We are a locally owned, independent shoe store carrying a wide variety of comfort brands and generally awesome footwear.

Bend soap companyHere at Bend Soap Company, we make amazing, wholesome, all-natural goat milk soap. It’s amazing because each bar is crafted to change lives. Our first bars of goat milk soap were created to relieve our son, Chance’s, eczema. He would scratch his legs until they bled and nothing we tried seemed to help! In fact, we discovered that the soap we were using would irritate his skin even more and lotion would make it burn. One look at the ingredients label told us why.
KIDRUNNERWhen we had our first daughter, we immediately realized that traditional push strollers weren't made for running. We knew we couldn't be alone and we knew there had to be a better way. KidRunner was born.
