gumshoe is about one thing: loyalty.

We opened our first store in the very neighborhood where I grew up; just a few blocks away from where I live today. I knew half of the moms in the neighborhood before we ever opened our store, and I feel like I must know just about all of the parents in the area today.

My team and I have the most fun job in the world (most of the time!). We get to meet new people as they come into the world, we get to help new moms understand what they're in for when it comes to good shoes and proper footcare, we get to watch the kids as they grow up, and we get to help them find their first walkers, their first flip-flops, and their first sneakers along the way.

With each new year, we meet new little ones and new parents. We focus on being there for them with the right shoes, the right service, and the right price, and we hope that in turn, our customers will be loyal to us as their children grow up.

We've just recently "opened" gumshoe.com as an extension of our physical store. While I'm sure I won't get to meet and know everyone who uses our website in the same way I get to know the customers who come into our store, I do hope that at least a few new faces (or emails) will surface as a result, and that those who like to shop online will still feel like they are receiving the same level of service that we strive to provide in the store. If you feel like you're not (or that you are), please drop me a line and let me know: kathryn @ gumshoe.com.

Welcome to our store. We look forward to serving you for many years to come.

Sincerely,

Kathryn McCarthy, Owner
