INTO SHOES
CELEBRATES 50TH ANNIVERSARY

Located in downtown Somerset and well known to individuals looking for comfort, quality and style in their shoes, Into Shoes celebrates its 50th anniversary on January 15. As part of its celebration, Into Shoes will donate two percent of its February sales to two nonprofit organizations: Somerset Child Care Center and the Somerset Social Services Agency. “We work and live here and always give back to the community,” says Bobbie Grant, owner.

Since 1960, when Into Shoes initially focused on a few brands of comfortable shoes, the store has tripled its size at 600 State Street, and now offers more than 50 brands of women and men’s shoes from many international designers. While customers primarily come from Somerset and surrounding communities, Into Shoes also attracts shoe buyers from many miles away because they appreciate the eclectic variety and comfort, quality and style.

“In today’s market, when most shoes are sold through national chains, we’re proud to be celebrating our 50th anniversary and to be one of the relatively few independent retailers,” Grant adds. “We thank our customers for making this event possible.”
