www.oakvillebeaver.com The Oakville Beaver, Friday August 10, 2007 - 25 Grandmothers weave these fibers of high design and exceptional quality which enables them to care for orphan children in their communities. Store Hours: Fair trade since 1946 www.TenThousandVillages.ca Stylish shoes that are sure to make your feet happy, at ECCO Shoes in downtown Oakville Walk a mile in the shoes preferred by the folks who walk miles for a living. Surrounding their feet lays a leather bound shroud of comfort. Such high tech soothing is a must. Blisters hinder performance. Consider the soles of golfers Fred Couples and Juli Inkster. Their profession demands they traverse miles of greens. Like them, we bipeds demand a lot of our feet. On average, we take about 15, 000 steps each day. Those 26 bones, 20 muscles and 112 ligaments support almost twice our body weight every step of the way. ECCO shoes not only rise to the challenge but do so stylishly, for all walks of life: those of men, women and children. Just as golfers head out to the links and expect blisters ­ it's become part and parcel of the sport ­ donning new shoes more often than not can bring about the same foot folly too. Thanks to ECCO's unique fit, snug heels, and one-piece form fitting technology, which is devoid of cementing and stitching, ECCO is a shoe wearer's nirvana. ECCO truly abides by its `Never underestimate the power of comfort' slogan. "For people with serious foot problems ECCO is the best of best, true comfort combined with fashion," said Marc Hopper who is the company's sports division manager. Zahed Rasul opened the ECCO Oakville store two years ago on Lakeshore Road at Trafalgar Road. Since then, golfers, hikers, runners and fashion forward folks have flocked there. That's because ECCO is a shoe company that stands out in a crowd. The Danish shoemaker is one of a rare breed. It remains a family business after 44 years, and it manufactures its own shoes. ECCO started in 1963 in the town of Bredebro in southwestern Denmark, and is owned and managed by the Toosbuy family. ECCO is on of only three per cent of all such companies in the world that designs, produces, develops, distributes and sells its own footwear. By using the professional know-how gained over four decades of devotion ECCO maintains better controls for high quality and standards every step of the way, from start to finish.
