April's Shoe Fitter of the Month: Maria L. from SHOES-n-FEET Bellevue
Posted by JB Smith, Co-Owner on
April's Shoe Fitter of the Month wouldn't trade working at SHOES-n-FEET Bellevue for anything...except maybe an extended trip to the islands of Hawaii (but really, who wouldn't?). Maria L. loves meeting new customers and showing them the light - of better living through better shoes. She's excited to be sharing her expertise with even more customers through the new Running Store at the Bellevue location! Learn more about Maria in this month's profile.
