(My) Art & Sole Mission

Art & Sole is committed to improving the quality of life for our customers, through comfortable footwear. That is the mission of my store and something I became accustom to seeing growing up in my Dad's shops; a customer comes in with foot trouble which is making them miserable, we determine and sell the best shoe we can to that customer. We see them 2 weeks later and they are so happy and comfortable in their new shoes. This made a big impression on me and I have never lost the passion I have for helping people in this way. It's a small thing and I don't kid myself about the relative importance of my job compared to other professions, but when you have sore feet and your body is hurting because of it, I am here to say "you do not have to suffer"!

As far as shoe repair goes... the number of repair shops in Portland is steadily dropping (just like the rest of the world) and it is sad to see but that is just the reality of our times. I am willing to do minor repairs; sewing, shines, stretching, some heels, and the occasional Birkenstock. My focus is primarily on selling new shoes (Dansko, Sanita, Red Wing, WORX, Robeez and CROCS) that are comfortable and durable. If you need custom repair work, new zippers, resoling and the like you can get in touch with me and I can probably refer you to someone qualified.
