  I bought my first pair of Alden here. I was certain that I want a pair of Indy, but I was unsure about my size. My foot is a bit wider. The owner gave the most professional and insightful comments and suggestions I have ever had. Hands down five stars!

  First let me say to all who come to, live in, or plan to visit Seattle, that this place is one in a million. You walk into shoe heaven when you enter this quaint, perfectly styled, and fresh location of Brick + Mortar! This is the Alden shoe shop of your and my dreams. I walked about eight blocks (of Seattle's crazy hill downtown) in order to visit, and I would have climbed five times that once I saw all Yenni had. Yenni is the owner, and she is an absolute gem to work with. She was able to explain her store, concept, and reason for everything she was doing! I was treated kindly and courteously even though I was in my vacation basics (shorts, t-shirt, and flip flops). Many stores of such a caliber would have been cold and rude. I was so pleased that Yenni didn't even blink, and treated me like a king from beginning to end. She gave me space at the right time to examine the shoes, and was always right there to answer questions. She sized me and proceeded to search her stock for shoes in my size. She began bringing out shoes she loved, and quickly built a selection based on my responses. Yenni curates this shop so wonderfully. She has Alden shoes from the catalog, and a huge selection shell cordovan! You can almost never find someone who carries such a wide variety of Alden's, and especially the shell cordovan. This isn't even the best part though!! Yenni is licensed to DESIGN her own collection through Alden, and they are stamped with the Brick + Mortar name inside as well. A chance to own a one of a kind masterpiece made by Alden and designed by Yenni! I was so excited about this I purchased the shell cordovan shoes I had been wanting, and returned the next day for a special pair designed by Yenni. Seattle is so lucky to have this shop in their city, and I was so incredibly lucky to stumble upon it. If you are in town, and want to experience the best shoes money can buy then take a walk in this shop. It really speaks volumes when the designer and store owner herself is such an amazing person, and so helpful at every level. I will be returning to this shop every time I'm in Seattle, and I have already followed Brick + Mortar on all social media platforms. Her spring line is going to be incredible, and it will be another fantastic shoe I add to my collection. Thank you Yenni for all you do, and to everyone reading... support this amazing one of a kind place!!
