They say you can tell a lot about a man by walking a mile in his shoes, but if the shoes came from Colonial Shoe Store,you just may not want to take them off.With 3 generations involved in the business of the perfect fit, this family business knows a thing or two about shoes. It all started when owner's grandfather came to the US from Greece, and started a shoe repair business in the lobby of the Colonial Hotel. Steve, introduced fine men's shoes to the repair business, and the family has been selling shoes ever since.The hallmark of a Colonial Shoe Store experience is a throw back to an era when the attention to quality, fit and customer service would make or break a business. In a business segment dominated by "Mega Retailers" we invite you to experience - just once - the luxury of an old world shoe purchase experience. Colonial started all those decades ago with what they thought was the best made highest quality shoes on the market - Allen Edmonds. It comes as no small surprise that they are on of only a handful of survivors as the industry has been taken over by high production cheap price plants all over the world. Allen Edmonds, still American Made, still among the highest quality shoes in America. In addition to Allen Edmonds, you will see other quality brands like Alden, Johnston and Murphy,Florsheim, Sperry, New Balance, Foot So Port and a select few other brands that still carry the moniker of extraordinary quality in men's shoes. We occupy a small and intimate storefront where in addition to a sampling of the finest men's shoes available today, we also host a full service shoe refurbishing center. You would be challenged to come into our store, and NOT see Steve cleaning shoe polish off his fingers before he greets you in the manner you would expect as a favored customer.
