That sign says it all for me. I know, it’s a little mundane but it is a cloudy day and shoes; my post today. They seem to be on my mind lately. But, I am not kidding you, I think the Delaware Beaches has shoes galore for all types, whether there are outlets or just your regular retail stores.
It must be because shoes are so easy to buy. It does not matter if you have gained weight or not. Is it impulse buying? Or, just something to brighten your day. I get it! Retail therapy with instant gratification. That’s it!!
In2Soles has been at this location for, I think, 2 years now. They are year-round. The location is 170 Rehoboth Ave., Rehoboth Beach, DE 19971. Tel. 302-226-5202. Website? www.in2soles.com. To better get a feel for the store you should stop by because they do have very unique brands. Plus you get to meet their mascot.
At this time of the year, just like a lot of other store there are sales. You will find 40% off on selected shoes.
Besides shoes, which is what the store is known for they have accessories like handbags.
A line called Sox Trot of painted knee-highs; solids, prints and stripes. Perfect to wear with boots. Great designs.
An assortment of flip flops.
In2Soles is very well stocked. You will find clogs; Dansko’s new summer designs.
Sandals by B.Z. Moda
Slig Back Espadrilles by Eric Michaels. These ones were in the store last year. The neutral is a new color.
A brand called Camper which is very into recycling. In business for many years. This particular shoe had a huarache look and feel. If you want to learn more about them visit www.camper.com.
There were shoes for more dressy occasions and some had a more conversative look.
Then the more sporty and walking shoes were all around.
Platforms; they are still in.
This particular shoe was very stable and comfortable.
And so were these.
I have to mention the customer that was trying a pair of very cute sandals, and who graciously let met take her picture. They looked so cute on her; she had a very petite foot.
I feel like I just have gone shopping. Anyway, if the shoe fits……
Have a very nice day…talk to you later…..

“Saving the world one foot at a time.”
The foot contains more bones than any other single part of the body; it is also very vulnerable.
The oldest leather shoe was found in 2008 in Armenia. It is 5,500 years old.
If The Shoe Fits, yes it brings back memories. I wrote a paper all about shoes in college. I have always liked shoes. I don’t know if it is the instant gratification of trying them on or just the fact that it does not matter if you are fat, skinny, poor or rich; you can always find a pair that will suit you fine.
I stopped at Just Comfort Shoes the other day to see if they carried a brand of shoes that I found in Boulder, Colorado a few months ago. Jambu is the name of this brand. This brand of shoes outsoles are made with partially recyclable and reusable rubber. They are comfortable, and stylish; not too rugged and not too dressy. The one I bought was a clog, but they also make other styles, as well. They do carry this brand at the store, so if you have tried them and liked them now you know where to go.
Just Comfort Shoes has 2 locations in Rehoboth: 237 Rehoboth Ave., tel. 302-227-2520, and 18756 Coastal Highway (shopping center where Starbucks is located), tel. 302-645-6590. You will also find them at The Avenue at White Marsh in Baltimore, Maryland, tel. 410-931-4296.
The owner of the store is Sharon Lee. The website is www.justcomfortshoes.com and they are also on Facebook.
Having said all this I want let you know that I have to be honest with you. In college I wore clogs and I loved them. I also wore the highest platforms of the time. I guess I am dating myself. I loved both styles. I am not sure when I saw the first Dansko clogs and Birkenstocks but my thoughts were that there was no way I was wearing them. I thought they looked good on someone else’s foot; not mine. Too big, too wide, too earthy, maybe?
Never say never, right? I have them all. They are comfortable, what can I say? With the Birkenstocks, I prefer one particular style, but it is all a matter of preference.
Just Comfort Shoes has come a long way since they first opened. They have so many brands for men, women and children. Some of them are made in Austria, others in Germany and, can you believe it?, some here in the U.S.
The store on Rt. 1 has plenty of parking. The one in Rehoboth, you will have to drive around but soon enough the town will be slowing down a bit and parking meters will be out.
I think Just Comfort Shoes has the largest selection at the Delaware Beaches of the following brands: Birkenstock, Dansko, Keen, Earth, Jambu, Vibram Fivefingers, Teva, Mephisto, Finn Comfort, Think!, Sanita, Sanuk, Poliwalks, Acorn, Taos. Also, they have just gotten the Minnetonka Moccasins in very pretty colors.
Sharon keeps updating the stores and a selection of boots has just arrived.
Guess what? Sharon also speaks Spanish.
Have a great rainy day!!! Talk to you later….
