Browns 1191 Ste-Catherine W. Montreal 514-987-1206 Browns

Over 20 years of business has taught this persistent company a lot about selling shoes. With its long beginnings as a restrained black & brown men’s shoe store, it has since transformed into a flashy and hip centre for Montreal shoe shoppers. Today’s Brown’s carries a variety of high-end shoes from Prada, Gucci and Chuck Taylor’s by John Varvatos. To get away from the store’s constant buzz, just take your goods to the upstairs fitting lounge for a calm and upscale environment.
