George Roderer Sr. opened the doors to Dayton’s first Roderer Shoe Center, laying the foundation for over a century of craftsmanship, care, and community.
Serving Dayton for over 100 years, our modern storefront welcomes customers with the same dedication to fit, comfort, and personalized service that started it all.
Roderer Shoe Center has been a trusted name in Dayton footwear for over a century. Our story begins with George Roderer Sr., who immigrated from the foothills of the Alps in Germany and turned his shoemaking skills into a thriving Dayton business. Over five generations, the Roderer family has continued this passion for shoes, combining craftsmanship with a personal touch that keeps our customers coming back. Know that when you shop with us, you’re supporting a locally owned, family-run business and helping us continue our century-long passion for quality footwear.
At Roderer Shoe Center, "the shoe is only as good as the fit". You can buy shoes anywhere, but when you shop with us, you can expect more than brand selection. With us, you get expertise, experience, and genuine care. Our pedorthically trained staff ensure every pair fits perfectly, whether your feet are narrow, wide, or anywhere in between. We aim to help every customer, whether you need relief from foot pain, guidance on your gait, or simply a comfortable, stylish shoe for everyday life.
The shoes you wear affect your comfort, health, and daily life. That’s why we focus on finding shoes that fit your unique feet while supporting your lifestyle. From walking, running, and work shoes to children’s first walkers, every pair we provide is designed for comfort, support, and style.
Our secret to success is simple: old-school values, personalized service, and a love for what we do. Every customer receives a sit-and-fit experience, guided by knowledgeable staff who take the time to match shoes to your feet. We focus on quality brands, trusted over generations, including New Balance, Hoka, Stride Rite, Birkenstock, and more.
Today, Chris and Emily Roderer carry on the family tradition at Roderer Shoe Center, serving the Dayton community with the same care and dedication that has defined our family business for over 100 years. We take pride in helping every customer find shoes that truly fit, and we look forward to serving our community for generations to come.

Customer Testimonial ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
"I've ordered from them online only but the experience was great. The shoes I needed were sold out everywhere, even the manufacturer website, but Roderer's had them in stock online. I received them in less than a week, and even got an email from the store welcoming me to the "family." Just ordered another pair because they have all styles from this brand. I found this website by accident and I'm glad I did!"

"I just tried their new online ordering option with store pick up and it was seamless. The website was very easy to navigate on my Mac and iPhone. Ordering online was a breeze while offering a number of convenient options for payment, retrieval, and even, by appointment fitting of the shoes. Pick up at the store was quick and smooth. Within an hour I was able to select, order, and pick-up my daughter's new shoes. Basically, my experience met all the standards that I've come to expect from Roderer Shoe Center."
