Founders' Story

Sarah & Chris Rhoads, the creative duo behind We are the Rhoads, bring their ingenuity and moment-loving approach as lifestyle-fashion photographers into their next adventure with Commbi. Spotting a noticeable gap in the market for stylish, supportive footwear, that they themselves wanted to see they set out to innovate, creating shoes for those who believe personal style is all about feeling good.

At Commbi, we know that shoes should do more than just look good—they should make you feel amazing. Our journey began with a simple belief: stylish footwear shouldn't have to compromise on comfort or support. As fans of slides, mules, and clogs over athletic shoes, we wanted to fill this void with options that prioritize both style wellness and ultimate versatility.
Driven by our passion to blend approachable style with functionality, we teamed up with podiatrists to develop footbeds that enhance your wellbeing and designed a collection of approachable styles that we love. Our mantra, "The Feel Good Shoes," captures our core values: comfort, casual styles, versatility and above all, creativity and wellness.

Commbi shoes are more than just footwear; they're a testament to self-care and personal expression. Each pair is meticulously crafted to support your feet with innovative technology while reflecting your unique taste. Our innovative modular footbeds let you effortlessly customize the comfort profile and style of your shoes, transitioning seamlessly from day to night, casual to chic and throughout various seasons.
Empowering you to be creative, we have created a modular footwear model that can be mixed and matched across the collection that give you limitless combinations with your Commbi's. Every footbed works across all the Commbi silhouettes and styles instantly expanding your footwear collection. Beyond shoes, Commbi is about empowering you to feel your best every step of the way and be in the moment, wherever you are.
