Welcome back to part two of our deep dive into the unexplained disappearance of 32-year-old David Langley. In last week's episode, we uncovered the strange circumstances surrounding Langley’s vanishing. A reserved groundskeeper at Mt.

Now, we continue the story. What happened to David Langley? Did he leave on his own, or was something more sinister at play? Join us as we dig deeper into the mystery, uncover new details, and explore possible theories behind his disappearance.

Zero Drop has come to the PNW! The Strider is our first-ever boot built on a true Zero Drop last. The Thurman-ZD last provides an anatomical foot shape with the more tactile feel of the zero drop allowing for more stability on the ground. Available with our new sole offerings: Vibram Honey Unit Lug, Voyageur Outsole, and the Kletterlift Outsole. Each of these work perfectly with the zero drop last providing slip resistance, traction, and comfort throughout the day.
