The Signature Pink shoe was created to mimic the original shoe that brought courage, color and connection through a breast cancer journey.
Lets connect and do great work together. Stay updated and hear about new colors, partnerships, Poppies for Patients and more.
It all started with a breast cancer diagnosis and the bravery found from wearing pink ballet flats.
The Signature Pink Shoe was designed to spark bravery, courage and connection for you or a loved one facing a breast cancer diagnosis. Whether you wear our shoes for your own journey, send them to a loved one as a gift of support, or to honor someone who fought a courageous cancer battle, we hope our pink shoes ignite the power to be strong and brave with every step taken.
Shoes arrive in our reusable, hand made duster bag, designed to mimic the original bright and colorful pattern from the 1950’s, that was worn as the original “duster” belonging to the grandmother of the founder.
Want to personalize your shoes? We have charms. Add a letter, or full initials or an embossed heart to make your shoes feel “extra” special.
Did you know March is Colon Cancer awareness month and navy blue is the color for awareness?
Our Staple Navy Blue Shoe was created to ignite courage, bring comfort, and be a statement of strength while creating awareness through color for Colon Cancer.
You might be wearing these to brave your own Colon Cancer journey, to support someone currently fighting or to honor a loved one who fought their own courageous battle. We are cheering you on every step of the way!
We hope these shoes bring the steady strength and courage needed, every day of the journey.

The world will see you and will want to know your story. We say “share it, boldly and bravely!”

Share in the power of giving Poppies!
We started donating pink Poppies in 2023 and it soon become an annual tradition, thanks to people like you.
What started with an email to friends and family asking if they’d help donate pink shoes over the holiday season, has quickly turned into a cherished annual tradition.
When you choose to purchase Poppies for Patients, we add a pair of shoes to fill our tote for a day of delivery to MGH and Dana Farber.
We are grateful for people like you, who help us bring cheer during the holidays to those impacted by this disease!
We love personalization. Don’t you?
Personalize your Poppies by adding meaningful letters for initials or symbols (heart, butterfly, flower etc) that describe you or your gift-ee and we will create a charm stack trio, making your Poppies unique and one of a kind.
The right heel of your shoes will have three charms stacked, giving you the extra pep in your step for anything coming your way!
Leave us a note when you order and we will be in touch with a recommended charm stack before we ship your order.
Cheers to always finding the pop of color each day and adding some sparkle with the personalization.

We donate various percentages, annually to non profits like Runway For Recovery, who’s mission is to have a direct impact on families facing a breast cancer diagnosis on a daily basis. Let’s walk together so we can have more thrivers, rocking their colorful shoes, telling their cancer story.
Our shoes are intended for anyone needing a colorful boost of courage and connection in their life but most importantly during their cancer journey. Cancer can rob us of many things, but it cannot take away our spirit. Why not send strength and ignite courage through solidarity with our meaningful colors to those that need it most!?
