I'm September, the founder and your guide into the expansive world of footwear. Yes, my name truly is September, born in the month itself. While it's a conversation starter, and a bit of a mind game for me during the month of September (where every calendar mention sounds like a personal call-out), I want to share a story that goes beyond names and into a journey of discovery, resilience, and passion. One that turned into a mission to bring comfort and style to your steps.
How It All Started
My story begins with a unique challenge - clubbed feet. This condition necessitated the early use of a clubfoot brace, a contraption that seemed more medieval than medical, setting the stage for a lifelong quest for the "right" shoes. Growing up, I didn't have the luxury of choosing shoes for fun or fashion; each pair was a carefully selected tool for correction and comfort. These shoes came with a hefty price tag and required considerable effort to obtain, which meant I had just a single pair (and, let me tell you, they were not stylish). This early hurdle didn't just shape my feet; it would mold my life's mission.
Transitioning into adulthood, I moved away from custom-made shoes (because who doesn't want cute shoes). And faced the inevitable - foot and back pain from years of improper footwear. It wasn't until my late 30s that a turning point came, leading me to an orthotic shoe store and a podiatrist who would change my life. I learned about foot mechanics, orthotics, and brands dedicated to making shoes that support and comfort those with foot conditions. It was an awakening to the power of the right shoes and the beginning of my mission to share this knowledge with everyone I meet.
