Annie Mohaupt

Biography

Annie makes each pair of shoes by hand at her studio in the Logan Square neighborhood of Chicago. Mohop shoes are composed of rubber soling made from recycled tires, a Finnish birch plywood core, and topped with various select veneers. These components are laminated together and pressed on molds that Annie designed and fabricated herself. The graphics on the footbed of the sandals are Annie’s original designs, which she screen-prints by hand at Chicago’s legendary Screwball Press. Annie takes care to use the most environmentally-friendly woods, glues, sealers and inks that she can source.
