Now that spring has arrived, stop in to FL Crooks & Co in downtown Clarion for a tune-up of your shoes. There's no better time.
According to Jim from the Men's Division of FL Crooks & Co, "We just have the best line-up of shoes ever!"
For men, the newest line, Olukai from Hawaii, features three styles with a heel cup that folds down so that your foot can slip right into it. This line is casual and incredibly comfortable!
In fact, comfort is what it's all about for Spring 2011. According to Crooks, 'If you put on a Johnston & Murphy dress shoe, it feels like an athletic shoe that you could go jogging in!" Check out the line Auri which FL Crooks & Co is carrying for the second season. This line personifies where comfort truly meets fashion. Their boots are becoming ultra-popular too.
Merrell continues to be a big one, really key in the market, and a stong-seller. Timberland in another favorite - quality craftmanship and great value. Fratelli, an Italian line, new for Spring 2011, features an all-leather handmade moccasin.
On the women's side, for the active girl, Jambu cannot be beaten for its comfort and durability. This shoe is fabulous if you do a lot of walking.

Perhaps, the brightest star is the Olukai line of sandals from Hawaii, premium footwear with modern designs, technical shapes, and rich materials. The foot bed shapes feature anatomically engineered designs.
Crooks invites you to come to FL Crooks & Co to have your foot measured to be fitted properly. He states, "70% of the people I see are wearing their shoes too short." He points out that the foot expands length wise as you walk, even up to a half of an inch, and you must have adequate length.
Moreover, we may have a tentency to hang on to our shoe for too long. We hang onto our favorites past their prime at our peril. "The shoe wears out in the area where we overload it, so the part where you need the most support isn't there," said Minneapolis podiatrist Paul Langer, clinical professor at the University of Minnesota. "A worn shoe can exaggerate the biomechanical faults you already have," Langer siad. A loss of support and cushioning can cause shin splints, Achilles tendinitis, knee pain and plantar fasciitis, a common form of heel pain. As a shoe's sole and heel wear down unevenly, the likelihood of twisting an ankle increases. In severe cases, old shoes can cause stress fractures, Langer said.
Stop in to FL Crooks & Co, or visit us on-line: you will have over 2,500 pair of shoes from which to choose. Spring has arrived, and it's a wonderful time to invest in a new pair or two of shoes for you. FL Crooks & Co of Clarion will look forward to seeing you!
