What to Expect Coming into Elias Shoes
OMGOSH I’m so scared to go into a Shoe Store!!
Never been to a shoe store? Maybe it's your first time needing specialty shoes. Or maybe you just like knowing what to expect. Nonetheless, we get it- new experiences are scary and might lead to unwanted anxiety and over thinking for no reason. Let’s talk about what you can expect when coming into Elias Shoes.
A Warm Hello
The first thing anyone can expect when coming in Elias Shoes is a warm heart felt hello. We understand the importance of family and community and treating everyone of our guests with patience. Here at Elias Shoes, we are a totally family owned and operated shoe store. For us, a hello means more than the normal “hello.” We understand that this can be a new experience for someone and our “hello” is the icebreaker.
Are You on a Mission?
If you have ever been in the store, we are sure you’d heard the statement “Are you on a mission?” At Elias Shoes, we have hundreds of shoes ranging from six-inch heels all the way down to running shoes. You might not want heels, but maybe you are looking for a supportive water-proof sandal. If that's the case, we will show you what options you have in the water-proof sandals. The same goes for any group of shoes. Maybe you are a nurse and need slip-resistant Klogs. We’ve got that too! So after you get your warm hello, expect us to ask you what kind of shoe you are looking for.
Sizing and Issues
After we know what kind of shoe you are looking for and its intended purpose, we like to sit down and discuss any issues you might have and size your feet (both left and right foot). I know, this might be the scary part. Some people have insecurities about their feet. Don't worry- Elias Shoes is a judge free zone. All the staff are trained professionals and know exactly what they are doing.
The Hunt
Now we know the purpose of the shoe, your correct size, and what issues you may or may not have. The next step is probably our most favorite. This is the stage where we go to the back and look for shoes! Pretty simple, right? Maybe you know exactly what shoe you want down to the color; or, on the other hand, maybe all you know is that you want a green heel- regardless, we got you! We like giving our guests options and suggestions (if they are open to it of course.) At this stage, some of our guests try two shoes and find the perfect one. On the flip side, some try close to twenty pairs to find the perfect one. Regardless of how long it takes, our staff are patient and understanding so you can find the shoes, inserts, and socks you’ll love!
What’s Next?
After we have found you the perfect pair of shoes, we might give you care instructions or educate you on any questions or concerns you may have. At Elias Shoes, we aren't just trying to sell you something- we are trying to give you a better quality of life. We know that health means more than what we eat or how we workout. We know that you shouldn't have to be in pain all the time. We know that our feet affect the rest of our body. The sad part is, no one teaches us how to take care of our feet and the importance of good shoes, or what comfort really is. But we get it and that's exactly why we are here!
Ending Thoughts
Thank you for reading! We hope this put your mind at ease. Again, new experiences are scary and people never know what to expect. Just know we understand and are here for you!
