Benders Shoes Clothing and Gifts

Benders is a family-owned shoe, clothing and gift store with roots in northern Minnesota. The shoe selection is the main draw, with athletic, outdoor, occupational, dress and casual footwear from well-known brands for men, women and children. The stores also carry casual clothing for men, dress-casual clothing and accessories for women, and a range of gifts.

Shoe fitting is a specialty, with trained staff who measure feet and help choose footwear. A Certified Orthotist and Pedorthist offers free evaluations for foot problems. The Grand Rapids store is at 409 NW 1st Avenue, and Benders also has locations in Hibbing and Duluth, each with its own hours.
