    Plethora of sneakers!
    Bonnie G.

    Amanda was absolutely fantastic when I went in looking for new sneakers. You see, I suffered with heel pain, self-treated, and just ignored it for 3 months while still putting in a good amount of miles in before actually seeing my doctor. X-rays ruled out a stress fracture and I was sent to podiatrist. Diagnosis? Severe plantar fasciitis. Cortisone shot to calm everything down quickly and lots of home care instructions....one of them being a visit to Footwear etc. Amanda listened to my sob story without batting an eye and went straight to work. She used a super fancy machine, analyzed my feet, and started pulling out box after box. No pressure- very low key. The store may look small but they must have a secret basement or something to hold all their inventory! Lo and behold, we found a winner. Footwear, etc is located in a small strip mall with limited parking in the front. There's more parking in the back. Prices are on point with other specialized shoe stores. Good shoes aren't cheap but neither are copays to specialty doctors and xrays. Pick your poison. ;)

    Amazing experience. Located in the Ralphs strip mall right off Encinitas boulevard. Parking was not too bad, there were a few spots but it is a busy shopping center. It is tucked in the back corner between Ralphs and Trader Joes. I called yesterday to ask some questions and a very helpful associate answered all of my questions on some brands and equipment that my doctor referred. The doctor from Scripps also gave me a 10% off coupon. I went in today (Saturday) and Kendra was there to help. She was very friendly as soon as I walked in the door. She checked to see if I needed any help and then proceeded to answer all of my questions and provided me with several options. Kendra was extremely knowledgeable, and was not afraid to give me her honest opinion on the brands that she uses and likes. I really appreciated her advice since the shoes I was looking at are 2-4x more than I would normally spend I wanted some good advice. Doctor recommended Brooks, Hoka, and New Balance for shoes and Cadence for insoles. I normally would get New Balance but I liked the look and quality of the Brooks and Hoka a little better so I only tried those on. The Brooks were nice but a little snug and the laces were too short and as soon as I tried the Hoka Bondi 7 on I knew those were the ones for me. I also found out they really only last for 500 miles and probably should be replaced every 3-6 months. I didn't know all that and not wearing proper foot wear probably led to my foot problems. I also got some nice tempurpedic slippers and Cadence insoles for my new shoes and some for my dress shoes. Kendra signed me up for their rewards program, mentioned the sale on Cadence insoles (buy 1 and get 1 at 50% off), the special on the slippers (double points on the reward program), and was also able to apply 10% on the whole order. They didn't have everything in stock but free shipping to my house. The whole experience was amazing and AWESOME. I am hopeful and so is the doctor that these shoes may help avoid foot surgery so I am glad to spend more if they are helpful, which I think they will be.

    Hours open except when they aren't.....

    Ask the Community - Footwear etc

    Do they carry narrow women's shoes.?

    Hello, yes, we do carry brands that come in narrow and brands that run narrow to begin with. Please call the store to ask about specific styles. Thanks! We look forward to helping you.

    I have problems with balance as I have bunions that have miss shaped my feet. Do you have any shows that can help my balance?

    We have stability shoes and insoles that can aid in balance, but aren’t going to fix your balance. If the problem stems from your toes, we recommend seeing a podiatrist. If you’d like to come in and try on shoes to see what fits the best, we’d… 

    I have metatarsalgia. Do you have shoes that address this problem? I am a customer and received excellent service and shoes that helped my over pronated feet.

    Hi there, yes, we have some options that will help with/ accommodate metatarsalgia . Many podiatrists will recommend shoes with a roomy toe box, some recommend metatarsal pads (with or without insoles), and a shoe that is firm in the front (doesn't…

    Rick is still fabulously fitting people with comfortable shoes that minimize or outright negate foot disorders.

    I had a great experience at Foot Solutions in Encinitas. As a professional in the wellness…read moreindustry, I'm pretty particular about the care and recommendations I trust--and Rudy, the owner, truly exceeded my expectations. She's incredibly knowledgeable and took the time to understand my specific situation rather than offering a one-size-fits-all solution. Her personalized attention made a huge difference, and it's clear she genuinely cares about helping her clients achieve real results. One of the biggest takeaways for me has been how much the custom orthotics have reduced my low back pain!! I've already noticed a significant improvement, which speaks volumes about the effectiveness of her approach. If you're looking for expert guidance, customized care, and results you can actually feel, I highly recommend Foot Solutions in Encinitas.

    Very Disappointing Experience -- Be Careful…read more We had a very disappointing experience at this shop, particularly because the customer involved was my 90-year-old mother. When we first arrived, we had to wait about 15 minutes because the salesperson was late opening the store. My mother was looking for a pair of sandals in the exact same style and color as a pair she has owned for many years. The salesperson, who had a European accent, ordered the color my mother wanted and told us she could modify the insert for approximately $30-$40. About two weeks later, we returned to pick up the sandals. At that point, my mother purchased an additional insert, costing approximately $200. The total purchase came to $549.53. She repeatedly assured us not to worry and said she would "make it right." Unfortunately, when my mother got home, she immediately noticed that the sandals did not fit or feel like her original pair and was very unhappy with them. We returned to the store and requested a refund. The salesperson initially resisted the refund and repeatedly told us that she would lose money if she refunded the purchase. I explained that this was not an appropriate way to treat a 90-year-old customer and that we would dispute the charge if necessary. She eventually agreed to take back the sandals and the expensive insert, but she still charged my mother more than $90 for the original modification. I asked to see exactly what had been done to the sandal. What I saw was essentially a small piece of cotton with a small piece of rubber attached to it. I was shocked that we were being charged more than $90 for this. The salesperson claimed it took her approximately 30 minutes to install it. I personally witnessed the work, and it took approximately five minutes. She also refused to refund that $90 charge and would not allow us to take the piece of material with us. We are now in the process of disputing that portion of the charge. The issue here isn't simply the money. It's the way the situation was handled. My mother is 90 years old, and we expected honest pricing, good customer service, and a willingness to make things right when the product didn't work for her. Unfortunately, that was not our experience. We left feeling that my mother had been taken advantage of, and I cannot recommend this shop based on our experience.

These backpacks are light and water resistant, sturdy and they hold a lot of items. Aloha Collection was founded in 2014 by a flight attendant named Rachel Leina'ala and Heather Aiu a native of Kauai. They both had a dream to create travel light and splash proof purses, totes, backpacks, cross body bags, duffles, diaper bags, lunch boxes and laptop cases. They feature so many unique Hawaiian patterns/prints in their design and who doesn't enjoy carrying a piece of Hawaii with them? They also offer special collections from time to time like Hello Kitty and they just came out with a Moana collection. I find their products reasonably priced and they often have some great sales. You can purchase in one of their stores located all over Hawaii, Newport Beach, Encinitas, Malibu, and Lake Buena Vista, Florida. Easiest way to purchase is online. This store was well laid out and organized. Products were easy to view and staff were helpful. Each and every year, they gave back 5% of their profits to organizations that uplift the Hawaiian islands. These non profits support perpetuation of Hawaiian culture, environmental education and community well being. I love supporting businesses that give back to their communities so I will continue to shop here. Thank you Aloha Collection!

    I fell in love with the O'ahu store and little did I know, there was one minutes away from me…read more The store is located on the beautiful coast highway in the sunny beach stores. Came in and was greeted immediately. The ladies that work there were very nice. They gave me a tour of the new merch that just hit stores. Not including the Hello Kitty collection that hits tomorrow. They had a huge generous section of clearance. I am in love with the seashell collection, and what's great about these bags and accessories is the light weight fabric. I got the weekender, large pouch, and a passport holder for under $100. Can't beat the deals and quality. I highly recommend. Thank you so much ladies
