Charlie and Courtnay McGinness ease pain every day, but they’re not doctors.
The owners of Chattanooga Shoe Co., a local comfort shoe business, sell shoes that help with lower back, heel and arch pain.
With the recent opening of a second location on Manufacturers Road near Greenlife Grocery, they also hope to provide customers with trendy and fashion-forward styles.
“We do have a different product mix than we do on Gunbarrel [Road],” said Courtnay McGinness, referring to the store’s other location. “Customers are more interested in buying comfort shoes now because a lot of the comfort shoe distributors come out with great styles and they’re real cute.”
The couple took over the business about two years ago, when it was known as Zumfoot. Before that, the original store was called Birkenstock Place, Charlie McGinness said.
