The MissionShoe Difference
MissionShoe has been an industry leader in providing quality shoes for the LDS missionary force for three good reasons: price, weight and durability.
Price
For $85 you get a pair of shoes that has a 100% polishable Brazilian leather upper and a polyurethane form injected sole to give extra support and comfort.
As far as price goes there are few options even comparable. So why not get twice the shoe for half the price?
Weight
MissionShoe is one of the only shoes created for missionaries in mind that weighs under 1 lbs. per shoe. They average about 14 oz. per shoe. The only comparable competitor is the Rockport Dressport Bike Toe Shoe that retails at $190 - more than double the cost of the MissionShoe.
You might be wondering what different does 8 oz per shoe really make? The answer is if you are just walking to your office's printing station and then back to your cubicle, not much. But if you are walking several miles a day then the lighter the better. Have you ever walked with ankle weights on? Sure they are only weigh about a pound but after carrying them around all day, your legs are tired! Less weight will cause less strain on foot, ankle and leg joints and make it easier for you to travel wherever you need to go.
Durability
Dress shoes, durability and comfort are seldom terms used in the same sentence but missionaries need them all! That's why we recommend MissionShoe. Their shoes are built from the same technology used by the Brazilian Postal Service. All major seams of the shoe are double or triple stitched, the sole comes up and over the leather upper making breaking or tearing along that area much more difficult.
The shoes were made for walking! And that's just what they'll do! These aren't dress shoes made for walking, these are walking shoes made dressy!
