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.

It's nice to shop at a place that has quality shoes. Too many cheap options out there that are terrible for your feet, knees, and hips. If you're a traveler or on the go, this is the place to find your shoes.

Best website! Best service!
May 3, 2025
Updated review

This was my first time ordering from Footwear etc. I ordered Hokas and they were the only site with inventory of my requirement. Previously I ordered from hoka. Com. However they could not fill my order. I loved footwear, etc. product selection, ease of navigating through the site, keeping me constantly updated regarding the status of my order and happily delivering it sooner than I anticipated. I also thought it was a personal touch to get a note, signed by the worker who filled my order. Thank you for the great customer service and I will certainly spread the word and look forward to future orders. Kudos!

It is too early in the season, but I was able to use the adjustable straps to set the sandals up for my foot configuration. It does seem excessive strapping, but clearly these shoes are well designed. I have narrow feet so that may be the issue too. I love my Hoka sneakers, so after a summer's wear I will know more.

Great visuals and selection
April 2, 2025
Previous review

Great visuals and selection. I think it such a privilege that I live in a time where these wonderful shoe selections are available. At age 84 they make it possible for me to walk my two dogs 3 - 4 miles a day effortlessly. Hi tech is controversial for sure, but in this instance, it is a marvel. Thank you all so much for your efforts in creating wondrous shoes and sandals.
