My name is Brian Wentz and I love footwear. Growing up I spent summers and weekends working in my parents’ shoe store where I learned the in’s and out’s of the shoe business and developed a passion for helping customers. After their local store closed in 2016, I was looking for an outlet to continue to share information and guides about shoes, so I created ShoeReports.com to carry on their legacy of delighting customers by helping them find the perfect pair for their specific needs.
