“Picture a tropical-themed sports bar. But instead of cocktails, we serve orthopedic footwear,” said Sean Rimes, owner of Paradise Footwear.
The tropical-themed environment with the comfortable shoes is taking over the former Norris Shoes location at 221 East Main Street, with an opening celebration on March 3. Messenger’s Shoe Repair will continue to operate in their current space.
Paradise Footwear specializes in comfort-oriented, high-quality footwear featuring brands like Brooks, Hoka, Dansko, Merrell, Teva, Revere, and Klogs. They provide personalized fittings, foot health education, and exceptional service in a welcoming, tropical-themed environment backed by a skilled team including a certified pedorthist and an experienced department manager/buyer.
The new prime downtown location offers nearly triple the space of their Barnett Road location, making room for expanded inventory (including new work shoes/boots category) dedicated fitting/pedorthic areas, enhanced customer experience, and greater visibility on East Main Street.
“This location has been Medford’s shoe store since the late 1800s. We’re honored and excited to continue in those footsteps,” said Sean.
DMA is proud to announce that Paradise Footwear is the first grant recipient under DMA’s Storefront Activation Program. Welcome to Downtown Paradise!
