erry Lawton, owner of the Footpath in downtown Auburn, started the business in 1982 after selling shoes for many years in the Grass Valley area. As Jerry is turning toward retirement, he is giving the business to his children. The store is family owned and operated with Co-Owners Mike Lawton and Carolyn Bartsch (Lawton’s children). The brother and sister team have been working in the store for many years. Carolyn started in 1983 and Mike started in 1996 giving them a combination of 58 years of experience. “Our slogan is, ‘We’re here solely for your comfort’ and we do our best to live up to that every day, through quality products and friendly customer service,” said Lawton. Lawton’s personal preference in shoes is based on both comfort and style. “Our shoes are perfect for professionals or anyone looking for comfort all day long,” said Lawton. “We have brands like Birkenstock, Dansko, Keen, Merrell, SAS, UGG and many more. We carry several brands designed to help alleviate foot pain caused by planter fasciitis.”
