Find Your
Perfect Step.
Quality shoes for walking, working, and everything in between — fitted with care, not rushed.
A Neighborhood
Shoe Store
Nelson's Footwear has been a quiet part of Chico's everyday rhythm — the kind of place where someone actually takes the time to check if a shoe fits right, not just which size it is.
We carry brands you trust alongside the ones worth discovering. Walking shoes that won't quit. Work boots built for real days. Dress shoes that look as good as they feel. And yes — we carry kids' sizes too, because growth doesn't wait.
Located at 1931 E 20th St, just off East Avenue. Free parking out front.
A Pair for
Every Occasion
Walking & Casual
Lightweight, cushioned, and ready for a long day on your feet — from grocery runs to trailheads.
Running & Athletic
From pavement to path, find the support and responsiveness that matches your stride.
Work & Outdoor
Steel-toe, waterproof, all-day comfortable — boots that handle the job and then some.
Dress & Formal
Office-ready or event-ready — leather shoes that look sharp and feel like they were made for you.
Kids' Footwear
Sturdy soles and easy closures for little feet that are always in motion. All sizes, all styles.
Sandals & Summer
Breathable, supportive, and easy to slip on — because your feet deserve a break too.
