Mozo takes inspiration for its name from a mozo- a ranch hand hired to do the heavy work around the ranch. Needless to say the mozo was always on his feet working all day and really could have used some comfortable supportive footwear. Mozo Shoes combines stability and cushioning from running shoe technology and merges it with the toughness of a work shoe. In fact, road races have even been run in Mozo shoes! Mozo shoes are made from high quality full grain leather and certified slip-resistant outsoles. Mozo Shoes are made from full grain leather because leather breathes and molds to the foot, thereby providing great comfort. Moze believes that durability does not simply mean that your shoes will last a long time without falling apart. The stability & cushioning of a running shoe when combined with a full grain upper of a work shoe is sure to keep your feet and back feeling good at the end of a long work day.
