Jim, son of Del Murray, born in 1949, began working in the store at a very early age, which has been true of all the Murrays. Then, in 1983, Jim became a pioneer, like his great grandfather Adam, and moved west, settling in Colorado. After opening several stores through the Denver area, Jim opened his present store in 1991.
Since 1971, Jim has wanted to help people with their footwear needs and foot problems. The new store was just that beginning. First Jim opened a comfort casual shoe store with shoes that offered extra support or accommodated arch supports. After establishing this market, he went to Northwestern University Medical School’s Prosthetic/Orthotic Center where he completed the required courses in Pedorthics. Jim sat for the boards and was certified as a Pedorthist by the American Board for Certification (ABC). As a pedorthist Jim is now able to modify and fit footwear, and custom fit foot orthosis to alleviate foot problems caused by disease, congenital defect, overuse or injury.
