The Future of Women's Footwear

For years, women have struggled with the “beauty is pain” challenge. Pashion Footwear is utilizing innovative technology and athletic materials to make the future of footwear not only beautiful, but also comfortable. The company has utility patents in the US, China, and EU, and has invented a novel removable sole support mechanism in women’s footwear that allows for heel-to-flat transformation.


Haley Pavone, founder of Pashion Footwear, is a patent holder and has raised over $4 million in venture fundingPavone also appeared on Season 12 of ABC’s Shark Tank and was recently added to the Forbes 30 Under 30 list. Pashion’s team also includes COO, Jessica Norman, who previously worked at Beach Riot as GM & COO, and had prior roles with big-name brands such as Ralph Lauren, Billabong, and ONE Distribution. Backing them is their heavy-hitting board of directors, made up of successful entrepreneur Forrest Lee Fleming & seasoned retail executive Gabriella Liotta, who has experience across such organizations as Ralph Lauren, Nike, Authentic Brands Group, and Major League Soccer.

The Problem & Our solution


Look Good AND Feel Good 

According to Pashion’s research, the women’s footwear market has not seen technical innovation for over 200 years, forcing consumers to pick between style and comfort. While heels are a staple in many closets, their well-known pain forces women to pack back-up shoes, end up barefoot, or suffer through for hours on end.  




Pashion Footwear created a new solution for the modern woman-on-the-go, a market they felt had long needed a fresh perspective – a footwear line utilizing innovative technical design and athletic materials to blend comfort, customization, and style. With heels that turn into flats, women can finally have style AND comfort – without compromise. 


Heeluxe Study Results


Two of Pashion's original shoe models were biomechanically tested by a 3rd party organization, Heeluxe, LLC, and some highlights from the results of the study include the following insights:


  • Pashion flats have better than average acceleration, indicating that they are "easier to walk in"
  • Pashion heels have better forefoot cushioning than a standard heel
  • Pashion flats have better than average cushioning in the forefront than a standard flat
  • In a blind test, participants ranked Pashion styles above normal heels & competitors in Overall Comfort & Heel Cushion

THE MARKET & OUR TRACTION


Expanding with Post-Covid Comfort 


We believe the need for comfort post-pandemic makes this a perfect time for Pashion Footwear. According to studies done by the Business of Fashion & McKinsey, women are more eager than ever to dress up again. In 2022, the sell-out rate of high heels increased 151% across mass retailers in the US and UK. But with women hesitant to let go of the comfort they’ve grown accustomed to after two years in sweatpants and slippers, combining comfort with style is more important than ever. 


Since its founding in October, 2016, Pashion Footwear has raised $4.2 million in pre-seed and seed funding. The company’s founder, Pavone, also appeared on Season 12 of ABC’s Shark Tank, and led Pashion to 450% sales growth in 2021, as well as 65% profitability growth in 2022 - all in spite of the pandemic & corresponding market headwinds.

After creating a removable sole support for women’s footwear, Pashion obtained issued utility patents for its technology in the US, China, and EU. The removable technology, called the “Stelo™,” allows the shoes to transform from heels to flats while maintaining the needed structure & stability in heel form. 


WHY INVEST


The Footwear Revolution 

Pashion Footwear’s shoes are not a one time purchase - they are fundamentally changing women’s behavior when wearing shoes, enabling women to instantly alleviate pain/inconvenience and easily customize their look to match any occasion. Because of this valuable function & versatility, women are replacing every other brand in their closet with Pashions. Currently, 25%-35% of Pashion’s monthly business is supported by existing customers as they build out their collections. 



Due to the nature of their shoe technology, Pashion is able to create nearly an infinite number of upsell accessories–from different style shoes, and varying heel styles/heights, to interchangeable ankle straps, clips, and additional accessory categories (with accessories posting industry-leading profit margins [according to Pashion’s research], ranging from 67%-90%). Thus, Pashion has a means to keep monetizing its happy clientele as it continues to offer more options for further customization and closet expansion.


The company aims to become a full shoe-shelf replacement solution in a woman's closet – encompassing everything from sandals to boots (both heeled and flat).

Currently, Pashion sells its shoes and accessories exclusively through its own website. In 2023, the company plans to pursue two new channels–traditional wholesale with big-box retail partners and an innovative bridal affiliate program. By partnering with brides, Pashion will reach entire guest lists of eligible customers, looking for what to wear to their upcoming events. This unique program taps into the ever-booming wedding industry, and is a great profitable marketing opportunity the company believes is not currently used by other companies.

What is a Convertible Note?

A convertible note offers you the right to receive Preferred Stock in Pashion Footwear. The amount of Preferred Stock you will receive in the future will be determined at the next equity round in which the Company raises at least $1,250,000.00 in a qualified equity financing. The highest conversion price per security is set based on a $20,000,000.00 Valuation Cap or if less, then you will receive a 20.00% discount on the price the new investors are paying. You also receive 1.00% interest per year added to your investment. When the maturity date is reached, if the note has not converted then you are entitled to receive Preferred Stock equal to your investment and interest back at a price per security determined by dividing the Valuation Cap by the aggregate number of outstanding equity securities of the Company as of immediately prior (on a fully diluted basis).

Pashion Hits $350K Milestone

Hey Pashion Footwear family - Thank you for helping us cross our 4th milestone of this raise! We are so excited to be welcoming our customers & community as part-owners in our footwear revolution. 

So far, we've raised over $350,000+ across 395+ investors. Thank you to everyone who has invested and to those who are actively sharing our offering with their friends, family, and colleagues. We are so honored to be welcoming you all into the footwear revolution. 

05.25.23

$800K In Waitlist Reservations

In Q2, Pashion has hit our stride - resonating with customers across social media, our bridal efforts, and grassroots referrals. This consistent organic-driven demand has exceeded our current inventory supply - with the brand capturing over 5,800 waitlist reservations. This amount of demand has an estimated value of ~$850K in sales

Pashion is bringing more inventory in for August delivery, and also re-planning our holiday line accordingly. We have launched pre-sales across key best sellers to convert some of this demand ahead of delivery. 

The excitement & momentum around our convertible heel movement is tangible. The world is ready for the future of footwear.


05.17.23

Pashion Launches 1st International Market: Canada

The Pashion team is thrilled to announce our first international market - launching optimized shipping into Canada! In spite of being previously unable to purchase, we have consistently seen 5%+ of web traffic coming from Canadian consumers. We are excited to finally be able to provide convertible heels to the women who want them!

Canadian customers can now pay $20 CAD ($14.95 USD) flat-rate shipping on orders up to $270 CAD ($200 USD), and enjoy free shipping on orders exceed $270 CAD. 

We look forward to welcoming our first batch of Canadian #Pashionistas to the convertible revolution!

05.15.23

Pashion posts 34% net PROFIT

Nothing is more satisfying as an entrepreneur than seeing your business model proven out. We've always theorized that at scale, Pashion Footwearwould perform as a "razor/razor blade" type financial model with our unique upsell accessory business. 

In April, we posted our 4th profitable month - recognizing a 36% EBITDA (industry standard is 10%)....and a whopping 34% net profit. 💸🚀

To achieve this kind of profit profile as a CPG brand, with abnormally significant R&D to support utility IP, after only 3.5 years on market is a major exception to the rule. One that I could not be more proud of.

This success is a huge testament to the scrappiness, resilience, creativity & passion (pun intended) of the Pashion team. We are small but mighty - achieving this goal with a team of 7 & $0 spent on marketing, leveraging the grassroots referral & visual nature of our product to generate organic buzz and sales.

I'd also like to thank my incredible BOD - Forrest Fleming & Gabriella Liotta - for their guidance as we've worked towards this milestone.

It's one thing to build a disruptive technology & brand. It's a whole other to make that venture profitable. Especially to the tune of 3x the category average.

Cheers to much, much more to come 🥂🎉

Pashion Hits $300K Milestone

Hey Pashion Footwear family - Thank you for helping us cross our third milestone of this raise! We are so excited to be welcoming our customers & community as part-owners in our footwear revolution. 

So far, we've raised over $300,000+ across 352 investors. Thank you to everyone who has invested and to those who are actively sharing our offering with their friends, family, and colleagues. We are so honored to be welcoming you all into the footwear revolution. 



05.01.23

Pashion Hits New Sales Record

Our team is celebrating BIG today! We are thrilled to share that April has posted record-breaking sales figures - generating $525K in net sales. This is the equivalent of doing our entire 2020 sales in one month. 

What we are most proud of is these results have been achieved 100% organically. Our paid marketing budget for April was: $0. This growth was achieved entirely from organic content, our bridal affiliate program, and grassroots referrals to the brand. 

April results are a true testament to the creativity, efficiency, & unmatched work ethic of the Pashion team - as well as the genuine need for our product in the marketplace and the grassroots community movement we are building around practicality in fashion (IE - the "Pashion" in Pashion Footwear). 


04.28.23

Pashion Pre-Orders Skyrocket Sales

After going viral on Tiktok & gaining rapid awareness through our bridal ambassador launch - we found ourselves moving through inventory much faster than projection. As April neared close, we had no size 10s or 11s remaining on the site - and were extremely low on several additional sizes x styles. We knew we were leaving money on the table...so, the natural solution was to open up pre-orders against our August shipment. 

Even with a 4 month wait - customers were clamoring to reserve their first pairs of Pashions. Our current net run rate for Pashion is $5.4M (averaging $15K/day). Yesterday, we saw a massive sales surge up to a $19.2M NRR ($52K in sales!) - with over 80% of the days' orders being pre-orders. 

Pre-orders allow us to capture demand that we would otherwise miss out on due to gaps in inventory. They also allow us to contribute those sales directly to funding the corresponding purchase order. Usually the biggest limitation on a product company's growth is the inventory they have on hand. Pre-orders allows us to circumvent that - instead selling the limitless promise of future shoes. This also greatly aids the common industry woe of cash-flow constraints when rapid growth of inventory is needed to support demand. 

Furthermore, pre-orders are amazing for the environment - as they help us better estimate demand and therefore cut back on wasteful over-ordering (or, growth-limiting under-ordering). 

The bulk of pre-orders placed were for our best-selling bridal styles, as well as our core sandals, gold stelo accessories, & black boots. 

It was incredible for our team to see the immediate demand surge, even with a 4 month wait time. Customers are eager to get their hands on convertible heels! We plan to use strategic pre-order events in the future to maintain growth without being limited by stock shortages. 


04.26.23

Von Maur Des Moines Success

Our team had a blast on April 22nd selling Pashion convertible heels in person at our Von Maur Des Moines trunk show!

We exceeded our sales goal, got to meet loyal Pashionistas in person, and sold several customers their first pair of convertible heels. 

With another retail test success under our belt, we look forward to continuing to pursue an omnichannel expansion strategy with select retail partners throughout 2023. 

Our favorite story from the trunk show was the opportunity to meet a customer who drove 6 hours from Wisconsin, even getting a hotel for the evening - all to try & buy Pashions. She walked away a happy customer with a new pair of Latte Sandals for her upcoming trip to Italy. What an incredible testimonial for the draw of our value! 

We hope that in the near future, Pashions will be available throughout the country in big box retailers - a major initiative that this crowdfund is supporting. 

Cheers to the future of women's footwear in omnichannel!

Haley, Thanks for taking the time to answer questions. The more I look into your company the more impressive it seems. Didn't see myself investing in high heel shoes, but here we are. 1. Patents. If I recall you have a utility patent for the US, EU and China. That leaves alot of countries left to secure. What is your plan for international IP expansion? 2. Curious where you are spending your time and focus with the company. I noticed you are pretty active on social media (tik tok) and this has led to a huge increase in sales and various metrics but must be time intensive? How do you see your personal engagement on social media (for the company) long term? Where are your next hires going to be focused? 3. One interesting aspect I noticed on social media is that you get alot of requests for personalized recommendations? Do you see providing personalized recommendations in some fashion (given all the combinations you have) becoming a staple of your company? For example, creating a starter kit/box (with a bunch of popular heel combos) or the business women kit (popular shoe/heel combos) for the professional, perhaps a gift box (popular shoe and heel combos a guy with zero knowledge could get for his other). Probably a few ways to take this. 4. Retail stores. I know you have the one trial ongoing with Von Maur. Can you comment on your early success here? Do you have any other placements with retail stores? Can you comment on your retail pipeline? What types of retail stores are you even targeting given your upper, mid-market branding? 5. Company survival. I suppose early on if your company was going to fail it was going to be from lack of funding esp with those early challenges (COVID, supply chain etc). If your company does not survive what do you believe would be the likely reason going forward? Can you comment on how your company would respond or be insulated from any future recession or supply chain issues? 6. Your recent updates on the bridal registry and tik tok success is quite remarkable, nice job! If these trends hold I will be quite happy to have been invested at the current 20M cap and will probably add to this. Any update on your Q1 results thus far? Are you surprised by the large success in bridal and social media response resulting in such a large increase in sales? To that end, how do you view your current valuation cap and how much you prefer to raise at this "valuation" level? Thanks and good luck!

Haley, Nice job on your early success! Can you walk me through your utility patent. Does this prevent other companies from designing any type of system that converts a flat to a high heel or are they free to design a different system provided its materially different than your design? Thanks

Haley, I was hoping you may be able to provide an update on a few topics: 1. Demand seems to be quite high for pashion and I see alot of activity to increase demand (bridal referral, social media, retail trials, optimize to Canada), however how are you solving the issue of ensuring you will have enough inventory to meet this hyper-demand (using cash flow, getting bigger inventory loans??). Would love to hear how you plan to use capital/debt to ensure anyone who wants pashions doesn't encounter a "sold out" icon? Any data on what % of customers go on to cancel their pre-order? 2. Can you provide an update on the bridal referral program? Momentum since March? How has sign-ups and potential revenue translated into actual revenue? What percent of brides/weddings that signed up (and had their wedding) never used your product. In those that did use your product what percent of the wedding/bridal party did you capture? 3. April was a big month, nice job! Curious what the revenue for April would have been if you backed out the pre-order portion (I assume this is mostly a one-off purchase for pent-up demand??). To that end, has the revenue in May tracked April or dropped off a bit? 4. Profitability. Given your 2023 revenue success, would you expect you can reach profitability this year? 5. Retail update. Whats next given your two successful trial runs? ETA when you will physically be on shelves? Do you even have the inventory bandwith to expand to this channel? 6. Current raise. As you continue to generate positive free cash flow and revenue accelerates, how much do you want to raise at a 20M valuation cap? What's the thinking here (create brand ambassadors and customers from investment base?). You have mentioned future raises and what would the goal of these be, especially if (I assume) you already generating free cash? Would these raises be with crowdfunding (so investors like myself can re-invest) or more traditional venture capital? 7. Customer engagement. Any update on the life-time value of your customer? Is this increasing? Any plans to cross-sell non-shoe items to capitalize on what seems to be an enthusiastic customer base (branded shirts, tees, hats etc) Nice job! David

Hello, very excited to see where this company goes. My only concern is that I see the funds for current investors wont be vested until the raised goal is met. This ranges from 15k to 1.2M and we are currently at 307K. Why is there such a great difference in the goal to be raised and when do we expect the current round to close to have funds fully invested?

Haley this seems like a really great concept. I can't believe the Sharks on Shark Tank didn't realize how great of a company this is. I bet they'll be looking back and wondering why they didn't get in on this lol.

In a previous comment, you addressed that all tier perks will be circulated once the campaign closes. When does the campaign close?

Haley, Are you able to provide any details on Q1 2023? I have started tracking your tik tok accounts (both yours and pashion footwears) in terms of followers and likes and noticed your personal account seems to be growing much, much faster. How much of this extra growth is non-pashion follower growth (friends, family etc)? Why do you suppose your personal account is growing dramatically faster than the companies? Lessons learned to improve the companies social media page? Any data on sales conversion rates/trends since 4/5? Timeline on rightsizing inventory, new sizes, optimizing international shipping (which were very common barriers to purchase on social media)? Again, nice job....def good problems to have. David

From a google search, I found this company called Vice Versa which seems to be offering a product very similar to yours, (and it seems they're also claiming they have a patent) ---- can you briefly explain the differences between Pashion and Vice Versa?

Question related to TIER 4– So I understand we are added to an exclusive community where we can have a say in designs. Also, I would love to know more info about “fit-testers.” What are the chances TIER 4 individuals earn back through commission codes, providing UGC, or accomplishing brand ambassador responsibilities?

HOW INVESTING WORKS

Cancel anytime before 48 hours before a rolling close or the offering end date.

WHY STARTENGINE?

REWARDS

SECURE

Your info is your info. We take pride in keeping it that way!

DIVERSE INVESTMENTS

Invest in over 200 start-ups and collectibles!

With Regulation A+, a non-accredited investor can only invest a maximum of 10% of their annual income or 10% of their net worth per year, whichever is greater. There are no restrictions for accredited investors.

With Regulation Crowdfunding, non-accredited investors with an annual income or net worth less than $124,000, are limited to invest a maximum of 5% of the greater of those two amounts. For those with an annual income and net worth greater than $124,000, he/she is limited to investing 10% of the greater of the two amounts.

At the close of an offering, all investors whose funds have “cleared” by this time will be included in the disbursement. At this time, each investor will receive an email from StartEngine with their Countersigned Subscription Agreement, which will serve as their proof of purchase moving forward.

Please keep in mind that a company can conduct a series of “closes” or withdrawals of funds throughout the duration of the campaign. If you are included in that withdrawal period, you will be emailed your countersigned subscription agreement and proof of purchase immediately following that withdrawal.

StartEngine assists companies in raising capital, and once the offering is closed, we are no longer involved with whether the company chooses to list shares on a secondary market, or what occurs thereafter. Therefore, StartEngine has no control or insight into your investment after the close of the live offering. In addition, we are not permitted to provide financial advice. You may want to contact a financial professional to discuss possible investment outcomes.

For Regulation Crowdfunding, investors are able to cancel their investment at any point throughout the campaign up until 48 hours before the closing of the offering. Note: If the company does a rolling close, they will post an update to their current investors, giving them the opportunity to cancel during this timeframe. If you do not cancel within this 5-day timeframe, your funds will be invested in the company, and you will no longer be able to cancel the investment. If your funds show as ‘Invested’ on your account dashboard, your investment can no longer be canceled.

For Regulation A+, StartEngine allows for a four-hour cancelation period. Once the four-hour window has passed, it is up to each company to set their own cancelation policy. You may find the company’s cancelation policy in the company’s offering circular.

Once your investment is canceled, there is a 10-day clearing period (from the date your investment was submitted). After your funds have cleared the bank, you will receive your refund within 10 business days.

Refunds that are made through ACH payments can take up to 10 business days to clear. Unfortunately, we are at the mercy of the bank, but we will do everything we can to get you your refund as soon as possible. However, every investment needs to go through the clearing process in order to get sent back to the account associated with the investment.

Both Title III (Regulation Crowdfunding) and Title IV (Reg A+) help entrepreneurs crowdfund capital investments from unaccredited and accredited investors. The differences between these regulations are related to the investor limitations, the differing amounts of money companies are permitted to raise, and differing disclosure and filing requirements.
