About

Helping You Find the Right Fit Since 1931

For nearly a century, Nokomis Shoe Shop has been helping people find footwear that fits their lifestyle, their work, and their adventures.

What started as a neighborhood shoe store has grown into a trusted destination for quality footwear, work boots, outdoor gear, apparel, and accessories. While trends have changed over the years, one thing has remained the same: our commitment to helping every customer find the right fit.

Whether you're looking for boots that can handle long days on the job, supportive walking shoes, hiking footwear for your next adventure, or sandals for a Minnesota summer, our knowledgeable team is here to help.

 

More Than Just a Shoe Store

Many first-time visitors are surprised by everything we carry.

You'll find:

  • Work boots and workwear
  • Hiking and outdoor footwear
  • Running and walking shoes
  • Comfort footwear
  • Sandals and casual shoes
  • Clothing and outerwear
  • Socks, insoles, and accessories

Our goal isn't simply to sell you a pair of shoes — it's to help you leave with footwear, clothing & accessories you'll love wearing every day.

Expert Advice You Can Trust

Shopping for shoes shouldn't be overwhelming.

Our experienced staff takes the time to learn about your lifestyle, your work, and where you'll be wearing your footwear before making recommendations. Whether you're on concrete all day, heading to the cabin, or buying your first pair of hiking boots, we'll help you find the best option for your needs.

That's something you won't find from an online checkout page.
