Our Mission

Elite Feet is not a chain store.

We are one store with one goal in mind for each and every customer. Elite Feet wants to provide you with the best fitting most comfortable shoes for your feet.

The caring and educated specialist at Elite Feet will properly fit you with shoes that will benefit your overall health. Feet can vary greatly in terms of physical needs and fitting your shoe for length, width, support, and stability is very important in finding your right shoe.

Why Choose Us

We don’t just stock name brands

Unlike most specialty shoe stores, we choose our inventory based on the quality of workmanship, value/price ratio, and vender/retailer relationship. We believe our customers deserve only the very best products at a reasonable cost.

We stock for every season

The selection of footwear changes with the season.  Elite Feet has the very best in running and walking shoes year-round.  Come spring, the shoe wall grows to include a great selection of supportive flips and slides.

More than shoes

Elite Feet deals with a range of fits in shapes, sizes (5-13 women’s, 7-16 men’s) and widths (AA-EE women’s, B-EEEE men’s) in running and walking shoes. Socks cater to women’s size 4 up to men’s size 15.5 and one sock style even comes in wide. Over-the-counter orthotic inserts come in twelve different varieties, each one serving a specific purpose. Eight of them can be customized to your particular needs.

Don & leslie

Don is known as the Shoe Guru since 1980 and to this day loves the smell of new shoes. Bring up the subjects of Kansas City, Jayhawk Basketball, BBQ or The Beatles and you will find yourself in the conversation for sure. He truly loves getting to visit and know people (now on many second, third, and even fourth generations) that come to Elite Feet. He can recall feet and the shoes worn by a particular individual yet not what he had for dinner. Leslie, the "Sock Queen", retired in 2018 to spend more time with their grands. She can be found testing new shoes and socks while spotting lucky herons. Don and Leslie are parents of 3 daughters, 2 pups - Penny and Kit, and grandparents (Nana and Opa) of three adorable kiddos.
