Colorado is the Wild West of historical mountain towns where slopes are shredded and home-brewed beer is guzzled. It’s the land where people from everywhere come to challenge ski slopes. With time their lungs adapt to a mile high altitude. People are Rocky Mountain high on the amazing outdoor living here in Colorado. It boasts as being one of the healthiest and sunniest places in the USA. Our state not only has natural beauty, but has man-made products worth shedding light on. Fortunately, we have been able to narrow it down to 10 things we love, made in Colorado.

SOM Footwear

A shoe factory in Colorado? When Olie Marchal realized that his old shoes were causing his back pain, it sparked the idea for SOM Footwear . It seemed only natural to Olie that the factory be located down the road from where he made that first pair of SOMs—minimalist shoes that give toes room to do the work they are meant to do.

SOM Footwear makes high-quality, barefoot inspired sneakers, manufactured entirely in the town of Montrose in Southwest Colorado. Each model is tested over miles and miles of dirt road and rugged terrain in the San Juan mountains. Featuring a roomy toe box and zero drop sole, SOMs are available online and shipped world wide. But you're in for a treat if you're passing through the area—SOM Footwear offers an on-site outlet store as well as free factory tours.
