Anyone who has experienced foot problems knows how important it is to find shoes that are the right fit. And it isn’t always easy — sometimes you need the help of an expert to figure out what you need. I’ve been there myself. I grappled for almost a year with painful plantar fasciitis, and what finally solved my problem was finding supportive shoes I would actually wear because they were also cute. So I really enjoyed having the opportunity to interview Rick Ravel, president of one of Austin’s oldest independent shoe stores, Karavel Shoes.
