TOSH (The Olde Shoe House Ltd)

Drawing on more than 30 years experience in the shoe industry Rich Hunt in 2005 opened a Canadian Sales and Marketing agency called The Olde Shoe House Ltd (TOSH). The company has five local employees and functions as a sales and marketing agency, working with designers and international manufacturers to create and sell and market shoes under well respected brand names. TOSH currently sells and markets footwear imported from China, for brands such as DEWALT and TOPO Athletic Footwear. TOSH maintains a corporate office, along with a show room and distribution center in Burlington, Ontario. Using a team of Canadian agencies to do the up-front work has allowed the Head Office team to focus on better customer service. "We want to offer fun, young, and affordable footwear to the Canadian market that retailers will enjoy selling and consumers will enjoy wearing", said Rich Hunt, President of TOSH. DEWALT is a front runner in the safety industry and continues to grow rapidly due to its commitment to producing the safety footwear in the world. In an industry where companies tend to lose focus with their mass array of products, DEWALT sticks with what it knows: comfortable and durable footwear. The mission is simple: provide our customers with safety footwear durable enough to be worn on the jobsite, but refined enough to be worn in the city. TOPO Athletic is a brand created for and by athletes with a mission to develop athletic gear made with humble innovation. “Humble” because we know quite well that our equipment doesn’t make you better—you make you better. Our role is to help. “Innovation” because we are committed to the ongoing study of physiology, environments, and emerging technologies that enable athletes to constantly improve.
