About Journeys
Replacing a pair of shoes usually starts as a small errand and turns into a longer one once fit turns out to matter more than expected, which is why a bench, a measuring stick and a mirror still beat a screen for the job. Journeys trades from 2271 Harvey Avenue in the Dilworth area, sharing that address with eighty-seven other businesses gathered under a single roof.
Footwear shops fall into camps, and knowing which one you are walking into saves time. Casual and street footwear is a different business from running and hiking specialists who watch your gait and stock technical fits, and different again from suppliers of work boots with safety ratings to satisfy. Sizing varies between brands by enough to matter, so bring the socks you actually intend to wear, try both feet, and walk a few laps rather than standing still. Asking what is in the back in your size, rather than shopping only from what is out on the wall, regularly turns up more choice than the display suggests.
Call 250-448-7660 before making the trip if a specific size or model matters, since stock in a mall unit turns over quickly through a season. The Harvey corridor position puts the store within a short drive of most of Kelowna, and the centre takes care of parking, which is no small thing in July. Anyone kitting out for a valley summer tends to start here, whether that means the beaches along the Lower Mission, the flat lakeside routes, or the trails climbing above Glenmore and Black Mountain where the ground is a good deal rougher.

Where to shop in Kelowna: three centres and a market
Kelowna's retail splits into three non-overlapping centres, and knowing which one you need saves an afternoon of driving. Bernard's boutiques, Pandosy's independents, the highway belt's boxes, and the farmers market above them all.
