Built on Passion. Laced with Purpose.
Since 1964, Scioto Shoe Mart has been more than a shoe store — it’s been a family-driven mission to help every customer find the perfect fit. From our hometown roots in Portsmouth to our statewide reach, we’ve been walking alongside Ohioans for generations, one step at a time.
It All Started with a Sole Mission
In 1964, Tom and Dolores Selbee turned their passion for helping people into a full-fledged footwear destination: Scioto Shoe Mart. What started in Portsmouth, Ohio, quickly became the go-to spot for families needing everything from Sunday shoes to steel toes. And nearly six decades later, our commitment to quality and service hasn’t missed a step.
What began as one small-town shoe store has grown into three thriving locations across the state. While the styles may change, our promise hasn’t: exceptional service and an unbeatable selection for every walk of life. From work to weekend, we’ve got shoes for the whole crew — no exceptions.
Family-Owned, Family-Focused
We’re proud to be a family-owned business, and that shows in everything we do. Whether it’s mom’s favorite walking shoes, dad’s steel toes, or the kids’ first sneakers — we’ve got your crew covered. We know shopping for shoes shouldn’t be stressful, so we keep it simple, helpful, and maybe even a little fun.
We Know Feet — And People
The right fit isn’t just about size — it’s about listening. That’s why our team is trained to match you with footwear that works and feels right. Whether you need support, durability, or just something that turns heads, we’re here to help you walk out happy.
Shoes, Style & So Much More
Beyond shoes, we carry top name brands like Oakley, North Face, Hello Mello, Simply Southern, and more. From bags to socks to outerwear, we’re the one-stop shop you didn’t know you needed — and the place you’ll be glad you found.
Honoring our past, evolving for your future.
Retail is always changing — and so are we. From expanding our in-store selection to exploring new ways to serve our customers, we’re committed to growing without losing what makes us, us. At Scioto Shoe Mart, the journey never stops, and we’re glad you’re walking it with us.
The Brands Your Feet Brag About
At Scioto Shoe Mart, we don’t just stock shoes — we stock the good stuff. Think trusted names, comfort-driven tech, and styles that actually last longer than a TikTok trend. Here’s a sneak peek at a few favorites:
And that’s just the start...
From Nike to Timberland, UGG to Red Wing — we carry dozens of top brands across lifestyle, athletic, work, and kids' shoes. No matter what you're walking into, we've got a pair for that.

From Our Community
The Marion, Ohio store has a large selection of shoes for women, men and children. Everyone is so helpful and kind. Lindsey helped me find shoes which I am very satisfied with. She was wonderful. There are many popular brands and styles of shoes, socks, accessories to chose from. I'm happy the store is located near to me too.

Excellent visit ! I have a hard time finding pull on work boots because of high insteps. The staff at the Scioto Shoe Mart took the time to bring out at least 8 different pairs of boots for me to try until they found a boot that fit. Exception service . This store also has a big inventory....you're bound to find a shoe that fits your needs.

Great customer service experience today. Looking for work shoes and was helped by the nicest lady ever. She gave me insight into what was available at the price point I was trying to stay in. Found a very comfortable steel shoe that actually looks great. I would highly recommend going to Scioto Shoe Mart.
