At this point, saving 30% sounds mighty nice. So we’re checking out Sole Comfort in Corona del Mar Plaza through Christmas Eve to save on great gifts such as shoes, slippers, jewelry, travel accessories and more. And in the true spirit of the season, Sole Comfort is also currently collecting gently worn shoes for Soles 4 Souls. When a customer donates a pair of shoes, they will receive $20 off a new pair of shoes at Sole Comfort. 

Soles 4 Souls is an international organization that collects the shoes and distributes them to people in need around the world, from victims of Hurricane Katrina to orphanages in South America and Africa. Sole Comfort offers a variety of top brands in men’s and women’s comfort shoes, including Mephisto, Taryn Rose, Ecco, Dansko, Naot and more. In addition to a large selection of travel items the store also carries handbags, and many other accessories. Sole Comfort is at Corona del Mar Plaza, at MacArthur Blvd. and Pacific Coast Hwy. in Newport Beach. 949.644.5939.
