Most shops in North Idaho pick a lane — you're either a shoe store, a skate shop, or a snowboard dealer. We didn't want to pick.

Here's the thing about living in Coeur d'Alene: the same 16-year-old skating the Riverstone park in July is strapping into a board at Silver Mountain by December, and he's wearing out sneakers doing both. Splitting that customer across three different stores never made sense to us.

So CDA Sole Co. runs all three categories under one roof (and one checkout):

• Shoes — everyday sneakers and boots for the whole panhandle

• Skateboard Setups — complete builds, ready to ride

• Snowboards — gear for Silver and Schweitzer season

If you're local and tired of driving all over Kootenai County for gear, this one's for you. Catalog's live now.
