Dear Boss,

In 2001 I got a call stating that Clogs-N-More had an opening for me (Shannon), well they did and they didn't. Was I interested?

At the time my ego was still fragile from the rather abrupt ending of my previous shoe store job. (That is all I will say about that.) I wasn't sure if I wanted to get back into the world of shoes. Feet, really?

But then I met you, boss, and all worries were gone.

In the beginning you would hang out with me for a few hours at the store downtown, back when you just had two stores open. I loved those times. We'd laugh, sell some clogs, have a great time. I couldn't believe I GOT PAID to have that much fun.

Then you started not coming around as much. I knew it was because you trusted me, but I was sad because it meant not getting to hang out as much.

When I started working in the office more and more, we got to hang more and more and I got to really know who you are. I used to tell people that you are kindness personified, and I still stand by that statement.

I saw this the other day:

Believe me when I say you are a great man, Ahmed.

Thank you, for everything.

Love,

Shannon

Dansko Professional in Raindrop Patent

With the end of 2011 rapidly approaching, you might want to start thinking about just which shoes you are going to wear out for your fun New Years Eve plans...

If you are anything like me, your toes don't like the heels so much anymore. When I try to wear anything other than my Danskos when I'm going to be on my feet for any amount of time, my feet REVOLT!

So, just in time for the fun, we got in the Dansko Professional in...

RAINDROP!

Perfect for Portland, no?

So, whatever you choose to do this holiday season, make sure to do it with happy mind, body...and feet. 

yet another Smartwool post

If you are anything like me, you have started your gift buying by now...lamenting the fact you failed yet again to start earlier throughout the year. Of course if you are like me, you have found a present you purchased two years ago with the intent of sending it to your sister, only to have been forgotten once it was put in the drawer...SCORE!

 

This year, we're seeing loads of Smartwool Socks flying off the racks. And now that the arctic cold is here, with good reason. Want to keep those tootsies warm this winter, or show a loved one you love them and get a couple of pairs for a stocking stuffer. The price may seem high, but the quality makes them 100% worth every single penny.

My personal favorite this season are the Arabica Stripe.  I'm a striped sock junkie and I love a good knee sock. These stay up even when I'm on the go all day long. Le sigh...

Another favorite among our customers are the Saturnsphere. Cushioned under the foot, these will have you walking all day long with ease.

And the guys aren't to be forgotten, either. The New Classic Rib is a favorite among the men who shop with us. Thinner, dress weight, but the merino wool will help keep your feet insulated.

Sadly, we don't sell our Smartwool socks online, but if you are in town, please pop into any of our regular retail locations, or our kids shop, to check out our selection!

20 years already?!?

20th Anniversary Clogs from Dansko

Happy Birthday Dansko!!

I can hardly believe it's already been 20 years since Mandy and Peter were off in Denmark looking for dressage horses to add to their stable and instead finding footwear that would develop a cult like following. The stapled clog sole has gone through some changes over the years, but the nail has been hit straight on the head. 

Bravo Dansko! Bravo.

Don't miss out on this limited edition 20th Anniversary Professional. We've got stock at all of the regular retail shops (obviously not the kids, nor the outlet) but once we are sold out of a size, we can NOT get more. So, this would be one of the instances of not wanting to snooze if you find yourself drawn to them, because I am going to guess we're going to sell out quickly. 

Brown marbled patent leather with inspirational words to keep you going through the day.  

Dare. Breathe. Embrace. Boldly.

what makes wool smart?

Thru October 30th, at our regular retail locations, we are running our annual Buy 3 Pairs of Smartwool Socks and Receive the 4th FREE (of equal or lesser value).

Who doesn't want to stock up now? Holidays are coming and socks make great gifts...trust us!

warm those piggies!

It's that time of year when the light starts fading earlier and earlier and our little piggies need to feel warmth and comfort around the house, instead of flip flops (if you're like me, you wear them as house shoes in the spring/summer). 

We're starting to get in our fabulous and fun slippers from Haflinger at most of our regular retail locations. Don't miss out on the cute!!  Still waiting on Smartwool slippers and the plain black, soft soled slippers from Haflinger. BUT if you want to warm your piggies WITH piggies (or kittens with yarn, puppies, or sheep) come in now and give someone a loving home. 


And of course we still have the Grizzlies from Haflinger, which are great indoor/outdoor slippers/shoes.
