The 5,700 square foot Shoe Sensation will showcase over 10,000 pairs of first run shoes.

Shoe Sensation will also carry a wide range of athletic shoes from Nike, New Balance, Adidas, Puma, Converse and others as well as skate shoes from DC, Vans, Osiris and Etnies. Additionally, Shoe Sensation carries the latest styles of Shape Ups from Skechers, Reebok Easytone and other toning footwear specifically designed to promote fitness.

The Rx Foot health section inside Shoe Sensation is where you’ll find shoes designed to maximize comfort and help alleviate foot-related problems. With styles approved for Medicare reimbursement from brands known for comfort such as New Balance, Aetrex and Propet—Shoe Sensation will be a destination for everyone seeking extra comfort and enhanced mobility.

A prominent fixture in the Rx Foot Health section is the Aetrex iStep SP5000. The iStep is the most revolutionary digital foot analysis device ever created and iStep tests are recommended for everyone who wants to feel great on their feet. In less than 30 seconds the iStep will capture your foot type, pressure points and shoe size and then help recommend the ideal footwear and orthotics for your individual needs.

Keeping with a company tradition of recruiting local talent for store management, Shoe Sensation, Inc. is in the process of selecting Seymour residents to fill management and associate positions for the new location. Jim Quiggins, Advertising Director for Shoe Sensation is looking forward to the new store opening. “I think the people of Seymour will embrace Shoe Sensation,” Quiggins said. “Although we are a regional chain, we strive to maintain a fundamentally local focus and we are looking forward to being a part of the Seymour community. The huge selection of name brand shoes and great prices at Shoe Sensation fit what the community has needed for a long time. Our staff will be offering great service with our layaway, special order and other programs as well as great shoes.”
