  • Micki B.

    I would like to recognize how wonderful this shoe store is! I wasn't able too wear a certain brand of sneakers. When I went in to seek more help in selecting a right fit for myself,  I was so happy that Joben was very patient and took the time to find the perfect fit for me. I know where I will go to get new shoes!

  • Charles F.

    Great local shoe store, with the most friendly, knowledgeable, and helpful staff.  And, they periodically offer great sales — we have sought shoes and socks here for several years and are happy to be on their email list.

    Was coming through town as an AT hiker. Had no way of getting to the store to replace my 700-mile Altras. Called and they had the exact size and even color I wanted. The owner himself drove them to me, in town, after closing. Really cool guy and saved me a bunch of hassle.
