first, i love pink. i want a pair of pink boots. i would love to see purple too. but my main question is are these items sold in retail outlets like mark's work wearhouse. see, i need to try on the boots first. i wear a 1/2 size. a 6 1/2 to be exact. most times a 7 is too big, and sometimes a 6 fits good. but i need to try them first. i am tired of buying size 7 shoes and boots and having them constantly rubbing on my heels (that's where they tend to be too loose.) so, before i invest this kind of money, i really would like to try a pair on first.
also, my sister needs a pair, she likes the blue boots. she however, lives in montreal. will you be attending a home show something where she can go and try on a pair before she buys???
hope to hear from someone real soon.
thanks.

Hi there, I was recently at Zellers looking for woorkboots because I am In a automotive service tech apprenticeship program at the local college, and when I saw your line I was overcome with exitement. I had been trying so hard to find work gear for women and it has been impposible.I purchased a pair of your pink lensed safety glasses and workboots and am thrilled. I was wondering if you had any plans to release womens Cover-alls? because I have been searching desperatly for a pair that didn't fit me like a tent. Aswell I just wanted to congradulate you on your sucess and thank you for making it possible to work in male dominated feilds and still look feminen. Thank you , Sarah Chartrand

Love your workboots. I have the powder blue ones, and I've recommended them to several female collegues and trades. This is the first time in my 29 plus year career I've had boots that actually fit me properly. I've spent most of my working life struggling with equipment and apparel not made for a woman - either poorly designed, poorly fitting, or just plain U*G*L*Y..
Might you consider hooking up with a company that makes tool boxes? As each of my children has turned twelve, I've kitted them out with their own tool box, and proceeded to gradually fill it with everything they will need in adult life (they get a tool or two every occasion, including birthdays, Christmas, Easter, you name it). The standard red ones did okay for my two boys, but my daughter will be 12 in December and I'd like to give her a tool box in a more interesting colour!! Like pale blue, or pink ...anything but the old red stand by!

I just purchased your pink toolbelt. I have been looking for a great toolbelt and am thrilled to have found such a great one that is also pink. I am looking forward to using it on my next job. No more need to ask my assistant to stand around at the bottom of the ladder to hand me the tools I need! Great products.

I'm a CAWIC member AND a member of Company of Women . Both organizations have sent me info on your company/product this week.
I've just breezed through your website..it's FANTASTIC! You're amazing!
I myself will be buying one of your tool belts.

Congratulations! It's about time!
I remember my first pair of work boots were a men's size 6. Back then, "Ladies" work boots didn't exist.
I've already ordered my blue and pink work boots. I would like to get matching hardhats!
All the best

First, I would like to thank you for your wonderful products made specifically for women. I read the feature in the Toronto Star on your pink boots, and immediately went home and purchased a pair online! You have been such a success and it was about time someone designed something like your did! Congratulations and I hope that this year only brings in more business and more success for you.
I know that the company must be incredibly busy now, with the launch of your line at Zellers, but I had an idea that would work well with your products and I think would sell to not only women, but men as well. Being a woman that needs to wear safety shoes in the workplace, I know first hand that I would purchase this product if only someone sold it. Now the reason I am writing to you is that I know you are a local woman who has come up with an idea and made it explode into something that you would have never imagined. I wouldn't even know where to start with this idea, so I was hoping you could help me. If you have the time, please write me back as I would love to hear from you!
Thank you again for all that you have done!

I think your products are awesome! I work in construction and sometimes find it hard to look sexy in browns and blacks. I work hard and I play hard and would love to look like a girl while doing so and also the guys would love it!!
Thanx for putting out such a great product!

Marissa;
I am a licensed master electrician who has been struggling with the same work wear issues for the better part of my 19 years in the electrical trade, especially since Carhartt dropped their women’s line due to poor sales compared to the men’s line (no kidding, lol). I was quite intrigued to find your line of gear promoted in Canadian Living magazine and thought, finally, a women’s line of work wear designed by women for women. I have had problems finding work boots that are as well built as men’s, with all the same features, only in women’s sizes (or at least smaller - men’s size 5).
Thank you for recognizing and trying to fill a gap that has been an issue for years. I will watch your website and look forward to someday having rugged, but pink and pretty, safety gear to wear in my trade. Just keep in mind that safety should always be the number one priority.

We were listening to the Bill Carroll show (on CFRB 1010 AM), and he was talking about a pink toolbelt and hardhat that he had in the control room.
He mentioned that it was available at Home Depot. It got quite a bit of chatter and interest among the people on air. When Elizabeth Manley (the silver medallist from Calgary Olympic fame) arrived for her
interview she showed it such interest that they gave it to her to take home. She was thrilled.
If Marissa didn't make an appearance at CFRB before we tuned in, she certainly got TONS of great promotion regardless.

Hi there, I love your product. I have the pink work boots. I don't do construction or anything but i do manage a 25 head facility for horses. I work with and train horses daily. I have always loved the colour pink but yeah try to find anything suitable for a barn in pink. Anyways thank you so much for coming out with this boot, i can go from working around the barn to in the saddle without changing my shoes, and my toes are protected from being crushed. Wonderful idea, now i can still get dirty but feel like a girl all at the same time.
