I stopped by on a Saturday evening. It was packed, and more loud inside than I had ever heard it before. I took a number upon entering, and looked around as I waited to be helped. There was a huge markdown sale on last year's model shoes, which is a great deal if you can find your size. I didn't have to wait long before my number was called, and I spoke to one gentleman who was training another person. They took my measurements, and went off to find some shoes In my size. They brought back several pair, but not what I was looking for. They ended up bringing me a casual sandal, which is what I wanted. Despite how busy they were, everyone seemed happy, and the process of finding shoes was quick and painless. They are known for having hard to find sizes, and will order them if not in stock. After purchasing, be sure to keep your receipt in your car, or close, so you can get a discount the next time you purchase shoes. Its always a good experience at Lauries! read more

I stopped in today hoping to find very comfortable shoes for an upcoming trip to Europe. The lady that helped me, Michelle, was extremely knowledgeable on finding the perfect shoe for me. I found three pair that I really liked, but only bought two pair, when I initially planned on buying only pair. Both pair feel great on my feet and are high quality. read more

1st visit in many years. Needed walking tennie's. Lisa Vaeth was my sales person. I told her what I was looking for & she brought out just what I had in mind. She was professional, friendly & a Joy to work with. Only surprise was apparently my shoe size increased. I have total confidence in her expertise. Went home & tried them out on a 2 mile walk. Ask for Lisa Vaeth if you go & you'll be glad you did. read more

One of the best shoe stores ever invented. I've been going here for literally decades since I was a child. This is not your ordinary shoe store. There's aquariums, slides for the kids, and an abundance of staff members who can measure your shoe size and help you accordingly. Please, never go out of business, Lauries. read more

What a good shoe store. We went in, they were so busy we got a number. Then they measured my boyfriend's feet and helped him buy some new shirt boots. Price was not bad, either. read more

I've shopped at Laurie's for years. Now I'm older and taking my grandchildren. Lately when I shop, I'm told we are out of this shoe and almost every shoe I or the Kids ask to try on. We are there often, and I'm told we don't have that color, its sold out, or not in your size, your too late or too early. I want to support local owners but I go out of my way to shop there and am usually disappointed. read more

What a pleasant experience! From walking in the door and being greeted by John who gives you a number to be waited on. I was referred to Laurie's from my Orthopedist for Achilles Tendinitis (community engagement work ) I did too much! The day I arrived the store was in full buzz by 10am. Doors opened at 9am. There is a children's area with the cutest tiny shoes and accessories for boys and girls, etc. For adults, there is a wide assortment of shoes for various activities. I had the pleasure of having Montez as my shoe tech. We vibed over our military backgrounds (me USAF and him USMC). He educated me from soup to nuts about caring for our core and feet. While he talked my eyes glazed over looking at the beautiful decorations and plethora of attractive shoes and socks! L ..ook at the customer A..cknowledge the customer U..nderstand stand the customer R..espond to the needs of the customer I..nstill the trust of the customer E..xceed the expectations of the customer S..mile!

The man was helping me did not seem concerned with helping me find the right shoes, my podiatrist recommended this store and I was very disappointed read more

The management is the worse ever!! They told me they needed a prescription for my shoes to be made and my Dr ask me to ask them why. When I called Christie the manager of the podietry she absolutely blew up yelling at me. Accusing me of mistreating her people. That was not true at all. Then they mailed all my personal information, name, address and phone number to another customer who called and asked who I was??? I returned the shoes that did not do what they were supposed to do and I will not ever go back there. My salesman did try really hard to fit me with the right shoe but never could. I was glad to get my $500.00 back and go home!! Christie needs to find a new job read more

I took my kids here in the eighties, and now my grandkids - the place is top knotch! Was here today (9/21/24) and got great service, as usual! Sean waited on us and took the time to measure and fit both of my grandsons properly. Thank-you! read more

Laurie's is THE place to buy shoes! We had been all over the city, tried several online sources, and met with disappointment at every turn until we came to Laurie's. Our kids have somewhat wide feet but are mainly super particular about being able to wiggle their toes. Shoes that have narrow toe boxes get rejected, regardless of how cute they are. Laurie's carries actual wide toe box shoes in fun colors that our kids instantly fell in love with! And they actually MEASURED our kids' feet which most other shops didn't bother with. The fish tank and slide entertained them while our shoe tech looked for suitable pairs, and the pairs she found were instant successes. We will be back. read more

Lauries Shoes - Bright shoes that my son loves, fitted over his favorite rainbow socks. - Shoe Stores Near Me - Saint Louis, Missouri

The service was second to none. Kira greeted us at the door and made the whole process easy. Anthony did a great job fitting the shoes. We made sure everything was right before I left. Great service is hard to find especially in shoes and clothing for men. I found it at Lauries and I will recommend them and be a return customer. Steve Nudelman read more

I've suffered from pronated ankles and related ailments. I put off seeking help for years, but I'm so happy that I was referred to Laurie's! My new shoes and orthotics have greatly enhanced my quality of life - my gait is much improved, and my pain is much reduced. Honestly I haven't been so excited about shoes since my first pair of Air Force Ones. The entire staff is great to work with - kind, personal, knowledgeable, and professional. A hearty "recommend" and now a customer for life! read more

We made an appointment to have our adult son fitted for new shoes. We did so because he has autism and he needs structure and finds it difficult to wait. When we entered Laurie's, it was very busy and noisy. Two things that are not a tolerable environment for him. I explained to the person who greeted us that we were going to need to reschedule as our son wouldn't be able to tolerate the environment. The staff immediately resolved the problem and took us to a quieter area in the back. They immediately began the process of carefully measuring and diagnosing the problem with his existing shoes. They were respectful and kind. What might have been a meltdown for him became a pleasant outing . To say we are grateful would be an understatement. I can highly recommend Laurie's Shoes unconditionally. Thank you to all the people who helped us yesterday. read more

Great selection and service Lisa was very knowledgeable and helpful. Ended up with a pair of boots and athletic shoes. They even measured my feet No body else does that ! read more

Great place to get shoes. They measure and find the right fit. Just wish they were closer.

I just realized my last two reviews or Laurie's are written on the same day two years apart. Well, it is time again for new work shoes and I'm earlier. I guess I have been working harder, so my shoes need to be replaced. As stated in previous update, no fun shoes at my employment. They've to be black, lace-up and a no skid sole. Having wide feet, it is hard for me to buy this type of shoe at outlet and discount stores. Trust me I have tried and to be honest, the prices are not that much different. Here at Laurie's I get excellent customer service from an experienced shoe expert. Who makes sure I am slipping my massive food into the correct size. No wonder my feet have hurt in the past, I was wearing the wrong size. Laurie's also has some very fashionable Cole Hann and Dexter loafers that I wear when I am not working. Also, if you have children, I highly recommend Laurie's. They have a huge variety of cute little shoes. I have watched them work their magic on getting the tots to calm down and slip their tiny feet into new shoes. Remember, shop local and keep our hometown stores in business. read more

Lauries Shoes - May look boring, but it is the most comfortable work shoe I have found. - Shoe Stores Near Me - Saint Louis, Missouri

Really wonderful. My husband and I drove over to Laurie's after being mistreated at another shoe store. The saleswoman was knowledgeable and spent real time helping both of us. After about an hour we left, very happy with the two pairs each of us bought. We will return! read more

Good local store, the associates are helpful and make sure your shoe fit size is correct

It's my 5th visit to St Louis. Thought I had done it all, however this time I really needed to update my shoes. First, ask for Michelle as your associate. Yes, I am sure that the others are fine, but her service was quite extraordinary. 4 people in our group and we all bought shoes. I got one pair of rugged Merrell hiking shoes, but everyone else got dress shoes. The women liked the experience so much we went back the next day and bought even more shoes. 4 of us, altogether, 15 pairs of shoes. Michelle's personal and patient service was the key. So we all left St Louis with boxes of shoes and pints of Drewes. read more

Today was my first ever visit to Lauries Shoes. My 1.5 year old son is getting orthotics to help his balance/stability. This was the fifth store we had been to in order to look for the shoes my sons physical therapist recommended without any luck. We were greeted immediately by a friendly sales associate who was able to assist us. When we told him our son was getting orthotics he asked additional questions about the type of orthotic and why my son needed them. He was very knowledgeable about what shoe and size combo we needed in order to accommodate the specific insert my son will be getting. He was patient with our toddler son and were able to find the exact pair we were looking for in his size! We will definitely be back! read more

It was awesome running into the podiatrist that designed the inserts we bought. My son got a free foot exam and guidance on what to buy. We bought shoes and inserts that resulted in immediate relief of some of the pain he was experiencing. read more

Laurie's Shoes stocks Beautiful leather shoes. It's customer service is outstanding. The selection of high quality socks for women is also outstanding. read more

I was the kid who had to be dragged kicking and screaming into a shoe store when I needed new shoes. I HATED shoes. They were uncomfortable and restrictive. Fast forward to 2010: I'm still not a shoe girl, preferring to wear the same couple pairs all the time. I admit to having bought more than one pair of the same shoe because I liked them so much. But my luck just ran out! I have had about 3 pairs of the same model of Dansko shoes for the last 5 years. I wish I had bought more! But they are worn out. So when I heard that there was a trunk show event for Dansko brand shoes at Laurie's, I had to go, if for nothing else than to ask the rep where I could get another pair of my fave shoes (out of production now :( ) Being a teacher, I HAVE to have comfy shoes. I walk around and stand all day long. Danskos are the best! When I got to the trunk show event, there were a bunch of different varieties of Dansko shoes to try. Laurie's uses a ticket system to help you. You get a number and the salespeople call you when it's your turn. This gives you time to look around and then be helped. The salespeople are very friendly and helpful and devote all their time to you when it's your turn, unlike other shoe places (ahem, Macy's). When it was my turn, the sales guy brought me a couple pairs to try while opining that a certain pair were "cute." I agreed. I bought said pair. And another. Down $240. OUCH! But they are so comfy, they are worth it. Expect to pay a lot for any shoes you buy here, but expect that they are worth it. Bonus - they carry lots of sizes (small, narrow, huge, wides). My bf, who has huge feet, can get shoes here. I got a super comfy pair of hiking shoes here in wides and they were one of the best investments I ever made! Huge kids selection too. More bonuses: save your receipt and get 5% off your next purchase! Order a pair in another color or size that they don't have and have no obligation to buy it if you don't like it when it comes in! Friendly service! And no, the rep didn't have any quick fix to get me my favorite model of out of stock shoes. But that's ok, because I am moving on! read more

I stopped in because of Erin G's review about the orthotics for her child. My experience was nearly identical. They knew exactly what my son needed. My son was super-stoked about the slide and even got a balloon...all within 15 minutes. The shoes were pricey but I don't mind one bit paying for their expertise. They also helped me find shoes for my very swollen feet when I was pregnant. I don't always buy my shoes here but when I have a unique shoe situation I know I can go to Laurie's and they can help. read more

I have weird feet and I have other issues (herniated disks in my lumbar spine) and I wanted a store in which the staff know their stuff. I'd been to Laurie's in the past and decided to stop wasting money on shoes that someone I know loves. I need shoes my feet love! Montezz was great and really knows his stuff! I tried on 7 or 8 pairs of athletic shoes and he was so patient and knowledgeable. I paid the exact same price at Laurie's for my Brooks that I would have on line on the Brooks website. If you have problem feet, go to Laurie's Shoes! read more

I probably won't t be returning to Lauries. I have bought shoes from Lauries since the early 80's and was always pleased. In the last several years, they have not had enough stock and I end up leaving and ordering online. I try to support local business but when the business doesn't keep up with the merchandise, I will unfortunately be forced to shop online which I would prefer not to do. It is sad that the store is not better stocked with plenty of options to choose. The lady at the door taking names was wonderful but the sales person we were assigned was less than that. Very sad! read more

This store was a bit disappointing as the children's shoes were limited, but the worst part of the visit was the service. It was a little busy, but that doesn't excuse the service received by a sales lady. She was short and didn't seem to really want to help. If you hate your job that much, find something else. I will not be returning. Nordstrom has the same shoes but with excellent service. read more

Laurie's has a great selection of well-fitting women's shoes. They have a hard working and knowledgeable staff and I always get assistance quickly, find a pair a like, and wear them for years. read more

I made a special appointment to work with Tim, one of their certified pedorthrists, to help me get orthotics and a gait plate per the instructions of a podiatrist I had recently seen. I had to wait 20 min after my set appointment time before Tim was available to work with me, but they actually told me ahead of time when I was making the appointment that I would probably have to wait about that long. So I can't fault them for being late at all because they were honest up front! Tim was extremely helpful and friendly! He analyzed my gait and gave me advice and many options to choose from in order to correct a walking problem I was diagnosed with. Throughout the half hour to hour that I worked with him, I in no way ever felt like I was being rushed, and I felt like I had Tim's compete attention and that he was honestly trying to just figure out what devices would best serve me and my feet in the future. The shoes and devices I bought were a bit pricy (70 for EACH gait plate, 60 for the orthotics) but after doing a cursory search online I found out that their prices were actually pretty competitive! I would definitely recommend coming here for shoes, especially if your feet are in need of some extra attention, as they have amazingly wonderful service! Free cookies on the way out too haha!!! read more

Not good. I could easily have ordered my new balance online and had my order in two days. Two weeks from ordering at Laurie's, they completely fumbled and sure enough I was ordering online. Colossal waste of time, energy, gas, etc. Funny. Never an apology for their fumble. Very disappointing. I'm sure the place does something right as they've been in biz for a long time. But my experience? Bad all the way around. read more

First visit to Laurie's today and I needed to find my 2 year old a pair of shoes to go with his new orthotics. We were greeted immediately by a friendly sales associate and he knew exactly what we needed. He was very patient with my uninterested toddler and got us the perfect pair of shoes within a few minutes. I had him in the wrong size and width. The sales associate was very knowledgeable to what shoes would go perfectly with the orthotics. I am so glad I stopped in! I wish I knew the mans name that assisted us he was great! Thanks Laurie's, my toddler finally has a pair of shoes that fit him properly. I will be back! My son also loved the slide! And balloon he got! read more

I had a terrible experience at Laurie's. I came in to buy a new pair of running shoes after an injury. My sports medicine physician told me specific things to look for in my shoe so that I could get back to running. While I was waiting for someone to help me, I pulled a few off the shelf that went along with what my doctor recommended. When a sales associate finally got to me, he told me that all the pairs of shoes that I picked out were completely wrong for my particular injury. So, I explained him what my doctor had recommended. This SALES ASSOCIATE then decided to tell me that MY DOCTOR was wrong and that I had to get one of two particular shoes. I went along with it and tried on the shoes he had picked out for me. Both shoes were not only miserably ugly, but I could feel the pain from my injury immediately, indicating that he had completely missed the mark on what I needed. He wasted an hour of my day trying to convince me that only one type of shoe would work for me. So, I drove down the street to Fleet Feet and got my foot scanned and fitted for the perfect pair of New Balances. Exactly what my doctor had recommended, they feel great, and it took less than 30 min. All of the shoes at Laurie's are overpriced and for an older crowd. The customer service is miserable. This place has really gone down hill. Save your time and money - shop somewhere else. read more

Absolutely terrible customer service. You place an order with them nobody can find your order, you have to continually called to check on things and every time you call you're told oh it's coming in and they can't find information they don't have any systems together. Probably the last time I buy shoes here read more

Well here I go down there for the third time and it's 30 minutes away. Not happy!! Last week I wore a size 8 this week I wear a size 7. I didn't feel confident that they knew how to size my feet! Not to mention I wore the shoes in that I had bought the week before and the lady told me that they were too big and exchange them for me for a pair that was small I was miserable for 4 hours! I'm not sure what happened or why it happened what I do know is that it just seemed like no one knew how to size and sell me the right shoes. read more

I usually bring my kids to Lauries for shoes and have always had good experiences. However, I am just finally leaving a review as I really wanted to commend them on their response to COVID19 guidelines and re-opening. Today was my first time bringing my kids out to a store in 2 months. But after 3 tries at buying and returning shoes with other online retailers (ya, I know - it's me) ... I had to get them properly fitted and try on summer shoes. I was impressed with their video on the website explaining the changes and comforted that they were taking the health of their staff and my family seriously. Most importantly, everything they said they were doing happened (which is not the case at all retailers right now). Finally, all of this was still achieved with great customer service and kindness. TY Lauries ... we will be back! read more

This place is my GO TO store for my girls! They are 10 and 8 with wide feet. They are professional and organized! I love making an appointment with Carol, it helps beat the crowds and she is great at what she does! I even had a quality issue with some shoes and they exchanged for other shoes without blinking! Thankful for having good old fashioned shoe store like yours still around! read more

Just took my 92 year old mother in for some comfortable shoes and was extremely pleased with Kim's patience and helpfulness. We were there for over an hour and only bought one pair but tried on many pairs. The entire staff wore masks and did everything they could to maintain social distancing. One employee continually cleaned after customers. Such a great experience for a challenging task. Thanks! read more
