About Us

Fischer's Children’s Shoes in Linwood, New Jersey traces its roots back to 1946 when it was founded by Irv Fischer as a small family-owned shoe business serving the South Jersey community. Over the decades it grew into a trusted local institution known for its personalized, sit-and-fit service, specializing in quality children’s footwear tailored to proper foot development. In the 1950s and beyond, Irv’s sons Norman and Martin expanded the business with a store in Margate and eventually concentrated operations in the area. In 1996, Alan Fischer, representing the third generation of the family, opened the Linwood location focused exclusively on children’s shoes, continuing the tradition of expert fittings and community service that has defined the business for more than 75 years.
