Our Story

Sole Sister Ramblers is a women-owned, mission-driven business founded by five BFFs in their late fifties. Our mission is to connect and empower women in midlife and beyond one Ramble at a time. Everywhere is in Rambling distance with Sole Sisters.

Sole Sister Ramblers started when five long-time friends (all Canadians) found ourselves scattered across the globe—living in places like Singapore, Canada, the USA, Spain, and Panama—and decided to stay connected through virtual walking challenges.

We created a chat group to log our kilometers, share photos of our walks, and talk about the joys and challenges of being women in midlife and beyond. We nicknamed our walks Rambles and named our group the Sole Sister Ramblers.

Our daily chats brought surprising depth to our friendships and lives in unexpected ways. So, we decided to share our little group with the world and officially launched Sole Sister Ramblers in 2021 with a bright, colorful shoe logo.

We grew rapidly, and today, we’re a global community where tens of thousands of women from many different countries who connect, Ramble, and inspire each other to live more active, joy-filled lives. We have much in common and discuss many things, but Rambling is what brings us together.

For us, Rambling is about more than just physical activity. It’s a mindset, an invitation to play, and a form of exercise rolled into one. It means moving our bodies in ways that bring us joy—whether that’s a walk or another activity. We believe Rambling inspires interesting ideas, occasional epiphanies, or provides a mental reset from the day’s burdens.

Sometimes, Rambling is about wandering or exploring. Other times it’s a way to practice mindfulness or dive into creative investigation. Rambling encourages us to truly experience our surroundings, and discover new connections in familiar places.

The women in this community Ramble in many different ways. Some walk, snowshoe, row, ski, hike, swim, cycle, sail, play tennis or pickleball, practice yoga, or paddle canoes. Others enjoy craft workshops, farmer’s markets, concerts, and community events. We explore the world and our own backyards.

Rambling teaches us that we don’t have to be athletes to enjoy being active, and yet we still reap all the benefits of living a vibrant, healthy life.

This is why our motto is  . . . everywhere is in Rambling distance with Sole Sisters!

Happy Rambling!
