This shoe store is the only place I buy shoes. Their employees are so kind, helpful and knowledgeable about foot wear. I buy a new pair of Haflingers every year or every other year and in the summer love their Think sandals. They also have a cute selection of boutique style clothing and accessories. You are going to pay over $80.00 but they only carry the best brands and honestly there service is how it used to be. One of A kind place! Just bought a very cool sweater/jacket. read more

I called ahead asking if they carried size 12 in both a specific shoe and just in general. While they said they didn't have the specific shoe I was looking for, they said they had a variety of shoes in size 12 so my folks and I made the haul up there (it was my birthday and they were in town from a few states away...they wanted to buy me something and I needed a few replacement pairs of shoes). There were several sales people on the floor helping other people. I went to the sale rack first and then asked an older lady if they had Vionics in size 12. She said no. When I had called they had implied that they had other Vionic styles in twelves so i thought that was weird. I grabbed the loafer I wanted and waited for another rep thinking she just misunderstood me. The next woman was more helpful, but the situation still wasn't ideal. I tried on a pair of Danskos that were an EU 42 but that is really just an 11.5. (Eyes Dansko from across an ocean...) If we're being honest here, I think there were no actual size twelves in the store, they didn't want to look, or they didn't know how to look. I asked her what she had in the store that came in a 12, but she wanted me to go around the store and point to individual shoe styles and say "How about this one? How about this one? How about this one?" Listen...I'm 42 years old. I know that 99% of the time the answer is going to be "no...we don't have that in a 12." I have 30 years of shoe buying trauma built up, I don't need that in my life on my birthday. So when I ask what styles you have in a size 12? I know there are probably going to be like six of them tops. And if there are more that is AMAZING but SAY so, have it written down somewhere. Take me to the computer and let's look up your inventory by SIZE so you can show me what you have in stock TODAY. (((It's why I'm here and not on zappos.))) Don't waste my time and make me feel like I don't belong. Especially when you brag about having extended sizes. And telling me you can order those Vionics? Not helpful. Because I can do that too. I'm there because your website made me feel like I might've able to try on shoes like a regular person...in a store. NOPE. Happy birthday to me. Sigh. read more

The last of a dying breed - a family run shoe store. We shop here because they have a great selection of wide shoes which are increasingly hard to find. The staff here is very helpful and friendly. They are located in downtown Anoka so you can pair this with other shopping activities. read more

Peterson Shoes - Downtown Anoka - Shoe Stores Near Me - Anoka, Minnesota

I drove 40 minutes to get to Peterson Shoes and it was well worth the trip. They were excellent. They were very helpful and spent time working with me to find the right shoes. They had a great selection and many options. From now on, this is always where I will go to buy shoes. Thank You read more

I feel really weird rating a shoe store. They have limited higher end brands (Clark, Keen, Dansko), knowledgeable staff, and a decent closeout table. There is a shoe repair shop in the back which I plan on trying in the near future. Walked in to browse and my wife and I walked out with $200 worth of shoes. Am I really reviewing a shoe store? Sigh. read more

I needed to get some new shoes for work, something that would really be good quality. I went to Petersons today to try and find something. Sandy, the lady who works there, was great! She didn't seem like she was just trying to make a sale. She actually seemed to want me to get good shoes. When I mentioned the ones that I was trying on seemed uncomfortable, she didn't try to push the sale. She was patient and spent a while helping me pick what shoes to buy. She didn't want to sell me a shoe that wouldn't feel good after I bought it. Way to go, Sandy! read more

Really great store. I usually stop in to check the sale prices. Got a nice pair of shoes for my son for $20! Not bad.

So rude ! I have hard to fit feet and I know that it's a challenge The sales lady was so rude I couldn't believe it . Basically told me that your feet are big and this is all that will work Wow Ill take my business to Schuler shoes . I spend a lot of money on shoes and want them to have a style but to be so rude . sad because I like to support small local business read more

I have Morton's Neuroma and was limping around at my wits end trying to find a comfortable, supportive shoe that wouldn't inflame my foot any further and that was also good looking and stylish. The staff member who helped me at Peterson shoes was extremely knowledgeable, patient and friendly. She fit me with wonderful inserts so that I can use many of my shoes at home and then helped me to find a supportive, ultra comfortable shoe that keeps me pain free all day long (they just happen to be darling too). I went back a few months later to get something I can wear in the house all the time( I can't go barefoot it hurts) and the staff member ( someone different from the first time) was again efficient, friendly and knowledgeable. I found their shoes to be priced the same as they are on the brand's websites. read more

Peterson Shoes is amazing! My podiatrist said getting shoes from Peterson Shoes was the first step in treating my plantar fasciitis. I've been so happy with their service and selection of shoes and inserts to help with arch support. The staff is incredible and they are so knowledgeable about what my feet need in terms of support and cushion. With their assistance and guidance, the plantar fasciitis is gone within a few months. They are highly recommended by me. They will do a custom fit and evaluation of your footwear needs. In addition to shoes and inserts/orthotics, they also have the SnoBall which is great, plus socks specifically for plantar fasciitis. No more sore feet for me! Thanks! read more

I'm interested that in the website we are encouraged to rave about the customer service. I work down the road and have been in the store many times and have never had great customer service. Kind of a snotty feel. I guess I'll be seeing Betsy at Schuler Shoes. Sorry local business. read more

They carry high end orthotic shoes that are hard to find unless you shop on the internet. The first time I shopped there, the staff acted annoyed to have to be there. I decided to give them another try and they are still annoyed and hey could have cared less if I was purchasing the proper shoe fit. I don't think I'll return. read more

My mother has suffered from plantar facetious for years. It was getting to the point where the pain of this condition was affecting her mobility. I brought her into Peterson's in hopes of finding comfortable, supportive shoes. I was thoroughly impressed by the knowledge of the staff. They took their time to listen and carefully fit her with the perfect shoes. We were so happy with the experience that we have returned a couple of times for additional shoes. I'm happy to say that her plantar facetious is no longer causing her problems and she loves all of her new shoes. The shoes are rather expensive but I have learned that when it comes to the health of your feet, it is well worth the investment. I have also invested in a super cute pair of boots. They are the most comfortable shoes I own. I would highly recommend Peterson's to anyone. read more

Great family owned shoe shore. Very helpful and knowledgeable staff. I have a hard time finding shoes that fit me well. Went in looking for a good pair of walking and shoes and left with 4 pair of shoes. read more

Peterson shoes is a very high end store with poor sales and really snobby and crabby staff members. It could be a gold mine but they act like they are doing you a favor by helping you buy THEIR overpriced shoes. No sales only a table in the back of shoes they couldn't sell. Avoid this store if you can... read more

Stopped in looking for a pair of shoes for my grandson. The lady was rude and impatient with him, yanking his leg for measurement. We always try to shop at local small businesses first, willing to pay a little more for that friendly family service which is Definitely not at Petersons! To the outlet mall we go! read more
