Seth and Zac Longaker are a couple of real oddballs. According to Seth, "When we were kids, our mother used to threaten to take us to the foot doctor. She said she wanted to have our toes shortened." Sounds kind of twisted, but the truth of the matter is Seth and Zac were born with extraordinarily large feet. The two brothers are over six-foot-six and both wear size 16 shoe. As you can imagine, from an early age, they were ridiculed about the size of their feet. "I knew I was a little odd when in third grade, I was taller than my teacher," says Zac. But like any enterprising entrepreneur, Seth and Zac took a problem and turned it into an opportunity. Armed with business degrees from the University of San Diego, Seth and Zac formed Oddball Shoe Company.
"It all came to me one day when I was in a shoe store trying to pick out a new pair of shoes. I asked the clerk for a name brand shoe. He laughed. Then he brought out a pair of those burgundy shoes from the 1960s and wanted me to pay $500 for them. Then it all clicked. This was our opportunity", states Zac.
Seth and Zac realized there was a need for a shoe company that provided name brand shoes and catered to people with big feet. "Our concept was to have a place that had a great selection, a groovy atmosphere and is customer service oriented. A place where size always matters," says Seth.
Now Seth and Zac sell a large variety of oversized and
Big Shoes to those who need them.
