Mieras Family Shoes, Grand Rapids, MI

Grand Rapids' Mieras Family Shoes has been operating continuously since 1922, which is a feat for most any retail outlet, especially these days.

Nojo Kicks, Detroit, MI

Sneakerheads, pay attention, because Detroit's Nojo Kicks will focus heavily on some really difficult to find shoes. Did you know that shoes actually have some rare variants? They're called “deadstock” shoes, and they're almost like “out-of-print” for DVDs or books. Whether you're in the market for Jordans, Adidas, or straight Nike, you'll have a great chance of finding these rare shoes at Nojo Kicks. On the off chance you want something they don't have, just let them know—they make a case to find just the shoe you're looking for.

Rice's Shoes, Battle Creek, MI

A major hometown shoe operation in Battle Creek, Rice's Shoes offers a wide array of shoes and boots in a classic hometown setting. Customers consider Rice's Shoes as a place well-staffed with knowledgeable, friendly people. It's clear this local shoe storefront is ready to take on the biggest of online competitors.

Okun Brothers Shoes, Kalamazoo, MI

Okun Brothers in Kalamazoo has a long history. For those times when the right shoe just can't be had, Okun Brothers always seems to have it. Open since 1921 in downtown Kalamazoo, Okun Brothers offers, as its storefront sign notes, “comfort and quality at the right price.” That's a combination that's hard to pass up, so if you're looking for shoes or work boots in Kalamazoo, Okun Brothers fits the bill.

Willer's Shoes, Sturgis, MI

Willer's Shoes in Sturgis has been a part of the rapidly-changing Sturgis downtown landscape for years now, and there's a good reason: they've got great shoes and they know what the community's looking for. Those eager for a good place to find a solid shoe will find great luck at Willer’s Shoes. 

Luedder's Shoes & Repair, Coldwater, MI

Out in Coldwater, Luedder's Shoes & Repair carries a special note of approval with it right in the name: repair. Finding a place that actually repairs shoes any more is an extremely difficult prospect. Couple the sheer unique nature of finding a shoe repair shop on with the fact that the place just celebrated its 140th anniversary in Coldwater—open since 1878—and that gives Luedder's the combination of versatility and longevity that makes it a prime fit for this list.

Georges Boot Barn, Montgomery, MI

Head on out to Montgomery for a shoe experience like few others. Well, not a shoe experience exactly—Georges Boot Barn, as the name suggests, does boots. And boots all over: hiking, duty, military, Western, logger, snake, and even Wellingtons are all on hand here. With 40 years of continuous operation to its credit, it's clear Georges Boot Barn knows its boots, and when you buy from Georges, you'll clearly know a thing or two about good boot shopping.
