Dillard’s shoe sections cater to nearly any need or occasion. Everything from formal dress shoes to casual sandals can be found in both the men’s and women’s departments.

The women’s section is impressive in size, with various colors of footwear sprinkled throughout and competing for the eye’s attention. It stretches about as far as one can see in the store, right next to the fragrance section, filled with flats, pumps, wedges, loafers, athletic shoes and footwear for special occasions. Fashionistas better pack a lunch if they want to check out the entire selection.

There are lots of shoes, but it’s not just about quantity. The quality matches the volume, with brands such as Ugg, Antonio Melani, Ecco, Nike, Birkenstock, Puma and many, many others.

Men can look for sandals, athletic shoes, sneakers, boots, dress shoes and almost anything else that can go on a foot. There are also products to shine or protect what’s already in the closet, and plenty of socks available as well.

Dillard’s also hosts shoe events, which it posts ahead of time on its website.
