The Chiappetta Shoes culture is very important for everyone in the organization as well as the future. What makes us, us is comprised of these values:

We practice confidence, pride, compassion and empathy.

When executing problem-solution based sales, these four values are of utmost importance. Confidence comes from knowing what you are talking about and having a deep and wide knowledge base of a customer’s problem. Pride comes from offering great solutions, ones that can empower a person to change for the better. Compassion allows us to actually learn and care about a customer. Empathy is what gives our solutions value; we ask ourselves would this be good enough for yourself, for your own mother? One of our mantras is from a Maya Angelou’s quote: “people will forget what you said, people will forget what you did, but people will never forget how you made them feel.”

We look to be leaders in our family and community.

Hey we’re people-people! And as a heritage member of Kenosha and the South Eastern Wisconsin region, we have a name to live up to that has spanned multiple generations. We treat our community like our family, with love, respect, and patience. Chiappetta Shoes has been the elected the Best Shoe Store in Kenosha since 2014 and we intend to keep that run going!

We are aware of everything; what the new shoes will be for next season, what our competitors are doing and planning, and everything in between. We are contributors; when we spot trends, we report, we analyze, and we profit. Creativity comes from knowledge, and creativity is what creates competitive advantages. Having a smart and imaginative workforce is vital to a small business.
