Footwear Sales and Service
Our mission—to provide the people of Nelson and area with some of the finest footwear available—has been built on a family history of over 80 years of service and quality.
We know feet and we know shoes.
Why trust your comfort to anything less?
The DeVito family has been in business for over 82 years. Vince’s grandfather emigrated from Italy in 1916. A shoemaker in the old country, he applied his trade in Trail, opening the original DeVito Shoe Repair store in 1926.
Vince’s father, Buddy, carried on the business in the original family location in Trail until 1986. Vince opened the Nelson location of DeVito Shoe Repair in 1980 making Vince the third generation of DeVitos in the shoe business. The original store stood at 347 Baker Street, relocating to 411 Hall Street in September 1995, where the store still exists today.
