Laurie, Hans and JP<\/p><\/div>\n

The first time I ventured into FootWorks, I was in search of a great walking shoe and knew nothing about how to select the proper footwear. Unlike many of my contemporaries, I never saw the act of running for miles as a joyous pastime.\u00a0But all that shame about being a neophyte melted away when I was approached\u00a0by a FootWorks employee who offered to assist me.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

I walked on the treadmill and she watched. She said, \u201cOK, walk around the store and let me look at you.\u201d She quickly analyzed my gait and said that I was \u201cover-pronating.\u201d\u00a0 <\/span>Meaning that my arches collapse when I walk, causing me to turn my ankles inward.\u00a0 <\/span>She didn\u2019t bring me an array of shoes, just two or three apt pairs that would cushion my feet and stop that over-pronating thing. In a matter of minutes, my problems were solved and I had a fantastic pair of walking shoes.<\/p>\n

Through time, I have had the pleasure of meeting and getting to know Hans and Laurie Huseby, the owners of FootWorks. Their story is one of hard work, determination, familial devotion, and community involvement.\u00a0 <\/span>Sadly, Hans\u00a0passed away suddenly on November 28, 2014.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n\n\t\t
