FAQ
1. What makes Woldruff’s different from other shoe stores near me?
Woldruff’s Footwear is different because our team brings more than 120 years of combined experience fitting feet of every shape, size, and need. Our staff truly cares about helping people feel better, walk comfortably, and find shoes that genuinely improve their day. We focus on quality footwear, proper fit, and long‑lasting comfort, not quick sales or trends that don’t serve our customers.
Our owner is committed to honoring Christ in all he does, and that spirit of service shows in the way we treat every person who walks through our doors. We’ve been part of the downtown Goshen community for generations, and we’ve built a reputation for kindness, expertise, and doing what’s right for the customer. People come to us because they trust us — and they leave happy, supported, and confident in their shoes.
2. Do you carry supportive shoes for foot pain or plantar fasciitis?
Yes. Woldruff’s Footwear is one of the most trusted places in the area for foot‑pain solutions, and we are highly recommended by many local podiatrists. We offer supportive shoes, inserts, socks, and accessories for overpronation, plantar fasciitis, heel pain, high arches, bunions, neuropathy, hammer toes, dropped arches, and many other concerns.
We carry hundreds of insoles to support every type of foot, including Aetrex, PowerStep, Birkenstock, and Pedag. Our sock wall features top performance and comfort brands such as Darn Tough, Smartwool, OS1st, and Sockwell. (Wide Open is a Darn Tough brand.)
We also offer OOFOS recovery sandals, which are excellent for easing plantar fasciitis pain — especially for wearing around the house, after workouts, or anytime you need maximum shock absorption and relief.

We also carry narrow and standard widths in many Birkenstock and New Balance styles.
Many of our comfort, dress, and casual brands also come in multiple widths (though not every style does). These include Kizik, Skechers, Merrell, Oboz, Keen, Alegria, Dansko, Taos, Aetrex, Pikolinos, Vionic, Danner, Dunham, Lowa, Johnston & Murphy, Finn Comfort, Naot, Cole Haan, and Jambu.

While our kids’ selection is limited, every pair we carry is chosen for comfort, durability, and proper foot development.
8. Do you help with overpronation, high arches, or other foot issues?
Yes. Helping customers with specific foot issues is one of our core specialties. Our experienced shoe fitters work every day with people who have overpronation, high arches, bunions, plantar fasciitis, heel pain, neuropathy, hammer toes, dropped arches, and many other concerns.
We start by measuring your feet, asking about your pain points, and watching how you walk so we can understand exactly what type of support you need. We carry a wide range of supportive footwear, hundreds of insoles, specialized socks, targeted accessories, and OOFOS recovery sandals, which are excellent for easing plantar fasciitis and reducing impact stress during recovery.
9. Do I need an appointment for a personalized fitting?
No appointment is needed. You’re welcome to walk in anytime, and our experienced fitters will be happy to help you. We take the time to measure your feet, understand your needs, and guide you to the right shoes — all with the same personalized sit‑and‑fit service we’re known for.
