?Reflex? on the feet with reflections about Salamander

by PamelaAntol

Reflexology is a theory that there are ?reflex? areas on the feet that correspond to specific organs, glands, or other parts of the body. It promotes relaxation, improves circulation, reduces pain, and encourages overall healing. So, if your feet are so important you need to make sure your feet are comfortable. The best way to do that is to shop at Salamander Shoes. The staff is knowledgeable with regards to sizing and comfort to provide just the right shoe for you. The shoes I have purchased are high quality and look good wear after wear. When you first see the price you may think they are expensive, but if you calculate the price per day you wear them, you?ll find they the price is cheaper than any where else. When you care enough to give your feet the best -- shop Salamander?s.

cute and comfortable shoes-a ladie's best friend

by kkimble101

Needed a pair of shoes for a trip to Spain that were cute, comfortable for walking, but also went w/business clothes and jeans. I explained this to the staff who brought out every pair of black shoes w/the type of heel I was looking for that they had in my size. This kind of service was impressive and fun b/c they picked shoes that I never would have picked out on my own but was presently surprised with how they looked on. I settled on a pair of crushed black patten Mary Jane's. I already had an inexpensive, not so comfortable pair of black Mary Jane's but felt good going with these b/c the fit was great, I could actually run in them, and they were unbelievably comfortable and still cute enought to compete w/the beautiful shoes on my Spanish counterparts! And I am confident that they will last b/c this is the 3rd pair of shoes I've bought from Salamander.

• Pros: Great service, great neighborhood, great comfort
• Cons: Sales shelf is a little overwhelming, but that means lots of sales

LOVE these shoes!

by SueBrady

Great selection of high quality great looking shoes. These shoes last! I've had several pair for many years and they still look great. The store staff is very knowledgeable about shoes, sizing and special requirements for foot issues - many of their shoes can accommodate special insoles or orthotics if you need that. These shoes are worth the money. Staff was very helpful and was able to acquire the size I needed in the color I wanted. Will definitely be shopping here again.

• Pros: high quality shoes and excellent service
• Cons: parking but you can shop online

Comfortable, stylish European shoes emphasize wide sizes for men and women.

by Fred Schlatter

The Scene
A recent interior renovation gave this formerly dowdy store a much-needed update, with fancy light fixtures and light wood shelving. Although it's a chain across Europe, Salamander is only in three U.S. cities--Chicago, New York and Los Angeles. Salespeople don't work on commission, so the atmosphere is relaxed and friendly.

The Goods
About 85 percent of the shoes are made in Germany, with others from Austria, Spain, Portugal and Italy--don't be shy about asking for translation of sizes and description tags. Widths typically start at B and go up to EEE, giving wide-footed customers a good fit from European designers including Romika, Rieker, Portania, Peter Kiser and Salamander's own line. Like everyone's favorite Birkenstocks (sold here), form often follows function in German-made shoes. A good selection of kids' shoes is just as focused on comfort (mini-Birks are too cute).
