Morris Plains Shoes

Extremely patient people here, Anthony helped me try boots & shoes from Red Wing and Rockport before I finally settled on a pair of Eccos. The focus is on work boots, you can get a pair of Iron Rangers in various colors, or steel-​toed boots. For such a tiny store they have a great selection which includes dress shoes and loafers by Alan Edmonds, hiking boots from Keen and more.
Definitely not cheap, as far as I know nobody discounts Red Wing. If you’re gonna pay list price anyhow, I’m a fan of getting the right size locally instead of making your feet suffer. My eccos were a few bucks less than list and happily they take credit at Morris Plains shoes.
Hidden in back is a full-​service shoe repair, which I haven’t tried yet. Be sure to pet Gino the dog.

This is a great family owned business in Morris Plains. I’m always so satisfied when I bring my shoes for repair or even when I make new purchases. I highly recommend using this business. In addition they’ve been in Morris Plains for over 30 years. Love these guys!

There is a difference between someone who performs a service, and someone who provides service AND customer service. The mall stores will sell you a shoe (by «sell» I mean that they will maybe measure your foot, get you the box, and ask if you want to buy it), but what I experienced today goes far beyond what I have found in any mall.
I have on occasion mentioned to a salesperson that a shoe is uncomfortable. I have mentioned WHY it was uncomfortable. Until today, I have NEVER had someone offer a solution other than «try another pair?» The gentleman who helped me (wish I had his name) offered to modify the inner sole such that the shoe now feels great!
He was also knowledgeable about shoes, leather, and treatments, but spoke to my understanding level in a way concise and respectful way (as opposed to «knowledge-​vomit»).
His prices reflect the higher-​end shoes than the mall stores (Johnston & Murphy, Ecco) but if I can get more than 2 years out of my new Johnston & Murphy’s I will save far more than from my annual purchase of the $ 120 Bostonians).
