Excellent service. Finally have a pair of hiking/walking shoes that fit properly and are pain free.
Excellent and friendly service from Rachel.
Wish I knew about Montanos before I wasted a fortune online buying wrong sized, ill fitting shoes.
Went to a prominent author/hiking/runner podiatrist who sends all his clients to Montanos, because of the pain I was experiencing with a new pair of name brand hiking shoes I purchased online. Never knew how your feet change as you get older.
You won me over as a new customer ... and guess what? I checked online prices and saved $49. Thanks Rachel.Helpful 0Thanks 0Love this 0Oh no 0 - Sep 3, 2023
They don't make shoe stores like Montano's anymore. We've been here multiple times in the last year for hiking boots, sandals, and socks, and each time we've received prompt, preemptive service, great recommendations, and help both with sizing and shoe retrieval. They went especially out of the way to help with hiking boots, in which they had my size but not the color that I wanted and arranged to run the color that I wanted over from their warehouse before I ultimately decided to go with the first color. Just excellent service all around. Hats off to every one of their workers with whom I interacted and to Saugerties for keeping this business.

Excellent experience! Me and the wife were treated with care & courtesy. Their level of knowledge is unreal. Edward took excellent care of us. This is our new favorite shoe store. Thank you, Pasco & Valerie!

This place is great, they know what they are doing for sure! Came in for a work boot and running shoe and Lisa was able to assist right away! She has fantastic recommendations and different shoes/boots to compare them to. Who knew that I was wearing the wrong size for so many years. After finding a good pair of each, Mr montano actually came to confirm the fitting! The prices are great too! If you need any shoe, sneaker or boot, this is the place!!!!

I thought places like this had ceased to exist. Nice to see an old fashioned shoe store still going. Great selection. Great service. Definitely will be going to Montano's every time I need shoes.

The best shoe store I've seen since I was a little kid!! These guys are great.
Over the past few months I've had trouble finding a good pair of Oxfords. I'd worn Dr Martens for 20 yrs and the fit somehow changed in between when I got my last pair and now. And after going thru several pairs of other brands thru Amazon, I tried going to Montano's.
You get personalized service, even when they're busy -- when I was there, the young lady who helped me had two other customers she was working with and she still showed me the most professional courtesy she could. Plus, the store's owner checked the fit too.
It's great to see a store that's still thriving when so many other indie businesses are failing because of chains and online shopping. Let's hope they don't ever close!Helpful 0Thanks 0Love this 0Oh no 0 - Jeanine N.Montgomery, NY155125Aug 16, 2019
I love this shoe store! They fit my twin girls for their first walking shoes and the service is phenomenal. I drove an hour to get to their store and it was totally worth the drive. My girls were in totally different sizes and widths and I would have never been able to get the proper fit without their expertise. I will definitely be taking the trip every time my girls outgrow their shoes. Thank you to the rep. Jeffrey for such awesome service!
