Will give deals for Raspberries...

I love the Lynden Raspberry Festival. As soon as summer starts I eagerly anticipate the July festivities. This year is even more exciting because I get to be a part of the festival. Sole Obsession Footwear has a booth downtown where you can catch a glimpse of our merchandise, buy some flip flops, donate shoes to Soles for Souls, and much more.
Our store will be open all day too offering great summer DEALS. All day Friday and Saturday you can take $10 off any in-store shoe purchase. That means even off of clearance items. Now thats a DEAL!
So come by our booth and the store and see what we have going on.

New Fall Arrivals

Heels have always been a mystery to me. I don't wear them well and always want them off my feet in about an hour. That is until I came across Sofft brand. If you have them...you know what I mean. If you've never heard of them you need to come by the store and try these on. A heel with comfort built in. Here's a sneak peak of what is in for fall. More to come.

Am I obsessed?

I went away on a vacation, sort of.  I have been in Oregon since last Wednesday.  I had Cassi and Tami man the store and I spent some good quality time with my immediate and extended family.  It was great to get away…except I thought of work most of the time.  What’s with that?  Every time we went out in public I took a mental inventory of what shoes people were wearing.  I would strain to look around objects and people just to get glimpses of ‘cute’ shoes.  Its a bit sad.  I think I really am obsessed.  Sometimes I wonder what people might think of me.  Maybe I even make them uncomfortable with all this strange staring and scoping.  Oh well, its the life of a shoe store owner, I guess.  So if you catch me staring, straining, or doing other weird things to catch of glimpse of your shoes.  Take it as a compliment.  I must really like them.

Did I mention summer sales?

Summer Sales Starting

Superfeet Training

Selling shoes is really not as easy as it sounds. There are so many different kinds of feet and so many different foot needs. Sometimes in can be downright overwhelming. To help us learn how to do our jobs better we had a Superfeet Training In-Service Monday evening. Cassi, Tami, and I drank ice tea while our delightful Superfeet Rep. went over all of the bio mechanics of the foot and how proper footwear and of course, Superfeet insoles, can aid in aligning the body correctly. All of these work to relieve pressure from the heel, knees, hips, and lower back. It was reminiscent of high school biology except this time I didn't have to force myself to pay attention. This was interesting stuff. We learned the ins and outs of the foot, proper measuring techniques to determine foot stability, fitting the Superfeet insole like a pro, and so much more. We will continue to have these trainings periodically to better our knowledge and skills at effectively fitting you into the best shoe for your foot.
So folks, we truly are you foot fitting specialists. Come by so we can try out our new lingo and knowledge.
