Staff was amazing! I'm new to running long distance and she gave me so many helpful tips along with guiding me to finding the perfect shoes and inserts. I was wearing a full shoe size too small and with their help I was able to figure out why my shins and knees were hurting while I was running. After they recorded me running, they saw that my achilles tendons were curved and should be straight. Now I know I need shoes with stability. Thank you, A Pied!

My go to place in the neighborhood when I need shoes for a very specific occasion. The family who runs this place is amazing! They give the best suggestions on shoes and are excellent on meeting your specific needs.
I've bought 3 pairs from these guys so far for important trips/occasions and I haven't been disappointed so far.
The prices are above what I'm used to paying for, but you can tell that you're paying for quality. Their shoes are fantastic investments.

I just moved to Roscoe Village and strolled in one day with my daughter to browse the selection. I will never go back. I've worked in sales before and I now work with pediatric patients. My philosophy is that my patients or clients come first. The man there was already with a customer when I walked in. But a few minutes in, I still did not receive a greeting or even a glance my way. I continued to browse thinking he'll eventually make his way over to make me feel welcome and still NOTHING. This is rude and unacceptable. If I were the owner I wouldn't tolerate this because

I love love LOVE my new boots that I bought here, and shopping for them was such a delight! My poor, wide, flat feet don't usually fit into anything pretty and stylish, but that doesn't stop me from hoping when I go shoe shopping, and boy was I hoping to find something that would actually fit me when I saw the lovely collection of shoes and boots here! The owner herself brought me several pair to try on, and did a great job of assessing what I was looking for vs. what would fit me. She and her husband considered their stock and brought me the perfect pair of boots to try. So perfect

I should have gone to Nordstrom but I thought I should try local shop. Big mistake.
I bought a pair of suede Toms shoes for $86 two weeks ago. I wore them once and realised the material is so incredibly hard that it really REALLY hurt my feet.
So I went to the store today asking if I could return those. The girl at the counter was having her lunch and did not greet me or anything, I found this quite rude considering there was nobody else in the store. She told me the store does not accept returns. WHAT? I was never told this when I bought the shoes. The website doesn't say it either. Ridiculous

I've been a customer for years but only recently joined their mailing list (which I highly recommend). They have great sales/specials especially when they change stock at the end of the season...so I always take advantage and stock up.
For a relatively small store they carry a great selection of comfortable and stylish shoes. The shoes are not inexpensive but they are very high quality which means they will last you for years if you take good care of them. And as mentioned - if you watch for sales - you can get some great deals like 30-40% off or buy 2 get 1 free.
The staff is also extremely

I really like this place. The first time I walked in, I was surprised about how few shoes there were. But once I started shopping I realized that in this case, less is more. With less shoes, I noticed the high style and quality of every pair and there ended up being plenty of choices.
The employee spent a lot of time with me to help me find the perfect pair of boots. They could not be more cute and comfortable, so comfortable that I did not want to take them off on the first day. When do you ever find shoes/boots that feel so good the first day you wear them? I got lucky that these boots are

Shoes anyone? I can't seem to break the habit of walking away with only one pair. Someone help!
Great selection and Trudy is very helpful with asking all the right questions.
In fact, my last visit I really adored this pair of shoes and they were out as they sold quickly. Trudy called her local/national contacts to find me my size with no luck. A week later Trudy called me and sharing the solution to the shoes I walked away thinking I would never wear them with my jeans, I once visioned. The designer/creater of J.C. is making a good set of 10 pairs for all us chics who kept asking for

We live in an amazing city and if you want to look modern, cute and flirty and be able to explore Chicago on foot (without looking foolishly in pain) - check this store out. I just bought a pair of super comfy, sporty, yet feminine looking flats that actually have substantial, built-in insoles - at a great price (cheaper than I could find them online).
The shoes are unique ... to describe the styles, I'd say, feminine, a great variety of colors and textures from deep red patent leather to two toned muted suede - they're a little bit hipster, some bohemian-ish (but streamlined) styles

Easily one of my favorite shops in Chicago. Their selection of stylish shoes that don't kill your feet is the best I've found...and we're not talking stylish/comfortable as in what your 65-year-old mother-in-law would wear. This is stylish/comfortable along the lines of people stopping me on the street to compliment me and then staring in disbelief when I tell them I've been wearing them since 5am, have walked the respective lengths of both Chicago O'Hare AND Boston Logan, and am on my way to a cocktail party where I'll be standing in them for another three hours

This place was disappointing... horrid service on a Sunday afternoon, for shame. Shoe brands that you can purchase at Nordstrom's cheaper, and certainly lacking selection. I like the name, the location, and the store's decor, but it will take more than that to keep 'afoot' of the rest of the much cooler (Traipse on Lincoln is my fave) shoe boutiques in Chicago. Hopefully they will get a heel in it before too long.

Great shoe selection-- tons of cute but comfortable shoes, friendly staff, and amazing customer service.
I recently bought a pair of shoes from A Pied, and due to a fluke in the manufacturing, they fell apart the second time I wore them. Brokenhearted, I called A Pied, and while they no longer had that shoe in my size, the owner called up her distributor and got another pair for me within a few days!!! Thanks A Pied. I'll definitely be back.

So much better than Curves!! Not that I don't like working out, but shoe shopping is so much more fun. You burn calories trying on heels, right?
The owner of this new Roscoe Village shop has made an effort to stock comfortable and fashionable footwear. Her efforts really show. The staff is friendly. The prices really vary depending on the brand, so it's worth a look. Right now, she's stocking Born, Merrell, All Black, Jeffrey Campbell, and others. They also have some La Canadiennes, which will be a must have come boot season. Can anyone say washable suede????
Not only does
