Every once in a while I stumble upon a company that catches my interest for more than what they're selling. Combat Flip Flops certainly has an interesting story.
"Bad for running. Worse for fighting," isn't exactly a slogan aimed at attracting the hard core fitness enthusiast or mixed martial artist, but that's not quite the demographic Combat Flip Flops has targeted.
The company, founded by two former Army Rangers, aims, "To create peaceful, forward-thinking opportunities for self-determined entrepreneurs affected by conflict. Our willingness to take bold risks, community connection, and distinct designs communicate, "Business, Not Bullets"--flipping the view on how wars are won. Through persistence, respect, and creativity, we empower the mindful consumer to manufacture peace through trade."
Combat Flip Flops has an interesting selection of products and proceeds benefit those in war torn countries.UNAPOLOGETICALLY, WE MAKE COOL STUFF IN DANGEROUS PLACES.We do this because it's our job to show others what's possible, then encourage them to join us.WELCOME TO THE UNARMED FORCES.
The Double Bottom Line:
- Every product Combat Flip Flops sells puts an Afghan girl into secondary school for a day.
- Each Peacemaker Bangle or coinwrap sold clears 3 square meters of Unexploded Ordnance (UXO) from a region rocked by long-term war - saving lives and providing economic opportunity.
