PhilosophyAt (shoo), we believe that supporting the local economy is very important. Small businesses are where innovation is created and born. It is important to support local businesses because "non-chain" stores often have a more vested interest in supporting the communities that they are a part of. We also show our commitment to the community by carrying products that are created by local artists and designers. |

HistoryComing from a background in fashion merchandising, buying, and wholesale, Kate Blake created the shoe boutique that is (shoo). Realizing that there was a big need for different, hard to find, funky footwear, Kate decided to open the first (shoo) in 2005 in Milwaukee's Historic Third Ward. In January of 2007, Kate partnered with her younger brother, Pat Blake, who left the business of stock trading to team up and assist with running the shoe boutique. In 2010, Pat moved to Madison to open a second (shoo) boutique on Madison’s downtown State Street. Each (shoo) location has that family shoe store feel, with cool, hip merchandise that makes it a very unique place to shop. |
