sandals. |
| Caring for your sandals |
| Your Mohops are meant to be worn frequently and eventually they may get dirty or scratched. The shoes feature a durable hand-rubbed finish - to clean, simply wipe them with cool water and a mild detergent. Rubbing a dab of mineral or olive oil on any scratches will make them virtually disappear. Most ribbons can be machine or hand washed. |

| Annie Mohaupt |
|---|
| Annie grew up on a small sheep farm about 100 miles west of Chicago. Her greatest inspiration growing up was her mother, who taught her that power tools are a girl thing. |
| Annie's degree is in architecture, and she worked in the field for close to 7 years. Annie started making shoes in 2005 as an experiment to see if she could indeed make shoess. It was WAY more work than she expected. |
| If Annie didn't spend all her time making shoes and thinking about making shoes, she would enjoy: going to the movies; game nights; tea time; fat novels; slow jogs with Kiddo the Dog; and vegan cupcakes. |
