Carissa's Top Pick
Meet the Manager
Carissa
I grew up in Pella, Iowa, and I’m excited to bring my enthusiasm for shoes and people to the Grinnell community.
I began my journey with Browns Shoe Fit through the apprenticeship in Pella, which then took me to Fort Dodge to continue my training. I am passionate about helping people find shoes that truly fit their lives- whether that’s for work, walking, or everyday comfort.
I love building genuine connections with people and being part of a store that feels welcoming, knowledgeable, and community focused.
When I’m not at the store, I enjoy being outside, staying active, and spending time in the community.
Community Causes
Brown’s Shoe Fit Grinnell is a proud sponsor of Shop with a Cop- a program where the local police department raises money to help kids in lower income homes get Christmas gifts and winter clothing and shoes. The Grinnell Police Department also partnered with us to start a Sock Drive this year, where people bring in a package of new socks to donate and they receive a BSFC gift card. The socks are then donated to MICA (Mid-Iowa Community Action), a local non profit organization, and the Grinnell Newburg School District. We are also proud sponsors of many local clubs and sporting groups, including the Tigers Booster Club.
