Bodell's Shoes

Read about Bodells as I was searching for an "old style" shoe store to take my 99 year old Godmother for proper shoe fitting. Service was excellent. The salesman, a true foot specialist, took his time helping her find the right pair to keep her comfortable and well supported.. well with the hour trip.

I was looking for a good walking shoe which I walk 5 days a week. I was looking at New Balance Shoes but did not know which style I needed. I went and checked on YouTube and came across Richard Bodell’s video on the Mens New Balance 1540V3. He actually had the most detailed video out of anyone else. I actually watched all of his video’s on YouTube. His first impressions and knowledge attracted me to watch all of his videos. I have flat feet. I was so amazed on how much knowledge that he had on not just the shoes that you need but asks you first if you have any problems with you feet or legs. Then he customizes the shoes that you need for your feet. I live in Indiana and was to far away to go in person to his store. I first emailed Richard everything about my problems with my feet and legs and he replied back to me and answered all my questions and he then picked out the shoe that I needed for my walking needs. Lastly after he answered all my questions by email and gave me the total price of the shoes. I then called him and placed my order for the shoes that he recommended for me. I would highly recommend to anyone that is looking for shoes to either email or call him directly. He is extremely knowledgeable and does 100% know his shoes. He has 40 years of experience. I will always in the future purchase from him. You cannot go wrong with Richard. Great customer service. Highly recommended. Fast shipping. Very well packaged and a wonderful shopping experience. I did purchase New Balance 1540v3 walking/running shoes and they only lasted roughly 7 months. I had noticed on the right shoe up in front by mesh where big toe is the mesh had a small hole in it on top. I am a dedicated walker and only walk on concrete & blacktop. I never walk in the mud, rain, ice & grass. I took a picture of hole in mesh on right shoe and emailed Richard. He got back with me the next day and told me to mail shoes back to him since I live to far away to drive to shoe store and would replace them with brand new ones. I mailed the shoes back to him. 2 weeks later Richard mailed me the exact same shoes back in a different color. Great customer service 100% highly recommended. I will always buy my walking/running shoes from him since I walk year round to take care of my walking needs.

Needed a pair of orthopedic shoes for my feet. I stopped in and talked with Richard. He was able to fit me with a pair of shoes that makes walking much more comfortable. I plan on returning to buy another pair. They make walking much more comfortable.

The staff is very attentive and helpful. They have a great selection of shoes. My mother has problem feet and this is pretty much the only place she buys shoes at. They also have birkenstocks, and they will measure your feet carefully to make sure you get ones that fit perfectly.
