Shoe Store on Magazine Street — Orleans Shoe Co.

Our Uptown store, in the heart of the Magazine Street shopping district. Fitted in person. Six-time Gambit Best Shoe Store. Walk in — no appointment.

The Magazine Street store is our Uptown home, right in the middle of the shopping stretch locals browse on a Saturday afternoon. It's a full comfort and running shoe store — running, walking, work, recovery, and dress, in widths from medium to extra-wide — fitted in person by a Certified Arch Support Specialist who measures your feet before handing you a single shoe. Easy for anyone in the Garden District, Uptown, the Irish Channel, or strolling Magazine for the day.

The Uptown way to buy shoes

Magazine Street is made for walking in and out of shops, and this is the one where you leave with shoes that actually fit. You can order a pair online in thirty seconds — here's what you get by walking in instead:

• We measure both feet, every visit. One foot is almost always bigger. We fit to the larger one.
• Width matters more than length. Most foot pain comes from the wrong width, not the wrong size. We stock medium, wide, and extra-wide — up to 4E in select New Balance.
• Arch support fit to you. High arch and flat foot need different shoes inside the same brand. We fit the right insole, not a guess.
• Bring it back if it's wrong. No restocking fees. Free 30-day returns on regular-priced items — try it, come back if it doesn't work.
• We know the medical side. Plantar fasciitis, bunions, neuromas, post-surgical recovery. Tell us what hurts and we'll narrow the wall to three pairs in ten minutes.
