Shoe Store Near Me

Kim Guess

Kim has been part of the Brown’s family for eight + years, and what keeps her coming back is simple: customers who leave saying she helped them find exactly what they needed. In her time in Ada she’s worked under six different managers — Kyle is the latest — and she says she’s genuinely enjoyed every one of them, each bringing their own ideas and favorite brands through the door.

At home, Kim is mom to three daughters, including a set of twins, who run both a food truck (burgers are the specialty) and a bakery for custom cakes — Kim’s happy place is helping them dream up new flavors and designs. The family are regular greeters at CrossPoint Church.

Her favorite brands: Hoka, On, and New Balance, though she’ll tell you it’s nearly impossible to pick just one shoe.

Isaiah Blevins

Isaiah is one of Ada’s newest team members, joining the team in August 2026, and he’s already putting his athletic background to work.

He runs cross country and track at East Central University, where he’s earned three state titles, and that competitive background gives him a real appreciation for a properly fitting shoe.

He previously spent two years at a running specialty store in the Oklahoma City area, so he walked in with running-shoe expertise most new hires don’t have.

His favorite shoe: the Brooks Glycerin Max.

Haley Ellison

Haley has been fitting Ada customers for two years while carrying a full course load at East Central University, where she runs track and studies to become a biology teacher.

She loves learning about all the different shoe types Brown’s carries — and admits the employee discount doesn’t hurt either. One story that’s followed her ever since: after helping a customer find the perfect pair of Hokas, he asked for her name, and hearing “Haley” declared, “Just like the comet!” Now he brings up Halley’s Comet every single time he walks through the door.

Fun fact: Haley’s the face (and hands) behind most of the store’s TikToks — and yes, Michael is her little brother.

Her favorite everyday shoes are the On Cloud X5, Cloudmonster, and Cloudsurfer Max; her favorite running shoe is the Hoka Mach 7.

Alyssa Delgado

Alyssa joined the Ada team in March 2026 and spends her off hours at the gym or in class at East Central University, where she’s studying to become a social worker.

She loves getting to know customers well enough that they come back and ask for her by name. Her most memorable fitting: tracking down the perfect sandal for a customer to wear to her granddaughter’s wedding — one that happened to match her dress exactly.

One quick correction she’d love customers to know: her name is pronounced “Aliza,” not “Alyssa.”

Her favorite shoes: New Balance, from lifestyle sneakers to running shoes.

Michael Ellison

Michael is a freshman at ECU working toward becoming an oral surgeon. Michael has been part of the Ada team since early 2026, also running track at East Central University after a high school career that landed him at the state meet every single year.

He loves talking with customers and making real connections while helping them find the right fit. His most memorable moment on the job: helping a woman who’d struggled for years to find shoes that actually fit — she teared up when they finally found the right pair, telling him she’d tried everywhere else before coming to their store.

His favorite shoe: the Brooks Hyperion Elite.

Adrienne Rustin

Adrienne is Ada’s newest addition, also joining the team in August 2026, but she’s already made her mark — on only her second day, she helped a customer find two pairs of shoes without needing any help from a coworker.

Outside the store, she’s hiked the Grand Canyon and is chasing a bigger goal: running all six World Marathon Majors. She’ll knock out her fourth next April in London.

Her philosophy on life: running and ice cream go together perfectly, and she’s not wrong.

Her favorite brands: New Balance, Hoka, and Mount to Coast.
