Shoe Stores in Venice, FL

“Still one of my favorite show stores to this day! I always stop by when I'm in town. I have a pair of genuine leather flats I got nearly 10 years ago that have still held up over the years. It's one of the few shoe stores that carries QUALITY shoes!”

“After going to top name shoe stores in Sarasota and displeased with the lack of service or assistance while sales teams stood around talking to each other, I went to the three in Venice. Gulf Soles was the worst of all. The female “owner “ never even looked up from her phone much less greeted me, I asked, after standing looking at her fir five minutes, for owner as he had great reviews she said she is and her husband Mike but he worked in Englewood. She was rude and no assistance. The third I went to was B & B Bootery, what a breath of fresh air!!! If you want old time service with a smile and has the knowledge also then skip all the other stores!!! While I couldn’t find the exact need, the sales lady went over and found a pair of shoes she thought I may like, I had seen them previously and loved them but unfortunately did not have my size. But her expertise knew exactly what I was looking for. Kudos to this shop, they know how to run a business!! I will be back!!”

“Excellent cobbler who is very skilled. Brought 2 pairs of designer Italian boots and was so happy with quality of repairing worn tips and heels. Highly recommend for any fine shoes or bags repairs! So grateful to have this masterful craftsman in the area and very nice customer service ! They also carry a nice selection of comfortable, European shoes for sale as well, for a very reasonable prices.”

“Had a wonderful experience in Venice store. Lots of help from Claudia who is very knowledgeable and pleasant. Helped me find 2 pair (one was 1/2 off!) Very pleased with this store. Love downtown Venice! Will visit in Wellen Park too.”

“Thank you to Donna for her patience and understanding to my requirements while visiting her store today. I am 85, on a Walker, with neuropathy so lots of problems when searching for a proper fit and width too is always a problem so She had her hands full. It is hard for me to shop so She brought me several pairs and it's never easy for me to find a pair that helps my problematic feet, but She did and I thank her very much for her patience. I will do my best to wear them and get use to the Arch Fit but she was wonderful. Thank you Donna. If I need another pair I will definitely call and see when She is working. We will drive the extra difference just to have her.”

“Fifis is a great local consignment shop best, in my opinion, for women in the 50-70s age range. If you are younger, look for purses, shoes, or semi or formal attire for work or a modest night out, but there's not much selection if you are under 35. Prices are usually 24 or 30 dollars an item full price, and they are washed, pressed, and in almost new condition. After 30 days, you get the items for half off, or 25% off if they are "designer." They are pretty picky about the name brands and styles that they accept. They have a lot of 3/4 and capri length items that older women prefer and seasonally appropriate attire.”
