Time to Get Back to School Basics

With the abundance of 90 degree days and summer showers upon us, it is no wonder that thinking about getting outfitted for school has yet to cross our minds.  Well friends, I hate to make that thought a reality but don't worry! Feet First is here to help! Not only are we in our new location, but we have a TON of great back to school buys for the upcoming fall season!  Here is a quick preview of things to look for!


Bags
Traditional backpacks are great for getting all of your notebooks and books to school, but Feet First has some cute fashionable tote bags that are a much more trendy alternative!

 

 

Shoes

When it comes to shoes for school it seems that the most important feature is comfort.  Feet First has a super cute collection of shoes that are both comfortable and fashionable! 

The Corso Como Ballasox are great because they are not only a great colorful 

accessory, but they can be folded up and stored in a small space.  Their substantial 

rubber sole and comfortable sock lining make them a great choice for all day wear! 

We will be receiving a new shipment of these very soon, so keep checking the 

new arrivals section of our website.

With the versatility in design and color, yet the consistent comfort provided

 by the rubber sole and cotton lining, Keds are a great choice for school wear.  Feet First 

has a sizable stock of Keds Champion available in many cute designs and fun colors!

Jack Rogers are not only great for warm fall school days, but they are very cute for 

weekend wear too! In an assortment of colors, the leather upper and signature 

whipstitching and rondelles ensure these sures are as comfortable as they look!

Geaux Saints!

If there is one thing to look forward to in the coming months: Saints Sundays! Volatile's Black and Gold line is the perfect accessory to make sure no one questions your Who Dat loyalty.  We will also have a wide assortment of tutus, tees, and other accessories to complement your black and gold ensemble!

Well there you have it: homework might not be so bad if you can pull your notebooks out of a cute bag or if you can go to school everyday in fashionable shoes right? Stop into Feet First and we will hook you up with everything you need to look your best on the first day of school (the most important day, right?)!

Celeberating Culture (and Keeping It Cute) with Feet First!

         Bonjour Fashionistas, Gabbi here! I've Missed you guys! Sorry it's been a while since my last post but you knew I wouldn't be gone for long! The Feet First Family would like to send out our humble condolences to the family of world renowned and city loved, Jazz and Blues legend Lionel "Uncle Lionel" Baptiste. He has influenced and helped shape New Orleans culture as we know it today and the city will forever be grateful for that. Being a locally owned business in the city for 35 years we know how much culture and tradition means to our city so, in memory of him I thought it would only be right to blog about some New Orleans culture and what better than the Secondline?!

Secondlines are traditional brass band parades held in the city, usually on Sundays. The secondline originated from West African circle dances and dances performed in Congo Square by slaves that were given Sundays off. They are now modernly put on by Social Aid & Pleasure Clubs, to celebrate weddings or for jazz funerals. The city will secondlining two weeks straight from the passing of Uncle Lionel on July 8 until his burial on Monday, July 23.

But if you're gonna be apart of the culture you've got to do it with comfort and style. That's where Feet First comes in!

A pair of Keds are great for stepping out. The classic Champion Oxford  from Keds features a canvas upper with lace-up Oxford style, rubber outsole, and cotton lining and insole. The insole features arch support and thick cushioning for comfortable wear. Perfect for dancing right?  The Classic Champion Oxford include to different color laces for versatile style and is available in numerous colors including pink, red, aqua, orange, green, yellow, and black.

Still not enough cushion and support for your bug jumping?  Pair those Keds with some Foot Petals feet cushions! The Killer Cushionz 3/4 Insole, Haute Heelz Bottom of Heel Cushions and Amazing Arches Arch Support Cushions, cushion your entire foot and decrease impact on your heels, legs, and lower back.

And to top it off you can't parade with out a scarf! This fuchsia Saachi scarf features a rich, multi-colored pattern reminiscent of a beautiful watercolor painting.
