Our Story

The Founder's Story: From Hardship to Hope!

Like many immigrants, Uju’s journey to the U.S. was one of survival. She arrived with her two-month-old son, escaping danger, with no resources, and no clear path forward. At her lowest, battling postpartum depression, she had nothing—except a dream.

One foggy morning in 2011, Uju had a literal dream about shoes with removable soles—a vision so clear it became her path forward. That dream led to Ozznek Shoes—not just a business, but a symbol of resilience, reinvention, and the power to rise.

Today, Ozznek Shoes stands as proof that even in the face of hardship, we can rebuild, we can rise, and we can create something greater than ourselves.
