Two of the odder ideas in modern footwear have Utah County addresses. Zero drop running shoes began in an Orem running store as other brands' shoes, cut apart and glued back together level. In Lindon, a company sells a sneaker you put on without using your hands. The shoe companies here tend to start with one argument about how a shoe should work, then keep making it for years.
