Shoe Forest & More

Del runs a great store. She loves our dogs and gives them water whenever we stop by. She has great shoes for men and women. I have bought Naot sandals from her and many pairs of Bridgedale socks. My wife has many pairs of her Naot shoes for work. She sells Oofos, the most comfortable flip-​flops I’ve ever worn. She stocks many unusual gifts, t-​shirts, jewelry, and Old Guy merchandise. Please go visit her. You will be pleasantly surprised.

The only reason it’s not five stars is because of the limited selection, pretty much just NAOT and Oofos and sine high end men’s shoes. The owner was down to earth and very sweet. I was able to find a shoe that my orthotics fit into and that were comfortable, which is no small feat. It’s always hard to swallow having to spend $ 175 on a pair if shoes, but knowing that it is helping a small business stay afloat takes the sting away a bit. The store will ship anywhere free of charge, which is a nice service.

This place is great! The owner is extremely knowledgable and friendly. My mom has a difficult size to fit and needs to find shoes that she can wear orthotics with. We have looked at every shoe store in the area and even in Spokane while we were there visiting with no luck. Walked in here on a whim a few weeks ago and she tried a few different styles. The owner ordered in 3 different pairs of shoes for her to try with no obligation. Big selection of Naot shoes and my mom found 2 different shoes she likes and a pair of Oofos flip flops. The Oofos are so comfortable I got a pair too! We will definitely be back!

If you are looking for Naots this is THE store! No other store in Western WA has a bigger selection of Naot shoes! I know because I have driven most of the I5 corridor looking, only to find that the Shoe Forrest, which is only 15 minutes from where I live, has the best selection! Dell, the owner is very helpful as well.

Simply the best pair of shoes I have ever bought. Thank you.

I absolutely adore this shoe store! I was recently complaining to my husband about a pain in my heel which I thought might be from wearing mainly flip flop sandals for the past couple of months. So I decided I wanted to invest in a nice (translation: expensive) pair of summer sandals. We decided to walk to the local shoe store which we’ve driven by several times since moving to Auburn less than a year ago. We’re trying to do our part to keep the local businesses alive. So we walk down there, not knowing what to expect. We walk in and don’t see much of what we’re looking for… I see what look to be older ladies sandals. Then the mother and daughter combo that run the shop ask what we’re looking for. I tell them I’m looking for a sturdy, summer sandal with good arch support. They show me these sandals that are on clearance which I immediately love. They’re a nice brand, Choco, which I’ve bought a pair for my pregnant sister before. So I decide to buy those and a pair of Cobian flip flops that have arch support and also a pair of good flip flops for my husband (they have men’s shoes too). I chat with the ladies for awhile, come to find out I grew up in the neighborhood where the mother lives now. They were VERY pleasant. I ended up going back a couple days later to buy the same sandals for my sister. I will definitely be back when I have a need for new shoes, maybe this winter…
