Januzzi’s Footwear Solutions, founded in Lorain in 1926, has recently completed the latest upgrade in facility and services at the company’s single location in Amherst.
Owners Roland and Connie Januzzi said that the renovations and improvements have been made to correspond with their increasing coordination of services with the local health care community, plus the increasing number of clients who are seeking therapeutic shoe fitting services and traveling from communities within a 100-mile radius.
The improvements and upgrades are also being done in preparation for the celebration of the company’s 100th anniversary of being in business which will take place in 2026.
Januzzi’s Footwear Solutions specializes in providing the best value in properly fit therapeutic shoes and shoe inserts designed for extra support, stability and overall comfort. Many customers are realizing that the products and services being provided by Januzzi’s are far superior to high-dollar marketing competitors who are charging five to ten times as much for similar or lesser quality products and services.
