About Us

Family owned and operated for four generations.

Becker Shoes stands as a long-running Canadian shoe retailer, proudly family-owned and operated. In 1933, Clarence Becker opened the first Becker Shoes store in Hanover, Ontario. Taking the time to get to know each customer and their family personally helped make his business a success and a cornerstone of the community.

 

Clarence‘s son, Earl, continued the tradition of personal service and selection, expanding the business with a second store in Collingwood, Ontario. The growth continued throughout the nineties and into the new millennium when grandson, Doug Becker, took over the family business. Now the business has expanded to sixteen locations and continues to be operated by the Becker family, as Doug‘s son, Bradley, has stepped into the business.

 

The shoe business has come a long way in the last 90 years, but Becker Shoes still honours its origins by providing customer service and personalized shoe fitting.
Becker Shoes offers the latest and favoured in footwear fashion from brands such as Birkenstock, Blundstone, Clarks, Merrell, New Balance,Bogs and more. With over one hundred brands, Becker Shoes is sure to have something for everyone.

 

In every Becker Shoes store, you will find knowledgeable staff who are trained as shoe-fit specialists and are dedicated to offering you personal service. Becker Shoes’ commitment to our customers ensures that you find the right footwear, wherever your feet take you.

Professional fitting service.

Unlike big box stores, Becker Shoes is one of the few footwear retailers that still offers custom, professional shoe-fitting service. Certified Fit Specialists are trained in foot measuring and assessment to recommend the ideal footwear for you.

 

Becker Shoes carries a wide selection of men’s, women’s, and children’s footwear, with an extensive range of widths, sizes, and styles—including men’s up to size 15 and women’s up to size 12. From casual shoes, dress shoes, sandals, boots, and athletic footwear, Becker Shoes has options for every lifestyle.

 

The collection includes leading brands such as Blundstone, Birkenstock, New Balance, HOKA, On, Saucony, Brooks, Clarks, Florsheim, UGG, Rieker, and Remonte.

 

At the Barrie, Huntsville, Orillia, Belleville, Sudbury, and Owen Sound locations, Becker Shoes features the Aetrex Albert 2 Pro Scanner. This advanced 3D foot scanner analyzes pressure points, arch shape, length, and width while standing and walking to recommend your ideal fit—ensuring maximum comfort and support.
