shoo is a very unique and unordinary fashion forward boutique with cool items you won't find anywhere else! Don't let the name of the shop or the display window fool you. It's more than just a cool "shoo" store with hand made jewelry, clothing, leather handbags, fun gifts, and more! I fell in love with how the owner Kate Blake displayed items carefully throughout her store. She was very nice and helped me find other items in the back of the store too. Everywhere I turned there was something catching my eyes! I came upon this store by sheer accident and sadly it was almost closing time. I definitely will be coming back soon! That large dark red hand cut crafted leather bag is in my mind. If you're a sock person, you definitely have got to stop in! 100's of cool socks from practically all over the world including socks with fun attitudes!! The shoe collections for both men and women are amazing! Eclectic, sporty, dress, high fashion, casual and the like you won't find these styles anywhere. Well maybe Europe I suppose. shoo store is a fun and enjoyable treat to visit that I'll easily want to return to! read more

I wore these to the Flea Market, Fort Myers Fl. I got multiple compliments from fellow shoppers and store/stall owners! I love these, then add the marvelousness of the store and the service I receive, I couldn't ask for more. 1 week later, at the Flea Market, Fort Myers. I got more compliments on these shoes and was remembered at several shops for my shoes the week before. More shoes to be love by me and others! All from SHOO! read more

I have such a great experience every time I visit Shoo. During my recent visit, yesterday, the lovely owner Kate helped me find the perfect pair of sneakers. She took the time to ensure I would love my new shoes. Can't say enough good things about this gem read more

Do NOT trust!! Stopped in Memorial Day while waiting for our table at Sweet diner. They DO have fabulous shoes. I tried on 4 pairs & loved all 4. We were called so they offered to hold. Great! I confirmed how late they were open...4. We got tied up & I was flying out the next day so I called to see what time they open 10. Darn too late! Couldn't stop think about the shoes so we jumped in an Uber and arrived at 3:30 ...closed!! I left a Vm in case they were still in the store. The following day I was on the plane & got a return call from the store saying they still had them and would hold through the following day to give me time to order online. I got a call today asking what time I'd be purchasing as they had someone there wanting a pair. I confirmed I'd buy them by the end of the day but was out working and wouldn't be in front of the computer until after 5. She got argumentative and said she'd only hold till the store closed at 6. I said that's not what I was told but I'm not going to fight over it. I went to order them this evening and they're not there!! SO disappointing. I've never jumped through hoops to buy something especially at $265/pair!! Poor customer service and Bad business. I'll shop where they appreciate the customer & honor their word. read more

I love this store! The brands are fun and different - things you can't get at DSW. The price point is high but you can score good deals if you follow them on social (they do a half-off sale twice per year for example!) They also have jewelry, clothing, and accessories from local artists and businesses. If you want to shop local, I recommend shopping at shoo. I also want to say that I've been to shoo many times and I've always found the staff to be incredibly friendly and professional! I love shopping here. read more

WOW! Talk about Customer Service delivered by Miss Carol at Shoo! I came to (Shoo) this weekend to find my size of a pair of Blundstone's as I had ordered some online and didn't realize they were in Australian sizes. Carol not only treated me like a paying customer (knowing full well I was making my purchase elsewhere) and went above and beyond to give me a swift and effective experience. She was happy to let me try on 5 different pairs and made the recommendation of taking a photo of my the correct shoe size so I could get it right this time. As a result of my time there, I brought in a few friends who ended up making their own purchases in the store. Thank you Carol (like Christmas Carols ) for making my experience at (Shoo) one to remember. I'll be back again for sure as I love supporting businesses that are all about treating humans with love. read more

This review lives in the future. It lives in a time where I have become independently wealthy. It lives in a time where someone has given me money to buy shoes. "Here Rachel. Have this money. Go buy some shoes at this really really awesome but ridiculously expensive shoe store." Shoo. Store. I get it though, I do. These shoes are PRICEY. It's not mark-up central. Do you know what it means when you utter the name John Fluevog? You don't? It means trade all your money for some of the nicest shoes ever to have ever been forged into existence. I did not by anything from Shoo... although that doesn't mean I didn't want to. They have some super cute locally crafted jewelry and handbags, and they aren't without compassion, either. There IS a sale rack. This place is very particular. It's a high-end shoe boutique that carries top designers from around the world. If you can justify the price tag, it's a magical, marvelous place. If you can't but keep trying to justify the price tag, it's a magical and dangerous place. If you would never in a million years entertain the notion of spending over $200 dollars on shoes, maybe this isn't the place for you. OH! Their website IS awesome. Maia is correct. To better get an idea of what I'm talking about, check it. I'll probably go back to Shoo, though. Maybe one day they'll be something on sale I really like and will throw down for. Until then, my camel colored Zara boots will have to do. read more

ALWAYS a must whenever we visit Milwaukee. Their selection of shoes is beautiful and curated, and their customer service is wonderful. I've never left a visit with them without a pair of shoes, and I've never gone a day wearing their shoes that I don't get a compliment! read more

Love Shoo. SUPER cool place, super cool shoes, purses, wraps, jewelry and more. AND, the owners and staff are amazing!

Love this locally owned shoe boutique! If you are looking for one-of-a-kind shoes that are top-quality then this is your place. The service is also great--the owner is frequently in the store helping customers and her other help is knowledgeable and professional. I've read the previous reviews and it is not fair to give a business a lower rating because you cannot afford their products. Shoo is a boutique that sells high quality, fashion-forward shoes that will hold up for years. If you are looking for cheap knock-offs this is not your place, go to payless. read more

Hip store, hip shoes, knowledgable staff. I have purchased more than 10 pairs of shoes over the years from Shoo, and the shoes I get are always great quality. Recently, a pair I bought didn't fit quite right, and it was no problem- easy to return...no questions asked. I will continue to give them my business. I do NOT want to see this small business go away! read more

One if not the only brick and mortar store in all of Milwaukee that sells the epic Mighty Wallet. I purchased my first one there almost two years ago and was delighted this past weekend to see that they still carry them. They have the new tablet cases as well. Aside from that the store seems to be the hot spot for all things considered trendy in the fashion shoe industry as well. Places like this need to exist. read more

I just need to give a special shout out to this place.. I came in with my boyfriend looking for a pair of shoes because my sandals had broken and I'm from Texas. They gave me such wonderful customer service and even when I didn't find a right pair for me and ended up not buying a pair of sandals to replace mine. These lovely people helped me fix my pair of shoes the best they could! I can't tell you how much I appreciate that kindness! They have wonderful styles and cool tshirts as well! 10/10 recommend this place because of smiling friendly faces and helpful service! THANKS SO MUCH SHOO STAFF! read more

I ordered a pair of Birkenstocks online from Shoo. They arrived promptly. I had a small issue, and customer services resolved it quickly and to my satisfaction. I will definitely be doing business with them again. read more

To the people complaining about cost: Their shoes are more expensive because they're made really well. Meaning they'll last longer, which essentially means you'll actually save money. read more

Just bought a fabulous pair of A.S. 98 boots at shoo! The staff was as excited about their shoes as I was and I've never had so much fun spending money on shoes before! read more

Staff is so rude it's pathetic. The woman refused to help us and was snarky when she did attend to our group. Cool store with great quality brands. It's a shame the staff is such a turn off. read more

Some interesting shoes. Some ugly shoes. All very expensive shoes. When 60% off still means over $200, I know I am in the wrong store. Better to treat it like the art gallery it is nestled in. Nice to look at stuff, but I am unlikely to buy. read more

This shoe store is utterly fantastic. There would be a rip in the fabric of the timespace continuum (literally) if I did not have my pair of brown U-road shoes. Also critical - cydwoq. read more

I found the staff and owner, Kate very engaging. I loved the selection of shoes, the only problem was that all the ones I loved were not available in my common size 8 . Anyone who enjoys shopping will find this store a feast for the eyes. Innovative displays and unique items everywhere. It's not just a shoe store, there are great gift ideas, t-shirts, fun socks, baby items and one of a kind jewelry, some designed by the owner. I really enjoyed my experience here and plan to visit again if Im back in Milwaukee... hopefully when they get their new shipment before all the good stuff gets taken. read more

Maybe the best thing about Shoo is their comprehensive and easy to use website. You don't have to take a reviewers' word for it that the collection is or is not interesting. You can see it for yourself. For what they aim to do, they do it really well. What I mean by that is that they don't want to have as broad a selection as a big box store like--ahem, DSW. They aim to carry more unique and handcrafted brands like John Fleuvog, Fiorentini + Baker, and Cydwoq. I was thrilled to get a pair of Fiorentini + Baker booties here--ones that I couldn't find at Barney's or other high end stores. The staff were really helpful and not pressuring me to buy at all. Kudos to Shoo. read more

Our family absolutely LOVES Shoo! They have a great selection of cool and stylish shoes. Everyone will find something here. Great men's styles, awesome women's shoes, and they even have styles my teenage daughter loves! The staff were very helpful as well. Shoo never disappoints read more

Shoo has an amazing selection of high quality shoes that are unique and made to last. Every time I wear a pair I purchased there I get complimented on them. Additionally, knowing that I am supporting a local business makes me feel great. read more

The shoes are high quality. The location is chic and eclectic. The service is divine. Strongly recommended.

Fantastic shoe store in a great location. Huge selection of high quality, fun, stylish shoes. Great customer service, staff is very knowledgeable and very helpful. Highly recommend for all shoe needs. read more

The shoes are beautiful, the displays are done nicely, if it wasn't for the staff/owner I'm sure it would be one of my favorite places to shop. I have an addiction for shoes and am willing to spend money for a good pair. However, the staff feels they need to instantly judge you on if you are going to make a purchase or not. If they feel like you are not, you become a nuisance. Sharp responses to answers, pure annoyance in their tone, and overall unfriendly. I used to be in retail management for many years, I know what customer service is, especially in high priced stores, and they could use some proper training on what that means. read more

This store is a gem! Been a customer for years and constantly pleased with the great service and fantastic selection of quality, unique shoes. Staff was helpful and had great suggestions for shoes that best suit my business casual lifestyle. Just left with another pair or All Blacks and excited about the rockin' A.S.98 boots. Can't wait to sport my new kicks this fall! read more

I have been into shoo three times. the first time, i was just turning eighteen. the staff seemed rude, but i brushed it off; i figured it was nothing. my second experience with shoo was two years later and was worse; i entered the store and was ignored. i intended to purchase a pair of boots, but i could not get any of the staff to help me. the third time i went to shoo against my better judgment; my past experiences weren't awesome, but i was with a friend who was visiting milwaukee for the first time and we wanted to do a little boutique-ing in the third ward, so we entered. i have never been treated so poorly in a retail environment. we walked in, were given the up-down look, and snobbishly looked away from. after this, the woman working the counter asked to hold our bags (implying that she thought we were going to steal). i was offended, but politely replied that i could hold my purse perfectly well. while looking around, i picked up a pair of earrings that i had intention of purchasing, and then proceeded to look at the shoes. she approached me again and asked to hold them at the counter, again with an air of implication that i was going to steal them. i'm not sure if something in my demeanor indicates that i'm a thief, but i am absolutely not and i was extremely offended by the experience. we received no entrance or exit greeting, and were only paid attention when it was assumed that we were stealing. i know i'm young, but i expect my business to be valued and not regarded as thievery. i will absolutely never enter this store again, and i will do my best to let everyone intending to shop there understand that they will most likely be accused of shoplifting for picking up a pair of earrings. if you're considering taking your business there, i would urge you to look elsewhere (unless you like being called a thief.) read more

Rude staff. I have been to Shoo twice, and they were snappy and unfriendly both times. I was about to purchase a pair of shoes the first time, but was scolded by an employee for touching a display item. She did not show me where to find the shoe after snapping at me. For the price they sell their shoes at, I expect much more hospitable and professional treatment. Not a long-term business plan. Good luck with that. read more

One of my favorite shops! The selection is unique, the shop is sooo cute and the staff is helpful (never pushy). I love that the styles they carry can't be found just anywhere. It's clear they take pride in offering something special. I have purchased countless shoes from them and it's always been a great experience. read more

Amazing merchandise with the best salespeople. I left with five of the most comfortable shoes I've ever had. Hip and chic third ward store. Check it out! read more

My husband was interested in some Birkenstocks, and when he asked about sizes, the employee snapped at him, "the sizes are on the label!" Didn't offer to help us, or find out what size he needed. Very rude! read more

Staff is rude! I am new to Milwaukee, and was so excited when I discovered this store in the Third Ward. I love buying shoes for my daughters, and was attempting to send my girls a photo of several pair before I purchased them, when a clerk rudely told me photos weren't allowed- before she even said hello, or asked if she could help me. I will never step foot in that store again. If she only knew how much I spend on shoes on my girls....;) read more

Fantastic selection of unique styles and brands for the discerning shopper. My sales associate, Ricky, was exceptional. He asked questions about what I was looking for and recommended different items. Got 3 pair! The displays are creative too. Definitely check them out. High quality. Unique finds. read more

Spent the day shopping on the Third Ward on Saturday. Not a very busy day, due to the St. Pat's Parade. Wanted to like the shop - great shoes! We were in the shop for around 20 minutes and even though we were "actively" looking at a few pair of shoes - no one ever greeted, helped, talked to us. We stayed around since we each wanted to try on a few pair. I already own Fly sandals and Bussola boots and wanted to try on new stock in the store. While we were waiting, a young, trended, millennial walked into the store and picked up 1 pair of shoes. The owner swooped past us to help the other customer and told her, "If you need any help, just let me know". Needless to say, we decided this was not our kind of retail establishment. FYI - we had a great day shopping and spent money elsewhere that day. Highly recommend the following Third Ward Establishments: Inspired, Mod Gen, Home Market, Public Market, West Elm and new favorite: Kit and Ace! read more

Worst service. I was inconveniencing the store clerk. They were rude and I will never be shopping there again.

I love this store. Beautiful shoes, boots and accessories along with helpful staff. I purchased a pair of boots three years ago. Last year the buckle broke on one boot and I couldn't find a replacement. I don't live in Milwaukee but I called the store. The owner contacted the distributor and tracked down the style of the boot based on a picture I sent them. The distributor found the buckle and the store employees mailed it to me; all at no cost. Outstanding, polite, friendly, and helpful service. I stop in the store anytime I am in the Third Ward. If you want something unique, get away from the mall and visit this store. read more

SHOO IS FABULOUS! I have been a customer of Shoo for many years. I love all the unique and beautiful merchandise offered. I have always had outstanding service from the staff and owner Kate whether I walk out with 1 item, an abundance of new treasures or just a smile from the visit. All of the employees know details about the products in the store and are able to guide me to what I want or need. I will also say that the shoes I have I have added to my wardrobe over the years are wonderful beyond belief - high quality and design, uniqueness, style, comfort...I love them. I am treated with the utmost respect and kindness from everyone at Shoo, I look forward to my next visit to the store. read more

Great shoes and customer service. Kate took the time to pick out shoes I would look good in and like based on the few pairs I picked out. The problem is it took forever to figure out how to get into the store. Saw it on the corner but going through the gallery was not at all obvious. read more

I love this locally owned boutique. They have a great selection of really different top quality shoes, including Cydwok, which really isn't carried in very many places, and has non-returnable web order policy and weird fit sometimes. Also they are repairing some shoes I bought recently no questions asked. I am not that secure about how to combine shoes with outfits, and the sales person I have worked with was extremely helpful and encouraging. They have some gorgeous bags also, so its easy to accessorize and outfit there. I brought in a dress I'd bought and they encouraged me to wear shoes I had bought previously, and get a bag instead. I trust this store a lot and have found lots of wardrobe encouragement and help, just what you'd hope for in a locally owned one of a kind store. The shoes are in general not inexpensive, but really beautiful and unique, and seem to be well made. read more
