Famous Footwear is a major player in the shoe industry.  With over nine-hundred retail locations around the country they are guaranteed to make the best deals with the people that shop their stores.  With this you should couple the fact that they are a high volume buyer of shoes and make the best deals with their wholesalers so they can sell the product for the best price.  This has endeared them to the public and made them the number one shoe seller in the country.  This is why they have decided to move into the online world as well.

FamousFootwear.com is one of the nicer looking shoe selling websites that is currently available on the web.  You are greeted on the landing page by a smiling face and some low key graphics.  The entire front page is designed to have a comfortable feeling, a tactic no doubt designed by the company as a marketing tool.  The tool works well.  The site is relaxing and anything but busy in the sense of overdone or crowded with too much stuff or information.

They are lacking in some of the search functions that other sites have.  FamousFootwear.com only offers very basic searching and that means you will spend a lot of time weeding through the results hoping to find the pair that you desire.  This does cut down on the usefulness of the site itself.  You do have to spend a lot more time working around this lack of function then should be necessary but the owners may be working on this.  This site is still young and may have more function added once it starts to pay off for them.

You will find that navigation is good through the site.  They have a separate page set up for all the on going sales they offer.  The list is broken down by type per men, kids and so on.  They also have a screen shot of the in store flyer that they put out each week.  This is a neat addition to the online world as the pages turn when you click on them.  The sales that are offered in the flyer are accepted online as well so it will do some good to browse the ads if you have the chance.

Like a few other sites, FamousFootwear.com has put into force a rewards program.  Buyers can earn points that can be redeemed for discounts and free products throughout the site.  It may take a while to get enough points but it is a nice addition.

All together there is not a whole lot to complain about when it comes to FamousFootwear.com.  They have a nice site and most of the shoes they sell are very high in quality over all.
