About us

When these two little boys moved to Roanoke in 2002, their mom could not find a shoe store that measured and fit children's shoes.  After several frustrating years of driving out of town to shop, Jim and Charlie's mom and dad decided to solve the problem by opening The Cobbler's Wife.  The store would carry a large variety of high quality children's shoes, and they would measure every foot that came through the door to make sure the fit was perfect.  

And for all the moms who bring their children in for shoes, The Cobbler's Wife (that's Susan) makes sure there are lots of super-cute, comfy, stylish shoes for them too!  Brands that women know and love, like Naot, Birkenstock, Earth, Alegria, Sanita, Sofft, Taos, Hush Puppies, Eric Michael, Pelle Moda, Me Too and many others plus handbags and wallets from HOBO International.

Since 2005, Ed and Susan Card, owners of The Cobbler's Wife, and their friendly, knowledgeable and talented staff, strive to provide their customers with a great selection of shoes for all occasions.
