“Appreciate that you have the shoe I need in stock (Hoka...”

Ashley M.
1/9/24

Appreciate that you have the shoe I need in stock (Hoka bondi sr white womens 7 W, on backorder at hoka.com). I ordered a 7.5W last week, and it's too long, and it's a minor hassle to have to place a new order, ship my old order back, and get charged a $12.95 fee. But I understand a small business can't provide everything for free, like a major chain. You're doing fine - I just need some comfy shoes for work like yesterday!

“Is this site even for real?”

Julie S.
12/26/23

I searched for my size and brand of shoe and it came up as available for sale at a very reasonable price - and miraculously, they only had my exact size. What luck! Only, they emailed me the next day and told me they are sorry, but they don't have this model in stock after all. Would I like to apply my credit towards another model? While they did immediately refund my money as requested, they still show up in my search for that model and size shoe.

I thought this can only be a sandal like all others. Once I received it and put it on my foot, I could not believe the instant relief and comfort it provided. If you are on your feet a lot and need comfort and relief from a hard days work, get these! I wear them in the morning around the house and at night when I get home from work. You will not regret it! I have never worn a sandal like this one EVER!

I was looking for some specific Aetrex styles and this store had the styles I wanted for the best prices and I prefer to shop local or small businesses instead of the huge "jungle" site. I live in Nebraska but these came pretty fast and were nicely packaged with a personally signed note thanking me for my order.

Reason I chose this business:

Product availability and I like to support businesses instead of huge sites.

Reason I chose this product:

Comfort and style… love Aetrex!

Gain trust and grow your business with customer reviews.

From the business

Thank you for your interest in Footwear etc. Our headquarters is located in California, and we're now celebrating over 30 years of great customer service. We're a family run business, which started as one store, but has grown to 11 locations along with our online store. Simply stated, we're old fashioned when it comes to the way we treat our customers. We pride ourselves on making people happy.

Why should you shop with us? In addition to our great customer service, we carry what we feel are the best products in footwear today. If it's uncomfortable, we simply don't sell it. You'll also talk to real people when you call in. Each staff member is trained, friendly and solution-oriented. In addition to comfort, we focus on remedying common problems in the feet and legs. (Check out our great selection on these types of products, and feel free to ask us what style we recommend just for you.)

Additionally, we never stop searching for the most comfortable and fashionable footwear from around the world -- so you don't have to! For example, we have the largest selection of MBT shoes and Vionic... and get new shipments in every week from Arcopedico, Taos, and Ziera... and we explore the latest, greatest brands such as Hoka One One. Plus, our wide assortments of styles from brands like Dansko, Naot, Clarks, New Balance, Mephisto, and Birkenstock are often better than what even the original manufacturer sites has to offer. For these (and many more) reasons, we've managed to make hundreds of thousands of feet... happy feet!

So what are you waiting for? Shop online, in-stores, or even by phone. Our shoppers enjoy the best footwear assortment combined with our award-winning customer service. If you happen to be near one of our retail locations, stop in to say hello! Our helpful and courteous sales staff will get you measured, answer any questions you may have, and offer their best recommendations. Thanks again for stopping by!

Business History

Footwear etc. Started in 1986 in Palo Alto, California. The company has grown to 11 stores throughout California and is still family owned and run! We launched our website way back in 1996 and have been shipping orders worldwide ever since. We have always prided ourselves on our award-winning customer service and selection of the best comfort fashion brands available.
