2026’s Top 10 Best Shoe Stores in Lagos | 7hubent Lagos Business Marketing
“Your feet carry you through life — make sure they look good doing it.”
As I stepped out in 2018 to buy my first “proper” pair of leather sandals for my small business pitch, I walked into a shop in Ikeja. The shopkeeper looked at me, laughed slightly, then asked: “You want to impress clients or walk comfortably?” He sold me a sturdier pair, and that sandal outlasted half of my office chairs. Since then, I’ve made it a little mission to find the best shoe stores in Lagos — places that mix style, durability, value, and customer love.
Today, that mission becomes your cheat-sheet. Whether you’re a hustler in Mushin, a fashion lover in Victoria Island, or just someone tired of painful shoes that flop in the rain, here are 2026’s Top 10 Shoe Stores in Lagos — packed with local taste, real reviews, and “where to find them” addresses.

🥾 Criteria: How I Rang This List
To avoid “my uncle’s shoe shop is best” bias, I scored each store on:
-
Quality & durability — shoes must last past two rainy seasons
-
Design variety & trend relevance — local and global styles
-
Customer experience & trust — how real people feel
-
Price-to-value ratio — no daylight between price and worth
-
Location & accessibility — ease for Lagosians
With that, here are the Top 10 Best Shoe Stores in Lagos 2026:
1. Nike Store Ikeja City Mall
Address: Ikeja, Alausa, Obafemi Awolowo Way (Nike.com)
Why it’s top: the official brand store in Lagos. You get real Nike shoes, proper sizing, returns (sometimes), and high trust.
Pro tip: Go right after release days to snag new drops before trolls buy them all.
2. Shoelayers (Online & Surulere branch)
They have physical pick-up at Shoprite Adeniran Ogunsanya Mall (Shoe Layers)
Why it’s top: combines online convenience with real shops. You inspect before accepting delivery.
Real talk: I once ordered a pair online, they delayed. Then I walked into their Surulere branch, made a live complaint, and they upgraded me free. That’s authority + service.
3. Fancy Soles
Online and Lagos presence (Fancy Soles)
Why: Strong mix of casual, formal, trendy. They also carry international brands at Nigerian prices.
Heads up: measure your foot. Some pairs run “small” — reviews often mention sizing issues.
4. Lhambi Shoe Store
Located in Lagos proper (Lhambi)
Why: local aesthetic, good custom options for heels, flats, and bags.
What I like: Their “deal days” when heels drop 30–50%. I got a pair for ₦20,000 once she said “for you, small price.”
5. Monan Shoes
Men’s specialist store (Monan Shoes)
Why: If you want sharp leather shoes or formal brogues, this is your go-to.
Testimony: My cousin’s lawyer shoes came from Monan, and the leather stayed shiny after rain. He still flexes them.
6. Peach & Haute (female footwear)
Instagram presence, Lagos base (Instagram)
Why: For ladies who want couture heels and uniques.
Note: Design choice over mass brand, so a bit pricier but unique.
7. OA Shoes (Men’s)
Instagram storefront from Surulere area (Instagram)
Why: They have sold over 10k men’s pairs (per their page) — so trust is built.
Trick: DM them with your foot photo; many respond with custom sizes.
8. Zhoni (Adeniran Ogunsanya Mall)
Part of the footwear scene list (Infoisinfo Lagos)
Why: They mix local flavor (Ankara prints, local leather) with global shoe styles.
Visit: When mall foot traffic is low (mornings), the sales attendants are chattier and may give extra discounts.
9. Masina Shoes (Jimoh Meji, Lawanson)
From local listings (Infoisinfo Lagos)
Why: Trusted neighborhood store. Less glitzy, but reliable.
My memory: On a rainy Wednesday I dashed there to replace a soaked pair. They pulled out something solid within 10 minutes. Real MVP.
10. IVO World (Aboru/Iyana)
Cited in Lagos footwear lists (Infoisinfo Lagos)
Why: Strong in women & kids segment, plus local styles.
Go there when: You want something offbeat, not just “international brand copy.”

FAQ: Your burning questions answered
Q1: Which store is cheapest?
Masina, IVO World, and Zhoni often undercut big names. But “cheap” without quality is waste.
Q2: Can I trust online stores in Lagos?
Yes — if they have solid reviews, showroom, or “click & collect” option. Shoelayers is a good example.
Q3: Do all stores accept returns?
No. Brand stores like Nike have return policies. Smaller ones depend on goodwill.
Q4: Can I advertise my shoe business on 7hubent?
Absolutely — it’s free. As you shine, your customers will find you via our platform.
Q5: What’s the ideal budget?
Expect ₦25,000–₦120,000 for a good pair, depending on material and brand. Anything far lower likely compromises durability.
