Our Story

Kearney Shoes has been part of Australian families for over 50 years. Founded in the 1970s by Bob and Rita Kearney, what began as a passion for quality footwear has grown into a trusted, multi-generational business — now run by the second generation, with the third generation proudly involved.

A Family Business, Through and Through

As a proudly Australian-owned and operated business, we bring decades of hands-on experience to every customer interaction. We're not a chain or a franchise — we're a family who genuinely loves footwear and takes the time to get the fit right.

Our Stores

You'll find us at two locations across Melbourne's east:

• Eastland — our new home.
• Chirnside Park — serving the Yarra Valley and surrounding communities.

Both stores are staffed by knowledgeable team members who understand that the right shoe isn't just about style — it's about fit, comfort, and longevity.

Brands We Trust

We carefully curate our range to offer footwear that stands the test of time. Our collection includes trusted names such as Clarks & Harrison (at Chirnside Park) Cabello, Rieker, Josef Seibel and Sala — brands chosen for their quality, craftsmanship, comfort and wearability.

Why Kearney Shoes?

• 50+ years of footwear expertise across three generations
• Personalised fitting advice from people who know shoes
• A curated range of quality, trusted brands
• Two Melbourne stores, plus convenient online shopping

Whether you're shopping online or visiting us in store, you're in good hands. We look forward to helping you find your perfect pair.
