As a girl who loves her shoes, I am always looking for someone who shares my passion and knows their stuff. Ann Marie Escobar and her sister Mary Sease recently opened Shoe Port, a shoe boutique in Portsmouth, and they really know shoes. Coming from 20 years in the business, these fun and friendly sisters are a perfect addition to the fashion strip at Clock Tower Square, a section of the town that already draws the avid shopper.
Escobar says of her new shop, “We love what we do and are excited to provide great shoes as well as a fit service.” Admittedly, nowadays it is all too common to just stop into a chain store for shoes and we often forget that a fitting is the most important part of the experience. Trusting the person to know your needs and how you’ll wear into a shoe over time can help make the purchase more pleasant and certainly more dependable. I recently came to find out that each shoe brand is known for wearing differently over time and some brands are better known for work-wearers versus the casual walker.
This spring, Shoe Port’s shoe loving sisters say they are seeing a trend in beach comfort. Boat shoes are already starting to be popular again, with the loafer making a strong comeback. If you love the beachside lifestyle, Escobar recommends OluKai the Hawaiian, a brand that offers luxury sandals, boots and shoes made for comfort with clean lines.
