Over the decades, Tom Holub has seen Edmonton transform: two oil booms, major recessions, a vibrant downtown turned empty, and now it's back on the upswing again. Through it all, TomKat Shoes has been there. Originally opened in 1946 by Jakob Wener, the store was a mainstay along Jasper Avenue for 68 years. Tom’s father bought it from Jakob in 1967, keeping the name in place. Tom finally changed that name in 2014, and this beloved store now has a bigger location a few doors down from the original site.

Like the city itself, TomKat Shoes has undergone some changes over the years. “Originally we were a children’s shoe store,” says Tom. “You have to adapt. We dropped children’s shoes in 1980. For a while we only sold comfort shoes and well-fitting shoes. We still are a comfort shoe store, but with technology today you can be much dressier and still have comfortable shoes.”

    I received very poor customer service from the owner. Its too bad, because I have spent a fair amount of money at Katwalk, your sister store. Failure to call me back resulted in my making one purchase online instead of making another trip back to your store. And the rude personal treatment I received ensures I won't go back to either store.

    Located on Jasper Avenue, this shoe store used to be known as Wener Shoes, until the owners moved down the block into a new space and changed their name. The same couple still runs it, meaning you’ll still benefit from their decades of experience selling shoes. They stock sandals from a variety of brands, including Fly London, Bussola, MJUS, Bedstu, Dkode and Bueno. You’ll find everything from gladiator sandals to wedges and platforms here, in a range of fashion-forward colours.

    It’s not just a celebrity nickname for doomed couple Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes – TomKat is also the new name of the shoe store formerly known as Wener Shoes. Owners Tom and Kathy Holub adopted the name when they moved into a new space just down the street from their old digs. The shop still offers a fantastic array of boots that range from office party appropriate to bar star worthy, ensuring you’re ready for your any type of event (and weather).
