Brown’s Shoe Fit

Stopped into Brown’s on our way to Moab. The had great clearance shoes outside and the prices otherwise were decent.
There was a great selection of shoes for men and women, sandals, chacos, etc. And the guy in the shop was so nice. Very friendly and helpful, but didn’t hover or anything.

I have been here twice, and it is simply the best shoe store I know of anywhere. The salesman measures both feet, and I never knew I had two different size feet. The customer service is outstanding. I bought Birkenstocks two years ago here, and the salesman spent time explaining how to break them in, how to fit them properly, and how to maintain them. There aren’t any shoe stores like this anymore. A real gem, and a mandatory stop when I visit Grand Junction.

I went in, and got my feet measured. My feet are two different sizes — by a whole size. The salesman spent an hour with me assessing my needs and wants and didn’t try to «sell me» on a middle-​sized shoe (where one foot would be cramped and the other would swim) nor did he try to sell me «padding» for the larger shoe/​smaller foot. Instead, he gave me a ‘deal’ for buying two different sized shoes. More expensive? Maybe. My feet and my back don’t hurt, so the money is well spent.
I asked what would happen to the two odd shoes… Brown’s sends them to a place in Texas where the shoes are donated to a place that provides footwear for amputees who may only need one shoe.
I kept my business local, my feet are happy, and two amputees are happy. Win-​win-​win!
