Zorpads Shark Tank Update

Zorpads Shark Tank Pitch

Taylor Wiegele and Sierra Smith appeared on Shark Tank Season 10, Episode 13, which aired on January 26, 2019, with activated carbon odor absorbing shoe inserts.

Zorpads is listed in the Health SelfCare category. In plain terms, the business is described as activated carbon odor absorbing shoe inserts.

Zorpads asked the Sharks for $150,000 for 8%, implying a valuation of about $1.9 million.

On the show, Zorpads made a listed deal with Lori Greiner for $150,000 for 22.5%.

If treated as straight equity, the listed deal works out to about $666,666.667 implied valuation, down from the original $1.9 million implied valuation.

This pitch is included as context for the more important question: what happened after Shark Tank.

Zorpads After Shark Tank

Zorpads accepted Lori Greiner and Charles Barkley's on-air offer, but the post-show investment trail is mixed. Shark Tank Blog later indicated Lori likely stepped away while Charles may have remained involved, so the more useful update is the operating history rather than a clean yes-or-no Shark outcome.

The brand had recurring inventory and supply-chain bumps after the show, including backorder notes in 2021 and 2023. By October 2023, follow-up reporting said Zorpads was back in stock and had reached about $4 million in lifetime revenue. (Zorpads follow-up reporting

The current site keeps the NASA-tested odor-control positioning and directs online shoppers toward Amazon because the brand store banner says online inventory is sold out. That points to an active but inventory-constrained product business, not a fully disappeared one. (Zorpads official site
