Bodell's Shoes is a great little old school men's and women's quality shoe store in Long Beach, widely considered the best shoe store for good shoes and amazing service. The business provides old fashion customer service, informed advice, and quality product, understanding the under-served consumer. Their greatest provable strength is the principles of customer service: measuring feet, listening to the customer, and providing pertinent information with individual attention. The salesmen know who is not being served and what they can provide, immediately sizing feet and knowing how to fit a shoe to a foot shape better than the customer would. They offer comfortable shoes for all varieties of people and feet, whether someone works in a restaurant or a hospital or has a problem foot. They carry quality comfort shoes, with many options from brands like Allen Edmonds, Birkenstock, Taos, and Florsheim. Customers give an idea of what kind of shoe needed—be it casual, dressy boots, tennis shoes, or sandals—and the staff finds perfect selections, narrowing down choices based on input. The experience of having someone sit with you, help put the shoes on, and make sure they fit properly is a treat. Nothing compares to trying on a pair and walking around to really know how they fit and feel. The store also carries quality accessories like Darn Tough socks and Saphir shoe cremes and polishes. Shoes are thoughtfully wrapped, making it feel like old times. The service is highly recommended, with customers feeling well attended and planning to return.

Great service. They immediately size your feet up and know how to fit a shoe to your foot shape better than you would. You give them an idea of what kind of shoe and they will find you perfect selections. Many options there but they narrow it down if you give them input on what you are looking for. Highly recommended.
