FIXED IDEAS
Our "fixed idea" ia to sell shoes that are bo
good and that fit to well that everybody who
tries one pair will want another. That's why
we sell WALK-OVER tshoes and fit them in
the "WALK-OVER Way" (to exact foot
measurement.) We suggest that you try the
"WALK-OVER Way" JUST once. You will
not need to be asked a second time.
