All About Shoes
Welcome to the SHOES-n-FEET community!
Welcome to the SHOES-n-FEET® community! We passionately believe that your feet don’t have to hurt, and we are eager to share what we know about shoes and feet with you. In this section, you’ll soon be able to submit questions to Ask the Shoe Fitter and discuss shoes and feet in The Foot Forum. We will also be posting information specifically for medical professionals. In the meantime, we’re proud to share what our customers have said about us in on our Testimonials page, and we will keep you posted on Events at SHOES-n-FEET—we’d love to have you join us for one soon!
Visit a Professional for Measure Your Feet Day
Last year, we published a blog post titled “Why Don't We Sell Our Shoes Online?” which explained the SHOES-n-FEET philosophy of bridging the gap between customer service-oriented retail, foot health education and the medical community.
Our highly certified shoe fitters provide a full-service professional fitting experience, including gait evaluation, pressure identification, and shoe selection and customization. One of the first steps to a perfect fit (and happy feet) is getting a correct measurement of the foot. In honor of today’s annual Measure Your Feet Day, we’d like to stress the importance of having your foot measured by a professional.

What I Love to Do in Winter: Ice-Climbing!
For Jason, the owner of SHOES-n-FEET Shoreline, winter isn't about staying indoors (although he is an avid follower of the Power 90 Extreme (P90X) home exercise system). This adventurer yearns for the freedom of the snowy mountains and the fresh open air, no matter how low the temperature gets. Luckily, Washington State offers plenty of opportunities for his favorite winter activity: ice-climbing. Here, he shares with us his recent trek up the Snoqualmie pass, culminating in this absolutely breathtaking photo from the peak. Thanks, Jason - and keep the beautiful pictures coming!
American Diabetes Month: Are Rocker Soles the Perfect Fit For Diabetic Feet?
Diabetes is a disease that can affect the whole body, including your feet. A leading cause of lower-limb amputation, diabetes can cause painful and dangerous ulcers, peripheral neuropathy and Charcot foot. The American Podiatric Medical Association takes great care to encourage diabetics to stay on top of their foot health, with an awareness campaign that goes into overdrive during November’s American Diabetes Month.
Help! My slip-on boots have me slipping all over.
Shoes for Black Friday Shopping
We’re only a couple of days from Thanksgiving, meaning turkey, stuffing, football, family… and Black Friday! We know that many of you start your holiday shopping right after your Thanksgiving feast (and by right after, we mean literally right after).

Well, we at SHOES-n-FEET want to make sure your footwear matches your passion for sales so that you can do your buying in comfort.
