Shopping in Speedway

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.

Working together as makeup artists, Anne White and Holly Kirsh soon bonded over their mutual passion for fashion. In 1994, they started hosting quarterly shopping events in Indianapolis to share the season’s latest trends with other fashionistas. Over time, their style-seeking endeavors evolved into a successful business of culling the latest in skincare products, apparel, and accessories. AH Collection—a name derived from their combined first initials—now boasts locations at the Hamilton Town Center in Noblesville and Clay Terrace in Carmel. The two locations stock a rotating array of apparel selected to match seasonal fashion trends. Cosmetics include foundations, eye shadows, and bronzers to highlight natural features while covering up blemishes and last year's Halloween masks.
