Once Upon A Shoe, a boutique shoe store primarily for women, opened this weekend in Hayden Creek Plaza, 8206 N. Government Way.
“The store carries shoes that are stylish, comfortable and well made, three things women commonly struggle to find in a shoe these days,” said owner Daria Brown. “What a difference it makes when your shoes fit correctly and you start your day in style.”
Brands the store is opening with include Vionic, Dansko, Baske, Toas, SAS and Blundstone. Customers can see, touch and feel the products with skilled associates.
“Men’s (shoes) are included too,” said Lee Brown, Daria’s husband. “We can 3D scan and fit orthotics in-store and can special order. We also have fun, functional socks and beautiful handbags.”
Hours are 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. weekdays, 10 to 5 on Saturday and 11 to 4 on Sunday. Phone 208-772-SHOE.
