About Tina Aldatz Norris
Tina
Aldatz Norris founded Foot Petals in April 2002. As an 11-year Fashion
Industry veteran, Tina noticed there was something lacking in the
marketplace for stylish women who enjoy wearing high heels, but still
want to be comfortable A Special Events and Merchandising Director for
BCBG Max Azria in New York at the time, Tina was always on the go. It
was important for her to look stylish, and feel comfortable. Tina
refused to succumb to the skirt and sneaker look, which many New
Yorkers fall prey to, just for the sake of comfort. Instead she bought
bulky orthopedic insoles from drugstores, cutting and pasting them to
fit all of her various shoe styles. Thus, the Foot Petals collection
was born and continues to grow just as your shoe collection does,
because your feet don't have to suffer to be beautiful. Currently, Foot
Petals, Inc. is a female-owned and operated company based in Southern
California. Foot Petals products are sold in the finest retail shops in
the world and online.
