At Gumption Gear we strive to provide our readers with in-depth, informative, and balanced reviews of the latest outdoor gear. Through our new feature “The Business of Gear” we aim to introduce our readers to the personalities and companies behind your favorite gear.
We start our series with a question and answer session with Skora, a Portland, Oregon-based company founded in 2008 by self-proclaimed “ordinary” runners tired of the injuries caused by traditional running shoes. Recently we posted a first look review of Skora’s flagship minimalist running shoe the Form. David Sypniewski, Founder and CEO of SKORA Running, was gracious enough to discuss the company, his vision and the shoes that make the brand.
