Better to go barefooted instead of wearing anything they sale. Yelp removed my first review because Red's cried which is indicative of the staffs attitude. Over rated, over priced and low quality shoes. Staff follow you like you're gonna steal. Then they give attitude when you ask for help. Shoes are of the lowest quality and will fall apart in less than a year. Quit hiring crying lazy staff is my advice. read more

One of the most customer service friendly businesses we go too. There always seems to be an abundance of educated friendly staff on hand. While you're not going to find the prices like you see in giant box stores, there is a better selection and quality merchandise and they make up for price with customer service. They gave everything from sandals, sneakers, work boots, dress shoes for every age. read more

Red’s Shoe Barn - Shoe Stores Near Me - Dover, New Hampshire

I was in desperate need of some new nursing shoes. I'm a big fan of Dansko's & Sanitas & knew about Red's Shoe barn. I met an US tech when my Mom was getting an US @ Exeter hospital & she had told me that they had a big selection of Dansko's so I headed up there one day from Portsmouth. Its not a bad drive depending on if you take the highway or go thru town. Well be prepared if you go there now because they are doing construction on the road right out front so it can be a little bit of a pain to get into their small parking lot & dusty due to the dirt road. The store really isn't that big but they are well staffed with plenty of employee's to help you with your shoe needs because the one's that are on the shelves come in different sizes but are kept out back. I found an employee right when I walked in & I asked her where the Dansko's & Sanita's were kept. She pointed me in the right direction. I checked out the Dansko wall briefly then went over to the clearance section & was able to try on a few that were there. No luck so I headed back over to the Dansko wall & found some help to get my different sizes out back. Her name was Nicole & she was friendly, patient & quick. After trying on a few pairs I found a winning pair. She wrote me up a slip then told me I was able to chose between a small hand sanitizer or Dansko bag for purchasing a pair of Dansko shoes. Of course I went with the bag. Portable & super cute! I give 5 STARS for the store being well staffed & service was quick. Also the large selection of sizes of the shoes I was trying on was a plus. The reason I gave 3 STARS was due to the limited selection of the Dansko's. They didn't have many printed Dansko's. They had mostly solid colors but I wanted some fun designs to chose from & this was not the place for that. They also had a small selection of nursing Danskos too. Also 3 STARS due to their tiny section of Sanita's. They had like 6 pairs of shoes to chose from. I also wasn't a fan of their really small parking lot & when I got there it was pretty full & crowded. I wasn't impressed with the construction right outside but that's something they don't have control over. Every place is always worth a trip & for one to check it out on their own. Hope you find what your looking for when you come here. read more

Huge shoe store, several floors with thousands of options. I find them to be rather pricey but I have to go here to get special shoes that my foot doctor recommended. All of the staff are super friendly, from the cashiers to the people working the floor, I've never had a bad experience. They have a large clearance section, but sometimes the clearance price is just as much if not more than what I'd usually pay somewhere else for the same thing. If you're looking for friendliness and a lot of options, this is your place, if you're looking for super affordable, this isn't your place. read more

Always the best experience! I had the pleasure of working with Maddie in the women's sneaker section, I didn't see the color that I had wanted so she ordered me some Hokas in a color that they do not carry, she went above and beyond to help me. They are my favorite sneakers of all time I've ever had. Thank you so much Maddie! At pick up I also was interested in Birkenstocks and Jodi helped find some that were hiding out back for me and was so sweet. She helped me with multiple styles. I had not selected any that day but came back in the following week and helped me out again a week later and I was so appreciative of her assistance. Thank you Jodi! read more

Very place to look for Shoes. A great selection of shoes here and Very Friendly Staff. Way better than some Bigger Business Stores. I went to another place with a Family Member and no one asked if I Needed any Help. Not at Reds, it was Somewhere Else. A Huge store in a an Another City. If I want Shoes, I Only go to Red's Shoe Barn. Never had a Bad Experience here. Always Satisfied with Everything here. read more

Best customer service ever. Never had a problem with them while returning defective Timberland boots. All associates are great. Great selection for everyone. read more

I had the pleasure of getting assistance from Andrew in the men's shoe department. He provided quite an education in choosing the proper running shoes and spent time fitting me. I really appreciate that he went above and beyond. read more

The Best Selection of DANSKO CLOGs anywhere. Dansko clogs are the very best in clogs. Sure they are not cheap to buy. What they really are is below: 1) Sturdy, they last forever. 2) Colorful and fun! 3) COMFORTABLE!!! 4) Warm in winter time on your feet. 5) Fashionable, 6) Non-slip. 7) Wide toe boxed. 8) Repairable. 9) Easy to wear. 10) SOLD in many styles, sizes and colors at Red's Shoes Barn, Dover, NH... where the staff are super nice. The Red's staff are helpful, courteous and polite. Red's Shoe Barn, is the best for shoe shopping, boot shopping and the handbags!!! Their yearly sales, the warm - mee!, warm wool socks, the wonderful felt slipper clogs, and the great service. Red's always, has many sizes and styles in stock, Always. I have not bought shoes, especially Dansko's anywhere else since I moved to NH... and all kinds of shoe laces! I LOVE RED's. read more

Amazing service once again! My husbands well worn/loved sneakers fell apart. We'd ordered a few pairs online - they didn't fit right. He's hard to fit. So we waited for Reds to open up. So during this stressful time, we waited 5 days after reopening. Andrew in the men's department was extremely helpful. He was so knowledgeable about the brands, how they ran, the different footbeds and what would work best. We ended up buying two different pairs! Both fit well and were comfortable - huge accomplishment! Highly recommend. We will definitely be back! read more

Love this place! There are so many shoe choices and there's always someone nearby to help

I usually try to support local businesses. Red's has great selection, pleasant knowledgeable help, and very fair prices. I just re-ordered my favorite Tiva's. (3rd pair over 5 years) The young woman answering the call searched my size and came back with the colors available. She was professional and pleasant and transferred me to another pleasant and helpful man at the front desk to complete my transaction. I can drive there tomorrow and they will bring out the shoes for curbside service. Great service during a pandemic and the shoes were ten dollars less than Zappos. Sure, the store is an old style building and the parking lot a bit weird, but it's local business at its best! read more

If Reds is going to be open they need to take responsibility for their customers acting in accordance with safety measures. Masks should be worn. If you don't want to wear one shop elsewhere. Children should not be allowed to run around touching goods. Social distancing should be observed. Went today. It was chaos. Left immediately. Staff at risk. Customers at risk. read more

Red's Shoe Barn in Dover is my favorite shoe store. This review is for the Men's department. It is full-service, you will be offered help and advice if you need it, but can also browse through what is on display. Unlike big box stores, you are saved the frustration of digging through disorganized stacks of shoes to try to figure out if they have your size. An employee can quickly find if they have it in your size and bring it out to you to try on. The selection is excellent; I have found the only thing they don't carry much of here is fashion sneakers or very low end shoes. I have noticed however, that they also carry shoes from smaller companies, so I have found some really interesting stuff. They have a great selection of shoelaces, socks, and other shoe store stuff. Since they tend to carry higher quality shoes, the prices are not low. This is not a discount store, but they do always have some discounted shoes and occasional sales. There is no better place to buy safety shoes and work boots. read more

Yes, fair Bostonians.....this New Hampshire-ite has frequented the Barn of Shoe many a time. Don't knock it for its seemingly boondock-ish name...this place has great variety and price! A reasonable selection of comfortable work shoes (Dansko and Ariat being my favorite), hiking shoes (Merrill and Keen), boots (North Face, Ugg, etc), and loads athletic shoe brands. If you're looking for footwear on the cheap, the entire middle of the first floor is laid out with rows of discounted shoes (like the graveyard of footwear); I've found some great deals - but you have to search EVERY box for what you want. The place is generally staffed by under-paid (and often un-enthused) high schoolers....but they're helpful enough (just get me the box with the right size and shoe style....that is aaaaaaaaall I require). Plenty of parking and great staff will lead you to making the perfect shoe purchase - I'm pretty sure the same woman has been behind the counter EVERY time I have come here to buy shoes (...over the last ten years). I used to drive from my New Hampshire home, I now drive from Boston, and I'll probably keep driving from wherever I'll be in the years to come - a great shoe destination! read more

I love this store ok so maybe I make mistakes and get my shoes a little bit to narrow but that's on me, I love the store and I love the prices I have noticed though that in the women's section the sales girls are more attentive to your needs where in the men's section down stairs they bring you the shoes and then walk away instead of asking you about the fit and if they are wide enough for you but that's the only thing I find wrong with the customer service read more

Quality, service, dependability, and best selection of shoes, boots, sandals, and clogs. Red's Shoe Barn is consistently good, a nice family atmosphere and the customer service is fantastic. My favorite place to shop for footwear. read more

Great deals on shoes for all members of the family. Every time I'm visit NH for the holidays, I pick up a new pair of running shoes. It helps to have an idea about your needs & preferences as the staff may not have sport-related expertise. Don't be intimidated by the full parking lot. There's plenty of parking behind the store. read more

At the risk of sounding like the proverbially petulant consumer I found the staff a bit scarce when I wanted to try on some new hiking shoes. Ended up digging through the clearance bin and despite my aforementioned misgivings got lucky and found a decent pair cheaper than what I was aiming for. All that aside still wasn't exactly thrilled standing in the main part of the men's shoe section holding this single shoe for 10+ minutes with no one around with a Bill Murray like facial expression growing blanker by the second... read more

The young staff is friendly and they are one of a few places that carry a variety of widths which really helps those of us who have hard to fit feet. I'm not sure who the bulk of shoemakers are targeting but they're missing large numbers of us who would like stylish shoes regardless of how wide our feet are, so I appreciate Red's making these available. If the staff could also help with suggestions and recommendations I think that would make them even better. read more

I LOVE this store. Been coming here since I was a kid and to this day they've been incredible. I bought some boots from a god-awful vendor in Hampton who refused to refund them. I brought them here and plead my case to Jeremiah and he was very understanding. He and I work something out and I left very satisfied. I've never had a bad experience here and they are always willing to help. Can't picture myself buying shoes anywhere else ever again. read more

Great selection of shoes; a bit of cowgirl, funk and classics. Service is impeccable. Prices are comparable to online and come on folks, you get to try them on! read more

Great place, great owners good quality, awesome prices bought some great shoes here. Very reasonable!

I walked in manger was there in 1 min and i walked out with a pair of brand new boots that cost me 184 bucks for no charge or hassle. I friggen love this place this is cust service to say the least. Thanks reds and there fantastic employees read more

This is shoe nirvana (well men's workboots Nirvana at the very least) Fantastic selection of major name brands and some not-so-major name brands as well. Excellent prices and far less than one would expect to pay over the boarder at the so called Kittery Outlets etc. etc.... Yes friends Red's Shoe Barn is in good ole TAX FREE NH! Thank You NH!!!! If you are looking for high style and high fashion, not sure they've got it, BUT if you need some kick ass work boots insulated or not, waterproof or not, logger style or not.....you NEED to shop here. My Favorite place for boots and man do I have a load of great boots! read more

Good selection, however most of the staff are teenagers and don't know the inventory. I hate shopping there because I am on my own most times. There are one or two that are actually great at their jobs though. Great prices, just go and be prepared to spend some time looking. read more

After skipping a pair of Boggs for my son from L.L. Bean in Freeport, I found the same pair here on sale for $100 less then Beans price!

Absolutely terrible experience ... cashier was rude to us when we couldn't find our rewards account info after spending a lot of money there about a year ago and was extremely insulting to my wife ... we will NEVER come back read more

Big shoe store in a not so big city. Had to get a fast pair of waterproof shoes quickly when not so close to home. Got a pair of water resistant Crocs for a decent price. As stated in earlier reviews, help is not enthusiastic, but is passable. It's not on the main drag, so a GPS or a look at the map first helps. read more

I've been shopping here for years. Always a good price, someone there to help you and great gear. I like looking through the clearance shoes...they seem to always have something I want. Nam Y. read more

Had both an excellent and terrible experience today. Two young women sold me a pair of New Balance suited for Plantar's Factitious. Very helpful, kind and pleasant. That was excellent. The terrible part was a male who I asked questions to, very harsh and unwelcoming. Then I was standing in doorway assisting w/looking for Oofoos, he yelled at me to get out I didn't belong there. I used to work there when "Red" was alive, Dave, Harry and Nancy were managers. They would never have put up w/someone like that. I may return my NB's and that will be the last time I shop there. Nasty experience. read more

Fantastic! Great selection, great prices, and great customer service! Just went to talk to them about a month old pair of sneakers that did not stand up to wear at all. The manufacturer wouldn't help me, but Red's did. They took great care of me. Will not buy shoes anywhere else anymore! read more

they have a good work staff, Treisa was the one who helped me there and she recommended different shoes and I loved them all! definitely talk to her she knows her stuff! read more
