I recently had the pleasure of visiting Square Deal Shoe Store , and I must say , it was a fantastic experience from start to finish. Placing conveniently in the heart of the local shopping district, this store stands out not only for its wide selection of footwear but also to its commitment to costumer satisfaction.

Great little family owned shoe store, took my mom which has abnormal feet (size 10 W, not just any Wide will do 😔) & they were so attentive, helpful & friendly. ✅ Example: they asked what kind of shoe is she looking for & what size, then they kept bringing shoes out to her, for her to try on! Then when she found one, it was actually a bit tight but they actually made it wider (just for her! 😉) because it's leather & can be widen out. I didn't even know they could do that! At the end, she did ended up buying them, she has been looking for shoes for more than 6 years, I'm so glad that the 1st time coming here. We found what were looking for & it only took the right place to go to; find that the shoe fits.

Brought my mother in law in for shoes today and had a great experience. She has “challenging “ foot issues - wide , no arch, hammer toes etc. Because Nick was beyond kind and professional in helping her to find the right fit for her extremely large orthotics and adding the right pads to keep any pressure off the bad toe.
In a world where service is no longer the norm- Square Deal has great modern shoes and classic service.
Thank you Jack & Nick

Stepping Into square deal shoe store is like stepping back in time! I believe they’ve been in business over 100 years and it is the original family that still run it.

When you walk in they have a sign that says “don’t tell us what size shoe you wear, we will measure your feet”.

I have been buying size 10 for years and after he measured my feet he advised I was a 9.5 wide. I was buying size 10 to make up for that width of my foot at the big box stores because they don’t offer many choices of widths.

The store is extremely clean, well organized and offer a good variety of shoes and boots. They also have many pieces of equipment from bygone years that their great grandfather had at his store including a foot x-ray which was used to measure your foot.

I purchased the rubber shoe protectors to keep in my car for those Chicago rainy and snowy days. Yes a bit dorky but they protect my shoes well.

My goal is always to support the mom and pop business's as much as possible before they all disappear, you should too!

I bought my two elderly parents shoes today It was the best experience ever. I would recommend anyone with elderly parents to shop here. The two salesmen were very knowledgeable and friendly. They had so much patience with my parents. We walked out with a great pair of perfectly fitted shoes for each. It was a great experience to shop here
