Owners Gabby and Levi Gentry opened their first shoe store in Covington. “Levi and I decided to open our first shoe store because there was a void in the marketplace for great shoes,” said Gabby. “It was hard to find a store that offered comfortable and fashionable footwear. Many ‘comfort footwear’ stores are avoided by younger adults. There is a stigma of comfortable orthopedic shoes being something that only our grandparents wore. As a young adult, I wanted to offer products that made my peers and future customers feel stylish while also reducing foot pain. A few of our top brands are HOKA, Birkenstock, ON
and Blundstone.”
The couple opened their Point Ruston location in the fall of 2020. When you step into Gentry’s Footwear, you feel important, appreciated, and are offered exceptional customer service. Not only is the selection of footwear superb, but you will walk out with a smile on your face and pep in your step.
