We're pretty busy up until the first week in December. It winds down after that because people have other things in their mind, but that's fine with me since I like taking the week off between Christmas and New Year's.
It is a good organization. People have been pressuring me to become more involved, but I have no time to prepare for the competition.
People need to go to a professional shoe store, and they don't like to hear that because they know it will be expensive. But these are your feet, and having the proper shoes can save you from a lot of toe and back problems in the future.
Some people think a shoe has to be skin tight to fit, which is not the case. Some people want me to stretch their shoe up another shoe size, but that's something I can't do.
They're quick fixes. People buy cheap throwaway shoes that have no support, and down the line in the future they will be paying for it dearly.
