The Cushe team went to Scotland to road test our next collection, see our snaps of the breathtaking views, comfy feet and one incredible treehouse! We worked very hard (Honest!) testing at the beach and in the pub and yes, it's official, the shoes are awesome!
We adored this write-up on our Shucoon by the environmental agenda setters at the Ecologist, here's what they think:
"...but if you’re looking for something a little sturdier, check out Cushe’s Shucoon range, (above) £50. ‘All of Cushe’s shoes are designed with comfort, wellness and the Cushe lifestyle in mind, from the sculpted footbeds which support the foot, to the use of memory foam and Eco Cell technology which increase comfort and fit,’ says Cush’s Global Marketing Manager, Ciaran Henderson."
We’re looking forward to the Easter break but before we crack into the chocolate we first want to say thank you to our lovely friends at Bodyfit who have featured our Cushe Clover Sandals as a part of their ‘New kit on the block spread’. We suggest you pick up a copy for some essential weekend reading and take on a walk on the Cushe side!
Wherever you are in the world and whether it's a fresh early morning, an early Summer evening in the city, or a stormy Autumn afternoon, there's often the opportunity to get a glimpse of that something special that stops you in your tracks and always makes you feel good.
We are of course talking about Cushe's love of sunrises and sunsets (and that's not just because they're orange!) so we're celebrating them by creating a new gallery on Facebook.
Get snapping, tag us in you images and tell us where you are in the world!
Cushe loves the Summer almost as much as we love Surfgirl magazine so we were very happy to see the latest issue of Surfgirl featuring fresh summery retro pastels and our aqua Cushe slipper! Go buy a copy, dust of the deck-chair, sit in the back garden...and RELAX!
With the sunshine making an appearance just in time for the start of British Summer time, our Cushe friends on Facebook and Twitter have been posting their best excuses to get our of work early and they've ranged from the hilarious, to the quite plausible and the ridiculous.
These are just a few of our favourites to get you out of work and into the sunshine:
1. Josh - Why lie? Honesty is the best policy. Just say "I'm going skateboarding" =]
2. Dan - Sir, I regret to inform you that I have to resign today. I'm pursuing a career in selling office lawn furniture
3. hOT dOT! - * writing a note on a piece of paper.... "I've lost my voice so I will have to go home"
4. Andrei - You are a shoe company and shoes are usually worn outside, you really need to get in touch with this year's sun in order to create the next summer collection.
5. Mitch Walker - "My dog ate my kid’s homework so I have to go bring him/her another copy at school"
6. Ms Goriami - "I'm sorry I left my new Cushe shoes at home alone & the sun makes them restless so i need to go rescue them!"
7. Brita - "sorry, there's been a death in the family.... have togo home and flush Goldie down the loo"
8. DEE - "my astrologer has warned me to finish work early today,if I don't it will have disastrous consequences for the whole planet!"
9. Andrei - "You really need to find a new position for the 'lazy boy' and this cannot be accomplished indoors."
10. Christine - "my feet have a mind of there own, at the moment they want to walk on sunshine'
Our Cushe congratulations go out to Josh who wins a pair of brand spanking new Cushe's. Well done Josh, we'll message you the details and we'll have another competition next week, so keep a look out!
Keep it Cushe all :)
One day, the creative designer types here at the home of Cushe were so relaxed they were almost horizontal, drinking tea, daydreaming of long Summer days at the beach and wondering just how they can make they can make life even more laid-back and comfy. Eureka! With travel in mind and cosy feet they discovered the secret of the world's most Cushe shoe and dubbed it the Cushe Slipper.
The Cushe slipper is a deconstructed beach style shoe - it's easy, fun, comfortable, relaxed, versatile, good looking, laidback, unconventional and 100% Cushe! The perfect shoe for Summer, the Cushe Slipper is lightweight and versatile for any travel, no matter how far flung, from packing in your hand luggage, to keeping your toes comfy on the plane or at the beach, the new line is available in a range of beach-inspired colours from denim blue to neutral sandy tones to suit your holiday wardrobe.
Not content with having all the virtues listed above, the Cushe Slipper is also packed full of tech too, including Cushe’s zero degree pitch antimicrobial footbed, a unique ‘Rubber On’ EVA Manuka honeycomb outsole, and a sculptured wave sidewall profile to name a few - Its lightweight components mean you won’t even feel it on your foot either.
So go and give your feet a holiday, get yours here at Schuh!
We're chasing away that Monday feeling by reading Wavelength magazine - enjoying some epic photography and a great review on our 'After Ride' boots! A dawn-patrol must-have!
This morning we are feeling all things Summery and are very pleased to unveil our 'Love Me and Leaf Me' collection - our most feminine line to date.
Drawing inspiration from Cushe's love of travel, comfort and adventure, the collection is inspired by the exotic plant life of Amazonian rainforest, with our designers aiming to recreate the feeling of walking on the forest floor - soft, comfortable, free and airy.
Combining tropical tones like 'Papaya Orange' in high quality nubuck, a contoured leaf shaped sole unit and 'Arts & Crafts' style embroidery, the range doesn't just look great, but centre’s around wellbeing through ergonomic technology to offer a more posture conscious and corrective feeling with each Cushe step.
So whether you're strolling abroad, taking in the sites of somewhere exotic or just want to give your feet a holiday, you can always feel a bit more Cushe where ever you are.
