This is the fun part of what I do. I had never heard of See Kai Run, but yesterday, I received the following press release and now am filled in on another cool little shoe company out of Seattle, WA. What I like about them just right off the bat is that they sent out a press release announcing two new sales reps. Way to make them feel welcome is the first thought, but then the second thought is this is great for the business depending how far it gets distributed. The second thing I noticed with much delight is they have a “giving back” tab on the website showing their commitment to charity. They have given over 9700 pairs of shoes to our friends at Soles4Souls and they also sell t-shirts with proceeds going to UNICEF. High five to that! The name “See Kai Run” is named after the founders son. Way cute! I am happy I am now aware of this cool little kids shoe company. By the way, they had a posting on their site that they are looking for independent sales reps. You can email your resume here if you are interested: careers@seekairun.com. Happy Friday! -Julia

About See Kai Run

See Kai Run and Smaller promote healthy development of babies’ and children’s feet with their ultra-flexible soles, soft leather and wide toe box. Our footwear meets the American Podiatric Medical Association’s rigorous standards for foot health and functionality and has been awarded the APMA’s prestigious Seal of Acceptance.

See Kai Run is a family-owned and operated business located outside of Seattle, Washington. The idea was born when owner Cause Haun was on a quest for the perfect first pair of shoes for her son, Kai. Unable to find shoes in fun styles that still promoted the healthy development of little feet, Cause and her husband created their own line of shoes that satisfied all of these needs. In just 4 years, See Kai Run has seen sales expand from a few boutiques, mostly in the Seattle area, to stores all around the country and worldwide.
