Soles Shoes By: Peter Galindez '23 and Caden Olenczak '23

Soles Shoes is the local shoe boutique in Pottstown. As winter turns into spring, Soles Shoes is getting new stock for the upcoming season. Opened in July 2021, Soles Shoes has been growing ever since. The owner, Tamika Malachi, loves running a local business because “it keeps me in constant contact with the neighborhood. We see different people every day; different people come in here. And it's great not just for the store, but we are all meeting new people,” Malachi said.

The shelves of shoes are stocked in Soles Shoes. “All different colors, we'll be getting more and doing more styles of sneakers, not just New Balance and Nike, we’ll be bringing in other brand sneakers. As far as lady shoes, I can't wait until the heels come in, that's what I'm excited about,” Malachi said. Photo by Caden Olenczak '23

“We also have a non-profit organization. We have been serving Pottstown for the last four years, it is called Joule 4 Jesus Ministries. We help the families of non-violent, ex-offender women," Malachi said. This is an overview of the location where Soles Shoes conducts its business. Photo By Caden Olenczak '23

Malachi said, “The motto, A SHOEtique for the YOUnique, is something different - that's what the motto stands for.” The Soles Shoes outside decor catches passerbys' attention. Photo by Caden Olenczak '23

When heading inside, not only are shoes sold but clothing as well. “I think of myself as an amateur stylist. So when people come in I'm able to match a shirt with a pair of sneakers, that's the type of stuff that I look forward to,” said Malachi. Photo by Caden Olenczak '23
