First there was one location, founded about 27 years ago at the Barnyard by one Hedi Movahedi. Now there are three and they’re run by managing owner (and Hedi’s daughter) Shara. Here are just some of the brands they carry: Ecco, Ugg Australia, Mephisto, Allen Edmond’s, Pikolinos, Munro American, Rieker, Dansko, Clarks of England. And they’re keeping alive the fading craft of fitting people for their shoes for size and width (narrow, medium, wide). Although Hedi’s name graces the signage, you likely won’t see him at the stores: While his daughter is running things, Hedi’s spending most of his free time playing with his granddaughter, perhaps the next generation of the stores’ proprietors.
