In this day of franchise stores and towns that pretty much look the same from one strip mall to the next, Levin's Shoes & Dry Goods, just like the town, Marengo, retain a distinctive homey and personal air. The owners proudly state, "We emphasize quality, price and service. Customers get individual attention." Levin's even orders merchandise, such as wide width shoes, with particular customers in mind. As the years passed, the store, which originally sold work boots and bib overalls to farmers, diversified into other lines, including flannel shirts, cotton stockings and dresses. Today, Levin's still sells Oshkosh B'Gosh bibs and American-made work boots, but also offers brands such as Woolrich, Airwalks, and New Balance Athletic shoes. Recently there has been an increase in demand for wide width shoes of all styles. Levin's understands the importance of a good-fitting shoe and carries a wide selection of wide width shoes for men, women and children. The only downfall to this excellent store is that it is only located in Marengo, and as mentioned by the family, "we'll always be in Marengo."

The most convenient option for distant customers is to browse their online website and place orders there. Customers are able to e-mail an explanation of their athletic needs to the Levin's family and they will respond with various suggestions of wide width shoes. The wide width shoes that are available to view or order through their online site include;
