NEW-FOUND-HOPE
We are an adaptive childrens brand on a mission to empower kids of all abilities to spring forward with New-Found-Hope in their Soles!
Core Values:
B-U-L-B
Bold
The path of purpose; embracing the challenges and battling boldly to make the world a brighter place for all to enjoy. Boldness, combined with love and humility, is like a light in the darkness.
Upright
The mind that is set on living honestly and with integrity. Thinking about things that are true, noble, right, pure, lovely, admirable, excellent and praiseworthy.
Loving
The heart that is content to put others before themselves. Love is patient and kind; love does not envy or boast; it is not arrogant or rude. It does not insist on its own way; it is not irritable or resentful; it does not rejoice at wrongdoing, but rejoices with the truth. Love bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things.
Balanced
The body and soul aligned in the way of peace and steadiness. Do not be anxious about tomorrow, for tomorrow will be anxious for itself. Sufficient for the day is its own trouble.
NFH - The Journey
Family Reunion
New-Found-Hope started with two brothers wanting to connect and bridge the divide that had seen 21 years of living in the same household but rarely speaking due to Autism and Neurodevelopmental Differences. A Project formed.

Steps Together
A problem was then discovered one day while out on a run together that the older brother was breaking apart his shoes due to walking and running persistantly on his toes. Steps were then taken to engineer a product that adjusted his foot-gait to a healthy heel-to-toe motion.

Learn, Grow, Develop
A Special Tiptoe-Stopping Technology along with a New-Found bond to last a lifetime. Developed through trial, error and many an adventure; these two soles grew from from shoe, insole to comfortable slipper sole.
