Jan Kostiw from The Shoe Tree takes some time out of her day to walk us around her store located on the beautiful, tree-lined Festival Square (6th Street South) in downtown Lethbridge.
She started her retail shoe business in 1999 on 4th Avenue. Jan built it from scratch ... contacting suppliers, designing, painting and renovating her new store. After a number of successful years of operation as a tenant in her 4th Avenue space, she recently made the move to her own heritage building on 6th Street. Once again, this new, larger space had to be totally renovated and remodelled. The result ... one of most inviting retail spaces in the downtown core.
Jan and her experienced staff, Kim and Cassie, take great pride in providing their customers with exceptional product knowledge and service. They always strive to make a difference with their customers and to create a positive shopping experience.
Although the store is located in a relatively small city, Jan has managed to stock her store with a 'little bit of everything' in order to satisfy the needs of her customers (Ecco, Franko Sarto, Birkenstock, Hush Puppies, Due Fratelli, Trotters, Sofft, Miss Mac, Romika, NAOT, El Natura Lista, Miz Mooz, MBT, Clarks and many, many other great shoe lines). From dress shoes, to walking shoes, to shoes with removeable footbeds and everything in-between, The Shoe Tree is 'the place' for shoes in Lethbridge. Although her customers are predominantly women, she also carries an impressive selection of quality men's shoes (Merrell, Echo, Rockport and Blundstone from Australia).
Besides shoes, they 'love' their boots and handbags at The Shoe Tree and so do their customers. From flat to high heel, from mid-heel to wedge ... they stock an impressive selection of boots. While in the store make sure to check out their great selection of handbags by Derek Alexander and stunning, custom-crafted handbags by a new, up-and-coming designer from Montreal - Mary-Ann Keverian (Miss MAK).
When you're in the market for new shoes or are looking for something to compliment your wardrobe, make sure to stop into The Shoe Tree in downtown Lethbridge - 326 - 6th Street South.
