Quick Question, how would you describe Yourschoolshoes.com?
 

Answer: “YOURSCHOOLSHOES.COM is a consumer minded company.”

Elaborate?

Answer: Many boast this claim and it sounds cliché-ish but we really are!

In 2008, the concept of school shoes was started after a student joked with our founder. They were at a national church convention, he was serving as a tee-shirt vendor personalizing shirts with an embroidery machine and she was walking by. After seeing the embroidery machine, she stuck her foot next to it and said, “Hey, can you put my school name and mascot on my shoe?”
They both laughed as she walked away but days later, as he drove home, the light bulb went on! “Why aren’t there shoes made specifically for schools?”

After researching what it takes to produce your own line of athletic shoes, our founder discovered, “volume” is the reason why no one had yet to accomplish this feat. Shoe manufactures generally require thousands of pairs of shoes to be produced at once. Thus, making shoes for schools, especially schools with less than 350 students, is counter-productive! 
Needless to say, this news left our founder disheartened! He could not understand why did he have such a good feeling about the product and it appeared the idea had hit a wall. Months would pass and in the wee hours one weekend morning he was awakened with the business plan. He
couldn’t sleep as the thoughts seemed to flow uncontrollably. He grabbed anything he could write on! The instructions were concise and detailed but our founder says, he can remember there being a reoccurring theme to them all. That theme was, “make the shoes affordable, with good quality, and help the kids raise money”. That was the day the fund-raiser approach and the
name PERFORMANCE ATHLETIC APPAREL were birthed.

In 2012, the Yourschoolshoes.com division was created. No real genius behind it, we figured it was much easier for people to remember and tells exactly what we do! Today, Yourschoolshoes.com is proud to be the country’s source for Spirit”foot”wear! With a base of more than 28,000 schools, we remain a “consumer minded” company that is working to hold up to our motto, “Supporting Education From The Ground Up!”
