Ken's Shoes - South Pasadena, California

Amy Kim

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.

Small store, but with more shoes than a big one. Tons of shoes piled sky high and really interesting stock. Really, unique shoes finds, especially when it comes to converse and vans designs. Got leather converse, my brother got grey vans with palm tree designs, and my mother got jogging shoes. Lady there is nice and knows her stuff. Plua, there are clean socks she washes for you to try shoes on just in case.

Like Ollivander’s wand shop for kids shoes! This place is incredible! Bring your babies and kids in and they measure their feet and take a look to see what shoes will fit them best. My baby has a high instep and was measuring 2 sizes bigger than what we had him in originally. I can’t imagine how uncomfortable it must have been! So glad we came in

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!

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!!

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.
