Walk and Ride All Day Long

June is a very busy month here in Winnipeg! There's lots of events kicking off summer, school is finishing up, and people are really getting into vacation mode!

One event that most of us are very familiar with is the annual Red River Exhibition, which this year takes place June 12th to 21st. So many rides, food, attractions and entertainment to keep you walking around for hours! This can mean a lot of foot pain for those who don't wear the proper footwear. Let us help you take care of that before it becomes a problem!



Going to the fair in the summer can be a great time, especially when the weather is beautiful. The problem is, a lot of people pick sandals or flip flops to wear because they keep their feet cool and if they need to take them off for certain rides, they can. The problem is that when you walk around for two, three, even four hours in little pieces of rubber your feet are going to be very sore by the end of the day. That, and lots of rides now require you to have closed toe shoes because of safety regulations.

So now what are your options? Well of course a walking or running shoe would be your first (and best) choice for comfort and long lasting wear. The only downside is it's going to be a little warmer for your feet, and the dreaded sock tan that so many of us work so hard to avoid in the summer.

We've picked out some shoes for men, women and kids that will not only give you all day comfort, but will keep your feet cool all day long! Check out our Facebook and Instagram this week to see our top picks for you!



Our number one tip: leave the flip-flops at home. Do you know how big the exhibition park is? If you plan on walking through the entire thing, your feet are going to pay for that with blisters. Come in and check out our selection this week so that you can enjoy the Red River Ex and new shoes too!
