Care information

Do Kepner Scott Shoes need any special care?

It depends!

Do you like the unique look only natural leather gets after each use or do you prefer the look of a more maintained shoe?

There’s no wrong answer! Many of our customers love the natural leather look more and more after use, but if you want to keep the leather protected for longer that’s great too!

We suggest using Chamberlain's Leather Milk to help protect your shoes! We do recommend testing on a discreet area to make sure it gives the look you’re going for.

Yes, we manufacture and stock children's shoes from infant's size 0 to child's size 3 in whole and half sizes as well as B to EEE widths.

How do you know a shoe is too small?

When sizing your little one there should be 1/4" to 1/2" distance between the longest toe and the inside of their shoe. If your little one's toe is against the front of the inside of the shoe it's time to change sizes. If their shoe is too narrow it would feel tight in the ball or widest part of the foot. When checking width it should be measured at the ball of the foot (just below their toes). You can see our sizing guide here.

About Us

In 1888, at the height of the Industrial Revolution, Orwigsburg, Pennsylvania (pop. 2,000) was beginning to emerge as a footwear manufacturing hub. That same year Kepner Scott Shoe Co. was founded from the former shoe firm of Haeseler, Kepner and Co. by Alexander Scott and W.C. Kepner. By 1913 Orwigsburg was home to eleven shoe manufacturers collectively producing over 1.4 million pairs of children’s shoes annually.
 
 
Following Mr. Kepner’s death in 1913, Miss Elsie Hartman was elected Secretary/Treasurer of Kepner Scott Shoe Co. Elsie eventually purchased Kepner Scott and led the company through two world wars and the Great Depression. In 1961 our Grandfather, Milo H. Zimmerman, sold his interest in A.N. Wolf and Highland Shoe companies in search of a new venture. Milo’s love of children and forty plus years of footwear manufacturing experience was all that was needed for him and three of his sons to purchase Kepner Scott Shoe Co.
 
 
In the 1960’s the children’s shoe market was dominated by stiff uncomfortable welted shoes. Comfort and flexibility were being sacrificed for durability. Milo believed children needed soft, flexible and comfortable shoes. Milo and his son Clair embarked on a mission to design and craft healthier children’s shoes.
 
 
Milo passed away at the age of 86 in 1982. His quest for healthier footwear eventually came to fruition and became our company’s mission. Milo’s son, Clair, assumed the leadership of Kepner Scott until his retirement in 2000. Since then Clair’s son and daughter, representing the 3rd generation of shoemakers, continue the tradition of manufacturing quality children’s shoes. 
 
 
Today, Milo's great granddaughter, Audrey Zimmerman, created her own line of children's footwear called Zimmerman Shoes. She's taken the same ideology behind his brand and created a classic look for modern kids.
    
 
For the past 134 years, more than 10 million pairs of Kepner Scott shoes have been worn by children throughout the world. We are proud to be part of the "Made in America" community, and to provide healthy shoes for children's feet.
