Duane's Top Pick

About Me:
I’ve been with Brown’s for 33 years, and in Nebraska City since 1995. We try to do quite a bit of community service and volunteering, especially with the Nebraska City Jaycees, and the t-ball and coach pitch programs. We are also heavily involved in the 4th of July Fireworks show.
Some of my favorite things include:
The Spring and Fall seasons, lemon bars and mushroom burgers, working the t-ball concession stand, rooting for the Huskers, and blowing stuff up-AKA doing the fireworks show!
A Nebraska City Staple
Brown’s Shoe Fit is proud to have been a part of the Nebraska City community since 1950! Come visit us in historic downtown Nebraska City the next time you are in town checking out the many area orchards, Arbor Lodge or the Lied Center. We want to show you some good old hometown service!
Never Doubt Your Next Step
Family Footwear
We are a family shoe store so we carry footwear from infant’s crib shoes to men’s size 16 work boots and every category in-between. We feature a full line of women’s comfort-casual footwear from nationally known name brands, and our staff is specially trained to make certain that you receive the correct size and fit.
Locally Owned and Operated
The reviews are in for Nebraska City Owner Duane Koehlmoos, and he’s a 5 star guy! With 33 years of Brown’s Shoe Fit experience, and a local presence in Nebraska City since 1995, Duane is as much a staple of the community as Brown’s itself.
Duane and his staff are attentive, knowledgable, and always keep the energy up in the store. There’s a reason out of town relatives make time for a pit stop at BSFC Neb City, and Duane and his team are it!
Safety First!
The store is stocked with work shoes and boots, steel toe and non-steel toe (metal detector safe), so you will not only be comfortable on the job but also safe! We are also capable of fitting employees of the railroads in the type of footwear required to get their job done.
