We established Alternatives Shoes in 1988 to offer the consumer in Chicago just that, an Alternative. At that time in Chicago, the independent retailers offered the same brand names as the department stores and little else.
The owners, the husband an Italian, and the wife, an American, have a family tradition of shoe experience behind them. They travel to Europe constantly and work directly with the stylists to keep you on the cutting edge of fashion, bringing you the latest footwear trends. We are happy to offer these fantastic shoes at an affordable price.
