Honestly I spent very little time in this shop - I saw a clearance rack right when I walked by, came in, and found a super soft and comfy tank top for $12 that I immediately bought. Clearly this is a sports goods and shoe store - I saw a few throughout Colorado so it isn't only found in Durango. But I'll tell you what - that tank top is one of my new fav shirts, I hiked in it several times and I love wearing it to hang around! read more

Plus, clothes. Yoga pants, shorts, tshirts, long sleeve running shirts, shorts, zip up jackets, light jackets, insulated skirts - basically all kinds of performance outerwear with wicking. Not ski gear though. Plus, other outdoors and sports gear like hydration packs, water bottles, etc. they have all the high quality brands, Chacos, Altra, Brooks, Merrel, Lems, Saucony, New Balance, Hoka, Saloman, Obōz, Teva, Swiftwick, and more. Shout out to Wyatt! He is SO knowledgeable and SO helpful. He knew EVERYTHING there is to know about shoes, feet, and recommending the right shoes for your needs. He helped us so much. I'm so excited for my new Chacos slippahs (flip flops) - they have serious arch support! He said they were top rated and I can feel it. I need arch support and my Vionics died way too fast, so looking forward to these. I've had a regular pair of Chacos that I love and lasted for years and never knew they had slip on options. We also got my husband some work shoes which he said feel amazing, both comfortable and affordable. Brooks and Hoka. He spends all day on his feet so needs something that helps his feet and back. Wyatt was wearing the Brooks and said they are his second pair. read more

See all

I showed up in Durango with the most inappropriate foot attire but I also was not expecting 9 feet of snow in three days. I walked right into Browns and they hooked me up! I am now wearing the most comfortable pair of boots (Oboz) Now my trip will be amazing because I will not fall! Thanks for the customer service, great recommendations and explaining what all these fancy new terms like ceramic something something is! Thanks Brandon! They need to make you a manager! read more

Brown's Sport Shoe - Shoe Stores Near Me - Durango, Colorado

Have shopped there for many years before I actually lived in Durango, now that I live here it's my go-to place for sports shoes! As a life long cyclist I was never much of a runner, since moving here and purchasing at least two pairs of running shoes (Hoke trail and Salomon snow), I've taken up trail running as a 'cross training method. They also carry pretty much every brand of sports shoe you would want! read more

I just moved to Durango and decided to visit one of the local shops on main st. and got directed towards Brown's Sport Shoe for the Teva Zilch they did not carry at the local outdoors company. I went there the next day and asked them to hold a pair of the Teva's till myself or my dad stopped by the next day to pick them up. I came the next day and picked them up at around three... and the same nice gal who helped me the day before was very friendly and pulled them from behind the counter for me. I took them home, and tried them on a couple hours later and wore them around my apartment. I noticed the 9 and a 1/2 zilches didn't fit as well as i thought... after messing around with the straps, and the toe loop... it was putting alot of unwanted pressure around my big toe. I went back the next day to try on a size nine and see if the problem was helped, and to exchange them. I met a salesmen that had saw me a few days earlier try on the Zilch and i guess he had though i purchased them on that day. I told him i had just came in the following evening and purchased them and wanted to see if a size 9 suited me better. He immediately told me i didn't purchase them yesterday, and i said he must be mistaken. He looked at the receipt and was embarrassed to see i had picked them up when i said. He apologized, but kept on making me feel uncomfortable for trying on a size 9. He must not know as much as he thinks about minimalist footwear because the nine fit nice and snug as a pair of vibrams do. Alls i have to say is... local businesses need to be more friendly and hospitalble to there customers more now than ever. I don't know if he was the manager or owner, but he definitely needs a lesson on customer service, and maybe looking at the reciept before he starts making accusations!!! I want to support local businesses, but not when i get treated like that. Thats why most people choose to there business online. I will just order my shoes online from the company next time... they don't ridicule, accuse, and make you feel uncomfortable for exchanging the shoe for a more comfortable fit. In the end he did exchange the sandals for me, but he didn't have to make it so uncomfortable. I won't be back, and will definitely not send any of my friends or family there! read more

Salesmen to worried about closing, to sell a pair of shoes!!! It was 800, but the door was open . He took the shoes said, "good luck finding them, anywhere else." What a jerk, I WILL NOT, GO BACK! read more

Brown's Sport Shoe - Shoe Stores Near Me - Durango, Colorado

I have always experienced very good customer service when I go to Brown's Sport Shoe. (The same cannot be said for their sister store across the street and I recommend avoiding Brown's Shoe Fit.) Recently I purchased a pair of hiking shoes at Brown's Sport Shoe and they began to separate around the sole within a month. I went back to Brown's and they took them back and exchanged them for a new pair with no questions asked. They let me know that if I had any problems with the new pair they would be happy to refund me the full amount of the purchase. I have had no problems with the new pair at all. Today I was looking for a specific color of shoe that they did not have. they immediately offered to special order it, and overnight express it to my house free of charge. In addition, I had a coupon for $10 off that did not apply toward my purchase, but he gave me $10 off anyway. I am appreciative of good customer service and will return here to do business any time I need new shoes. read more

These guys are awesome. I've been going to Brown's Sport Shoe for years and have lost count of how many pairs of shoes I've bought there. They are always so patient when I'm being picky or having a hard time finding the right fit. I demand/need a lot from my shoes, so their knowledge and experience is most helpful. This is were I go for my family and myself and I would recommend it to anyone wanting good quality and good service. read more

My 2nd time visiting this store in Durango. A rare find these days, with high end, quality shoes for all types of activities. We purchased snow boots by Merrill which turned out to be perfect for the weather. The service is friendly, very patient and helpful. There's a 2nd Brown's store across the street which carries some of the same styles plus high end shoes like Mephisto and Naot, just to name a few. read more

I have been in Brown's Shoes a few times when I am able to accompany my sister to Durango. Initially it was shocking to me how expensive their shoes are. I did recently pony up for a pair of shoes which were $160. Yikes! I really liked them and knew I would wear them often. After three weeks both shoes started to split so I went on their website to contact them and ask what action I should take. I emailed them on both email addresses and waited a couple of days each time to hear back from them. NADA. So, I called them and got the information I needed to return or get a refund. After being ignored by them, I'm asking for a refund. read more

It doesn't get any better than this folks ! Adam Carr is the world's best shoe salesman. The entire experience was amazing ! We wandered in off the street and both bought shoes from him because of his knowledge and attention to detail. We live in Denver and will order through this store from now on. The shoes arrived as promised, with a business card and thank you card, and Adam called us to let us know the ship date in advance. No shipping charges either, The store has a great selection, but so do many stores, nobody has anyone like Adam though - I promise. He is the encyclopedia of shoes !! :) read more

Great store and awesome service! Very knowledgeable staff. Adam special ordered a pair of hiking boots for me without an obligation to purchase them, which is unheard of these days. I had purchased a pair of Chaco sandals years ago and also had exceptional service. I highly recommend this store. read more
