This isn't a "Professionally" written Review; This is just me, Dr. Orange / Luscious Lou - I am…read morewriting to you from my heart and giving you my first-hand experiences and thoughts as a "Battle-Tested" - "Broken" Former Emergency Room Physician that has sustained considerable damage to my feet. All those Overnight ER Tours - Sprinkled with a Near Fatal Case of COVID (10 Nights in the ICU @ NYU) have taken their toll on my feet. Having the right footwear on your feet is critical and can affect your entire body. Trust me, I know. For years, I've struggled and searched to find a place that "Sub-Specializes" in Outfitting the "Difficult" Foot. Clients are treated like patients; I'm serious - I don't know how else to explain. The amazing team @ Ralph Baker's Shoes - led by Marissa Wood- is incredible. You won't find an experience like this anywhere. I traveled nearly an hour from Charlotte for this service, and I can say with certainty, it was worth it. Marissa is an incredibly knowledgeable professional who is well-versed in pairing appropriate footwear with each of her patients/clients. Forgive me for sounding so medical. I can't stress the importance of having the appropriate footwear enough. This is a family-run business that has been in Salisbury for many years. Believe it or not, you don't have to sacrifice style for comfort - Ralph Baker has a tremendous selection. They literally have a warehouse of shoes; all different types. I challenge you to find a place with such a selection and exceptional service. It only exists in Salisbury. Ralph Baker's is Veteran & First Responder Friendly and offers a very generous discount to our Nation's heroes. I left with 4 - Four; - Yes - Four Pairs of Shoes; - I had not purchased a Pair of Dress Shoes, for years before COVID; - It must be 10 Years. I'm going to close for now, but if you have a difficult-to-fit foot and "Foot Issues," this is your place. Prepare for friendly, dedicated, and enthusiastic staff who care. Ralph Baker's has a "Tremendous" selection - I'm certain they have something for everyone. As an aside, for those of you who can't make the "Schlep" over to Salisbury, they offer very reasonable and quick shipping. Thank You, Marissa and the Ralph Baker's Shoes Family - You are awesome! A+ See you soon!

I recently was able to find a pair of sandals at Shoe Dept. that I was able to wear. I have…read morechronic nerve damage in my feet, and it has been very difficult to find flat, but cushioned, comfortable sandals, with Velcro straps. A young salesclerk helped me find a pair, which are great. A new style for me. I do wish there were more flat, cushioned sandal selections, in a variety of other colors, available. A great sale price and they have a rewards program. She even checked their other store locations to find a certain brand of sandals for me. We went to the store in Lexington, which held the sandals for 4 days for me. Sadly, the even sized sandals are too big for me. I am a true 7 1/2. 8 was too large. 7 too small. Prices are comparable to other franchised shoe stores in Salisbury, their web site is easy to use.

Luckily I was on a mission and not a shopping spree. This time (insert evil laugh). I browsed the tennis shoes a while and saw that they had a deal going on BOGO 50% off. I'm pretty certain I heard angels sing when I read the sign. So instead of buying one pair, I got two. :) Got a pair of women's Nike's (gray and pink) super comfy and the price was actually really decent. Also picked up a pair of New Balances (purple and blue) as a back up pair. Because who can have too many pairs of shoes?!? And they were 1/2 off which made the deal even sweeter. Overall, the check out guy was super friendly and efficient. Only dropping it down a star because I found an awesome pair of sandals (that I really wanted to buy) but they didn't have my size.

Right as you enter the door there is a signboard where you can right your name and then they will come get you when a salesperson is available. I didn't have to wait long at all. Next they have you stand on a scanning machine followed by measuring your stride on a short strip on the floor that does just that. The salesman who helped me was very knowledgeable and I learned stuff about my feet that blew my mind. He brought out three different pairs of shoes and I got to try them on and walk around with them. I ended up getting a pair of Brooks. I was very pleased with my purchase and will look into running programs in the near future that they offer on their website. Highly recommend this establishment!
