At Footwise, comfort and style go hand in hand—just like our friendly, helpful service. Since 1983, we’ve been serving the Pacific Northwest with a wide selection of shoes for every step of life. Whether you’re heading to work, hitting the trail, or just out and about, we have something your feet will love.

Happily local, serving our local communities

Our humble beginnings began in Corvallis, OR in 1983. Since then, we've grown to Portland and Hood River. 40 years later, we remain committed to providing our locals with premium footwear and a comfortable shopping experience.

Repair and Wear!

Shoes wear out. But don't throw them away! You would be surprised at how we can keep so many styles from going to waste and instead give them a second life. Try our shoe repair services out for yourself!
