I hunted high and low for this shoe and finally found it here, half a size smaller than I normally wear--but that's only 1/8 of an inch. Good PF support. Good ease for bunions. Very cute.
I was happy to find these shoes in stock, since they were out of stock most places I looked. The shoes are awesome, cute, comfortable, warm, and true to size...but they took 19 days to arrive! I do live in Alaska but USPS has flat rate to Alaska that arrives within a week, year round. When I contacted the seller they told me shipping to Alaska could take up to 14 days. Of course it can...but does it usually? (No!) I've been up here 23 years and buy stuff online all the time, I know how long it takes for stuff to arrive. 19 days is too long, and is way outside the normal time. I think they used one of those partner shipping methods, where it starts out with UPS and transfers to USPS so maybe that's why it took an eternity to arrive. Other than that, totally happy with my purchase!

Only store that had this shoe.
Wanted B/W Vionic sneaker
This is my go to shoe shop for quality and comfort. They carry a good selection of different label shoes and all are quality. Some shoe designers fit my feet better than others. I really like Naot and Vionic and can count on a good fit and comfort walking.
This is my usual store/
I wanted silver shoes for travel and walking that still looked good.
Very easy to navigate and check out.
I only wish there were more shoes of my style to choose from. H
Because they sent me a reminder of the rewards
Good price, quick delivery and I LOVE my shoe! These were recommended for trail walking and a wide toe box. I love them.
My past experience.
Very good! Just ordered for the first time. I am very pleased with the service from Footwear Etc. Highly recommend!
Looking for atrex shoes
Arrived in 2 days. A week before expected. 100% satisfied with the product, price and efficient delivery.
Best online price
Pikolinos fit true to size, a quality product that lasts many years.
My on line ordering process went smoothly but delivery is always difficult due to Footwear not delivering to a PO Box.
Fit Flops on sale
The shoes are not 860s but upon removing the elastic from the tung the shoes became very comfortable
I love this brand and Footwear, Inc.
However I cannot tell you how frustrating it is to go in to a Footwear store, and over and over and over again not find my size that I need which is 35/36. It's ridiculous and I feel very dissatisfied with so few small sizes
Great quality construction and comfortable shoes
High arch support, great summer sandal, super cushion shoe
Great shoes
Checked again to see if the color and size were available, and found it!
Appreciated the sales!
All went well this is second pair for me in a different color. These sandals are very comfortable.
Existing customer that loves shoe selection at footwear
Great brand name that are comfortable
Comfort and style
Everything went off without the slightest hitch. Will order from Footwear again!
Have worn pair like that for walking and liked the snug fit and cushioning.
Was very pleased with the order. I had this shoe a few years ago, when I was ready for another pair, because they were so comfortable, I was told Ecco wasn't making that line any longer, but then I recall seeing the lite item on your web site, but it also said that the shoe would not be available for 6 months, sometime in July, then much to my surprise Footwear notified me that the shoe was in stock and I could order a pair, which I did, I received them and do I ever love them, I just wish Ecco would produce this one and so everyone could have a pair.
I had asked to be notified when a certain size of a shoe would come in back in stock, I knew it was not going to be available for a few months, but Footwear came through, I was notified today that it is available
I shop in the store on Lincoln ave, but it is closed this week for a remodel, I reallly love the staff there, they are so helpful, and they have so many styles, if they don't have it they will get it. I sure miss that store, but it will open next week. I have these shoes in black, omg are they ever comfortable, can't wait for the light blue, Reiker is the best fitting shoe ever.!
Perfect, found a shoe I have been looking for in my size
Make & style
I was in the store today, bought 2 pair, looked on line when I got home, I noticed that the ones I like have a limited stock, so I quickly placed an order.
I have never seen such a variety in a catalog and amazing sale prices. I wish the stores were in Oregon as well as California. It was a totally painless purchase with great follow up and service. Thank you for the little touches like a hand signed note in the box.
Looking for boots
Previous Rieker purchaser
Footwear etc. has a wonderful selection of beautiful shoes. For someone who has problem feet this is really a plus because a lot of the shoes have good arch support which I need. Footwear etc. has great customer service also.
Great selection.
I purchased these shoes before and was satisfied so wanted to reorder.
I have had good experience with the quality of shoes I have purchased from Footwear etc. The best part of shopping at the Encinitas store is the extraordinary customer service. In particular, Tara, has been friendly, attentive, and efficient in every interaction I have had with her. While I might be able to buy shoes online, Tara's professionalism and her help keep me coming back to this store.
Tip for consumers:
Excellent employees at the Encinitas store

Great easy site to navigate and user friendly. Will recommend to others that are seeking hard to find shoes that may be sold out or unavailable on other sites. Love all the way from New Jersey!
Footwear ect was my go to shoe store in Northern California but my experience at the Encinitas store has been less than stellar. I once stood by the counter waiting to pay while the manager trained a new employee. From what I heard she doesn't treat her workers very well and wouldn't it be a better learning experience to actually demonstrate how a customer should be treated by ringing up my order? I could have walked out but I had invested time to find the right shoes and didn't want to start over. If you want to have customers shouldn't you stop what you are doing and pay attention to the customer or at least acknowledge that I am here. I will only order online now.
Good selection, cute shoes that are also supportive for old ladies like myself who still want to wear fashionable shoes.
Since I don’t want to go to the store (see above) I thought from the picture that these had good shape and support. Also they were on sale. Shoe prices are ridiculous now.
We like your shoes.
Most brands we already own and like.

Footwear, Etc. provides such a variety of shoes! It is great to know there's one source to go to to find shoes with a great fit that help alleviate pain and discomfort
So stylish and yet great for walking. Love the zipper feature
Footwear was the only place I could find my size in the navy they're
I have another pair in sage green that I love
Product is awesome, timing took to long, we needed them in three days, there were no options for military or senior discounts, didn't have black top and white bottom is what I really really needed.
Ok
My always work shoes, you didn’t have what I really needed

I received a prompt but somewhat condescending email reply about how long shipping takes to Alaska. I've been here forever, I buy products all the time, I know how long stuff takes to arrive. If you can't fix your customer service issue (ie you can't make it arrive faster), the representative should be polite, say "I'm sorry, that must be frustrating, I'll provide feedback to my manager about shipping methods" not, "our policy says it can take up to 14 days to arrive to Alaska". Especially when it was 19 days anyway, which is outside of the shipping time!!!
They had the color and size in stock at a reasonable price
I like Taos shoes and needed a nicer looking winter shoe
I live in Midwest and have been looking at these shoes all summee. I currently have a pair i bought locally in March. The store I bought them no longer has this style. I wanted another pair because they fit so well. I found them on line at Footwear who i never heard of, I called in order and had the absolute nicest customer service person who explained Footwear is a west coast company and confirmed they had my shoes and I could return them if they did not fit. Shoes came on time and they were perfect. It was so nice to talk to som
They had what i wanted in my size
Found specific shoes I wanted and in the size I needed. Delivery quick and in time for an event I had.
Online search for specific shoe and size.
Replacement for shoes I had for awhile.
