Two sizes too big...

Althea, 

Kim was AWESOME! She measured my feet to perfection, and came out with about 5000 pairs of shoes, until she found the perfect one. Who knew that I was wearing shoes that were two sizes too big?!?!?

Fallen arches...

posted Apr 10, 2011 7:45 PM by Althea Schlumpf   [ updated Apr 11, 2011 8:46 PM ]

I scheduled my appointment in the Everett store, arrived and was greeted professionally and warmly. I went down the elevator to meet Althea herself and received a warm welcome again.

We talked about what I wanted and specifics about my feet and if they caused me pain and if so where. Together we decided that I would benefit from custom orthotics.  So she put me on a machine that showed her where my problem areas were on my feet. Very cool, I might add. So soon I will be wearing new shoes, fitted correctly to my feet, and orthotics made just for me to help with my fallen arches and other foot pain problems. All and all it was a great experience and will be a returning customer for years to come. Thank you Althea.

Unusual shoe size

posted Apr 9, 2011 7:22 PM by Althea Schlumpf   [ updated Apr 11, 2011 8:47 PM ]

This is not your ordinary shoe store. I started going here year's ago because I have an unusual shoe size, but the store also specialized in customers with medical problems. The staff pays careful attention to your measurements, how you walk, and your taste in shoes. They will not let you leave with a pair of shoes unless they know you will be comfortable.

They also service their shoes until they're convinced you have had all the wear you can get from that shoe. Personally, the last few years has been the only time in my life when I can get up and have more than one or two choices for shoes in the morning. It may not seem like much, but when you've gone through your life wearing mostly men's shoes, it is a big deal. We're fortunate to have this store in our area.

Scoliosis was causing pain

posted Feb 13, 2011 10:21 AM by Althea Schlumpf   [ updated Apr 11, 2011 8:46 PM ]

"I'm 18 and have suffered with scoliosis for 8 years now. The curvature in my spine causes my hips to be significantly mis-aligned - resulting in one leg constantly being shorter than the other. This medical situation often results in extreme back pain.

Recently, I discovered I could get  some relief through uniquely fit shoes.

AMAZING. Althea's was able to provide me a comfortable (and stylish) pair of running shoes that brought my hips into much better alignment and adjusted for a slightly fallen arch that I didn't even realize I was dealing with. A few minutes of observation, questions and personal attention and I was out the door with a brand new pair of shoes that will go a long way toward helping me reclaim my balance and posture and probably begin to eliminate my back pain.

I haven't felt this good in a pair of shoes in a very, very long time. Thank you! "

Huge improvement in his feet...

"Dear Althea,

Wyatt is 3 weeks into his orthotics and has seen a huge improvement in his feet and Achilles tendons. He’s back to playing soccer pain free. We are most appreciative for all your help."

We were both impressed...

"Dear Althea and your gracious staff:

Christine and I really appreciate your expertise and your being so accommodating, and going out of your way to accommodate our time needs. We were both impressed with your keen observation upon entering the store that she was ¼” high. Plus you didn’t make any comments about being ½ of bubble off."

Tender feet

posted Nov 23, 2010 4:46 PM by Althea Schlumpf   [ updated Apr 11, 2011 8:45 PM ]

"My feet could be in the Hans Christian Anderson’s classic, “The Princess and the Pea”! I have the most tender feet of anyone I know. The smallest little pebble jumps into my shoe and it stops me cold. Only the shoes I find at Althea’s Footwear Solutions can make me smile all day long. The customer care after buying my shoes includes any foot issues that may develop. You have spoiled me forever. Thank you Althea!"

Not your ordinary shoe store...

posted Nov 23, 2010 4:44 PM by Althea Schlumpf   [ updated Mar 7, 2011 11:55 AM ]

"My husband and I began shopping at Althea's in Everett last year. We went for shoes and custom built inserts to help manage his foot pain. Being a diabetic, his shoes and the inserts designed perfectly for his feet, were covered by insurance.


I'm not the kind of woman who typically pays much attention to my feet or shoes for that matter. My experience at Althea's has changed that. They properly sized me. I'd been wearing shoes much larger than I really needed to accommodate for the width of my feet. They took the time to help me make the best decision for my budget and my lifestyle at home and work. They even made adjustments specifically to help me have the most comfortable fit for MY feet.

I walked away with shoes that fit my life and my feet have never felt better! I will never shoe-shop anywhere else!"
