Wandered into B&M looking for shoes while on a biz trip to Seattle. Had no idea what to expect, but found myself in the best men's shoe boutique ever! Uncrowded, peaceful, excellent, knowledgeable service. In short, the kind of shopping experience one dreams of. And the Aldens ... what can I say. Back at the airport, the shoe shine guy gave me a shout out as I walked by with my B&M shopping bag: "great shoes!" The opinion of an expert read more

If you love Alden boots, this is a place you need to know. I came here to check out some Indy boots, of course not finding my size as I have EE wide feet that are hard to size. That said, I got sized and was able to custom order some Indy boots where I could select more than sizing. Was able to select the leather, some stitching options and the sole construction. Definitely a fan of Brick + Mortar. I'm already ready to so another order for some green suede boots. read more

Brick + Mortar - Shoe Stores Near Me - Seattle, Washington

First let me say to all who come to, live in, or plan to visit Seattle, that this place is one in a million. You walk into shoe heaven when you enter this quaint, perfectly styled, and fresh location of Brick + Mortar! This is the Alden shoe shop of your and my dreams. I walked about eight blocks (of Seattle's crazy hill downtown) in order to visit, and I would have climbed five times that once I saw all Yenni had. Yenni is the owner, and she is an absolute gem to work with. She was able to explain her store, concept, and reason for everything she was doing! I was treated kindly and courteously even though I was in my vacation basics (shorts, t-shirt, and flip flops). Many stores of such a caliber would have been cold and rude. I was so pleased that Yenni didn't even blink, and treated me like a king from beginning to end. She gave me space at the right time to examine the shoes, and was always right there to answer questions. She sized me and proceeded to search her stock for shoes in my size. She began bringing out shoes she loved, and quickly built a selection based on my responses. Yenni curates this shop so wonderfully. She has Alden shoes from the catalog, and a huge selection shell cordovan! You can almost never find someone who carries such a wide variety of Alden's, and especially the shell cordovan. This isn't even the best part though!! Yenni is licensed to DESIGN her own collection through Alden, and they are stamped with the Brick + Mortar name inside as well. A chance to own a one of a kind masterpiece made by Alden and designed by Yenni! I was so excited about this I purchased the shell cordovan shoes I had been wanting, and returned the next day for a special pair designed by Yenni. Seattle is so lucky to have this shop in their city, and I was so incredibly lucky to stumble upon it. If you are in town, and want to experience the best shoes money can buy then take a walk in this shop. It really speaks volumes when the designer and store owner herself is such an amazing person, and so helpful at every level. I will be returning to this shop every time I'm in Seattle, and I have already followed Brick + Mortar on all social media platforms. Her spring line is going to be incredible, and it will be another fantastic shoe I add to my collection. Thank you Yenni for all you do, and to everyone reading... support this amazing one of a kind place!! read more

This was first time visiting Brick + Mortar since they moved to their new location, and I am very glad that they did. Customer service was great and they really helped me learn my sizing across the various lasts. Selection is great, with a lot of custom designs found only at Brick + Mortar. I hope to soon be the proud owner of a pair of suede long wings. What I really appreciated about my visit was how they took the time to get to know me and help me figure out which shoes/boots would work best for me. I hope to be back early in the new year if not sooner. read more

Yenni and Sean are both amazing, they are friendly, attentive and do whatever they can to go above and beyond. I was shopping for my first pair of Aldens and Sean took the time to walk me through the lasts and comparing his sizing experience with them (over the phone) to help me find the ideal fit. This is the opposite of the care and experience I had at Alden of SF, there they had one option for me to try which wasn't even a very good fit. They avoided my questions about various lasts (I have very narrow feet) since they didn't have any in stock, seemed like they only cared if I was ready to buy on the spot. The only reason I bring this up is, after this experience at a flagship store I almost avoided the brand altogether, I figured the price is justified by quality and customer service. Luckily, I stumbled on Brick + Mortar and hope you do to, highly recommend!! read more

Yenni is very nice!! Shoes are just awesome!!! Many makeups, love this store! Alden lovers' new heaven! read more

A great store with great products and staff. If you're familiar with Alden's quality (and pricing habits) there will be little surprise, apart from that Brick + Mortar has shoes made to their own designs by Alden, using the same lasts, materials, and quality construction of the normal Alden lines. While many people won't be looking for shoes at this price point, at least you will certainly get what you pay for here. read more

Brick + Mortar - Inside of one of their own designs manufactured by Alden. - Shoe Stores Near Me - Seattle, Washington

It's hard to know which to praise more: Alden shoes, or Brick + Mortar. Alden shoes are superb. No more need be said. But the shop is just as good, and Yenni is simply the kindest and most helpful salesperson I've come across in a very long time. I'm hard to fit - she made sure I had the right shoes - and even picked out some excellent socks for me! I know the shoes won't wear out for a long time, but I almost wish they would, so could come back! read more

I bought my first pair of Alden here. I was certain that I want a pair of Indy, but I was unsure about my size. My foot is a bit wider. The owner gave the most professional and insightful comments and suggestions I have ever had. Hands down five stars! read more

I came to visit Seattle from Chicago. My son, the shoe fanatic, said I needed to head straight to Brick and Mortar. I had purchased one pair of Alden shoes from Leffot in Chicago and the rest online from the secondary market. I was amazed at the selection of great makeups at B&M. Sean was a fantastic salesman. He guided me through the various lasts, sizes and options. He accommodated me by shipping the pair of NST color 8 cordovan boots to Alden to have the tongues tacked, since the tongues slip based on my anatomy and gait. I couldn't have asked for a better experience. This is the go to store for Alden shoes! read more

Great designs, quality seems too notch, the designer works directly with the manufacturer in the Northeast and her collection is unique to this store, plus more traditional options if that's your thing. She also works in the store which is a nice touch. Prices are higher than most, but you get what you pay for. read more

I recently bought aldens tanker boots from this store. for a couple of days, I spoke with Yenni and Sean, both who are extremely well versed in everything Aldens + shoes and extremely friendly and helpful. I am so happy i bought my boots here. Will definitely order from here again. read more

Greetings everyone! I wanted to share with you, the reader, what a great pleasure it was to buy my first Alden Boots from Yenni at Brick + Mortar! After doing my research I finally settled on a pair of Boots sold by B+M and e-mailed the company to find out if the boot was available in my size. Since this was my first pair of Alden Boots, Yenni took the time via e-mail to explain what I needed to do in order to find the correct size, fit and form on the various lasts Alden has been using for decades. After finding my exact size on the Brannock Device and e-mailing B+M my findings, Yenni told me my size was in stock and available for purchase and I went ahead with the purchase! Please note I was never pressured into buying or any up-selling. The boots arrived perfectly, and the box was packaged very carefully. The customer service was top notch too. A courteous follow-up e-mail was sent just to make sure everything arrived as described and I can say with 100% certainty, B+M has an East Coast customer for life. To Yenni and the B+M team - Thank you again so very much! read more
