Uyeda Shoe Store has been a family-owned business for three generations, including the current owner Claire Takashima. With deep roots to our Mo'ili'ili community, Uyeda's remains a reliable resource of comfort footwear for our loyal customers. It all started in 1915 with Claire's grandpa, Saijiro Uyeda, in a small shop on Fort Street.
When my grandfather immigrated, I guess someone told him 'why don't you repair shoes instead of slaving away in the plantation'? So he decided to first open up a shoe repair store, said Takashima. The business took off and in the 1930s it expanded into a shop on North King Street. Claire's father eventually took over the business in the late 1930s and moved it to South King Street.
