These days we get into so many discussions about how we are killing our own small businesses by…read moreshopping at the big box stores. Supporting small town stores like Graham's is a great way of doing that. I went in here and got some great Canadian made boots and they were fantastic. Lasted me several years of almost constant use. The kind of half shoe half boot sort of thing that is useful for all sorts of occasions. I think we all have to make an effort to reconnect with our small operators who can give us that personal service that is lacking some of the time at the big box stores.

The Shoe Company offers a lot of styles and variety of shoes, and has plenty of sizes. We walked in…read morelooking for 1 pair of runners or walkers for me, and we came out with 3 pairs - 2 for me and 1 for The Man. They offer purses too - some with a lot of very nice eye catching bling. Very tempting! They have a sale on now. Gosh darn it they have a wonderful variety of sandals right now! I need to visit here more often!!

A week went by and I asked them why only a label had been generated and no further shipping updates. Immediately they cancelled the order instead of just rectifying the situation or re-shipping. Why would I want it cancelled and refunded? I just wanted an update on what I paid for. Bizarre.

Nice selection of footwear, men, women, and children's. It's a large store. They had sandals,…read moreslippers and backpacks. Good prices; virtually everything on sale. Out of the 5 of us who walked in there together, 4 of us came out with footwear! I'd say that's a pretty good average. The only downside for me, anyway, was their selection of winter bootwear - it was slim and not to my taste. They do offer lovely women's boots, leather imitation, that go all the way up to the knee (like horse-riding boots do), very stylish for spring and fall but these aren't warm enough for our -40 winters! So we were talking to the salesman about this, and he said the winter boot selection has improved since they opened, but only after they complained to Head Office! This store has only been open since mid-October, and Famous Footwear is from St-Louis; there are only 3 or 4 Famous Footwear outlets in all of Canada. So, when HQ staff came into town to organize the opening, staff advised them that more and warmer winter footwear needed to be made available. Apparently, HQ staff was a bit perplexed at that, as they did offer little ankle-high boots (similar to those black ones they wore in the Star Trek TV series - "mod-boots"!), which would normally suffice for St Louis winters where it doesn't get colder than -5... Go figure! How lucky are they, eh?! However, based on our success with 4 out of 5 getting footwear on this visit, I will definitely be back.

Letellier Shoes sells higher end shoes that I would describe as "comfort over fashion". I mean some…read moreof the styles are cute, but comfort is the priority, fashion is secondary, lol. Brands include Mephisto, Ara, Pikolinos, Naot, Taos, Reiker, you get the picture. No sexy stilettos nor cute espadrilles here, haha. They do carry Sorels but none of the fashionable wedges or heels. And they carry Clarks, but again mostly flats or really low heels. I personally feel that the majority of their shoes are a bit "mature" looking (aka matronly, lol), but that's just my opinion. Prices are high, even when they have sales. I'd say most pairs are over $200. Service is satisfactory. Staff aren't super friendly, but not as snobby as I feared they would be. Letellier does not sell online. Right now Ottawa is in lockdown due to the Covid Pandemic, so Letellier Shoes is closed for indoor shopping, but they do have curbside pickup. Letellier Shoes was an independently owned shoe store that actually opened in Ottawa in the 1890's (!) It remained that way for 4 generations, but in 2014 it was sold to East Lake Limited, a company that owns several footwear stores across Ontario. If you like shoe stores like Solea Glebe Trotters, and Tanda Shoes, you'll like Letellier Shoes.

In town for a few days and looking for some boots to help with the still cold temps, snow and…read moreslush/ice. Didn't come prepared from NC. I found this place to have a diverse selection of shoes & boots. Since it was the end of the season there were not a lot of boots left in a size 8/8.5. I was able to get some Ugg ankle boots that did the trick. A little pricey but worth it since I still had 3 days left. Customer service was so-so, i wasn't overly impressed.

So The Shoe Company is a big shoe store, a little bit like DSW Designer Shoe Warehouse, except maybe with less designer brands. They have a colour coded system where different coloured stickers mean you get different additional percentages off. I usually look for orange stickers which is 50% off and red which is 70% off. They have what I would consider regular mainstream shoe styles. They don't carry anything too "out there" or avant garde. I love shoes, or more accurately, I love boots and sandals, but not those weird boot-sandal hybrids like knee high boots with open toes, what is up with that? Just my personal style opinion, no offense to boot-sandal hybrid lovers, you are probably just too cool for me. Where was I going with this? Oh yes, I love footwear, so I browse around at The Shoe Company a lot, lol. This particular location is in a strip mall, so there's lots of free parking. It's in the same strip mall as Factory Direct, Ardene, Winners, Laura, Value Village and Dollarama. Also Sushi 168 and World Burger, in the event that shopping for shoes makes you hungry.

Both deserve a high 5. Super helpful. I've made a couple of purchases in 2 weeks, will be back again next week for another pair of Uggs I have on hold. Bought protective spray too, glad they reminded me as I was out! They remembered me as I gave them a nice review on line when the email survey came thru... I've been so busy I had forgotten I had filled it out. Make sure you give them an email address as I already have accumulated points for $ off my next purchase. I had a great visit today post Black Friday, no crowds and got just what I wanted. Thanks, ladies! See you soon and I appreciate you keeping me in winter style!!!
