About Us

The Bootery in Closter and Ridgewood is Bergen County's premier children's shoe store. We also carry a full line of sneakers and casual items in top brand names for both men and women. We measure, fit and specialize in children's shoes from infants to teenagers and also carry wide widths.Leave the fitting to us and we will help find the perfect shoe with the perfect fit!

A good fit starts with establishing a rapport with our customers. 

“It’s important that parents and children have confidence in us,” says store owner Lisa Katz - and she tries to encourage that by approaching every customer with a smile. The store is warm, bright, and cheerful. We’re happy to see everyone who walks in. Some shoes run wide, others narrow. Some brands fit better on a particular kind of foot. We have to know what’s good for a child who needs support."

” The definition of comfort changes with each person. Some kids like their shoes big and some like them tight. Parents may want shoes that will last for a while or want shoes that fit perfectly right now. It makes a difference knowing what the parent and the child want. We have to analyze the situation and figure it out quickly.”
