Where to Find Shoes in Animal Crossing: New Horizons
Acquiring the perfect pair of shoes in ACNH involves exploring various avenues on your island and beyond. From daily shopping trips to special encounters, here’s how you can build your footwear collection.
Shopping at Able Sisters

The primary source for everyday fashion, including a rotating selection of shoes, is the Able Sisters tailor shop. Once unlocked, Mabel and Sabel offer different clothing items daily. Make sure to check their inventory frequently, especially the items displayed on the back wall and in the fitting room catalogue, as you’ll find various boots, sneakers, sandals, and pumps available for purchase with Bells.
Kicks: Your Traveling Shoe Specialist

Keep an eye out for Kicks, the traveling skunk merchant who periodically visits your island’s plaza. Kicks specializes in accessories, including exclusive shoes, socks, and bags that you often can’t find at Able Sisters. Visiting Kicks is a great way to snag rarer or more unique footwear styles to complete specific outfits.
Crafting DIY Recipe Shoes
Some shoes aren’t bought but crafted using DIY recipes. These recipes can be found in message bottles washed ashore, floating balloon presents, or sometimes given by villagers. Notable examples include the various Bunny Day egg shoes (Earth, Leaf, Sky, Stone, Water, Wood) available during the spring event and Recycled Boots fished from the water. Always be on the lookout for new recipes!
Rewards from Seasonal Events
Stylish Wedding Pumps available during the Animal Crossing New Horizons Wedding Season event
Participating in seasonal events throughout the year is another excellent way to acquire special footwear. Events like Bunny Day, Wedding Season (offering Wedding Pumps and Shoes), and potentially others might reward players with unique, themed shoes that are only available for a limited time.
Special Collaborations

Nintendo occasionally releases special collaboration items. The Super Mario Bros. 35th Anniversary update introduced shoes themed after Mario, Luigi, Wario, and Princess Peach, available via the Nook Shopping service under the Promotions tab. Similarly, scanning Sanrio amiibo cards unlocks character-themed items, including shoes like Hello Kitty Shoes, Kiki & Lala Shoes, and Cinnamoroll Sneakers.
Other Sources
Don’t forget other unique acquisition methods! DAL Slippers are mailed as a reward from Dodo Airlines, Pirate Boots can be obtained from helping Pirate Gulliver, and Gold-Armor Shoes and Armor Shoes require DIY recipes, often obtained from specific villager personality types.
