Holmes Shoes

Best shoe store ever! I have some issues with my feet (including a painful condition called plantar fasciitis) since I stand my feet every day. A family member AND my podiatrist recommended Dansko shoes. This retail store carries a big variety of Danskos and have properly fit me for 6 styles over the last year or two. I’m not shoe-​obsessed and these shoes are expensive, but this store has helped me adjust the shoes to fit (even adding a felt bumper in one spot and tightening a strap because my left foot is slightly smaller than my right).
Although I’ve been helped by a number of people here, Mimi is the person I like best. She has a great attitude and knows A LOT about shoes. Once in a while, she’ll gently push me to try a different style (or even different manufacturer) and I’ve been really pleased with the results. Here’s the thing… retail stores often end up becoming a showroom for stuff people buy online. You go in, you try on a bunch of stuff, you write down the name of the shoe and brand that fits, you walk out, you go home, and you buy it for less online. It’s true that you may get a better deal now and then, but this place will help you find what really fits AND adjust them for you. I often buy the first pair of a style I like there and then buy another pair online for $ 5 or $ 10 less. That said, the kinds of shoes I wear almost NEVER go on sale… so sometimes I end up getting them at Holmes Shoes instead.
They also have $ 79.00 and $ 59.00 sale table with a buy-​one-​get-​one-​for-​half-​off tables often enough that it’s worth it to go in and check every few weeks when you’re in the Metro Center. Specialists in this store know a lot about how to fit you for your line of business. They have everything from sandals to shoes to sexy shoes and steel-​toed work boots. They can also tell if you’re not wearing the right size, width and style of shoe so that you can buy something that *actually fits* and stop hurting yourself. This also helps you from getting foot problems later (like what I have, or bunions, or corns, etc.) It’s worth it to go here – if only a few times a year to get 1 pair of something that is really good for your feet. Then, if you want to go online and click through 227 pages to try and find it $ 10 cheaper (which washes out when you pay $ 9.95 for shipping), hey, that’s cool. I get it.
Holmes. Awesome place!

Bought steel-​toed safety shoes here. Had called first and they were ready for me when I came in the store. They had a variety of quality choices at different price points for my hard-​to-​fit size and provided competent service. Just across from the farmer’s market.
