Old-fashioned service and a well-appointed selection of high quality shoe brands delineate Van Dyke and Bacon from the mall shops or, you know, Zappos. The staff measures your foot with an old-school metal gauge to help you comfortably fit a pair from Clarks Ecco line or runners’ favorite New Balance. The store also carries Neil M Footwear in handsome leather, MBT’s physiologically sound—and slightly fug—sneaks, Danskos for the man man enough to wear a clog, sporty Sebagos, and shoes from SAS and P. W. Minor, companies focused on your feet feeling good. And considering the number of schoolkids getting their feetsies measured there the last time we stopped in, it’s the Best Little Men’s Shoe Store too.
