Shortly following a successful launch this past August, MBA alumni business Common Soles LLC, is now announcing the release of two new styles of flip-flops. The sales of these two new styles will generate funding to support education in the region of India in which they were crafted.

Common Soles LLC, was founded in 2009 in Wellesley, MA by Dave Mesicek and Rao Naraharasetty as a brand of footwear that exists as a means to generate funding to support community improvement initiatives in manufacturing communities around the globe. Additionally, Common Soles will bring innovation and transparency to the footwear supply chain through making the direct connection between the factory worker and the eventual consumer. Common Soles footwear is handmade by skilled craftsmen and women in many of the world’s regions where Common Soles’ funded initiatives are in action.

Common Soles products are available online and via select retailers.
