"Back in the time of pack trains and large cattle roundups, a mozo would help out with heavy work around the ranch. The mozo was always on his feet working. The spirit of the mozo inspired founder Jim Agnew to engineer shoes for individuals who spent long hours working on their feet. Immediately after MOZO® shoes became available, we started receiving positive feedback from culinary professionals across the country. Chefs were making MOZO® their brand of choice. Clearly, chefs are food artists, but they are also lateral sport athletes. You are always on your feet moving side to side or back-and-forth, and that inspired us to combine running shoe technology with work shoe toughness. MOZO® shoes utilize full grain leather, certified slip-resistant outsoles, and the exclusive TripleFit System™. Other companies may use plastic coated leather, thin and cheap outsoles and flimsy sock liners, but not us. MOZO® shoes are made from full grain leather because leather breathes and molds to the foot, thereby providing great comfort. Footwear durability, comfort and stability are defined in numerous ways and touted by many companies. No company wants to create a shoe that does not meet these standards. Everyone at MOZO® is committed to these principles. To us, durability does not simply mean that your shoes will last a long time without falling apart, although MOZO® shoes meet that criterion. We take durability a step further because our shoes will continue to provide cushioning, traction, support and craftsmanship needed to thrive in your work environment for a long time. When these components work together, your feet are going to be the last thing on your mind during your shift. At MOZO, we make more than slip-resistant work shoes; we engineer Shoes that serve®.
