This small specialty store effectively conveys
Surefoot’s unique heritage with graphics and
environment, while educating the customer about
the benefits of orthotics. A “fit” wall
illustrates the three steps to the orthotic-fitting
process. The explanations correspond to the technology
used to create the orthotics, which are located
directly in front of each fitting process step.
The boot wall displays boots by skill level. An
LED board by the cashwrap provides continuous updates
on weather and slope conditions for all cities worldwide
where Surefoot is located.
