Shoe Store on Metairie Road — Orleans Shoe Co.

Our Old Metairie store, right on the Metairie Road strip. Dress, comfort, and hard-to-fit. Walk in — no appointment.

Worth the drive, even from across the lake

This is the store people come to when nothing fits — the deepest dress and hard-to-fit selection we have. Straight off the Causeway, so a good chunk of the folks in here drove over from Mandeville, Covington, and Slidell. Fittings are free and take about ten minutes.

• We measure arch length, not just heel to toe. Two feet the same size can need different shoes, and that's usually why.
• Width matters more than length. Real narrow widths, which almost nobody stocks anymore, all the way up to triple wide in SAS.
• We know the medical side. Plantar fasciitis, bunions, neuromas, post-surgical. Bring us the problem and we'll work backward from it.
• Bring it back if it's wrong. Free 30-day returns on regular-priced items.
