Piediscalzo Means Barefoot in Italian

Shoes are in our blood. Phil grew up in his family's shoe store on the North Shore — third generation. He and Renée opened Orleans Shoe Co. in 2002 and have run it together since.

The business is still small enough that we know our regulars by name and what they wear. That's on purpose. At every one of our locations, our friendly, trained staff take the time to get to know each customer through one-on-one, personalized service.

Old School Service, Modern Style

  • We travel the world to bring the shoes and styles to you.
  • We measure your feet every time you come in — not just the first time.
  • Fashion-forward styles that won't hurt your feet.
  • All different sizes and widths, narrow through extra-wide, to combine fashion, comfort and fit.
  • Shoes for everyone to run, walk, work, dance, hike, jog, and for every step of life.
  • We're a family. We consider each employee family.

All of it is free, no appointment needed, whether or not you buy shoes.
