Takken's Shoes specializes in comfort shoes and footwear for the whole family. We are one of the largest independent Ugg Australia retailers in the United States with 24 locations throughout California. As a family owned and operated business we are dedicated to providing quality service and products, and actively contributing to our communities.
In 1937, Harry Takken opened a small shoe repair shop in downtown San Luis Obispo. His attention to detail, quick wit and personal interest in his customer's welfare made his business a success and a cornerstone of the community. His son Robert continued the tradition of personal service, and added a retail element to the store. The demand for more stores began in 1987 and has continued throughout the 90's and into the new millennium. The corporation is still run by Robert with the help of two of his sons.
The Takken’s Shoes locations of today may look like they have changed a lot from the original repair shop of 1937, but some things will always be the same. Whether a store specializes in Clarks of England and Dansko clogs, or offers up DC skate shoes and Converse Chuck Taylors, in every Takken’s Shoes you will find knowledgeable staff dedicated to making your experience with us exceptional.
The success of Takken’s Shoes would not be possible without the lasting relationships we have built with our customers and communities. From our family to yours, thank you for your support.
"I was in your Fairfield store last week for the first time and had the most pleasant shopping experience. The clerk managed to help 4 different customers and cater to each person's needs. As I tried on what was probably my 12th pair of shoes, she continued to explain the different features of each pair. She never once rolled her eyes or seemed bothered that I was making her work. Because of her help, patience, and knowledge I will continue to shop at your store."
"The customer service was excellent! They answered all my questions."
"Your service is the best I've experienced in a long time, I will def order from you again. When I had a question I received a prompt, well explained answer and when I needed to return due to size, I received great service! Thank you for your awesome CS!"
"I was so happy with the service. The shoes came much quicker than I expected! I ordered from your online site because I had such a great experience in person at your store in Bakersfield."
"She was very helpful. They did not have my size in the shoe I was looking for but she called up and ordered the shoes for me. I will be receiving them at my house at no extra charge. I was very satisfied. This was my first time there and it won't be my last."
"My experience with you was perfect. I'm from a small PA town and have never heard of Takkens- so it was a bit of a risk to order UGGS from you. I have never had a more perfect transaction. AND, two days later the boots were on my doorstep- with shipping free. Noone could offer what you have offered- best price, fast and free shipping- I'm getting ready to order my 2nd pair of UGGS. You have earned my confidence- and, as my friends will tell you, I'm a fussy customer! :) Many thanks!"
"My first online shopping experience with Takkens was fantastic!"
"Great customer service. Some of the nicest people I've ever met in retail."
"I wanted to purchase a type of shoe I had not worn before. She helped me select a pair,and recommended an insole to help with a foot problem I had. I was extremly satisfied."
" Your customer service person was absolutely wonderful. She seemed eager to serve me and loved having me call from out of state. I had almost given up on having my new Ugg boots. Thanks so much."
"This was a great experience. The items were in stock and shipped quickly!"
"Sarah was an excellent sales associate. She really knew her stuff. I have foot problems and she really knew how to help me with them."
"I was more than pleased with my shopping experience. This was the first time I have ordered from your company. I was very impressed with the selection of products, shipping options, and speed of delivery. I will not only order from you again, but will refer Takken's to friends and family. Great job!"
"The Sales Associates were very friendly and informative about the products and the sales that were going on at the time of the visit."
"It was awesome service. It was so wonderful to call and speak with someone when I had questions about sizes when I was placing my order. Shoes arrived promptly. When I found out one pair was defective, I called back. She checked to make sure you had more in stock, then promptly sent me a Fedex label to return my pair and immediately shipped out a replacement which arrived yesterday. "
"It was an excellent experience. The shoes and boxes were in perfect condition, and just what I wanted at the price I needed!"
"The sales associate that helped me and my friend was so very helpful & knowledgeable. He went out of his way to make us feel comfortable in your store."
"The service was professional and the sales clerk was knowledgeable."
"I phoned the Thousand Oaks store and ordered two pairs of shoes at the time of that phone call. The service was excellent and the shoes were ordered and shipped to me in 10 days. I did not actually visit the store but I have made purchases there in the past."
"Thank you for such GREAT service. I am sorry I didn't like these shoes, but you have been so good I am keeping you on my list of sites and will order again from you. Thank You."
"Thank you very much for your help. I am very impressed with your store and am glad I found it on the internet."
"The saleswoman appeared to be working solo during my visit but she was able to handle multiple customers with ease. I came in to the store to purchase shoes with a lower heel. Evelyn was able to give me information and helped me select the perfect shoe to fit my style & function. She also was very knowledgeable about the foot scanning machine she used to give me an assessment of my footwear needs. I left your store feeling great about my entire shopping experience, happy to know that great customer service is still alive! I have already spread the word about my experience to my friends and family, & they said they will be visiting the store in the future as well."
"I am new to the Pleasanton and came in to make a purchase. Nauzlee made a very positive impression on me and I will continue to shop at this store because she was so knowledgeable, friendly and sincere."
"I recently ordered a pair of shoes online from your company. I just want to let you know how pleased I was with your service and especially with the help I got from Missy in customer service. This was a rush order because of a mistake another company had made in shipping and Missy couldn't have been more helpful in making sure I got my shoes on time. I will definitely order from your company again and let others know about the positive experience I had with Takkens shoes."
