The Biggest Outlets in South Florida

Sawgrass Mills — The Sunrise Giant

With over 2.3 million square feet of retail space, Sawgrass Mills is the largest outlet center in Florida and the 12th largest in the United States. Located in Sunrise, about 40 minutes from downtown Miami, you'll find brands like Nike Factory Store, Adidas Outlet, Skechers, Reebok, Converse, Vans, and Cole Haan — all with permanent discounts. There are also luxury shoe stores with outlet prices.

Address: 12801 W Sunrise Blvd, Sunrise, FL 33323

Dolphin Mall — The West Side Outlet

In Sweetwater, just west of the city, Dolphin Mall is another major shopping center with great shoe stores. Standouts include Off Broadway Shoe Warehouse, Nike Factory, Skechers, Vans Outlet, and Famous Footwear Outlet. The atmosphere is more relaxed than Sawgrass and it has a solid food court.

Address: 11401 NW 12th St, Miami, FL 33172

Traditional Malls with Large Shoe Departments

Aventura Mall

One of Florida's most visited malls, Aventura Mall in Aventura (north of Miami) is home to stores like Nordstrom (with its extensive shoe section), Macy's, Bloomingdale's, and boutiques such as Stuart Weitzman, Jimmy Choo, Christian Louboutin, and Salvatore Ferragamo. If you're after designer shoes, this is your spot.

Dadeland Mall

In Kendall, south of Miami, Dadeland Mall is South Florida's most traditional shopping center. Its Macy's, Nordstrom, and Saks Fifth Avenue all have full footwear sections for men, women, and children. You'll also find stores like Aldo, Steve Madden, and Hush Puppies.

Miami International Mall

Near the airport in Doral, Miami International Mall offers a solid selection with Dillard's, Macy's, JCPenney, and specialty stores like Foot Locker, Champs Sports, and Journeys for sneakers and athletic footwear.

Cowboy Boot Stores in Miami

Miami has a strong cowboy culture blended with Latin style. Cowboy boots are part of the look for many Miamians — both men and women — and there are specialized stores that carry them.

Cavender's

With locations in Hialeah and other parts of South Florida, Cavender's is a Texas-based chain specializing in cowboy boots from brands like Lucchese, Tony Lama, Justin Boots, and Ariat. They also carry belts, hats, and western apparel. It's the number one reference for boots in Miami.

Boot Barn

Boot Barn has a presence in the Miami metropolitan area with well-stocked stores. They offer cowboy boots for work and everyday wear, with brands like Durango, Corral, and Cody James. They also carry certified work footwear.

Other Western Options in South Florida

Beyond the national chains, there are independent western wear and footwear stores scattered throughout Miami-Dade and Broward counties. It's worth checking recent reviews and verifying hours before visiting, as many are family-run businesses with variable schedules.

Neighborhood and Latin-Owned Shoe Stores

Shoe Stores on Calle Ocho (Little Havana)

In the heart of Little Havana, Calle Ocho (SW 8th Street) has several family-run shoe stores selling formal footwear, baptism and communion shoes, and dress shoes at affordable prices. Many work with leather and offer on-site repairs. To learn more about this area, read our guide to Miami neighborhoods.

Shoe Stores in Hialeah

Hialeah has a high concentration of independent shoe stores, many owned by Cuban and Nicaraguan immigrants. You'll find dress shoes, women's boots, and work footwear at low prices, with personalized service — often the same cobbler who fixes shoes in the back of the store.

West Kendall

In southwest Miami, Kendall has several chain shoe stores like DSW Designer Shoe Warehouse, Shoe Carnival, and Famous Footwear, all offering good value and frequent sales.

Luxury and Designer Shoe Stores

If you're looking for high-end footwear, Miami has several must-visit spots:

• Design District (North Miami): home to boutiques like Christian Louboutin, Giuseppe Zanotti, Valentino, Balenciaga, and Fendi. It's Miami's pedestrian luxury mecca.
• Brickell City Centre: in the financial district, with stores like Saks Fifth Avenue, Intermix, and Swarovski, plus Italian shoe boutiques.
• Bal Harbour Shops: north of Miami Beach, this open-air center features Neiman Marcus, Saks Fifth Avenue, and Prada, Chanel, and Gucci boutiques with their footwear lines.
• Lincoln Road Mall: South Beach's pedestrian promenade has stores like Zara, H&M, and ALDO, plus small independent shops with unique shoes.

Tips for Buying Shoes in Miami

• Check for back-to-school promotions. Florida usually has sales tax holidays during the summer that include footwear up to $100, typically in July–August. Check exact dates each year on the Florida Department of Revenue website.
• Outlets restock weekly. If you go on a Thursday or Friday, you'll find the freshest inventory before the weekend rush.
• Always try them on. Miami's heat can make your feet swell slightly — better to try shoes in the late afternoon.
• Buy online with in-store pickup. Many stores like DSW and Shoe Carnival offer an extra discount for picking up at the location.
• Check the clearance section. At Sawgrass Mills and Dolphin Mall, Nike and Skechers clearance racks often have pairs starting at $25.
