In 1989 he started Chaco Sandals. Within a few years, Chaco had a cult-like following and the letters started pouring in - “These things have taken me around the world, pain free. I can’t thank you enough…” “I never thought that a firm footbed could cure my plantar fasciitis, these are amazing…” “I NEVER take these things off. Can you make me a special white pair for my wedding?” (They did.) They were changing people’s lives with exceptional footwear. In 2015, Mark started Tread Labs: delivering those same experiences, this time by improving the support of the footwear that’s already in your closet. The letters (now emails) are pouring in and it’s as rewarding now as it was then. Tread Labs unique 2-part insole system is designed for the long haul. The molded arch supports are unconditionally guaranteed. Forever. The interchangeable top covers are easy to replace and won't break the bank. Imagine the number of molded arch supports that will never see the landfill. Arch Supports: Our molded arch supports are built to last a million miles. If they ever break or lose their shape, customers can receive a new pair. No questions asked. Top Covers: Top covers can be replaced when needed by ordering a new pair. Customer satisfaction is our priority. If your customer is unhappy with any Tread Labs product, we want to make it right.
