Imelda's Shoes

History

Way back in 1994, Imelda's arrived in Portland with a fresh style of shoe shopping. Gone are the precious showrooms and ornate display racks. Gone are the mysterious inner-sanctum stockrooms. Imelda's is a more fun, full-disclosure place. The boxes are on the floor alongside a deeply knowledgeable, non-commissioned, sales staff. It's less school, more recess. It's also apparent: this place is for shoe lovers, by shoe lovers. As for style, it's where trends show up before they're, well, trends. Pam (the owner) never met a major shoe show she didn't like, spotting emerging looks well ahead of places that rely on sales reps alone. Best of all, Imelda's marries style and comfort in a uniquely Portland vibe. Add equally surprising jewelry, handbags and Louie's Shoes for Men and it's and equal-opportunity outing. It's no wonder Imelda's has been voted the #1 shoe shop in Portland.
