FRAMINGHAM — The sole remaining shoe store in downtown Framingham, which has been fitting and fixing shoes since World War II, is planning to close. In 2019, Downtown Framingham Inc. presented Panza Shoes with the first Community Cornerstone Award. Panza Shoes had to close for several weeks last spring due to the pandemic. But even after reopening, fewer people felt comfortable entering stores, Panza said. But it's the major selling point at Panza Shoes, with its focus on offering shoes for hard-to-fit feet and helping customers find their perfect size and width.
