Who is Strut ?
We are a new alternative retail shoe store founded in 2002, located in sunny South Florida, in the heart of Ft. Lauderdale. (USA)
Why should I consider shopping at Strut instead of other online stores ?
Strut is different than most online shopping experiences. We are an actual retail store and have a physical address where you can go and visit our knowledgable staff. You can reach out and touch us, contrary to most other online shopping experiences. We are not a warehouse or garage operation and stock most everything we display on our web site. We humbly admit that we may not have all colors and sizes in stock all the time but we can get it for you in a reasonable amount of time. If we are unable to honor your specific request, we will notify you as soon as possible and we will try to suggest alternative items that are immediatly available for delivery. If the item is not in stock, we will quote you a reasonable delivery date. Another thing that separates us from many other online stores is our billing policy. Strut will not bill your credit card until the day of shipping. Many online stores will bill your credit card even if they do not have product to ship. They often times rely on your money to finance their inventory. Strut reserves the right to request payment in advance for special or custom orders and will inform you immediately about this, if applicable to your order.
What else separates Strut from other online and retail shoe stores?
Strut is more than just a retail and an online shoe store, we are a lifestyle! We have made a lot of friends over the years and encourage you to visit our shop, and if you are not able to visit our area, visit our online store.
Why should I sign the Strut guestbook ?
By taking the time to sign our guestbook, you will be adding your name to our email address book. We will contact you offering you information about our special offerings like discounts on merchandise only available to persons on our email list.
Where can I wear the shoes & boots that Strut sells ?
Strut offers a wide variety of shoes and boots that can be worn to any event that commands cutting edge footwear!

We offer several payment options with the Wish List Program as follows:
- Money Order - This is the preferred mothod of payment method.
- Western Union & Money Gram - You must locate a center in your area and arrange to transfer funds to Strut.
- Wire Transfer - This option requires you to pay an additional bank fee in addition to the cost of the product and shipping ($5 US Banks / $15 Intl Banks).
- Personal Check - We do accept this method but will not be able to process the order until the check clears the bank which may delay the processing of your order by 2 weeks.
- Credit Card - We accept this method on occasion but this is done on an individual basis and is a trying experience! The big issue here is credit card fraud, which is rampant on the internet. Since the gift is being purchased by a person that has no knowledge of who you are, the charge can be disputed resulting in an irrevocable chargeback! We do not like the terms of the credit card merchant banks but must live with them. You can always make arrangement with the gift bearer to have the item send to them and if you want to offer them your personal information they can always forward the item to you. If you reveal your personal information to the gift bearer they can, at times, add your personal address as an alternate address to their credit card profile as well. We do not recommend offering personal details to strangers as this exposes you to strangers that will now know your home address. If your credit card is accepted we will bill under our parent company name "Fetish Factory".
- Bill Pay Online - is only available to individuals with US Banks and is unavailable to orders placed by International customers. If you bank outside the USA this option is not available.
