At The Modern Shoes, we believe every step should combine effortless style with uncompromising comfort. Founded in Portland, we’ve grown from a local shoe retailer to a global destination for footwear that moves with your life.

Our Story

What began as a small showroom on Walnut Hill Drive has blossomed into an international online destination for shoe lovers. While our roots remain firmly planted in Portland’s vibrant fashion scene, our reach now extends worldwide—bringing thoughtfully designed footwear to style-conscious individuals across the globe.

Why We Exist

We noticed a gap in the market—footwear that looked runway-ready but felt like your favorite pair of slippers. The Modern Shoes was born to bridge that divide, offering:

  • Performance meets style: Sneakers that transition seamlessly from gym to brunch
  • All-day comfort: Heels you can actually walk in without wincing
  • Smart value: Premium quality without the luxury markup
  • Versatility: Shoes designed for real life’s many transitions

Discover footwear that keeps pace with your dynamic lifestyle—without compromising on comfort or style.

Our Collection

From boardroom to hiking trail, our carefully curated selection covers every need:

  • Performance Footwear: Technical sneakers with superior support (like our best-selling SKECHERS line)
  • Everyday Essentials: Loafers, oxfords, and flats that pair with everything
  • Seasonal Staples: Weather-ready boots and breezy sandals
  • Home Comfort: Plush slippers that make WFH days better

Our Promise to You

We stand behind every pair with:

  • Honest Pricing: Regular promotions that make quality footwear accessible
  • Global Reach: Shipping to most countries (with clear exceptions noted)
  • Customer-Centric Service: A dedicated team ready at [email protected]
  • Style That Adapts: Timeless designs with modern comfort tech

Footwear should empower your movement through life—not hold you back. That’s why we obsess over every stitch, sole, and silhouette. The result? Shoes you’ll reach for day after day, season after season.
