“Very polite company”

Debra P.
8/25/24

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.

“Great product, slow shipping”

Sarah O.

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!

Sitejabber for Business

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.
