Flagstone, brick, uneven sidewalk, and miles of it — plus heat that swells your feet by afternoon. If your shoes are wrong, you'll know it by lunch. A fitting takes about ten minutes and it's free.
- We measure both feet, every visit. One is almost always bigger, and we measure arch length — where your foot actually bends.
- Width matters more than length. Narrow through 2E in most brands, 4E in select New Balance.
- We know the medical side. Plantar fasciitis, bunions, neuromas, post-surgical. Tell us what hurts and we'll narrow it down to three pairs.
- Bring it back if it's wrong. Free 30-day returns on regular-priced items, even after you've flown home.

Who we fit in the Quarter
We're the closest Orleans Shoe Co. to Tulane Medical Center, UMC, and the CBD hospitals, so we fit a lot of nurses and healthcare workers. We also fit the people who make the Quarter run — restaurant and hotel staff, tour guides, musicians — and visitors who came to walk the city and want to keep walking.
10% off for hospital workers, military, and restaurant workers — every day, in store. Show your badge, scrubs, or ID at checkout.
