One of central Ohio's most iconic, family-owned shoe stores is closing after 67 years. Easton Shoes on Henderson Road in Upper Arlington began the final sale of all of its remaining merchandise on Monday. The owners, husband and wife Lenny and Marcia Comeras, said the closure is due to the ongoing fallout from the coronavirus pandemic. Sales suffered, the store couldn't stay fully staffed, the couple was unable to acquire some of the merchandise they needed, and COVID-related restrictions took their toll. He said he'll miss serving longtime customers, but he said he'll be glad not to have to deal with trauma and grief from the pandemic.
