Guest Speaker was Gene from the Clinton Bootery, next to Stop &Shop.
He spoke on the importance of getting your feet measured at least once a year as people do not realize they are a different size then they actually wear. They do mostly problem fittings. He makes Orthotics to fit your shoes and give great comfort. It’s expensive but he said it’s worth it. He also sells regular shoes, and says best ones are Merrell, Sas and New Balance. He also said Crocs are good quality shoes and sells them too. He was a very interesting speaker.
