HO CHI TIM SANDALS...what?! A quick history lesson...In the 1960's the Vietnam War was going on. A lot of American lives were altered by this conflict. The leader of the "enemy" forces was a man named Ho Chi Minh. The fighters he was in charge of (out of necessity) started fabricating sandals to wear in the jungle made out of a tire and an inner tube. They used what they had and it worked out pretty well. They fought valiantly against the United States military and eventually the U.S. left, not having changed the regime.
My name is Tim. I was born in 1969 so I did not fight in this conflict. I do, however, like wearing sandals. I also have time on my hands, so I thought of a great idea. I am going to design a sandal that is so comfortable and durable, and affordable, that people will have to buy it. It is going to be made in Akron, Ohio, capital of the rubber industry, proudly made in the USA. It is going to be made out of recycled rubber which is environmentally conscious. A portion of the proceeds from the sale of each pair will go to the Vietnam veterans charities or wounded warriors. This is going to be so cool...
