| - I was attending a conference at the San Marcos Hotel in downtown Chandler. Whenever I attend a conference, I like to get out and explore the local businesses, even if the conference is in a suburb of my very own city. So, when the sessions ended @ 5 p.m. on Thursday, I went strolling through Chandler's very charming downtown. Because women are biologically programmed to be unable to walk past a shoe store, I stopped into Shoe Thrill, because, happily, they stay open until 8 p.m.
I was like a kid in a candy store! They'd just gotten in a bunch of fall inventory, and the brands they carry are brands I love! I fell in love with a pair of Allegrias that were 50% off, and they had them in my size. I wanted to wait until my paycheck was direct deposited, so I promised to come back the next day.
When I returned on Friday, the staff remembered me, and brought over the shoes I wanted. I shopped a bit more, and purchased two more pairs of shoes. One of them was a pair of black nubuck Olukai loafers I've wanted for a while. I'd seen them in the Terry catalog and REI online, but I really like to spend my money locally, whenever possible. They are amazingly comfortable. I am happy with all of my purchases.
Shoe Thrill has an fantastic inventory of gorgeous shoes and boots. Service was friendly and casual. They also carry some purses, hats, and jewelry. I live downtown Phoenix, but I will willingly travel to Chandler to shop @ Shoe Thrill again.
