The Shoe Tree

This store is a gem. They carry an admirable selection of stylish and quality shoes. Yesterday Alan helped me find exactly what I was looking for. The hours are generous for anyone pressed for time for a special event as well as when strolling through town, they open at 8.

I brought my wife here to look for shoes to help relieve her plantar fasciitis. I am not sure what that means, but her doctor said the shoe tree could help so off to Pismo we went! the clerk (Alex) greeted us, and began to explain the types of shoes that might help her feet… he fitted her for orthotics to support her arch, which really seemed to relieve the pain. then he was able to find several pairs of shoes to fit the orthotic, AND her wide feet (which is always a chore)!!
he was even able to find her a pair of flip flops that were very comfortable for her!
long story short, my wife was excited to get several pairs of good looking comfort shoes, and I was glad not to spend all day driving from store to store searching! thanks again to Alex– he was super friendly and very helpful!!! we will be back for sure!

My Alien vs. Predator Feet invade Pismo Beach!
Even before the top secret Area 51.31 428… Scan,
these very same feet have run amok throughout
the USA & the World… only to be stopped in
Shell Beach by the UVA rays of the setting sun reflecting
off the beautiful blue ocean & having PTSD
from a evil Seagull taking a flying crap on me
while in prison.
Yes, due to my secret powers & wisdom, they
have to lock me away, at least some of the time
(but yes, they are nice enough to let me «elope»
every night & most weekends, so I can
eat, sleep, shave, shower, & Unilocal).
While my Stinky Feet paraded round & round
…and pounded over & over again on the super–
hard prison concrete, mile after mile… not amazingly,
they began to hurt & so on up to my knee
& so on up to my hip…
So my Stinky Alien Feet then pounded over
to a friendly local Orthopod MD, who
suggest that I go to this Foot Tree to get a not so
cheap Sneaker insert.
For some unknown reason, it did help the
first time & was not so cheap at $ 60 US…
But fast forward to the present, got another
replacement, and it gave me such foot pain
that I could barely limp around
& made me quite insane!
(& Thus the wacky review)
The moral of the story is:
A) Don’t do drugs & go to prison wearing cheapo sneaker inserts.
B) Go to prison & do drugs, so you cannot feel your feet screaming in agony.
C) Shell out some big mulla to see a real Podiatrist & finally buy the real deal
so you can walk around at work & not die from foot agony…
(for God’s Sake, if you can afford Shell Beach, you can surely afford taking
decent care of the only feet you will ever get… you cheapo Stink-​Foot!)
E) Don’t bother reading my reviews, especially the bizarre ones like this one,
which have little to no relevance…& if you do bother & have not
fallen asleep yet… hey, why not hit the Funny Button?
Thank you for your kind attention to this serious foot matter. :)

or are just confused.

P. S.- Yes, this store has a decent selection of footwear, but as noted above, the jury
is out, on how great the scan & the resulting insert is. I think they have a good return policy, but like an insult to all true microcephalic moronic imbeciles, I told them to throw out my old insert, the new box, and the receipt…
& then I complain about it… ha ha ha!!!

Customer service here is horrible, 1 man behind counter, 1 woman sitting in a chair, 2 men standing on walkway between both side of store and 1 woman behind counter on mens side. I walk in and one of the two men sranding tells me mens section is behind him. I went in to find insoles for my work shoes. After 7 minutes of standing there with no one saying anything, i walked out. I guess they are too good for me. I would rather walk home barefoot then go into this store ever again. And i will be letting all my co-​workers know too. I just wish i could minus stars from here. Oh and yes, i was the only customer in the store.

Great variety of brands and styles, but customer service was poor. I wish I had just ordered the shoes I loved online. The gentleman, which he was NOT, could have cared less about helping me. Obviously way more interested in other customers who looked like they had lots of $$$$$$ to spend. So very sad, they had an excellent opportunity to make a terrific impression. They fell WAY short! Don’t waste your time going to this store.

Absolutely delighted with variety and brands in this store. Friendly and so helpful. With a size eleven foot a lady sometimes has only paddle boards to pick from. This store stocks size 11 and can order if there is a special request.
I bought two pair of SAS. Total comfort and style. I’ll shop this store first from now on.

Attempted to purchase Clarks Original Desert Boot this morning. A I entered the store I was told by the salesperson to let him know if I needed help, as he walked away. I told him what I was looking for. He responded that they don’t stock it & it would take at least two weeks to order. I returned home, ordered them from Amazon for delivery tomorrow. I wouldn’t write this now, but it’s the second time I received less than desirable service. The salesperson didn’t really care about my needs.

Took my 90 year old Mom here to buy shoes. Jason was wonderful with her. Super kind & helpful. He took lots of time making sure the fit was correct & she was satisfied.

Do not buy shoes here!!! My mother-​in-​law spent 200 dollars on a pair of shoes that are shredding like cheap paper. Yes it has been 8 months since she bought them but she only wore them 4 times. As a full time nurse I was not able to get there sooner. Alex is an idiot who could not even recommend leather protectant that the shop in Santa Maria did. I was going to buy school shoes for my grand-​kids there but will pay 3 times their price for a shop that stands behind their product!

The customer service is the worst I have encountered. They are quick to take you’re money but if there are any problems quick to make excuses on why they will not help you I suggest you shop in SLO instead.

I was «just looking». There was a great selection of shoes and good customer service. Mr. Gary Simpkins is more knowledgeable about feet and fitting shoes than most orthopedic specialists. I bought five pairs of shoes and continue to like each pair. There is parking next to the store. For people with foot problems or those who value comfortable footware this store is a destination.

Proud to be the first reviewer.
Extremely friendly, local vibe. These guys have a top-​notch selection of shoes and the BEST selection of Vibram Five Fingers I’ve seen anywhere. They even have a computer that will analyze you’re posture to see what shoes may be best for you. Bought my second pair of five fingers from them a few days ago, couldn’t be more pleased. If you’re in Pismo Beach and are looking for some new kicks, give these people a try, you won’t be disappointed.
