What Customers Say About Downtown Shooz:

 "I came here after a long day at work in what I consider my "back up shoes" (after discovering my back up shoes were about a size too small). Desperate for a pair of shoes that wouldn't hurt my ailing feet, break the bank, or get hidden at the back of the closet as soon as I got home, I stopped in. And was warmly greeted immediately, and told to take as long as I needed. I finally found something I liked (oh so comfy lined moccasins) and the owner got me the right size and chatted with me while I tried them on (Heaven! Absolute heaven!) and rang them out. The price for them was right (under $50 for warm, comfortable, sturdy shoes I can wear anywhere? Yes, please!) and I'm coming back for more. This store is an awesome little gem, and I will certainly be in here everytime I need a new pair of shoes."

"Love this place! I found out about it because I wanted to buy a new pair of J-41 brand shoes, and found out from their website that Downtown Shooz carries them. Then I went to Yelp and saw that Downtown Shooz got great reviews, so I headed right over there!
The good reviews are well deserved. Great, friendly customer service there, no pressure. I tried on a few pairs of shoes which were really cute but didn't fit quite right, and nobody pressured me to buy them. In fact, the older geletleman who I think owns the store suggested a different model which I ended up really liking and buying! He is very nice and friendly, as are the other ladies who were working there. Looks like  a nice place to work, and it's definitely a nice place to shop! I love my shoes and I'll definitely come back again. They had a good selection of good quality shoes and boots. There is a pair of Frye biker boots calling out my name there......"
