Proper fit is one of the most important factors that contribute to foot health and comfort. Many common foot problems and discomfort are the result of shoes that don’t fit correctly. Wearing tight, narrow shoes might cause bunions or may make them worse. Careful shoe selection can go a long way toward preventive care. That’s why we take the time to measure your feet and help you select a shoe with the proper support, and best fit possible.

Your shoes need to fit your activity, your style, and of course your feet. We have a large selection of brand name athletic, outdoor, occupational, and casual supportive footwear. Step into a Benders store and let us measure your feet and help with your shoe selection. We have a skilled team, knowledgeable about the brands and shoes we carry, and trained in professional shoe-fitting techniques.
