Keeping your feet happy and healthy mile after mile is what it's all about. Your new shoes don't feel just right? No problem - bring 'em back for exchange or refund. We'll work with you to determine what's not right and find a new pair that feel amazing or simply give you a refund.
Keep Tulsa Strong
It pays to shop locally. Why? Because locally-owned stores recycle a much larger share of their sales revenue back into the local economy. For every $100 that you spend in a local small business, an average of $68 is reinvested locally. That's almost triple the $21 that the average big-box retailer reinvests locally. Chain stores siphon the vast majority of sales revenue out of the community, funneling their corporate headquarters or distant suppliers.
