<![CDATA[OTMCast]]>OTMCast is the voice of Off Trail Market, where we sit down with the makers, guides, and small outdoor brands shaping the gear and experiences we love. Each episode dives into the stories behind the products, the challenges of building something from scratch, and the adventures that spark new ideas.

This is a place for real conversations with real people who care about getting outside. Whether it's a bootstrapped gear maker, a backcountry guide, or someone carving out their own path in the outdoor world, we bring their journey to the foreground.

OTMCast is part storytelling, part gear talk, and part behind-the-scenes look at what it takes to grow a business in this space. If you love the outdoors, the people who build for it, and the stories that push us forward, you’ll feel at home here.

In this episode of OTMCast, we sit down with Ryan Erickson of Amento Footwear to talk about how every Amento shoe gets designed entirely by hand. No CAD, no templates, no shortcuts, just a sketchbook and a belief that the best gear is drawn long before it's ever built.

Ryan takes us through the whole journey, from that first rough line on paper to a finished performance sandal you can lace up and take down the trail. We dig into the why behind hand-drawn design, what it brings to the final product, and what it looks like for a small outdoor brand to do things the slow, deliberate way in a world full of mass-produced everything.

If you care about how the gear you wear actually gets made, this one's for you.

Amento sandals are available on Off Trail Market. Find the full story and shop the line at [your link here].
