America's largest safety expo is headed for Anaheim this year and Mellow Walk will once again be there to display its complete range of steel-toe comfort safety footwear. Look for Mellow Walk at Booth 2654. We hope to see you - September 22-24, 2008 at the Anaheim Convention Center.

Recent changes to Mellow Walk's website means there are now three ways to access our orthopedic collections for men and women.

1) Click on the purple Ortho comfort poster found on each page

2) Click on the Ortho link found in the footer links on each page

Canada and the United States have long been friends and allies. Well, it was pointed out to us that hogging all of the Mellow Walk steel-toe comfort safety shoes for the Canadian market was not the sign of a good friend. So we wanted all of our American friends to know that we have changed our ways (for the better, of course). If you would like to experience what our customers (on this side of the border) have long regarded as Canada's premium light-duty safety shoes, please give one of our U.S. distributors a call.

In upstate New York call Dival Safety or contact Safety Solutions, which has distribution centres in five states as well as a national mail-order business. And we are proud to recognize Trav's Outfitter in South Dakota as one of Mellow Walk's newest U.S. distributors.For complete addresses go to Mellow Walk's custom google maps feature.

Mellow Walk has expanded its stock program for 2008. New to stock are Anna 4103, and a pair of Jacks : ) 5154 Black and 5156 Brown Newport.

“We understand how important the stock program is to our customers. We have orthopedic clinics that only need one or two pairs at a time, and we have large customers who need fill-ins,” says Jeff Violi, VP, Admin. “Our stock program is able to serve both groups and is replenished weekly.”

In recent years, orthopedic retailers have woken up to the huge growth opportunities afforded by fitting aging workers with properly fitted safety shoes.

Safety footwear is a market Mellow Walk knows well. It has been manufacturing category leading steel-toe comfort light-duty safety footwear for nearly 10 years.  Many orthopedic customers are buying safety footwear supported by Mellow Walk’s in-stock program on key styles such as Patrick and Jamie.

“Our safety in-stock program operates in much the same way as our orthopedic stock program,” says Jeff Violi, VP, Administration. “A customer can order as few as one or two pairs.”

Lorenzo Perez, Mellow Walk’s chief designer sums up Mellow Walk’s popularity this way. “Our safety shoes have many qualities that orthotic specialists require. Our shoes are comfortable, our soles provide good stability, and our deep fitting lasts accommodate custom orthotics.”

If you saw our flyer, (mailed to all 3,500 attendees) great. Welcome to Mellow Walk's website. Please have a look around. If you like what you see, we would love for you to drop by our booth (#1229) to see our entire collection of steel-toe comfort safety footwear. We look forward to seeing you at the IAPA Health & Safety Trade Show - April 21-22 at the Toronto Convention Centre (S. Building).

Mellow Walk was profiled on Global National News (January 23) after a meeting in Toronto between Ontario manufacturers and the Ontario government. To watch the video segment go to January 23 and click on Global National Stories - Market Turbulence.

Mellow Walk has applied for and received ASTM approval for its Patrick, Jack, Jamie, and Anna lines of steel toe comfort safety shoes for men and women. "This approval can really open a lot of doors in the American market," says Andrew Violi, Director of Marketing. "Just as our Canadian customers demand CSA certification, our US customers require ASTM certified safety shoes." Patrick is Mellow Walk's best selling dressy men's safety shoe available with steel-toe and SD sole. Jack is new from Mellow Walk and is more casual. Jack is available with steel-toe and an optional kevlar (lenzi) protective plate. Jamie, a best seller for the past three years is available with steel-toe and SD sole. Anna, is the latest women's shoe from Mellow Walk. Ultra light with a small heel and fashion flare, Anna is sold with steel-toe and SD sole.
