An old-school, sit-and-fit shoe store has opened a new location on the southwest side of town.

Tucson-based Alan’s Shoes has opened in a 4,400-square-foot space at the Spectrum shopping center, near Interstate 19 and West Irvington Road.

“This location is ideal for Alan’s Shoes because nearby families prefer the top-quality brands we offer,” said Alan Miklofsky, the company’s president and CEO. “There is really no better shopping within a 10-mile radius (and) it’s the first and last major retail stop before the border, so it’s a popular destination for cross-border shoppers.”

Alan and Annette Miklofsky started Alan’s Shoes in 1982 and have four locations.

They offer specialty widths and sizes of shoes, as well as custom fitting.

The new shop is located at 5373 S. Calle Santa Cruz, Suite 161 — next door to Peter Piper Pizza at the Spectrum.
