Thanksgiving Thanks

There are so many things to be thankful for with Footprints. Of course as the owner of a shoe company I could sit and think of all of the pretty shoes, (they are great!!) and of course I and many of our customers enjoy wearing them. Those are wonderful moments to think of and quite pleasing; however the real joy in the company is from the amazing group of women that are part of the team. That is where the deepest joy arises. I have had the opportunity to get to know women that I may otherwise not have known and shared in their lives; genuine friendships have been developed and they have often touched my heart in ways that even they sometimes have not known. So this Thanksgiving that is what I find myself most grateful for with Footprints; are the lovely women I have met over the years!! Here is to many more women coming into each of our lives and touches us through our business of shoes.
Happy Thanksgiving to You ALL

My Aunt and the reason for flats

All of us have those people in our lives that we feel lucky to know. For me one of those people is my Aunt Marcie. The personality of this amazing woman is so vibrant and alive, really hard to put into words, at age eighty, (which is hard to believe) she is as fun loving, warm and animated as I have always remembered her to be.

Recently I took a short visit to see her and my cousins. As always it was a wonderful time. With my Aunt anything can be fun. One day my Aunt and cousins and I went grocery shopping, now you are wondering what does this have to do with shoes?? Here it is -- I of course was in my heels and my aunt and cousins wearing more logical shoes for the task at hand. So there we were at the end of our shopping trip walking down a ramp with my Aunt maneuvering the shopping cart and suddenly she starts running with the cart and sailing down that ramp!! In that moment as I watched this lovely woman playing and having so much fun with something so simple, I thought "that is a great reason to wear flats" This is coming from the high heel wearer of all time!! So to all of our flat wearing customers I understand now perfectly your choice of shoes!!

Shoes and Egg Nog Lattes

Hello Ladies;
OK, this was a day maker!! Normally my absolute favourite Starbucks drink the eggnog latte comes out the week of Thanksgiving, but I walked in to my Starbucks and I saw the Christmas cups. I thought I would ask if the eggnog had arrived. Well, Noah told me that it had and he made me the BEST eggnog latte. Did I ever enjoy every drop!! Now what does this have to do with shoes?? Well, the eggnog latte is my favourite drink, and then I thought what are my favourite shoes? When I wear them they make my day? Hmmm that is a tough one, I adore my 8009-18's, my Sophia's are a new precious addition, my Diva's are well worn...I think that I am going to have to get back to you on which shoes are my "eggnog latte" of shoes. But let me know which shoes are your favourites? Write in and let us know!!

Oprah's Shoe Intervention

Hello Ladies;
Did you see Oprah's show yesterday?? She did her first ever shoe intervention!! Many of the ladies had on shoes that simply could have been more attractive for them, and of course Oprah's guests changed that and clothed them in beautiful shoes!!

I kept smiling and thinking, they have not attended one of our shoe parties!! She had a section on the show about "what every woman needs" just like on our website!!

So if you recorded the show and haven't watched yet, do it!! It was well worth seeing. Footprints wants every woman to feel beautiful wearing shoes that are comfortable, pretty and just right for her!!
