About
Birkenstocks and comfort shoes, woman-owned since 1989.Fourth Ave Footwear at 209 N Fourth Ave has been a woman-owned and operated shoe shop in Ann Arbor since 1989, which makes it one of the longest-running independent retailers in Kerrytown. It leans hard into comfort and durability rather than season, and it is enough of a Birkenstock specialist that it trades online as annarborbirkenstock.com. Its own motto is that things of quality have no fear of time.A shop that fits shoes properly is a different proposition from a wall of boxes, and this is the fitting kind. It sits two doors from Encore Records on the Fourth Avenue run.Open 10am to 6pm Monday through Saturday and noon to 4pm Sunday. That four-hour Sunday is the shortest regular day of any shop on the street, so Sunday needs planning. Rated 4.8 from 163 reviews. Phone (734) 663-1644.
