Great family run feel! Wife and I came in on a Saturday and they were swamped. Didn't detract from the experience at all though! The staff did a great job of communicating with and checking on the customers. The owner was super nice and helpful! We had tried several competitors in the area and they were all out of the sandals I wanted. Goodman's had exactly what I was looking for in many varieties! They didn't have the particular color my wife was looking for, but instead of just trying to get you to order it online like everyone else, they checked to see if they were in the following week's shipment and we just preordered them. We are both very happy with our purchases! We were in and out in less than 30 minutes. Can't say enough nice things about this place! We will definitely be coming back!

  • Shermie Schafer

Excellent service. Will order for you if they don't stock the color you want, and keep it if it doesn't meet your expectations. Will offer similar styles in other brands, but I've NEVER had any pressure to buy. Wide selection of brands (and some catalogs); sale section worth a look. I've found their shoes last and tho' not cheap, they're worth it! I've bought a number of shoes at Goodman's that I've had forever; one pair for 20 years, and I expect they'll outlast me! I've never needed repair on a shoe. Mrs. Goodman once told me I needed to buy walking shoes 1/2 size LARGER!; great advice.

  • Abigail Hood

You will have an exceptional experience at Goodmans Shoes!! As soon as you walk through the door you are treated as a guest in their store. I've personally known the Goodman family for years and they are genuine people who love what they do. They ensure you find the shoe you're looking for, they take their time helping you with any questions you have, they also make sure you're not forgotten while they're helping other customers. Very different from when you go to other shoe stores because here you get the true family oriented, high quality service! Thank you, Patty & Gary!!!

  • Mang Wey

I recently ordered a pair of shoes during the COVID time. Most ordered goods have backlog during this time. I’ve had a very bad experience with another store that just beat around the bush, evade repeated phone calls and never provide me with reasons as to why I didn’t get my product. Mr. Gary Goodman himself called me 4 times to update me on my shoes. He and his crew worked really hard, calling different places to get me my shoes. This is what I call customer service and will continue being a patron to this store. Thank you, Mr. Goodman.

  • George Patterson

I ordered shoes from them through Amazon. I had to return the shoes. A UPS store stole my return. UPS said that the seller needed to call UPS. The seller told me they could do nothing. $100 gone. Police report filed, but would have been nice if Goodman's would have taken a few minutes to assist me. Had they called UPS, UPS would have contacted the store and the store might have "found" my package.

  • Angele Libby

Just had the best experience. Walked in with a desperate need for slip resistant shoes. Was greeted by Hank, a beautiful friendly dog and Patty, the owner. She gave me lots of options and educated me on how important good shoes And socks are. She even put on, took off and checked the shoes to make sure they were the right fit! I left the store extremely happy with my purchase and I will be back!

  • Omar Acevedo Arús

This is a family-owned business and Patty helped me out finding some pairs of shoes that looked good but would also fit well. If a shoe I liked wasn’t available on my size, she would find several similar shoes for me to pick. She was super nice and I enjoyed talking with her and her husband. I overall had a great experience here! More than anything, I got some nice-looking, comfortable shoes.

  • Tyra Thomas-Johnson

This place is So Super Awesome. All staff members are friendly. They treat you like you are family. I went in unsure if I would EVER be able to walk and move again. I left with happy tears, a new hope, and walking better than I have in at least 3 months. It's hard to believe that all the pain I was in was due to needing new shoes. Stop by and let Greg take care of you.

  • Alex S

Tyler did a great job helping my wife and I find our new pairs of shoes! When the styles we ordered arrived, Tyler even helped by professionally fitting the insoles I selected. And, Goodman's offered a donation service for my worn out old shoes. Even if the shoes are too old, as a backup the charity converts the shoes into playground ground cover.

  • Amanda Noble

Outstanding staff! Very knowledgeable and helpful. You can tell they really want their customers to find the right shoe. They also carry a really great variety of comfort shoes and shoes for a variety of foot issues. I found the prices to be comparable to shopping directly from the shoe companies online. I would definitely suggest and return.

  • Aria Nguyen

I hate buying shoes because I have horrendous chubby troll feet, so shoe shopping always is such a tedious chore to me. Yet, somehow I always leave with a smile and shoes that make me feel like I have suitable tootsies. I love the staff, the owners and of course their lovable mascot Hank. Everyone is so personable and helpful. Great place.

  • Bill Tied

Customer service is beyond compare, this is not a box store, franchise or carnival…this is a good old fashioned shoe store where they measure your feet and bring you many different QUALITY shoes to try..including a pair from the clearance rack I will never go to any other shoe store after the great service Gary the owner had provided

  • Jennifer Burks

We came into town for an event and my husband forgot dress shoes. They opened earlier than other stores, so we went there. The selection was amazing, I was impressed by the quality of shoes and the staff were fantastic, very helpful and informative. Highly recommend and I would definitely return if we were in the area again.

  • Stephen Goldman

Goodman Shoes is the best! The service is top notch, the prices are more than fair, and the the staff is very genuine! Gary and Patty are very friendly owners and truly want the best for their clients! If you do not enjoy seeing big corporate monopolies dominate the market, I recommend you try this place out!

  • Adam H

Had a very wide selection of shoe styles and sizes, and a significant selection of shoes on clearance. It is typically difficult to find shoes that fit my wife's feet, but we found a couple different options here and received more tips from staff on other places/brands to investigate. Would recommend.

  • Mark Galovic

I have previous experience with Goodman's Shoes. First, knowing the families, second on purchasing shoes and other footwear there previously. Great selection and staff! Unfortunately, they didn't have steel toed work shoes, which are required by my new employer. Again, a great place to shop for shoes!

  • Mary Lou Whitling

Goodman's shoes is the most helpful and considerate shoe store I've been to in ages. Tyler Honeycut went out of his way to find the best fit for me. I'm 82 years old, have leg problems and diabetes. I am very satisfied and bought 2 pair. I definitely will shop there in the future. Mary Lou Whitling

  • Janet Anderson

Everyone is always so kind and helpful! I’m an especially difficult fit and they’ve always gone the extra mile to help me find a pair of shoes that are comfortable and don’t cause me pain. Without a doubt Goodman’s Shoes is the best place to buy shop for shoes in the Indianapolis area! …

  • Christine Seymour

Finding shoes that don't cause pain due to my plantar fasciitis, and neuropathy is very difficult. Just got a new pair and anxious to give them a try. The staff was super helpful and friendly. Will definitely shop there again.

  • Ashley Hooley

I've been a customer for over 5 years, exceptional customer service. The staff treat you like family! Great selection and their new location near Goodwill and Total Wines is so nice! Love supporting this family-owned business!

  • Zach Hess

Even though they were closed they let me come in to get a last second gift. With help, I was able to find exactly what I was looking for. The owners were extremely helpful. The people at Goodman's are good people.

  • Tracie Ridgeway

Very neat shoe store where you can get custom fitting. They were in the process of moving so obviously a bit of disarray was to be expected. Sales lady was phenomenal. Lotsa unique brands like Hoka, Naoto, Aetrex.

  • David Gulley

Fantastic selection of shoes and shoe accessories. I only spent $30.00 but they treated me as if I was spending a thousand! Excellent, friendly service that you rarely receive anymore...but you do at Goodman's!

  • Louisa

Good, comfortable shoe selection. Prices are good for the comfort and quality you get. My last pair of every day office shoes have lasted 2 years and they're not in too bad of shape at this point.

  • Joanna Wojtowicz Southwood

Most excellent service! Great selection of comfortable shoes and very attentive sales associates. Always my "to go" place when it comes to footwear. Also, highly recommended by my podiatrist.

  • Amy Wallarab

I love Goodman's Shoes. The sales staff are knowledgeable, helpful, but never pushy. They carry a wide variety of the best quality shoes, and I always find exactly what I'm looking for.

  • Jessie Browne-Michaels

High quality shoes I can't afford. Nothing at lower price points. But they're independently owned. I wish I had fallen in love with a pair of shoes enough to dole out and support them.

  • Jason Hay

I called ahead and the glad set back a pair of shoes for me to pick up a few days later. Friendly service and easy parking. It’s a nice throwback to shoe stores from an earlier era.
