Thanks to everyone who made a purchase on Thursday or added to the tip jar to help support Haskell’s employees. It was really great to have a few Haskell’s team members stop in during the day. We love that our community is so deeply connected to the institutions and people that make Excelsior unique.

Mother’s Day shoe buying tips:

1. Take a picture of her current shoes
2. Take a picture of the size tag inside

It’s a huge help to make sure mom gets the latest model of her favorite shoe in the correct size.

Of course gift cards are always available if mom wants to come in for a personalized fitting with our experienced staff.

Any iconic establishment is remembered for people more than anything else. The people you met there. The people who worked there. Our hope is that it’s rebuilt, and those people come together again.

Hi all, thank you so much for the flood of kind words of encouragement.

It’s a very special edition of the Thursday Night Jogging Club on May 7th at 6:30 pm. Test out the ASICS Superblast 3 on the run. There’s a lot of buzz about this super trainer and it’s your opportunity to try a pair on the run.

Try to arrive a little early to be fitted for demo shoes. It’s going to be a super night.
