Socks and Sandals Can Be Cool
 |
Well, we’re back. It’s been quite a hiatus, but we’re ready to get back to blogging about foot and shoe stuff. To ease back into the saddle we thought we’d share a video we came across while channel surfing the other day. Take a look. And smile. |
In-Store Clearance Sale
 |
Yes, they’re mostly odd lots, odd sizes, and some odd shoes but you CAN save bundles. If you live near one of the nine Happy Feet Plus stores in the greater Tampa Bay area you can take advantage of this big sale. (Click here for a list of store locations and hours of operation.) Almost every brand we carry has some style or size marked down. With over 4000 items on sale you’re sure to find something in a style and size that will make your feet, and your wallet, very happy. |

When you stop by, one of our foot health specialists can perform a digital foot analysis to ensure that you get the right shoe, sandal, or clog to help you feel better. We do things the old fashioned way. We take time to discuss your foot (or leg, or back, or general health) problems. We will help you select several styles and brands of footwear that will help relieve your pain and discomfort. (Oh, and by-the-way, if the foot health specialist doesn’t explain our “SSR” concept of total foot health be sure to ask how SSR can help you get all-day relief from your discomfort.) | |

Great footwear at great prices. What a great deal! Stop by a Happy Feet Plus store near you and save. | |

Are you off your rocker (sole)?
 |
Quality and function versus fad and fashion. What are you looking for? If Joe Montana says a something is good it’s got to be true, right? Perhaps, but before you lay down any cash for a pair of rocker sole shoes do some homework. Just to let you know, Happy Feet Plus sells MBT, Cogent and Finn Comfort rocker sole footwear. If you just want the cheapest rocker shoe in a color to match your favorite outfit, you probably do not need to read any further. On the other hand, if you’re looking for performance footwear to help work leg and glute muscles, and strengthen your back, then read on. |
|
MBT is recognized as the originator, innovator, and creator of the rocker sole footwear category. Lots of research and development went into the design of their shoes and sandals. You can read more about the research studies by clicking here. Any high quality shoe is going to be resoleable rather than disposable. When you have your MBT refurbished, the outsole is replaced. The Masai Sensor, which takes most of the impact on the MBT, is also replaced. So too are the shoelaces. Last, but not least, the upper is spiffed up. Can, or will, the other rocker-sole companies do the same? You might also want to look into the academic research and professional endorsements for each brand. MBT has dozens of studies proving the benefits. Doctors, physiotherapists and trainers from around the world recommend MBT. Hospitals and clinics worldwide have used MBT’s in therapeutic applications. Endorsements from doctors, physiotherapists and trainers? These folks who have used the products to help people to recover from injuries and surgeries. How about the other guys? Some of the competitors of MBT are spending tons of money to advertise their shoes because the rocker sole category is currently very hot. Before you buy, be sure you do your research. Look to see who’s invested time and money to develop a high quality product. If you’re looking for something that can improve your health and fitness or help you to strengthen your back or rehabilitate certain injuries, you owe it to yourself to look at MBT. (Beware! There are counterfeit MBT’s in the market. If the price looks too good to be true…) Happy Feet Plus has nine stores in the Tampa Bay Florida area. Our foot health specialists are well versed in the benefits of MBT footwear and can help you select the best sandals or shoes to meet your needs. Click here for locations and phone numbers. |

Jane’s Picks – Finn Comfort Venice & Belem
 |
I really liked the idea of a his and her’s special so I’m doing it again this week. Get ready for Fall (yep it’s right around the corner) and save $56.25 on the Finn Comfort Belem Nut Vintage for her. Save $53.75 on the Finn Comfort Venice Espresso for him. As usual, one week only. |
The State of Birkenstock
 |
What’s going on with Birkenstock? Some of you long-time Birkenstock wearers may be noticing that the sub-brands (Alpro, Birki’s, Footprints, Papillio, and Tatami) are going through some changes. Our web site is certainly being affected by what’s going on inside the company. |
|
In an effort, I think, to be more relevant Birkenstock is pulling the strings tighter around the sub-brands. They appear to be looking to better define the sub-brands and eliminate overlap of styles, features, and/or fabrics. This will ultimately be great for customers and retailers, but for right now we’re all seeing styles and colors disappearing on a weekly basis. A couple of things we know to be pretty certain (understanding that nothing is for sure until it happens). First, the Birkenstock brand itself is stable with good availability, new colors, and some new styles. Next, Papillio will become more of a fashion brand with colors and patterns compatible with the annually-featured Birkenstock colors and patterns. Third, we’ve seen the Birki’s spring catalog and if most of the styles and colors come to fruition, they’ll have lots of new things to show. Finally, Footprints and Tatami still seem to be up-in-the-air. If they know where the brands are headed, they’re not telling. We keep close track of the inventory availability for all Birkenstock brands and update our site on a weekly basis. As new footwear becomes available, or is no longer available, we’ll make the appropriate updates. When major seasonal changes occur we’ll also send email notifications to existing customers. In my opinion I think it’ll take another nine months for the changes at Birkenstock to settle down. Until then, if you see a shoe, sandal, or clog from Birkenstock, Alpro, Birki’s, Footprints, Papillio, and Tatami that you like – buy it. You never know how long product availability will last. |

Not Just An Average Joe
 |
There are some who call him… Joe. Joe (his real name – no alias needed here) has been fixin’ shoes for 24 years. Joe is our shoe repair guy. We like Joe. He shows up in the morning, says “Hi”, goes into his shop and closes the door. At the end of his day he opens the door, lines up all the nicely polished resoled, repaired, refurbished, re-whatever footwear, and goes home. What magic does Joe perform behind that closed door each day? A few weeks ago I described the process of resoling and refurbishing Birkenstock and Finn Comfort footwear. Joe does that but that’s not the end of the work he can do. |
|
In addition to the refurbs and resoles Joe does lifts, wedges, and tapers. But wait, that’s not all. He can make almost any Birkenstock into a high arch or soft footbed version, so you’re not limited to just the stock styles and colors. Yes Joe’s a versatile, and busy, guy. If you have a question or need more specific information about repairs, call him at 1-800-336-6657 and ask for “Joe the Repair Guy”. Here’s a list of some of the custom work Joe can do in addition to the basic refurbs and repairs.
All lifts, wedges, and tapers use an ultra-lightweight and durable material. All soles are matched to ensure a uniform appearance. Happy Feet Plus is an Authorized Birkenstock and Finn Comfort Repair Facility. |
