My wife and I always look for the best quality shoes. I will admit that the prices are at the upper end of the spetrum, but you definitely get what you pay for. At the Regent location, the footwear specialist spent a fair bit of time making sure that the Merrell boots and the Cambrian walking shoes that she acquired were a perfect fit. He provided great advice and helped her get the right footwear. Great experience overall.

I have been using this store for my foot wear for the last 14 years or so. When I get my new Red wings they have me on file and simply go the back and get me new ones that always fit like an old friend feels. Lately I have ordered on line for my last 2 pairs of quality Cambrian Ultra walking shoes, (previously fitted in the store so I know the size) and they arrived at my house through Canada Post in 2 days. Great Job ! and Thank You !

The one and only time I depended on a size recommendation was at Canadian Footwear on Regent. It was the one and only time that I bought a pair of shoes that did not fit properly.

Unbelievably disappointed by the lack of honesty by the employee who appeared to “help” me locate a pair of winter boots. The staff member had me re read the make and style along with the product number back to him over the phone and assured me that they had the exact size that we were looking for and put the boots on hold as it was within 45 minutes of closing and that we live outside the city and would not be able to arrive prior to store closing. So we show up the next morning and the pair put aside was nothing like the one we were looking for. Unbelievably disappointed and frustrated.

Compared to the St. Vital location, the staff at this store were extremely helpful and very friendly. The two stores were like night and day! Came in to return a shoe with a defect. They had a replacement ready at the desk for me.

Great products, great service, and a great relaxing atmosphere! I highly recommend being fitted for new footwear by their trained fit specialists, but their price points are higher than most retail stores. I consider the comfort, ease of mind, and sense of stability that comes along with wearing high quality, properly fitted footwear to be worth the extra cost. Terry, my sales associate, told me that doctors like wearing shoes like the stunning and gorgeous ruby red-lined, dark grey exterior Cambrian shoes that I purchased for everyday wear, and I consider this to be a cool, interesting value-add.The interior of the Regent location is also decorated with a long, sepia-toned ribbon banner of the skyscape of old Winnipeg (downtown and others), and this made me remember past generations of Winnipeggers (my grandmother, for example) and I felt a strong sense of nostalgia, connection to the city, gratitude, and appreciation of the people and places that make up our history, which we are currently a part of!

I have taken my daughter there a few times to get her shoes and boots. She had quite wide and small feet. Nowhere else has the proper size nor good service to help her find a comfortable, safe shoe for her.Last year we tried to save money and try Walmart. She wound up buying a men's boot in a size 10, as no women's shoes and boots have the width she needs. When those men's boots just didn't cut it anymore, she went to The Shoe Company. Again no attentive fitting service. She went with a size 9 men's boot.Now that she has mobility issues she really needs good, proper fitting boots for this winter. So she went to Canadian Footwear. Staff properly sized her feet and she was given an actual women's boot with the width and in a size 7 1/2.The staff are not afraid to serve their customers, get up close to feet and they make sure the shoes fit and you are comfortable and happy before you leave. They are not just about make a sale for the sake of commission. They really do care, and that is rare these days.They are also very accommodating and compassionate to those with disabilities, including intellectual and developmental disabilities. We really do appreciate the staff for being kind and understanding while we sorted out a miscommunication. Everything worked out in the end. Thank you very much, again.No women nor girl should have to compensate width with a larger size, nor should we have to deform our feet to "break in" shoes.Yes, the shoes are costly, but it's a small price to pay to save yourself from severe foot problems later.As for myself, I needed comfortable runners for a job where I'm on my feet all day and need a good arch support and cushioning. Sketchers were really nice for a wile, even though my toe was cramped. Then they just stopped being cushy and my toe was spilling over the sole. Went to Canadian Footwear, as we had been there before and I couldn't find shoes that would be suitable for standing and walking, and those added in-soles cramped my feet even more. Got a pair of New Balance runners. I thought I had narrow feet. Turns out they're wide. It really does make a big difference.We will definitely be repeat customers.

Excellent service as soon as we walked in. They listened to what my entire family needed and measured our feet. The boots we wanted were in stock and we tried on the boots for fit. Our family’s footwear needs were met. Highly recommend you see them for all your footwear needs.

Very attentive staff, good selection. If you have not bought shoes from an actual shoe store that talks to you about your needs and measures you foot, do yourself a favour and get visit this store

I purchased a pair of Birkenstock sandals in January of 2023. After very limited use the sandal strap failed a month ago. Store would not repair or replace sandal. If purchased from Birkenstock they offer one year warranty on sandals.
