Description

Zebra SlidesWe finally got our hands on something we thought might never make it out of Africa. The Red Ghost. A massive bull elephant that terrorized villages across Zimbabwe, striking at night and slipping back into the brush before anyone ever saw him clearly. He earned his name because he was almost never seen in daylight. People only knew the aftermath. The fear. The bodies. The stories whispered around fires. Wildlife officials eventually brought him down

We finally got our hands on something we thought might never make it out of Africa. The Red Ghost. A massive bull elephant that terrorized villages across Zimbabwe, striking at night and slipping back into the brush before anyone ever saw him clearly. He earned his name because he was almost never seen in daylight. People only knew the aftermath. The fear. The bodies. The stories whispered around fires.

Wildlife officials eventually brought him down late last year, and we secured a panel from this giant. Then it vanished into a different kind of wilderness: nearly 10 months stuck in customs while CITES inspectors combed through every detail.

Today it’s official. It cleared. The Red Ghost is here.

This is the first time a man-killing bull elephant has ever been turned into products!

Toehold Slides

Built for the road, the ranch, the range—and everything in between.

After outfitting the world’s toughest feet in the world’s best flip-flops, we finally did it. At the personal request of President Donald J. Trump—who owns two pairs of Toeholds—we went to work crafting the only American-made slides worthy of carrying the Toehold name.

Built with the same no-compromise approach that defines our flip-flops, these aren’t your average throwaway slides. These are slides for patriots, for professionals, for hunters, and for anyone who understands that comfort should never come at the cost of quality.

Every pair is handcrafted from the same full-grain American leather that built our name—stitched by hand for strength, bonded with premium adhesive, and backed by the same Vibram® USA tread that have taken our flip-flops around the world.

After a full day hiking ridgelines in boots or stalking elk through thorn-covered country, there’s nothing like sliding your feet into a pair of Toeholds at camp. Around the fire, back at base, or on the tailgate with your gear piled up—you’ll feel the difference instantly. Your feet earned this.

• Handstitched American Craftsmanship

Each pair is stitched by hand. No machines, no shortcuts—just skilled American hands doing it right.

• Full-Grain, Vegetable-Tanned American Leather

This is the highest grade of leather on Earth.

We start with full-grain hides—meaning the strongest, outermost layer of the cowhide, left uncorrected and untouched. No sanding. No coating. Just raw strength and natural character.

It’s tanned the old-fashioned way: using vegetable tannins—not harsh chemicals. This traditional process uses tree bark and natural extracts to preserve the leather, giving it a rich feel, an earthy aroma, and a patina that tells your story over time.

It’s tougher, more breathable, and dramatically more beautiful than anything mass-produced.

• Reinforced Industrial Bonding

We use a proprietary high-grade adhesive systems designed for lasting hold, heavy wear, and extreme conditions. Built to endure, not degrade. 

• Vibram® USA Outsole

Military-grade traction trusted by America’s elite. Engineered for real-world terrain—urban or wild.  Omnidirectional slip resistant.

• No Foam. No Fillers. No Compromise.

We don’t pad our products with cheap materials. Just raw, rugged components that outlast everything else.

• 100% Made in the USA

Designed, cut, bonded, stitched, and built on American soil by American workers.

Toehold®: For Every Occasion

From hunting camps to red carpets, desert hikes to presidential vacations—our flip-flops earned their reputation by showing up where others fall apart. Now our slides are stepping up.

It truly is the most Essential Guide
Format: Paperback
I've worked as a professional comic book letterer for more than a decade. I've had to learn a lot through trial and error since there was so little written about this technical field of work. Finally, there is now a book for amateur letterers to have all they need to understand the craft and for professional letterers to both reference and pick up new ideas from. This book isn't just a tutorial on "how to letter comics." This also showcases creative ways to letter, interesting techniques that even experienced letterers might not know about, and - what I found to be the most helpful - the realities of a letterer's freelance life and ways the write had worked to develop a good workflow and healthy work schedule to avoid burnout or physical strain. This is an engaging book, so even if you know how to letter well or you know nothing about lettering and want to understand the kind of work that letterers do, I highly recommend this as a great read. Through my experience, I developed very different methods than what this guide described, but both are valid and I even picked up new ideas and tried out new ways of doing things while reading this book. If you want to learn how to letter, buy this book. If you want to be a better letterer, buy this book. If you don't want to letter but you want to know more about how comics are made or how one freelances in this industry, this guide is great for that too. The only thing missing is a thorough explanation on how to develop one's own comic book fonts, but like the author said, that would take up an entire book in itself. Here's hoping one day there's a companion guide to comic book font creation, because I would love to learn more about that too.

Truly Essential! The perfect guide to Comic Book Lettering!
Format: Paperback, Format: Paperback
I'm completely new to Comic Book Lettering with some experience in Graphic Design but I picked this up just for my curiosity. After taking a quick flip with the book, It does not disappoint and lives up exactly to the title. It TRULY is the essential guide to Comic Book Lettering. This book comes from Nate Piekos who is the founder of BLAMBOT (one of the most professional comic book lettering companies to date). He drops every bit of wisdom and experience he's ever received / gotten through into this book and the result speaks for itself. All the tools, techniques, tips, discussions, etc are found here. He goes through what he uses / recommends for programs and tools, breaks down the structures of what goes into comic book lettering (balloons / dialogue / captions / fonts / etc), teaches you how to create a useful / time-saving templates, gives you pointers even at the most subtle aspects of lettering, covering / creating dialogue balloons, covering / creating sound effects, covering / creating logos, etc. There's so much information and visual imagery here within these pages that I can talk about this book day and night.. and again: I'm completely new to this. The book is honestly that inspiring. I recommend this, without a doubt. A master class in comic lettering! Truly thankful for Nate Piekos creating this book as well as those that helped bring it to publication.

Truly "essential" for any letterer, whether casual or serious about the profession!
Format: Paperback
When I first got this book, I was a bit disappointed. I thought it was going to be detailing lettering by hand. It didn't. But guess what? It's better for it. As the author, Nate Peikos, demonstrates, the bulk of lettering now is done digitally and with good reason. So not only is this book incredibly inspiring for any graphic artist / letterer -- with its many examples of great lettering; its demonstration of useful techniques -- the author is so open and honest in his writing. While reading it, you don't feel that he's putting the job of lettering out of the reader's reach. In fact, he's putting it right within reach through a humility that is coupled with his exceptional skills. If you're an up-and-coming letterer, someone on the outskirts of lettering wanting to delve into it more professional (like myself), or even if you've had some work doing lettering, there is something for each type in this book. It's a book that I'll cherish and reference frequently, especially with all the examples that just ooze inspiration. My only regret is that I didn't know about some of these techniques a few years ago! But, nevertheless, I started implementing some of the techniques the first day after reading just a few pages. It reinvigorated my own desire to become a better and even semi-professional letterer, a very under-appreciated profession.

A great overall book, with one critical omission.
Format: Paperback
This is a great book to illuminate the mysterious art of comicbook lettering. It goes deep into the practical details and theory required to make a graphic novel, manga, or superhero comic with the look and feel of a professional product. But comicbook lettering is actually more than a purely aesthetic art form, it plays a critical role in conveying meaning, emotional mood, and tone of voice. Along with the artwork and panel composition, the layout of the lettering and dialogue balloons is also critical to help guide the reader's eyes naturally from panel to panel. If you're curious about how graphic design for visual narrative works, this is an interesting and inspiring book. My only criticism is the conspicuous omission of perhaps the one topic this author is uniquely qualified to illuminate, and that is: the actual creation of the fonts themselves. I've admired Nate's Blambot comic fonts for a long time (and have purchased licenses for some of them), so I was looking forward to at least getting an overview of how he approaches this seemingly critical aspect of comicbook lettering. But no. He doesn't go into it even slightly, which is a shame, because this would have been the perfect book on the topic if he had. I understand that font design is a huge topic unto itself, but was disappointed that in a book of this size, there weren't even a few pages dedicated to discussing the process of making fonts for comicbooks. Literally anyone reading this book would want to know that information. Having said that, it's a great book, and I still enjoyed it very much. You'll probably be surprised by how much more there is to learn about this topic than you may have thought. Reading it will deepen your appreciation for an art form that, like a great movie score, is basically invisible when done very well, yet amplifies the emotional impact of each contributing discipline, and profoundly contributes to the enjoyment of the final experience.
