I was in Montreal one weekend and saw a pair of shoes in the window I liked but Scarpa was closed…read more I took a pic, emailed it to the info email on their website, and got in touch with Mark the owner about shipping the shoes to me in New York. He had my size but there was a blemish that he went to check to see if the cobbler could fix. We remained in touch but never made a move on buying. Fast forward 2 months later and I'm in Montreal again. I went by and spoke to Diana and what do you know - Scarpa had the shoes still. Not only that, but she offered 50% off since the blemish was still there. Plot twist ! I didn't like the shoes that much in person BUT I did like another pair Diana suggested for me and bought those ! Wearing them right now and they are fire. Great experience all around.

One of my favourite neighbourhood shops in the Victoria village, with a great collection of shoes, ranging from casual sandals to fancy heels and a nice selection of boots. They often have unique items that I haven't seen in other stores. Service is always super friendly and helpful. Prices tend to be in the $100-300 range.

At first I walked to their old location and when I saw it was closed I was bummed, I bought my…read moreBlundstones there last year and I was happy with the place and the service and its proximity to my house so when I saw the sign saying they were just a little further down the road on Beaubien I grinned and carried on and was not disappointed. The new space is a bit bigger and clean and bright and full of fairly-priced super-solid winter boots. The service I had today was perfect, no pressure at all, totally friendly, perfectly bilingual, gave me all the info with no up-sell tactics or false friendliness. I tried on a couple things, found exactly what I was hoping to find, got great advice on getting my old boots resoled after an unfortunate campfire incident, and left perfectly pleased and with warm dry feet. Some of the styles here for women's boots and hats are, in my opinion, way cheesy. They have nice quality goods but I would buy more here if the look was a little less nineties and a little more high quality Canadian and US made workwear-inspired wools and leathers. But hey, that's just me. Great experience, highly recommend.

This is a great place to buy shoes and boots! They have an enormous selection of heels and flats…read morehowever their rotation of boots is very seasonal. It's an outlet for Aldo so you can find yourself with Blowfish, Minnetonka and other more expensive brands along companies like Spring. The prices are always less than $40 (usually boots) and it's common to see pairs at 2 for $40 (like when I picked up my Minnetonkas). As someone who wears size 9, I have a smaller selection, but they have a TON of size 6-8 on a regular basis. The place is huge so if you love hug heels be prepared to spend an hour or two to narrow down which 6 pairs you want to leave with!

Love this spot! They get new drops every day around 11, so it's definitely best to go early. I've…read morealready found so many good pieces in the past week alone I picked up two purses and two pairs of shoes. Prices are amazing: purses are usually around $30, shoes range from $15-$25, and boots are about $45. There's always a great selection, especially for women (men's section is a bit smaller though). They also have cute accessories at the cash like sunglasses, jewelry, and keychains. Staff is super friendly too!

No joke, I've seen brand new Doc Martens here for $34.99 (their going price for all boots). I've found pony-skin leopard print sneakers for $24.99, Hunter rain boots for $34.99, Vans sneakers, Converse sneakers, Birkenstock sandals, Keds, Toms and the list of types of shoes is endless. Anything from Aldo shoes basically, summer sandals, wedge shoes, boots, ankle booties, heels, bags, purses. You'll often see people waiting around in the front right before the store opens in the morning because they literally get new stock everyday. I'm very lucky since this is in my neighborhood so I can drop in and browse often. It looks sketchy as hell from the outside but you'd be VERY surprised as to what you might find inside. CASH ONLY

This shoe store has been in Montreal's Little Italy forever and sells Italian shoes made in Italy…read more I remember back in the day, Montreal was littered with independent Italian family-run shoe stores where they privately imported Italian shoes and had their own suppliers back in Italy, usually located in little out-of-the-way strip malls. I used to see those types of shoe stores in areas where the Italian community are particularly strong, areas like Lasalle, Ville Emard, Pointe Aux Trembles and once upon a time, even in Pointe-Claire. I don't know what happened, but most of those shops are now gone and it's a shame because those shoes lasted me forever and I always got compliments on them because they were singular in their styles and they were reasonably priced. I think Cortina is probably one of the few left now. The service I received here over the years has always been friendly and the shoes are great. Prices here are not cheap but for the quality you get, they are fair. I usually buy boots here.

They also have Boulet which are boot Made in Quebec, difficult to find a place to get some but mainly they are known for their Cowboy boots but John Lennon use to have a pair of classy-zipper Mods style low boots. Love iti! They also have lot of shoes for the kids and prices are within normal range without being that much of a bargain. As for the Cordonnerie, they are old school, they can fix lot of different shoes and staff have lot of experience. Cet endroit n'est pas seulement une cordonnerie mais une boutique de chaussure, botte, sandale, name it, ils ont tout! Ils ont aussi des Boulet qui sont connus principalement pour leurs botte de cowboy hyper confortable mais pour les fans de chaussure Fait au Québec, c'est difficile de trouvé un endroit où on peut en avoir, encore pire, simplement les commander! (John Lennon en portait! enough said!). C'est une boutique séparé en deux et ils ont beaucoup d'options pour les enfants. C'est une surface est vraiment plus petite qu'un Globo, c'est sur, mais il y a beaucoup de variétés. Les prix sont dans la norme sans être vraiment peu dispendieux. Pour ce qui est de la cordonnerie, c'est old school.

About 2-3 years ago, I got really into Herschel bags. There was one pattern in particuliar that I…read moredesperately wanted. It was a bright blue with palm trees. I couldn't find it anywhere except online and if there's something you need to know about me is that I don't pay for shipping. Ever. So I gave up the search and accepted that I would never have the bag of my dreams.....until one day when my boyfriend brought me to Mile End Kicks. I live nearby yet never thought about checking it out because it completely slipped my mind that it existed. But there it was. MY BAG *heart*. My boyfriend surprised me with it and I've had it ever since. Now I make sure to visit every few months to see if they've gotten anything new recently that could be cool. I don't buy very many shoes so I usually skip that section of the store.

Stumbled upon this place a few years ago when I was in Montreal and bought a pair of shoes I loved…read more I was back in the city this week and stopped in for another pair. I decided to try on something different, but was having an issue where the 9's were fitting weird in the heel whereas the 9.5's felt snug, and I was trying to figure out why. After explaining this to both the lady who was helping me and a man who appeared to be a manager(?), the man leans over to the lady and whispers "he's crazy", and then goes on to say in a lower voice that "he'll probably try all these on and just buy the initial pair" (the shoes I came back to buy). First I'll just say that it was pretty clear that there was a fit issue, as it was easily demonstrable by me trying the two shoes on and lifting my heel. I really wish he had of looked at the issue and tried to figure it out, instead of just explaining what a heel counter was and how Onitsuka's don't have them (it was two sizes of the same shoe so this is irrelevant). The lady, by contrast, provided constructive comments like 'try to really tighten the lower laces to push your foot back'. I've worked this job, and I know how customers can be a pain. And if you're not gonna be helpful, the least you can do is not make such comments within earshot of the customer. Or, maybe in French, as at least I wouldn't understand it. It was a huge turn off and I likely won't be going back, which is unfortunate because this place has an awesome show selection and the people are generally super helpful.

I forgot about this place! But if you are looking for Campers or Superga they have those! The store…read moreis clean and keeps a small selection of high quality shoes for women, men and children in nice colours. These are shoes you can wear for years, kids shoes you can throw in the wash and pass on to the next little one as they grow out of them. I was there today and the owner - who has been there for 25 years - magically pulled out exactly what I needed from the back and only charged me $30. Perfecto, merci. Don't bother calling or emailing, he's not interested. Adorably, the computer he has at the cash just has shoe size charts taped on the screen, covering it entirely. I don't roll this way personally, but it makes me happy, especially when coupled with a small, tasteful collection of sensible footwear.
