Thank you! My husband and I were at Fontana’s Shoes in Ithaca on Monday. He got hiking boots, and we both got sandles and running shoes. I'm difficult to fit in running shoes. WOW! You fitted me beautifully! I ran 4 miles last night and forgot I was wearing brand new shoes. I didn't even think about my feet once! Thank you for taking the time to really work with both of us. Well worth the drive (1.5 hours)! And thank you for the suggestions to the various waterfalls and hikes. We did them all (in our new sandles!), in the rain and had a great day!!! THANK YOU!!!!

I was recommended by physical therapist to check Fontana for shoes that can support my feet and knees. The salespeople are very patient and knowledgeable about choosing shoes that can best fit customers’ feet. Their prices are also reasonable.

Pretty disappointed to hear that my friend was unable to return improperly fitting birkenstocks after wearing them for only one day. It was their first experience ever trying on or buying birks, so he had assistance in store to find a size and trusted the sales associate. After just one day of wearing them, they decided that the fit was too small and uncomfortable and wanted to exchange for a larger size. Fontanas told them that this would not be possible because they had been worn for one singular day.

Hadn't been to Fontana's in years which is a shame because they are still the best place to buy shoes in town by a long shot. Their salespeople are old-school: they know their stuff! Refreshing.

Fontana has a wonderful selection of shoes from running shoes to boots. I was undecided on what boots I wanted, but the salesperson was able to talk to me about the advantages of each. This helped me narrow down my decision to one I felt most comfortable with.

I've been buying shoes here for years. The sales people are friendly and helpful but not pushy. The store has a great selection and they are willing to special order for you.

Fantastic service. Very knowledgeable staff. Super friendly. Fast too! Granted, we went on a weekday at 1pm so unsure what a busy weekend might be like, but I'm sure the staff is equally helpful and kind.

This shoe store is the BEST! Marnie did an awesome job fitting me for a pair of blundstones! Also my partner came in another day after a car splashed water all over her. The employee stopped everything and help dry her off! They really go above and beyond!

The store looks small from the outside but every single shoe they have is probably more than worth the money. Most comfortable (and good looking!) shoes I bought in years. They carefully measured my feet and took the time to understand my needs while also leaving me space to come to a decision. 10/10 would recommend going there while you are in Ithaca!

Had a great time buying some new boots last minute right before they closed up. The salesperson was awesome! Walked my wife and I through purchasing some new Blundstone boots which we have fallen in love with! 10 outta 10 would recommend!!
