Arthur Shoe Tree

We often wonder how many little feet walk our hallways wearing new kicks from Arthur Shoe Tree — a Bay Village legend from back when shoe stores knew a thing or two about feet. Family-owned and rooted in care, they’ve never lost sight of who they are, the quality of the shoes they stock, or the attention they give to every person who walks through their doors. Owned by Mrs. Johnson’s nephew, Arthur Shoe Tree continues to be a beautiful reminder of what makes our community so special — connection, care, and heart.
