Friendly, knowledgeable, accommodating staff! I will not go anywhere else to buy my Dansko shoes, I have never been treated better than here. Great selection, clean and stocked store. My first pair of Dansko clogs and they educated me on the break in, how to care for them and what to expect out of them on the occupation they're being used for. Plus, the pair I chose, got a beautiful discount on cost, total win for me! read more

I have had several A+ experiences at A Proper Fit. They understand how to fit all ages. They notice important features of your foot (like if you have bunions) and watch how you walk in the new shoes. My 94 year old mother had a wobble that I didn't notice. The fit expert noticed and got a different athletic shoe. They are honest. When the clerk realized I hadn't gotten the discount from the previous visit, she applied it to my account for my next purchase. Lastly, they bend over backwards to satisfy the customer. They truly want you to be happy with your new shoes! read more

i now live in arkansas and they will happily send me what ever i need a simple phone call doop beep sent its great always warm and friendly read more

I recently bought two pairs of shoes at Proper fit. The young man that waited on me was very nice. Unfortunately, the one pair of shoes didn't fit, right. I decided to return them since they cost over two hundred dollars. I believe it was the owner wife that waited on me, she was very rude to me, and made me very uncomfortable. They have a nice selection of shoes, so all probably go back, but I will definitely not deal with her. read more

Customer service very bad and rude attitudes like they hate their job. I will not be returning to shop here ever again. They need to be trained on how to treat people like how they would like to be treated. read more

See all

Service is phenomenal! Prices are reasonable, small discount for medical professionals- very grateful for that! The selection of shoes are no doubt current and sale section had great deals! read more

Came in with my mother in law who was in desperate need of new shoes and she wanted Birkenstocks . She needed help and advice since she has some mobility issues . They were great , like a real old school shoe store helping get her fitted and providing advice . She ended up walking out with 3 pairs ! They have a fantastic selection of Birkenstocks and other well made shoes and sandals . Highly recommend read more

My wife needed custom orthotics to deal with a variety of foot problems. The orthotics necessitated getting new shoes with some very specific requirements. Proper Fit Footwear did an amazing job of finding exactly the right shoes with a perfect fit and this has made all the difference in her being able to walk again. This is a real shoe store, not a big box store masquerading as a shoe store and the people there know what they are doing. Huge selection as well. read more

Dumbfounded! I stopped in to spend $150.00 on a pair of nice Birkenstock sandals. I tell the sales woman what style, size and I sit down in a chair to take my shoes off. The saleswomen asks if I would move to a different chair in case another customer came in. She also told me I should not buy a new pair of Birkenstock sandals to go on vacation and they need to be broken in. At this point I just felt disrespected at the request about the chair so I got up and left the store. I called as I was driving out of the parking lot to let the owner know he just lost a sale and why. I was told he was busy and requested he call me. That was 2 weeks ago and he never bothered. Not only did he lose my business forever, I spent $150.00 at the Birkenstock store in Old Town San Diego. So much for supporting in-state and local businesses. What a waste of my time at this store. Who cares what chair I sit in? Remove the damn chair if you don't want your customers to sit there! Zero stars read more

Very professional, patient, and knowledgeable staff. Left with the perfect pair of shoes. Very happy with my purchase and will definitely be back. read more

I'm a men's 14-W. Not a lot of selection in the real world of shoe buying. BUT, these folks had several quality brands and selections. They were patient and polite in helping me get the shoes I needed, and I'm happy to be supporting a small family business. Thank you for being here, and may your success continue. read more

My husband and I were both referred for different issues to Mike here at A Proper Fit by our master pedicurist at Footprints to Wellness. My husband was referred there because he had hard calluses on his feet that were keeping proper foot care more difficult and uncomfortable. I was referred there because I recently developed sciatica and knew I probably wasn't wearing the best shoes to help with that. My husband asked for whatever the best shoe/orthotic is for his situation, but also slip-on, and vegetarian (no leather/suede), and they found him a great shoe and fitted him properly and with an orthotic. He wears them every day, and our pedicurist has pointed out the positive effect they caused with his calluses! I asked for whatever the best shoe/orthotic is for his situation, but also vegetarian (no leather/suede). He watched how I walked in my current shoes and looked at my arches, and concluded that the leg my sciatica is affecting is pronated inwards. He said I would need a shoe that was much stiffer than what I was wearing, to keep my ankle from leaning in, and with orthotics and an extra wedge for support, and he got me a great shoe first try. He even asked if I was in pain at that moment, that he could tell I was, so he was sensitive to that. They double checked no animal products used, only fabric. They're bigger than the type of shoe I'm used to wearing, but they're even a bit pretty. More importantly, they feel great and immediately seemed to take some of the more intense sciatica pressure off. I'm going to be wearing them every day too! He also recommended acupuncture and a chiropractor who can help with limb measuring. We also each purchased a pair of slippers that he recommended that offer the support we both need. We know confidently when we walk in, that Mike will take thorough time to assess what we best need, and that we will walk out with shoes that will make us feel great and last us a long time. Thank you! read more

We came here so that I could get a new pair of work boots. They offer brands such as Keen, Dansko and Uggs. They're not the cheapest shoes, but we have been very happy how they have been taking care of our feet. My Keen work boots have been the most comfortable work boots I've ever owned. I purchased my last pair here about 2 years ago. I wanted to get the same style and size but unfortunately they didn't have my size in stock. I was told they could order them and we be here in 7 to 10 days. So they looked up my size to verify from the last purchase. I think it's awesome that they keep a history of your purchases for reference. They will give me a call when they come in. Service has been great every time we come in. read more

A Proper Fit Footwear - Shoe Stores Near Me - Reno, Nevada

I somehow forgot to replace my shoes (all of them!) for way too long and was having serious back pain. It was a little tricky for me to get here because of the hours but once I did- hooray! Casey (sp?) was amazingly helpful. I have orthotics so she was able to see what I needed - I'd tell her the general kind of shoe I wanted and she would disappear into the back and come back out with several pairs to choose from/try on. She spent over an hour with me, providing tons of advice and feedback. She was so patient! And helpful. I ended up getting walking/gym shoes, hiking shoes, and two pairs of cute Alegria shoes for work. My back feels SO much better!! The prices were completely reasonable for 'good' shoes and this store has a fantastic selection of shoes that are supportive but not ugly there are even some rainbow glitter Dansko clogs! I really wish they had fit! I'd been trying shoes from so many places- REI, Zappos, DSW, Amazon, Nordstrom Rack, Alegria online- it was driving me crazy. Next time I will just start with Casey! It will save me so much time and frustration and ultimately- money. Having good shoes is 100% worth it and A Proper Fit made it so easy. Very grateful! read more

I was so delighted to find a pair of shoes that were comfortable and fit my foot after my surgery. Unfortunately, I discovered the shoes had something popping up through the sole and while my orthotics would likely cover it, I didn't want to damage my expensive orthotics. Plus if I had to remove the orthotics due to foot swelling, this "pop" up would hurt my heal. So I called to ask them for an exchange. They insisted I come in so they could "fix" them. I had just spent $180 on a pair of new shoes. I didn't want them fixed, but exchanged for a new pair. Unfortunately, they didn't have my size in the store so I asked if they could order me a new pair for the exchange although they kept insisting I get them fixed instead. In the process, I was belittled for having no faith in their ability to fix shoes. I can understand getting shoes fixed after having them for a period of time, but these shoes had never been worn. It saddens my greatly that customers would be treated this way. So please beware. If you purchase from this store, I would be sure of what you want, inspect your shoes for any defects, and don't plan on doing any exchanges. And while the lady who helped me purchase them was lovely and very helpful, I will not be back after the way I was treated. Everyone deserves to get a brand new pair of shoes (especially for $180) without having to bring them in to get fixed before you even wear them. read more

Overpriced... when called out on it said they price match, but then refused to let me look at the style number or RN# so that I could make sure I looked up the exact same shoe online. Customer #1 *tries on New Balance shoes* Customer #2 *I think these are cheaper online" Sales Lady "Those are a different style, the shoes on your phone are this other pair on our wall." Customer # 2: "would you price match those ones for the exact same shoe?" Sales Lady "yes" Customer #1 "Oh okay well if we can find this other style on the new balance or other website will you price match it?" Sales Lady "Yes I'll price match if it's the same show" Customer #1 *takes off shoe and starts looking inside the tongue of the shoe for the SKU or RN # , looks up and asks sales lady for help/to check the shoe box for the style number instead..." Sales Lady: "what are you doing?!" Customer 1: "I'm trying to check for the style number to look it up online and make sure I'm showing you the exact same shoe so that you'll match the price!" Sales Lady *LITERALLY rips shoe out of my hand* saying sternly "you can't have that!" Sales Man comes over: "That's COMPLETELY inappropriate here!" Customer #1's brother: "it's completely inappropriate to look up the shoes online?" Sales man: "Yes I'm sorry!" Customer #1 "why?!" Sales: "like I said it's completely inappropriate" Customer #1 "but why is it inappropriate?!" *Sales lady starts walking towards the back furiously* Salesmen: "because we're the ones that fit you and you wanna do business with someone else!" Customer #2 "but we're trying to buy them from you and have you price match them!" Salesman "we don't do that!" Customers brother "you don't price match?" Customer #1 "that lady said you'd price match the same shoes!" Salesman "absolutely not thanks for asking though!" Actually flabbergasted, this is not a word I ever use but it's THAT ludacris. You don't think people are going to look these up online? If you don't want to price match that's fine I totally get it! You're a small business and may need extra margin to get by! But if you explained that to me I would be totally fine with it, I would respectfully say "oh that's fine I get it! I'm just not willing to pay that amount." Instead they assumed I was somehow undermining their business and being extremely rude! It's 2021... your customer service matters! read more

mike has been fitting my developmentally disabled son . for years always makes sure that everything is right before we leave!! always very accommodating and kind. never rushes the process and we leave happy and fitted with a new pair of shoes! would recommend him to anyone. his wife and son are equally professional. would recommend them for all your shoe needs thank you. joanne. read more

Fantastic customer service! I came in about 5pm on a Wednesday (during COVID CRAZINESS) looking for an inner sole to relieve my sore feet. Although I had newish sneakers (Hokas less than a year old) I discovered from my time here that the bottoms were already worn out and the size was too small. The nice lady set me up with some arch support insoles as well as some new sneakers by New Balance in a size and a half bigger than usual, along with some socks. I left about an hour later feeling very special and taken care of! read more

I am a veteran and I have big feet! More so since wearing Army boots for years! So, now that I am older and suffering from Neuropathy in my Right foot, curled-up and lots of broken toes, and an ankle replacement, I have difficulty finding any shoes let alone ones that have a "toe" box, so I mainly wear sandals. The VA gives me one pair of inserts and shoes a year. I went to another place that "made" inserts for me, but they and the shoes I got never fit right. But this year I got to go here. What a neat experience. First off, I felt comfortable. I have to get men's shoes now, but Analie, Gladis, and Mike watched me stand, walk, and finally came up with the "perfect" PROPER fit. I now have inserts that work, because I needed a metatarsal pad. I hope to return here and find more types of shoes and watch their "sale" rack for some great deals. If you need help finding good shoes and inserts, do yourself a favor and go here. read more

EXCEPTIONAL customer service. Everyone working here is nice and helpful. I was immediately greeted by Annaleigh, she asked me what I was in for, what kind of shoe I was looking for, what kind of floor I worked on, how long on my feet, what my current shoes were, the whole 9 yards,l. She measured my feet and brought back 4 different options for me to try on. Asked me if I had any pressure or pain on any of my feet, had me walk around and feel the shoe out. Honestly, the attention to detail just for a work shoe was phenomenal. She told me that the shoe that you wear every day should be an investment so you don't develop any foot pain and problems when you get older, making sure you can walk comfortably by the time you're 50. I walked out of there with a new great pair of work shoes, some Birkenstock's, and some compression socks. I will definitely be back to this little shop inside old towne mall. I'm also happy to see that they are a locally owned business and have been around for quite a while! read more

Stopped in to see if we could score some shoes for my daughter for her bunion issue. This place is all about the service - we spent at least 30 minutes in the store trying on different shoes and while we picked up one set of shoes, we could not find a match for dress shoes. The person helping us actually referred us to a competitor to see if we could find what we needed. That level of customer service was a shock and really appreciated. read more

Bought a pair a sandals here recently. I told sales lady my size but she insisted that I need to go bigger with the brand and they will conform to my foot but after a day of wearing them they are completely too big and falling off my feet. When I called to explain what happened the man who answered the phone was rude and dismissive. Not even an apology for the situation. Bad customer service. read more

I rarely give five stars but in this case I want to. I went in yesterday to look for a pair of shoes for my upcoming walking tour, and Chris helped me to select the most comfortable pair of shoes I've ever worn. I say he helped me - it would be more accurate to say that he convinced me to try on yet another pair of shoes that turned out to fit my feet way better than the pair I had already made up my mind to buy. I've never met a more knowledgeable or helpful shoe salesperson. I have always thought that it was my job to break in new shoes until they were more or less comfortable. These were pure comfort straight out of the box, and I feel as if I'm going to be able to walk forever. Thanks, Chris! I'll be back. read more

If the shoe fits . . . I am a very happy person. Getting the right footwear can really make a difference in your overall feeling of comfort and wellbeing. Having suffered a lifetime of foot related problems, I cannot begin to express how happy I am that we have a high quality place like A Proper Fit Footwear here in Reno. We have been coming to this business off and on for years since they were at there old location further north on Virginia Street. I am glad to see that they have been able to expand their product offerings in the larger space they now have in the Old Town Mall. They are truly a professional shoe store with staff who are knowledgable about getting the fight fit for the customer. They do not specialize in the trendy, strappy, instruments of torture that while more fashionable are woefully impractical for women who actually would like to be able to walk during the day. They do carry high quality casual, work athletic and business shoes in high end brands such as Dansko, Ugg, Birkenstock, Spira, Brako and Haflinger. My feet are happy, I am happy. read more

The workers were not helpful or welcoming at all. I didn't feel comfortable nor did I "fit" their demographics. I went in to get some comfy shoes for a graduation. They are not friendly at all. Basically they looked me up and down. This store was not for me. read more

I have never had my feet measured or fit before, but knew I needed it. Jasmine greeted myself and my husband promptly and immediately saw to our needs. I was extremely impressed with her knowledge and competency. She informed me of some arch issues I didn't even know I had. What I thought I was doing to help my feet was actually hurting them. After Jasmine fit me with some insoles and shoes I was raving about how they felt to my husband who then decided to get fitted himself. Turns out he was wearing too small of a shoe and had a long arch. He got some new insoles and shoes as well. It's only been two days but already I can tell a huge difference in my shoes, foot pain, leg pain, and feeling supported when I walk. I highly recommend this locally owned place and Jasmine! She is incredible and competent. I'm thankful I chose to come here over a popular place nearby with several locations and more expensive prices! Personal care, knowledgeable staff, and reasonable prices. I'll be back for more shoes soon! read more

I went to a couple of boot stores here in town and couldn't find an XX Wide Steel toes work boot to fit my wide feet. I went into A Proper Fit on my way to work and was under a time crunch. Chris greeted me and I told him what I was looking for and he found the perfect shoe at a price much less lower than I expected to pay. Composite toe and arch support. Nice. I'm going to recommend them to everyone at work. Great job Chris. Thanks. read more

We went in today looking for Boston Birkenstocks. Not only did we find what we needed, but we were immediately greeted by Gladys. She was the sweetest soul and eager to help us with all that we needed. Gladys even offered to drill new holes in the straps to have them fit better. A truly great experience. Thank you. read more

Service started out great, I needed new shoes for work, they measured me.. got me a size 10 wide and they felt great, then let's try this... they got me size 11 wide.. I told them it's to loose and they said it what you need.. Proper fit, learn the word. So I returned those, you think I killed their dog the way they acted. Now I have 10 double wide, so loose I can't wear.. all I wanted was 10 w.. it must have been last pair and they couldn't part with , also wrote final sale on receipt, so I'm stuck with 169.99 shoes that I can not wear.. listen to customer and don't say try this.. bait and switch read more

I came here to get a pair of work shoes, and I was told my shoes should be size 11, (which I have NEVER worn) as I have always comfortably been in a size 10. The sales lady insisted that I have to wear a bigger size because "it's more natural for the foot." I tried to refuse because that made no sense to me, but because I had my mother with me and she insisted, I bought them. In short, the shoes did NOT fit at all and were extremely uncomfortable to wear at work. I took them back only to be met by J, who was quite rude to me for returning them. She gave me store credit at least, but I definitely will not be coming back because these people are all about their sales and nothing else. read more

Have shopped here for years not sure if recent manager change over but the owner's son was the rudest most unhelpful person to the point where we will never shop here ever again. The owner's son knows nothing about customer service. We went to Beck's and bought $400 worth of shoes and sandals. read more

If you want to support a business that sells Proud Boy and Boogaloo Bois patches go for it. I spoke with the owner about selling these products and he said they do not represent white nationalists and I was just part of a cancel culture movement. Found selling these items at a shoe store very disturbing. read more

How to make sure someone never returns to your store: 1. On their very first visit, follow them around suspiciously and stand directly behind them. Make no attempt to be pleasant. 2. If the customer then nervously cracks a joke, respond with a monotone voice and blank expression. 3. Don't put prices on anything, nor include any info about the product. When the customer asks the product model name so they can look up the info on their phone, decline to give out that information. Proceed to give a lecture about not buying things on the internet and complain about how it's hurting local businesses. Complain about previous customers. Okay, BYE! Actually, I've never bought a pair of shoes online, and don't intend to. I tried to be polite to the sales lady because I was so uncomfortable, but I'll never return to this store. read more

Took my Woman in to get some steel toe work shoes after she was sold a bill of goods by another store. After she met with Analie she decided on a pair of low boots that fit correctly!! She also got orthotic inserts to go with the new ones and inserts { my idea } to possibly salvage the other shoes for possible limited use around the house or perhaps we'll give to Salvation Army or?? Analie is knowledgeable and waaaaayyyy patient too. This store puts the " Branded " stores and the big boxes to all kinds of shame!!! PLUS: They do repair work if needed!!!! Marc. D read more

A Proper Fit Footwear - Shoe Stores Near Me - Reno, Nevada

The customer service I received here was excellent. I was informed about how shoe sizes work, the misconceptions and which brands offer certain widths, etc. But most of all, the experienced gentleman that helped me helped find me a perfect pair of shoes. One of the shoes he chose were exactly what I was looking for in a work shoe (waterproof with reinforced toe), as most other shoe stores do not offer heavy-duty and/or specialized shoes. He really knew the features of all the shoes on display. The selection of shoes in the store is enough to satisfy most people, especially some who want a specialized shoe or unusual size. As for who helped me, unfortunately I do not remember his name (it has been months since I was there), but he certainly went a long way to satisfy a customer. The combination of a very wide selection of shoes (unlike the typical shoe store chains) and a very well-informed staff is what makes "A Proper Fit Footwear" live up to its name, and very deserving of a rating of 5 stars out of 5. read more

I have had issues with my feet my whole life. Arch problems that caused me to wear arch support inserts in my shoes for the past 35 years. Always have to be custom fitted. Always cost an outrageous amount of money. And in a couple years I have to get new ones. Well I have given up on that. I went to The Proper Fit Shoe Store and got the best service I could have ever hoped for. And the service was by multiple knowledgable people. Everyone that worked there knew what he hell they were talking about. I left the store so much happier than I was when I went in. I was able to buy two pairs or arch support inserts for less than half the cost of the good ol store in town. My feet feel better now than they have in years. I will be going back here for new shoes and replaceable arch supports for a much better price as I need them. Great people. Great store and Great product lines in stock. Thank You!! read more

I wanted to try on a couple of shoes but wasn't sure if I was going to buy today or come back. I was up front about that fact and they told me they wouldn't help me because I wasn't buying right now. This used to be a nice store and I've purchased shoes there many times in the past, but it seems like they've changed management and now are greedy and have ZERO customer service. Will never shop there again. read more

I was referred by my podiatrist to replace my worn shoes. I owe "A Proper Fit Footwear" a glowing review, however I don't want to write just another redundant 5-star pat on the back for high quality merchandise and competent fitting, all of which they deserve. What I want to highlight is my incredible experience of receiving expedited service. I had an Rx to build a shoe to compensate for my very short and crooked leg caused by a catastrophic injury 60 years ago. It was now Friday afternoon and I needed to have the shoes by Monday morning since I was going away for 7 months. Next day, Saturday morning, Mike, the owner, called to tell me to come and pick them up! I'm not saying everyone should ask for overnight service on a big job, but I do want to applaude the fact that he worked an extra long day to make my life better! Most shoe stores have good stuff these days, but you'll find "A Proper Fit Footwear" beats them all with first class customer service. Thanks Mike and crew! You're the best in my book! read more

Casey (spelling?) was great. Spent as much time GUIDING me into two pairs of great shoes. SURE I spent $400.00 but WELL worth it. My knee pain is gone OVER night!.... Mike and his "crew" are KNOWLEDGEABLE beyond belief. DON'T go there if you are looking for a QUICK off the shelf type of "PAYLESS" shoe service...but let's face it IT'S YOUR FEET and if you treat your feet to ANYTHING less than a "PROPER FIT" you are cheating yourself out of a great feeling experience...SO next time you need shoes....GO with some time on your hands... and GO GET FITTED...instead of get ripped off...GO TO A PROPER FIT! read more
