Is Feelmax still in business?

I'm really interested to try a pair of Osma's but I read that the factory in Thailand making Feelmax had a fire, then didn't produce any shoes for Feelmax last year? Their website doesn't seem to be have updated in a long time.

Anybody have any inside information on whether we will ever be able to get a pair of these?

They are still in business but had some production issues this past year. They are beginning production again and will have something available this spring/summer I believe.

Hello!!! YES, we are still here and not going away!!! We had some major issues in the past 12 month with logistic, factory and as well with the restructuring of the company, but it looks like we made it!! I am currently working on new designs / development will start soon and also the production planing has been set. We are looking for an ex-factory around end of April, but for sure I try to get it out before that. For the first production order we will make OSMA (new color), PANKA and NIESA.

Hello; thank you for all your posetive posting! However, the good news is not so good right now and I feel I need to share it with you all! I have posted, that we will have production ready for shipping end of April, but at this moment it does not look like we will be able to make this date. Production has not started as of this moment because of our changes in the Finish HQ - as a result the ordering process has been delayed! Also the othere most importand issue - finacialy - has not been resolved and as a result of this L/C's have not been approved as I understand. Factory is in place - people are ready - waiting for HQ to get there game plan together - not easy at this moment for all of us here!!

I will keep you all informed what is going on in the next weeks!

Hope we can have a solution for all out problems soon!!

Best regards

So glad to have found this website,I finally have some answers as to why it has been difficult to find the Feelmax Osma. Thanks for the update. I was getting ready to go out and purchase a different pair of minimalist shoes but now I will wait until the next shipment of Osma's goes out. I truly hope they come out before summer .

Hello; the latest news I can give you is, that FEELMAX will be taken over from a group of investors next month - May 3rd is the big day!!! After that we need to build up the team in Finland, but our team here in Thailand will be staying the same - so no change in product development / sourcing and QA! Production will start as soon as all is in place, the new owners are pushing for it very bad, but knowing that some adjustment need to be done for it. Also a new company name will be announced soon, but the FEELMAX name on the product will stay!!!

As I know, we have no one in NZ or Australia that is handling our product down under.

When we start production I will let you guys know for sure!!! Thank you for all your support!!!

YES, we made it!!!!

Best regards

Good to hear from you Thomas,

We have been waiting that news here in Norway long time!!! I hope everything matches as soon as possible - and Feelmax comes back stronger than before with excellent quality of shoes!

Hello!! Yes, I am also one of them that is waiting for a long time off good news and now it is sooo close that I can reach it!!!

For sure FEELMAZ will come stronger, but it will be needed some time to get production back on track and also bring the product to our costumers. I do feel, that FEELMAX will not come out with any new product for this year, but for sure 2012. working on it already for SS12 new development.

The foundation is sound and now let's build on it!!

Regards

Thanks Mark

Please give us a little more time for it!!! We run on a 90 day production cycle and have not started as off this moment - so it will take some month for us to have shoes ready to be shipped out, but I will keep you all informed.

Regards
