Carella's Art and Sole Footwear

I found this store because of Tread Labs' "store locator" tool. Very glad I did. I prefer shopping at a local business than online or at a chain store. Great merchandise, and friendly, helpful service. My first time in, I left with two pairs of shoes. I can't tell you how many stores I walk in and out of with nothing, so this was great. Thanks!

James is amazing; kind and patient! I finally found a place that offers shoes that don't hurt my feet! What a gem at the Jersey Shore. So glad I stumbled upon this little boutique shoe store that caters with old fashioned charm and politeness! Can't say enough good things!!!

Blocks from the Avon beach, Carella’s is a FULL service high quality shoe store that is so hard to find. Jim measures you, and helps you find the right shoe and the right fit. We geared up with new running shoes for the shore. Boardwalk here we come.

A wonderful shop to buy shoes for real life.
I am editing this 5 years later. This is my favorite shoe store. The service is above and beyond. I now have my 23 year old niece buying her shoes here. I want her to be on the path of not ruining her feet!

It's my go shop small. Great people and selection.

Such a wonderful shopping experience. I went in for Hokas and they had such a wide variety to choose from. Jim is so knowledgeable and incredibly helpful. I couldn’t recommend them more!

What a gem! Carella's is the place to go for very high quality shoes and even higher quality service. When shopping here, you will only find the best brands, and your feet will thank you for it! Highly recommended.

I have been suffering from plantar fasciitis for over a year. Jim at Carella's has been such a wonderful support throughout the ordeal and has set me up with footwear and orthopedic inserts to help me heal. I cannot say enough wonderful things about the level of customer service, knowledge, and genuine care that is offered at Carella's.

My wife got very professional service and advice from the owner, who knows his merchandise and is more concerned about doing the right thing for customers than just making the sale. What a huge difference from stores that have low-wage workers who know little and care less! This is not a place to find cheap shoes, but they give you what you pay for.

I have been going to Carella's for years for the great name brands for my poor arches, and exceptional and personalized service. Jimmy introduced me to the right brands for my feet and I wish I had visited years before. Even though I've now relocated to the west, I always make sure I stop into Carella's when I'm back visiting NJ.

The owner of this store really knows his stuff about shoes and the brands he carries Plus he is a very patient salesperson even if you dont end up purchasing something, he doesnt get impatient or perturb with you What great qualities

Great owner. Really helpful, kind, professional and warm. Got a pair of shoes I'll be able to wear at work without getting blisters and scars! 😂 Definitely has my business.

Quality footwear for style and comfort. Kind and patient personalized service. Goes out of his way to get what you want. Once you try this place you won't shop anywhere else.

Plantar Fasciitis is the worst. Went to Carella’s and knew exactly what I needed. Got 3 pairs of shoes. Great customer service.

Helpful , instructive and friendly. I recommend him for anyone with special shoe needs.
