Helpful Search Tips

We want to make your shopping experience as user-friendly as possible, so we’ve provided many different ways for you to find your favorite shoes or to shop around.

When searching on our website, you can use the search bar to search by style number and/or a short description, or you can browse our brand and category pages. Because we offer more than 600 styles, it may help to narrow your search by typing both a style number and a key word. For example, try entering ‘730 boot” or ‘730 men’ instead of just “730.” Otherwise, all style numbers that contain ‘730’ may pop up. You can also search by color and, for many of our brands, styles have names as well as numbers. Searching for “Elizabeth” or “Seth” will also narrow your results.

Know we are constantly updating our search capabilities to make it easy for you to find what you are looking for. 

Order

Below are the most common questions we have been asked about ordering online with us. If you have not ordered from us before, please read our About Fitting section before placing your order.

What does 'FIT ME' mean?

If you do not know what size to ask for, select the FIT ME option in the drop down menu when ordering a product and enter your best guess as to your shoe size and width. To help us determine your size, fill out the information in the New Measurements section in Step 5 of the checkout process. For more detailed information on ordering online, please click on About Fitting.

Our fitters will evaluate the information provided and, using their knowledge of our shoes, will send a size and width for you to try. If you are not satisfied with the fit, it's easy to exchange your shoes, giving us your comments. (Do take care in trying on your shoes, remembering that shoes must be in original "as new" condition and in their original packaging to be returnable.) Once we've established your proper size in our shoes, reorders are seldom a problem.

What sort of payments do you accept?

We accept Visa, MasterCard, American Express and Discover both online and by phone. For mail orders we accept these credit cards along with money orders and personal checks. We are not currently able to accept PayPal, Apple Pay or Samsung Pay. 

Please Note: Your order is NOT charged at the time of the checkout submission process. Your credit card is charged only after your order has been fully reviewed by our fitters and is ready for shipment. Any backordered items will not be charged until the shoes are available. 


Will there be any sales tax on my order?

We add appropriate sales tax to all orders shipped to jurisdictions where we are required by law to collect it. (Massachusetts residents are taxed on shoes costing more than $175 and on certain specialty items.)

Do you accept back orders?

We will not cancel an order without contacting you. We accept back orders and will keep you updated with notifications of changes to your order. If a particular shoe is out of stock and we have your email address, we will send you an email notification of its estimated arrival date from the manufacturer. If you receive a backorder email notification, please let us know if you wish to wait for the order or prefer to choose another item or cancel the order entirely. If delivery of your order is time sensitive, please let us know when you place the order. Please note that we are closed on Sundays and most major holidays.

What do I do?

The fastest way to correct any online order is to call our Customer Service department as soon as possible during our regular business hours. (After hours, you may leave us a voice mail at 1-888-599-WIDE or fax us regarding the issue 781-749-3576). Please provide your order confirmation number along with your name and zip code. You may also submit a note to your order in your online account; we will see your message if your order has not already been reviewed and processed. 

I have my shoes, how should I try them on?

Shoes should be tried on indoors on a clean carpet or rug. Do not bend the shoes as that will not improve fit and can crease the leather. Use care, as we cannot accept return of shoes that show wear or that have been damaged while trying them on. We can only accept returns and exchanges for UNWORN shoes up to 30 days.
