Tip Top Kids is the children's shoe destination of the Upper West Side, operating as a dedicated storefront steps away from its adult counterpart, Tip Top Shoes, on West 72nd Street. Family-owned and operated since 1940, this neighborhood institution has outfitted generations of New York City children with expert care and one-on-one fitting service.
Unlike big-box shoe retailers, Tip Top Kids is one of the few true "fitting" stores left in New York City — staff are trained to properly measure children's feet and recommend the right size and width, the old-fashioned way. The store carries popular children's brands including Vans, Birkenstock, Naturino, Nike, and Skechers, alongside over 100 brands storewide with hard-to-find sizes and widths available.
Tip Top Kids serves infants through tweens and is open seven days a week. Online orders ship nationwide, with free shipping on orders over $98, and same-day local Manhattan delivery is available for orders placed by 1 PM. In-store pickup is typically ready within two hours.
