James Chambliss

Hey, Guy and Eric, it's an honor to be with you guys.

I learn a lot from this show, so thanks very much for the opportunity.

My name is James Chambliss.

I'm from Orange County, California.

I'm the founder of Pigeon Toes, which is a fun kids flip-flop brand.

Our goal is to build the world's raddest, comfiest kids flip-flops, and our core focus and motto is built for comfort for kids.

Yeah, we've done a couple of core things, which one of the number one complaints of kids for the first time getting into flip-flops is the scratchy toe cord between their toes.

And so when we did some research and starting this out, we found that out.

And so we've come up with just a really pillowy, soft toe cord.

And then the second thing that kind of helps us stick out

is kids can customize their strap design.

And so what happens on our website is they're able to choose their flavor, which is the color.

So that's the first choice.

And then they're able to choose their topping, which is the strap design, which is kind of fun for them.

Yeah, so I've actually been in the apparel business.

I started my core company out of college.

And so I've been doing this for a while.

I started with screen printing, doing mainly t-shirts and delivering them to the dorms.

And it's kind of a funny story, but I used to put the t-shirts in my oven in my kitchen because I didn't have a big conveyor belt oven to cure the ink.

And so I would deliver them to the dorms hot out of the oven.
