Forsake on Kickstarter - new shoe co for boarders
A few years ago my friend and I noticed our friends and ourselves sliding around and soaking through our shoes because none of us wanted to wear winter or hiking boots around campus and at ski areas. This inspired us to start a company that makes versatile shoes with the performance features of a purpose built hiking boot (waterproof/breathable membrane, lugged sole, etc.) and the style of a casual shoe. We put in 2 years of work developing the company and our designs and now we’re ready for mass production.
Our project is now on the crowd-funding site Kickstarter.com to generate the money for mass production. We are offering a bunch of rewards for pledges including pre-ordering the shoes at the wholesale price of $75. They will retail for $120-$140 so this is a really good deal for fully waterproof shoes.
We started Forsake for our fellow skiers and snowboarders so check out our video and get yourself some shoes!

Looks cool. Best of luck getting it started.
Great idea, but why the one style? The “3 models” all seem to have an identical shape and only distinguishable bye minor visual changes.
I was really hoping to see snowboard boot inspired/skate styled shoes - That would sell the product to me.
Good luck with that though, looks promising.
Look great to me. Might have me ordering some
Thanks guys!
The main difference between the three models are the cuff heights and the materials used. The Thurston is a mid top, the Hiker is a high top and the Pilot is somewhere in the middle.
We met met up with some friends last weekend and shot a few promo videos. Check out the Thurston enjoying a rainy day Forsake style!
