Farylrobin, Frye Feel Good At Footloose On Fort
Boots with Comfort Features Sell in British Columbia

In downtown Victoria, British Columbia, Footloose on Fort is offering customers fun styles that also feel comfortable. “Our clientele is a wide range. We carry some mature lines like Dansko and Naot, alongside Camper, Hispanitas, Cydwoq and Bloch London,” says owner Kerstin Greiner, who’s been in business since 1982. “We don’t do a lot of heels; 2.5 to 3 inches is the highest.” Image The 2,100-square foot store has found success with boots this fall, especially in neutral tones of blacks, browns, gray and taupe. “Boots are definitely bigger than they were; it’s been an up and coming thing. For the past three to four years they’ve gotten really important,” Greiner says. “But for my area comfort needs to be part of it.” Here are a few other styles Greiner’s customers are snapping up.

Why It’s A Top Seller:

“This is a style we’re constantly re-ordering. It’s a boot that women feel is versatile; it’s comfortable and fashionable. It’s a round toe that’s fairly flat with a little block heel and a buckle around the ankle. It’s higher than mid-calf. We carried it in black and brown, but the new color cognac is doing really well.”
