For 67 years, Mar-Lou Shoes has been providing the Cleveland community with more than just footwear; we consistently deliver comfort, confidence, and a touch of magic with each perfect fit. Since 1958, our locally owned shop has served as more than just a store; it has become the go-to for individuals seeking stylish, high-quality shoes that are as comfortable as they are visually appealing.

Finding the right shoe can be a struggle. We’ve all been there: squeezing into a size that isn’t quite right, trying to convince ourselves that “they’ll stretch out.” But at Mar-Lou Shoes, we don’t believe in compromise when it comes to your feet. That’s why we specialize in hard-to-find sizes and widths, making sure that whether your feet are extra wide, narrow, or in need of extra support, you’ll walk out with your perfect pair of shoes.

What’s our secret to nearly 70 years of success? Simple: we put people first. Our team isn’t just here to sell shoes- we're here to listen, to understand, and to make sure you leave with a spring in your step. Unlike big-box stores where you’re left to fend for yourself in endless aisles, we take the time to personally fit you with the perfect pair. Our loyal customers know that when they step into Mar-Lou Shoes, they’re stepping into a place where service is personal and quality is non-negotiable. 

Of course, we only stock the best. From HOKA to Brooks, SAS, and Clarks, our collection is curated to bring you the finest in comfort, durability, and style. Whether you’re an athlete, a professional, or someone who just wants a great-looking shoe that feels amazing, we’ve got something for you.

We’re more than just a shoe store. We're a Cleveland institution. Through generations, we’ve been here, helping people find their perfect fit, one pair at a time. So, if you’re tired of settling for shoes that just “kind of” work, come visit us at Mar-Lou Shoes. Let’s find you the perfect fit, together.
