About Footwear etc. San Carlos

Like the TV show Cheers, San Carlos is a place where everyone knows your name. ‘The City of Good Living’ earns its title with wonderfully kind citizens, rolling hills of dense forest and a great small-town feel. San Carlos’s main downtown strip on Laurel Street is mostly composed of independently-run restaurants and shops, as well as salons, pet stores, health food stores, banks, and coffee shops. Amongst the local businesses is our Footwear Etc. store, rubbing elbows with excellent eateries like Town Restaurant. 

Roughly the halfway point between San Francisco and San Jose, there are plenty of fun activities to keep you in San Carlos. If you’re downtown on a Thursday evening in the summer, enjoy the farmer’s market held on our street, or go to the ‘Hometown Days’ carnival in May and the ‘Art and Wine Faire’ in October.

Stop by our location and make your feet as happy as the locals! Our San Carlos location carries a wide selection of shoes for the whole family, and is known for having extended sizes of 10+ for our valued customers. We’ve even held shoe parties like: "You're Not Just A 10...You're A 10+!”. Come by today and check out a few of the top name brands we carry like Birkenstock , Dansko, Naot, Taos, Earth Shoes, Clarks, Hoka One One, and New Balance.

Footwear etc. San Carlos Customer Reviews

“My podiatrist advised me to go to Footwear etc. as my feet were giving me a lot of pain and I had been wearing the wrong types of shoes. John, at Footwear etc. was by far the most helpful person I have ever encountered in a store of any kind! He literally worked with me for almost two hours, bringing out shoes he thought I might like, as well as what I asked to try on. He was extremely knowledgeable about foot issues! I got a real education as to which types of shoes offer the most support, that "soft" is not always better for people with my foot problems, etc. I ended up buying a fantastic pair of boots and a pair of flats with incredible support. I have been wearing the flats all day and it feels like a massage! No more pain! John was so patient, and absolutely tireless, as well as extremely nice I would highly recommend this store to anyone and especially to anyone with foot pain and issues. Five stars!” -Clare H.

“The easiest shoe purchase I've ever made. I have specific requirements for work shoes and some problems with my feet. After trying a pair of shoes and explaining the discomfort issue the sales associate recommended another pair that alleviated the pain and were less expensive than the first. I was in and out in less than 15 minutes and that was during holiday madness. Now that's great service!” -Brad B.

“The other day I found a pair of shoes online that looked perfect for summer wear. Comfortable, stylish. I've had mixed results with online shopping. I Googled the make and model of the shoe in question. Low and behold, Footwear etc. came up quickly with a much lower price than their online competitors! I called my local store, and the manager located the shoes and put them on hold for me. The next day, I went in and tried on said shoes... which turned out to be incredibly comfortable. The same manager was on duty, and he couldn't have been more helpful or pleasant. It felt great to support a local vendor - especially now. Footwear etc. has a lot of shoes available from popular brands, and there is nothing better than being able to try on shoes first. OK, even better when you know you're getting a great price.” -Lucy C.

“Found the best pair of fashionable walking boots on sale. Very friendly staff, quality brands and good prices.” -Wendy R.

“This is a very good shoe store and I wish more people would buy their shoes here. They have a great selection carrying really good brands like Clarks. Good sale prices and nice people.” -Cornelia K.
