Famous Footwear accepts Apple Pay and other contactless payment methods for in-store purchases so you can use any mobile device from Apple that supports contactless payments there. If you’ve set up a mobile wallet on your phone already, you just need to unlock your phone and hold it in front of the terminal to pay like you would do at any other store. You can also use Google Pay and Samsung Pay for in-store purchases at this shoe store.

It’s also noteworthy that Famous Footwear accepts PayPal and Venmo for in-store purchases. While many online stores allow you to use these payment options, it’s less common for brick-and-mortar stores to accept them. Sometimes you can link your PayPal account to a retailer’s mobile app as a workaround so you can make in-store purchases that way, but it’s not necessary to do that at this shoe store.

More Information About Famous Footwear

If you’re not familiar with Famous Footwear, it operates large shoe stores that sell a wide variety of brand-name shoes. Smaller shoe stores are often focused on a specific market such as athletes and department stores have many other products to stock besides shoes. As a result, Famous Footwear offers more selection than other stores that sell shoes.

You could consider Famous Footwear to be a category killer or a destination store that you’d visit specifically to find shoes that you can’t find elsewhere. This store sells many types of shoes including boots, sneakers, clogs, and running shoes. It’s a national chain and you’ll see its shoe stores at many malls in Southern California. It isn’t a discount store, though, and you can find lower-quality shoes at other stores for lower prices. It doesn’t offer price matching either.

Other Stores That Sell Shoes And Accept Apple Pay

You can buy name-brand sneakers from major shoe manufacturers at Kohl’s and its product listings are available online. This department store accepts Apple Pay as well.

The discount department store Ross sells shoes for low prices. It doesn’t list its merchandise online, though, so you’ll have to visit a store to see what it has in stock. Each store carries different products.

You can also buy name-brand shoes at Warehouse Shoe Sale or WSS. This is another discount shoe store that has stores throughout Southern California.

Another shoe store that you’ll see in many Southern California malls is Shoe Palace. It’s also a specialized retail store. You can buy lots of shoes there but it doesn’t sell some other products that are available at department stores.

The extreme sports store Tillys is a place where you can buy skateboards as well as shoes, clothing, and other apparel designed for outdoor sports.
