Haase's Shoe Store

What a fantastic "mom & pop" shoe store. I recently needed a new pair of shoes for my 9-year old, who is very hard to fit. Living in the Lakeview area, I'm not sure how my wife stumbled onto Haase's Shoe Store, but I'm glad she did, as this is definitely our new go-to spot for kid's shoes. Located on Oak street just off of S. Carrollton, the exterior façade looks like it was taken right out of the 1960's; and I like that a lot. Founded in 1921 as Haase's Shoe Store and Young Folks Shop, they have 100 years of experience, and it shows. As I walked towards the store, I was immediately reminded of a Norman Rockwell painting, but I digress.Upon walking in, I was very courteously greeted by Mr. Kevin Caliva who, after asking what he could help us with, measured my sons feet and showed us what he had in stock. He was the consummate professional (no AL Bundy here) and treated us like we were the only people in the store, which we definitely were not. They had an incredible selection of kids' shoes. Not only did they have a large selection of tennis shoes, but they also carried boots, first walkers, casual shoes, infant crib shoes, loafers, moccasins, Oxfords, rain boots, slipper, sandals, lots of Velcro shoes up to size 5 and a huge assortment of kids school shoes. In fact, their section of solid black sneakers for school use was the most diverse I've ever seen in ANY shoe store. Haase's also sells clothing, some school uniforms, accessories and does monogramming. They even sell gift cards, which I think would be a big hit, as this store is phenomenal. We left the store with a brand new pair of Asics for my son. Kevin took my contact information, as we wanted another pair of shoes that he didn't currently have in stock. However, we are going to gladly wait for a new shipment, as this is now our go-to store shoe store for our son! I can't recommend this place enough!

Love Haase's so much! Damn friendly local store. They have the best and most selections. Super friendly and always a good experience when we go. Highly recommend!

I was looking for a winter boot for my 6 month old little boy and someone recommended this place. I had the issue of sizing because my little one has quite a chubby foot so it's really hard to get his size shoes. There is off-street parking which is very difficult to find " sigh". Anyway, upon entering the store I was immediately greeted by 2 ladies that work there and met Mr Haase himself. ( such a nice man) . They were so helpful and got his sizing right. Such lovely people!! I got him his first pair of winter boots and it fits him perfectly!! It's such a good quality little bootie. I looked around the store and saw that they had quite a variety of kids shoes ( even little cow boy booties) and matching adult shoes ( think boots with fringe) There is a part of the store that does monogramming which is really nice for that " special" gift for someone. I think I might go back and get some stuff done. If you're lookin for a great shopping experience with great quality products, you should check this place out - you won't be disappointed!

Finally got to make a trip here while waiting for prescriptions from Castellon's. I'm glad I did! I'm looking for christening clothing for a little fella and I was really pleased to see that they had a very nice selection of longalls, shortalls, bubbles and gowns. Even better - lots of traditional shoes. We didn't make a purchase today but I'm so grateful for the customer service. The owner is making calls on my behalf for a special order. We'll definitely be back!

Great Store, wonderful, helpful, great selection for men and women.Some of the nicest people you will ever meet

Incomparable customer service and great selection of children's shoes and gifts.

A great uptown option to heading out to the mall. Nice selection of kids shoes and clothing of a lot of Southern classics. My little one fell in love with a blue blazer here and it's become his signature look. Really! Customer service is good and helpful.

This is a very nice store to buy a gift in. It offers free gift wrapping, excellent customer service, and a product line that surpassed most others.

Buying my granddaughter her first shoes at Haase's was an absolute pleasure!! She smiled the entire time and the shoes are great!

How can you not give Haase anything but five stars and tremendous kudos ! An old fashioned shoe store especially great for kids. They measure feet and bring out various choices and styles. The sales people are patient, especially great with trying to find shoes for little ones. And, no pressure here, if you don't buy then you get a thank you. Also, they will check when orders come in to let you know when a style you like is arriving and will hold a size for you. I got shoes from Haase when I was a kid and still take my grandkids there.
