Love Those Shoes : because good health starts with your feet

About Us
Love Those Shoes was born in 2003 – the brainchild of two entrepreneurs with 5 years of Internet retailing behind them. (And one of them with a lifelong passion for shoes - guess which one ..... )) Having stumbled across some Shoes With Technology that had just been developed, we hit upon the idea of bringing to a wider audience … Shoes That Look Good And Do You Good. The idea and the product ranges grew as we searched the World for new and innovative footwear that would give health and beauty benefits whilst simply walking in them. (I guess that stemmed from discovering there was an easier way than going to the gym ) We are immensely proud to say that Love Those Shoes has grown into the number one website on the Internet selling shoes with positive health benefits, the growth being mostly by word of mouth from customers who become instant converts, but also by press articles (If you’re a journalist reading this, please click here for our Press Pack) We have a great team of people …. (But we’re growing fast and need more good people. Email me here, if you’d like to join us, and check out our Jobs at Love Those Shoes page) Our aim is to supply a quality product with fast delivery, give excellent customer service, and make the whole buying experience easy and enjoyable. We’re delighted to receive countless testimonials – many of which offer invaluable advice and personal experience that new customers find useful. We launch new styles every season, and also continue to research new State of the Art products to introduce to you. Please check out our Contact Us page for location and contact details.

	Glen – She Who Must Be Obeyed Managing Director and Co-founder. The originator of the innovative products and the driving force of the business. The one who fights for all the best deals, recruits and runs all the staff, and generally does absolutely everything about the place ! And the very epitome of modesty !
	Nick – The Power Behind the Throne (Glen comment : He thinks !) Nick is the Technical Director and Brains of the Business. He is the calm, sane voice of authority that keeps Glen’s wilder ideas in perspective. (Glen comment : I’ll give you two guesses who wrote this bio – and it wasn’t me !
	Susie - Head Merchandiser The sharpest cookie in our product packet - you'd think butter wouldn't melt to look at her, but is she bossy !! (just ask William - poor guy can't get away with a thing) Rather sadly, Susie has wanted a pair of Dorothy's Ruby Shoes all her life, and fate brought her to us so she could find her own yellow brick road. But you have to kiss a lot of tin men before you reach your rainbow, Suse. And no Susie, climbing into the containers as soon as they arrive is not the way. Susie suffers badly from ‘Can’t Decide Which Ones to Have Syndrome’ every season. Still, it's all in the interests of ... testing all the new styles. Oh yeah :-)
	Mark – The Techie Wizard Mark writes the code that makes it all happen. He makes everything work on the website and the system. Of course, as the only man in the office, everything that goes wrong is his fault :) However, fortunately, he’s also the one who can fix it. Mark doesn’t realise how lucky he is to work amongst so many girls, although we do tell him regularly.
	Susan - The Stock Star Cool, calm and collected - no matter how many fires are burning around her :-) There are days when hundreds of orders HAVE to go out, and returns have to be processed - but it takes more than that to ruffle Susan's feathers, and it always gets done. We suspect she keeps a family of little elves, who scurry around helping her when no one's looking. We don't know how else she gets it all done.
	William - Mr. Muscles Well actually, this is a new nickname we gave William after the first consignment of Power Diet weighted shoes arrived ! William runs the warehouse and the stock with a passion for neatness and thoroughness bordering on obsession. We don't mind obsessed staff :-) Oh and did I mention he's a total football fanatic ?
	LAURA - Communications Manager Now I know we employ some strange people, but Laura's proud claim to fame is she has a small webbed toe and can swim faster than a frog.... Don't ask ! She gets frustrated at red tape - which makes her a perfect Love Those Shoes bod, cos so do we ! On the plus side, she considers herself happy, driven and loyal. We consider her as sharp as a button, creative and very very noisy. She's also a bit of a hustler - but we love that about her :-)
	Julie - Bean Counter So how do you imagine an Accountant to be - hot headed, fiery, dramatic and showy ? No ? Well Julie isn't either. Julie is at her happiest ticking rows of figures and what really gives her a buzz is balancing the bank figures. Sometimes she gets so excited when she has a full tray of incoming invoices. I guess it's fortunate that it takes all sorts in life ! Currently she leaves the office aching every day, she tells me. Errr Julie, you're wearing your Earth shoes all day, and your Miami's all evening at home. So there's another figure she's interested in !
	Rebecca - Seriously Sassy Rebecca's role as Communications Assistant is a massive step up from her first role as a giant dolphin at kids parties. Yet again, proof that everyone on our team is slightly left of normal :-) We haven't tried tossing fish to her yet though, as we think we should wean her off previous bad habits. Far be it from me to comment on people's personal habits, but she does confess to a strange addiction to pickled onions, Hmm wonder if she has a boyfriend ..... But on the plus side - she writes a mean press release and is a born communicator. Now don't tell her I said this, cos her head will swell, but she's ever so bright and sharp and a genuine pleasure to have around the office. Remember .. keep that to yourself, won't you ?
	Sarah - Superstar Sales The complete individual - Sarah thinks she's an old lady trapped in a young womans body (don't we all wish that !!). Actually she's really just an old fashioned girl who prefers the traditional. A very definite taste in brooches, rings, shoes and hairstyles - and the chatterbox of the office. Entertaining verbally and visually - that's Sarah !
