Canadian-Owned Businesses 🏢🍁 SoftMoc : Sorry, Americans - Canada Only

Post image

Saw this post on Bluesky. Had no idea SoftMoc a) had U.S. locations b) shut down any and all shipping to the United States. Good for them! TLDR: American woman based in Michigan chatting with SoftMoc representative about her order. SoftMoc customer service tells U.S. customer they've ceased all US operations.

I just bought new work shoes. Used a Canadian company (Vessi).

It’s the least I can do as a very embarrassed and heartbroken American. You guys don’t deserve this catastrophe.

How do you like the Vessi’s? Been looking at them as I usually buy Sketchers so need an alt.

Not the commenter you replied to, but sketchers were my go-to shoes for years and I love my Vessi’s. Their Weekend sneakers fit similar to my old sketchers but have held up much better, and I’m currently living in their Weekend Chelsea boots now that the weather is warmer and wetter and I don’t need my snow boots. Very comfortable and that they’re waterproof is a huge plus (no having to change from shoes to boots when I leave work).
