Shopping in Carmel

The Shoe Fits matches feet besieged by medical woes—such as arthritis, circulatory problems, and diabetes—with shoes customized to fit every contour and cushion every tender spot. Store president Sheryl McCain leverages her pedorthics certification to pair feet with conventional shoes, such as Klogs and New Balance running shoes—which can be altered with shoe inserts or physical modifications for a nice fit—or with custom-molded prescription shoes. Her shop also repairs worn-out shoes and stocks orthotic instruments, which can help accommodate foot deformities, reduce muscle stress, and jump-start a marching band that just wandered too close to a game of freeze tag.
