Shoe Stores in Portsmouth, NH

“Great service! They helped my husband find shoes where he can be on his feet all day at work with plantar fasciitis and not be in pain. He says it's like walking on clouds!”

“I’ve lived here a few years, but just made my first visit today. I wish I had stopped in sooner. They have a huge selection of jeans and the associate was able to pick out several pairs for me to try on that I loved. I couldn’t be happier with the pair I ended up taking home.”

“Incredibly kind staff! They went through every corner of the store to help me find earrings for my wedding day. They had wonderful options at various price points.”

“I have shopped at this little shoe store multiple times over the past five years. They carry brands I like at reasonable prices. Every time I have come in I have been treated with kindness and courtesy. The staff have been helpful, and the owner has been an absolute gem. Tonight I had an issue with a pair of boots I bought last winter (minor manufacturers defect) ,the owner made it right without hesitation. He was so kind and personable. I would say I am a customer that seeks value in my higher end (yet modest) purchases. My needs have been more than satisfied with Footnotes!”

“I'm vacationing in the area & stopped in. I felt very welcomed by the lady who helped me. Super personable & knowledgeable. Also it's very cute, I would visit again.”

“I am a regular reseller at Plato's and just want to give these hard working gals at Plato's Portsmouth a good review after stumbling upon these reviews! There is a learning curve to selling at Plato's. They want clothes that appeal to their audience which is very young. I see so many offended sellers in these reviews and I feel like in some cases, there is a simple misunderstanding of the business model here. The store is full of teenaged shoppers. They will buy an oversized sweatshirt from American Eagle over a high end cashmere sweater...because that is what sells there. lululemon items are like gold. There doesn't need to be judgement added to what they take or don't take. Bring higher end items to a higher end consignment shop. A lot of times, when there is overstock in a particular size, they will ask you to bring the items back next time. I always check the store's instagram story before bringing in items. I try my best to bring in items that were in stores within the past 3 years. Many brands have the season and year on the inside tag, not the size tag at the top but the other tag within the body of the garment. The store is constantly needing to adjust hours due to being understaffed. The staff that stays works hard. I find the staff to almost always be lovely, especially the staff that has been there for a long time. As a regular in the store I can say I see on almost every visit a hopeful seller coming in who is completely clueless to the process there and they often get snippy with the staff simply because as consumers they didn't have an understanding of how things work there even when the staff member is politely explaining things for what could be the 20th time that day. I can see where that could be hard to deal with especially for the youngest staff members there. I love selling and shopping for my teens at Plato's Portsmouth!”
