At Dow's, We Care about Your Comfort
Ernest Dow opened Dow Shoe Store in 1958. Since then, we have been proudly serving the Gardner community and surrounding region. Generations of families come to Dow’s, and customers travel long distances to our destination store. Mr. Dow and his employees show a strong commitment to quality and fit. Specializing in hard-to-find sizes, we carry a variety of styles in extended sizing and widths for the entire family as well as specialty footwear, such as diabetic, orthotic-friendly, and AFO-adaptable.

Testimonials
Loved the local feel of the store! My son was fitted and helped by Marlene. She was lovely and knowledgeable. Upon leaving we met the owner the sweetest gentleman. He said goodbye and thanked us for shopping local. We will be back!
