It was my first attempt at it, and while it was fun, it was tiring.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Carlson\u2019s video shows Salewa shoes moving in unison into the store. He said the process took him about six hours \u2014 five hours of taking each individual photo and another hour to put the video together.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Mountain Outfitters won the contest. The prize was 10 pairs of shoes, which the shop decided to give to local grocery store workers and postal workers to thank them for their service during the COVID-19 pandemic.<\/p>\n<div class=\"row\">\n<div class=\"col\" readability=\"6\">\n<div class=\"row sd-donation sd-donation-mobile p-0\" readability=\"7\">\n<div class=\"col-xl-4 p-2\">\n<div data-bg=\"url(https:\/\/cdn.summitdaily.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2020\/03\/SDN-logo-white-1.png)\" class=\"p-0 mt-2 mb-2 h-75 text-center rocket-lazyload\">\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.summitdaily.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2020\/03\/SDN-logo-white-1.png\" class=\"logo m-0 p-0 invisible\"><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><h3 class=\"d-inline mr-3\">Support Local Journalism<\/h3>\n<p><button class=\"btn d-inline\" type=\"button\" onclick=\"handleDonationButtonClickMidArticle()\">Donate<\/button><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>\u201cWe talked about it as a shop and what we would want to do with them, and it was sort of between health care workers and this,\u201d Carlson said. \u201cObviously, they\u2019re both pretty essential right now, but we felt like the grocery store workers and the postal shop workers get overlooked.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Carlson said shoes felt appropriate because these workers are on their feet all day and the job is stressful, especially during the pandemic. He asked via social media for community members to name particularly outstanding employees at local stores. Carlson handed out 10 notes thanking the employees and giving instructions for picking out a pair of Salewa shoes.<\/p>\n<p>Carlson said reactions have been mixed.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cMostly just surprised, some tears, one of the reactions was very skeptical \u2026 but mostly just grateful,\u201d Carlson said about the employees who were chosen.<\/p>\n<p>Zach Ryan, who works in the prepared foods department of Whole Foods, was given shoes. Ryan called the act a \u201cgreat show of appreciation.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cRather than trying to raffle them off or do other types of contests, the fact that that was Jeff\u2019s first thought was to distribute them to essential workers is so cool,\u201d Ryan said. \u201cWe\u2019re on our feet eight hours a day \u2026 so having a nice pair of shoes that really provide good support is crucial.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Carlson plans to order the footwear next week and then will deliver the shoes.<\/p>\n<p> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.summitdaily.com\/news\/mountain-outfitters-donates-shoes-to-essential-workers\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">via:: Summit Daily<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>If @salewa shoes can do this on their own, just imagine what they could do on your feet! \u2022 We\u2019ve got all new Salewa Footwear coming this week! \u2022So to celebrate and play #puremountainquarantine , we decided to let a few pairs out of their boxes for some fresh air and we couldn\u2019t believe what [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[99],"tags":[],"class_list":{"0":"post-807435","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","6":"category-local-news"},"acf":[],"publishpress_future_action":{"enabled":false,"date":"2026-07-11 02:36:02","action":"change-status","newStatus":"draft","terms":[],"taxonomy":"category","extraData":[]},"publishpress_future_workflow_manual_trigger":{"enabledWorkflows":[]},"distributor_meta":false,"distributor_terms":false,"distributor_media":false,"distributor_original_site_name":"KSMT The Mountain","distributor_original_site_url":"https:\/\/alwaysmountaintime.com\/ksmt","push-errors":false,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/alwaysmountaintime.com\/ksmt\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/807435","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/alwaysmountaintime.com\/ksmt\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/alwaysmountaintime.com\/ksmt\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/alwaysmountaintime.com\/ksmt\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/alwaysmountaintime.com\/ksmt\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=807435"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/alwaysmountaintime.com\/ksmt\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/807435\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/alwaysmountaintime.com\/ksmt\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=807435"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/alwaysmountaintime.com\/ksmt\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=807435"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/alwaysmountaintime.com\/ksmt\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=807435"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
