When most people think custom footwear they think they are going to be changing the color of the materials but with ISlide we have 10-12 slide colors that are your canvas for creation. Which means you can put your nickname or an emoji on the sides of the slides to complement the top design. We also have the option to customize the sides of the straps. You can upload a picture of your dog or an embarrassing picture of your best friend and we will print it on the straps of your slides. We are the only slide company in the world that allows you to customize the way we do. Tell us about ISlide – what should we know? We have a very special culture that we want to preserve when we onboard new employees.Īlright – so let’s talk business. We never want to hire too quickly or hire the wrong people. While being a great problem to have, ISlide has a small, close-knit team that needs to function like a well-oiled machine. Once our popularity spiked, we had to scale even more to keep up with demand. We had to start from phase one with our own product and our own printing process. Since we are the only company in the world doing what we do, there was no framework for success. Outside of the long hours and challenging work, we had to figure out how to run the company and how to make it scalable. With most startups, things are never really ‘easy’. Overall, has it been relatively smooth? If not, what were some of the struggles along the way? Throughout this time we signed on with the NBA, partnered with DJ Khaled, aired on Shark Tank with Antonio Brown, and moved our office to Hyde Park. ![]() I went on to manager Customer Service, Order Processing, A/R and pieces of Operations for the next 3 years. I felt the passion and learned the drive and I was ready to dive in. I wanted to be a part of this company so badly that I was ready to do anything to make that happen. With no prior experience in that department, I wondered why they wanted me but I accepted without question. Once I graduated in May of 2015 Justin and the team offered me a full-time position working in operations. And that is the mentality ISlide instills in you… it’s not just about completing your daily tasks within your role but making sure the company is continuing to grow and get better every day. The Mill was our home… we spent so many hours there making sure our work was getting done because we knew if it wasn’t, we were never going to succeed. We were then located in an old mill building in Norwood. With that being said you could say we were at the start of our start-up phase. At the time there were only 6 full-time employees and a group of about 8 interns. ![]() I started at ISlide as a Marketing Intern during my senior year at Bridgewater State in December of 2014. Today we’d like to introduce you to Tori Wood. ![]()
