Come try them on and see how they feel.

Shoe of the Week

If you have ever stepped into a Born shoe, you understand the comfort and beauty of their product.

Rich, supple Italian leathers, cushioned footbed, mid foot support built into the outsole, and hand stitched outsoles make these some of the best made shoes on the market. 

Aside from all that great construction they are also amazing at style. 

This season moccasins are back with cute new styles.

And don't forget to stop by Thurs evening for Single's Night

 ~ single pairs of shoes on sale from 50-75% OFF ~ 

Starts at 6pm

See you there!

We made it!

Oh what a day!

The day started with Jerrie admitting she packed numerous colored pens.  For what, I am not sure.  It posed a bit of concern over my choice in travel companion.  I'm afraid she may not be cut out for such rigorous work.  We don't have time for color coordinating.  Sheesh!

Our first stop along the way was Everett.

We met up with the Merrell rep and looked at what Merrell was offering for Spring.  Oh the choices were endless.  Super cute Mary Janes, great flip flops, and a totally new selection of casual-but-could-be-dressy sandals.  (There should be a classification for such styles but since there isn't I had to make that one up.)    

Spring sandals

We had to remain calm, stay focused, and keep our choices narrow and well thought out.  We do have 15+ brands to look at this weekend.  Oh the fun has just begun.  Oops, this isn't fun remember.

Once we arrived in Portland I forced Jerrie to stop at the Container Store, Anthropologie, and PF Changs for dinner.  What could make a more perfect night than shopping and eating awesome food?  It was fantastic.

I may have gone slightly overboard at our final stop of the night...the Sweet Factory.  It made me giddy to see so many sour candies in one spot.  I LOVE sour candy.  I stocked up!

That's scary...Sorry!

Now I am off to bed so I can be ready for the big weekend ahead.  

Stay tuned...

Sun, oh beautiful sun

Fashion is a funny business.  Even the best of the best don't bat 100% all the time.  You cannot always predict exactly what people will buy, what they will want, and what they will need.

I think the weather has a lot to do with this.  And that is why today I am relieved to see some sun.  There is nothing more frustrating in the shoe biz then a store full of sandals and having to turn on the heat because it's cold and rainy outside.  That makes for a very difficult sale.  The expression "Spring is just around the corner" can really only go so far.  The reality is, Spring has been holding out on me ever since I dogged on the ground hog's prediction only to be fooled by my own optimism.  But not anymore.  Today I see sun and only sun.  I love Mr. Sun.

So for all of you who have come in, browsed, and then said, "I think I'll come back when we have some sun."  Today is your day.  We have sun.  Yes, it may be a bit cool still but I think we're do for a sunny stretch.

(The above styles available at Sole Obsession Footwear.)

Kid's and Spring

Kid's and spring are like peanut butter and jelly.  They just go together.
The thought of kids running through sprinklers, riding bikes, and playing at the park is comforting.  It makes me feel like all is right with the world.
At Sole Obsession our gear up for spring continues with a new shipment of kid's Hush Puppies.  These are so cute sometimes I wish I could open an entire store of kid's shoes.
