Your Trusted Family Shoe Store Since 1962
Buzzard's Family Shoes has been serving customers since October 1962, founded by Leo and Mary Jane Buzzard. Our store was built on the principles of personalized service and expert shoe fitting, which we continue to uphold today under the leadership of their sons, Bob and Dave Buzzard. We specialize in special shoe fittings for customers requiring custom insoles, orthopedics, and braces, working closely with referrals from podiatrists, doctors, and chiropractors. Our team maintains detailed records of each customer's shoe fit and comfort, recognizing that feet change over time. We use the Brannock device for precise measurements during every visit, ensuring optimal fit. Our loyal customers benefit from the Buzzard's Nest Club, earning a free pair of shoes after purchasing 12 pairs.We pride ourselves on offering competitive pricing, typically within $5 of big shoe warehouses, while maintaining the highest standards of personalized care. Our extensive selection includes popular brands like New Balance, Dunham, and Olukai, alongside specialized footwear for conditions such as plantar fasciitis and diabetes. With decades of experience, we remain one of the last true shoe stores committed to old-fashioned customer service. Our dedication to quality, expertise, and customer satisfaction has earned us numerous positive reviews across platforms. We invite you to experience the difference that genuine, personalized service makes in finding the perfect footwear.

First time there and very happy! The woman who took care of me was really nice and helped me find a great tennis shoe for work. I loved how they measure your feet to find the right fit for you. I'll be back!

Great store! Excellent customer service. My wife and I went in to buy my 18mo old son new shoes and they were very helpful with sizing him and getting a shoe that fit right. We were first time shoppers and very happy with their selection. So much so that all three of us walked out with new shoes. Will definitely be coming back especially when my son grows out of this pair.
