About Us

Old School Supply Co.'s Mission Statement:
We don't just sell shoes. We sell comfort.
Old School Shoes is a locally owned business that has operated in the heart of Downtown Santa Cruz for over 20 years. Old School Supply Co. is the private label of Old School Shoes. We love everything Old School and have created a line of products that includes stickers, enamel pins, socks, shirts, and more. We support local artists and local businesses, and many of the items we retail are designed and created by artists who live right here in Santa Cruz.
Above all else, we value customer service. More than just providing products, we provide an experience; we want our customers to walk out of our store knowing they have a well-fitting, long-lasting pair of shoes that suits their needs, or that they found the perfect gift for their friend, parent, sibling. We want our customers to know they matter to us more than the dollars in their pocket.
