For Auburn moms & dads · Since 1976

# Need 45 minutes of peace?

You carried the mini-fridge, survived the Target run, and just got told your help is no longer needed. We're 6 minutes from campus on Opelika Road with free parking right out front (no downtown towing!), plus men's shoes, women's shoes, and handbags.

Plan your pit stop [Call (334) 821-5367](tel:+13348215367) 

![The main aisle at The Shoe Room in Auburn, lined with tables of shoes sorted by size and a basket waiting by the front.](https://theshoeroom.com/assets/inside-room-2-Cbi02jNa.webp) 

Grab a basket. Nobody here needs you to assemble a loft bed.

## Four years of "can you come up?"

Auburn brings families to town a few times a year, and every visit has a stretch where your student doesn't need you. Dates change every year, so check with Auburn before you book. Our hours don't change: we're open seven days a week.

1. Summer · 2 days  
**Camp War Eagle** Orientation for them, the family program for you, and a hotel you booked yourself. When the day's sessions wrap, we're 6 minutes away on Opelika Road.
2. August  
**Move-in** Unload the car, wait on the elevator, make the bed. Then take your 45 minutes.
3. Fall  
**Fall Family Weekend** Auburn's official weekend for families. If it lines up with a home game, pack comfortable shoes and see the [game day guide](https://theshoeroom.com/occasions/gameday).
4. Spring  
**A-Day to commencement** A-Day at Jordan-Hare and Ring Night at Langdon Hall in April, then commencement at Neville Arena. Something nice for the photos, something comfortable for the walk in.
5. Any weekend  
**"Are you near Opelika Road?"** If your student asks where you're parked, they already know where we are.

## One stop. Everybody's size.

- **For mom** Your 45 minutes. Take a basket, find your size table, and let the group chat wait. Check the handbags on your way out.
- **For dad** Yes, there are men's shoes: boots, sneakers, and casual shoes on their own tables. Plus free parking, so nobody circles downtown.
- **For your student** Game day boots, rush week heels, and the sneakers they'll wear to every class—at up to 75% off department-store prices, so saying 'yes' at the register doesn't hurt. See the [game day](https://theshoeroom.com/occasions/gameday) and [rush week](https://theshoeroom.com/occasions/rush) guides.

## Why Opelika Road beats downtown on a busy weekend.

Move-in, Family Weekend, and graduation fill up downtown Auburn. We're 6 minutes from campus with free parking right out front by the checkered pillars. No meters, no towing stress.

We're open Monday–Friday 10 AM–7 PM · Saturday 9 AM–6 PM · Sunday 1–5 PM, and we take Cash, Credit Card, and Apple Pay. Looking for something specific? Call [(334) 821-5367](tel:+13348215367) before you head over, since what's on the tables changes all the time. Other questions? [Whaddya want to know?](https://theshoeroom.com/faq)
