Who doesn't want to go shoe shopping?  Have you discovered Foot Traffic Shoes on Fourth (near Lootens)? 

Trust me, this is not your average shoe store.  This shoe business is not just about selling shoes, they are there to answer your questions, exam your feet especially if you have issues with foot pain and they are knowledgeable in recommending shoes that would work best for your needs, without any kind of hard selling involved.   You truly will feel cared for here, not like the big name department stores where your shoe salesperson is commission-driven.  Customer service is valued the moment you walk into Foot Traffic Shoes.  Darryl, Tana and their staff greet you immediately without hovering.   They offer you a bottle of water (or bubbles for the kids) while you browse and try on shoes.  Darryl offered to take care of my boots which were in need of a shine, while I tried on a pair of newly arrived sandals.   I didn't even buy those boots there and he returned them to me like new.  Trust me, this shop is worth a visit!  Once you shop here, you will not want to go anywhere else again. 

They are located at 874-4th Street in San Rafael.
