Even though it's very easy to order shoes online nowadays, but little kids can't exactly verbally their thoughts or whether something is truly comfortable beyond the initial 2 minute try-on, it's very important to have someone measure out my kids' feet and make recommendations based on their feet shape and the right type/brand of shoes to wear for their age. For example, the owner was able to tell me that it's not good for a child's feet development if you let them wear such type/brand of shoes too early, and that sole flexibility is essential for feet development when they initially learn to walk, etc. We've been coming here for years and are always happy with their advice and service.

Had a fantastic experience! Was in and out in 10 minutes with 2 pairs of shoes for my little one. The owner wasn’t fazed by my child’s fear of the foot-measuring device and was happy to do some guesswork based on her clothing size. I’m more than happy to pay $50 a pair when they fit splendidly and will last for a while. Will definitely be a repeat customer!

My mom took me here as a kid, now we take my kids. We love this family and store. They always measure the kids feet and give good advice. So glad you stayed in South Pasadena all these years.

Packed with shoes and hats to navigate on your own but the sales woman knows where everything is and can help you find what you're looking for.

I love this place. I've been taking my kid here since he could walk and the shoes that he tries on are always high quality and fit perfectly. We'll come here until my kid hits adulthood!

Store will rip you off. Driving to Pasadena from OC my son rushed into car without his shoes. I had no choice but to Yelp where to buy kids shoes in Pasadena. I came into the store and saw a lot of options but no pricing on most of the shoes. I explained we are in a rush and needed a pair of shoes since my son left the house without his shoes. She didn't bother offering options or much help. After about 15mins in the store asking pricing and sizing we weren't able to find anything for him. We saw a pair of girl maryjanes which my daughter needed for school. I asked her pricing when she said $35. I told her we would take it. I kept looking at because we need shoes for my son and couldn't find anything my son would wear more then once that was under $30. Finally my son saw a pair of rainboots and the lady said those were $15. I told her fine we will take them both. I realized I forgot my wallet in the car and hurry and went to get it. When I got back she said both shoes were $75. At first I didn't think much about it and gave her my credit card bc I was in a rush but then I realized this wasn't the price she said so I asked her why so much. She said the maryjanes were $55. I told her that's not what she told me so I said forget it we just take rainboots and rushed out. Later on I saw a price tag on boots which said $10. Don't trust this store. They will rip you off. I couldn't believe she would charge me more just to make an extra $5.

She was so patient and helpful with my screaming and crying children. We bought a pair for each and they don't want to take them off. We will be back for more! Thank you!

I drove across town today to visit this store with my wife and two children. The store opens at noon on Saturday. We waited for 20 minutes outside the store in the sun. It never opened. We left. On the way across town back to our house I called them repeatedly. They finally answered their phone at 12:30PM. I asked why they were not open at noon and the owner told me that she had some errands to run in the morning. I guess her errands are more important than my wife, my children and me. I guess her errands are important enough to make me wait outside her store in the sun for twenty minutes. I guess her errands are more important than the few hours I have on the weekends. I hope she had a good time on her errands. I'm going over to Journeys Kidz at the Santa Anita Mall! Don't waste your time at this store.

I love this place. Literally spent hours agonizing over shoes for my toddler with low muscle tone and special inserts prescribed by his Physical Therapist. Walked in on Sat afternoon and the nice lady helped us size, and find the perfect pair of shoes that are supportive and accommodate the inserts. The store has a ton of inventory and great shoes like Striderites, I also ordered 11 pairs to try on from their site and should have just come here from the first place. Prices are really fair too, the same type on the website was actually slightly more even including tax. Save your sanity and just bring your kiddos in here. Parking is free and plentiful in the lot.

We've been here many times to buy shoes for our kids and for my husband. The place is jam packed full of shoes. My advice is to just let the shopkeeper know what you're looking for and let her bring stuff to you, there's not a lot of room to walk about and the displays are many and crammed together, so it's hard to "see" stuff because there's so much of it. This is old-timey service, she measures your foot and she knows how the shoes run (narrow, high arch, etc.) and can quickly find a good match for you. They have a LARGE inventory of rainboots and snow boots both for kids and adults and I should add, they soooo many styles and colors in the kids rainboots --- it's the largest I've seen anywhere. They have large inventory of Crocs and Converse. If you have toddlers, they also have a very large collection of Robeeze as well as some Stride Rite and Mini Me. They have a lot of flip flops, again both for kids (with the strap in the back) and for adults (Vans, Flojos, etc.)For ladies they have some fashion boots and Keds slip ons. They also have a lot of athletic Asics tennis shoes.I appreciate the reasonable prices, no fighting crowds and personal service!

I am fond of this store, because the lady knows shoes. Excellent selection of children's shoes. I also go here for tennis shoe liners and they have been great! She will help you find the ones that fit and feel just right. Service like this is hard to find. I came at opening once and had to wait for the owner to get there. It was worth the wait, but call first!

Yes, yes, and yes. Took my toddlers here for their 1st pair of shoes and the sales woman was incredible. She knew how to handle young fussy children and was spot on in terms of shoe selection for them. They have a variety of brands, including Stride Rite, but we ultimately went with a brand that worked best for their specific feet (See Kai Run).The hours are not the most accurate so definitely be patient with that.

i came in asking for the cheapest pair of flip flops- i wanted to take my heels off after a date. the woman who helped me was kind enough to dig though the women’s and children’s section, she also went in the back as well.she returned with 2 good options at a great price, i picked a 1/2 size too small and realized it after purchasing. she had no problem exchanging the pair i bought for the pair that fit properly.i was in/out within 10 minutes, i paid a fair price, and the customer service was outstanding. thank you so much!!
