Hayes Family Shoe Store

About Us

At Hayes Family Shoe Store, we’ve been part of the Cuba, Missouri community since 1950, providing quality footwear and dependable service to generations of locals and Route 66 travelers. Located on historic Smith Street, our store continues a long tradition of small-town retail rooted in personal service and a wide selection of shoes for work, comfort, and everyday life.

Inside, you’ll also find a unique piece of American history—an original pair of shoes worn by Robert Wadlow, the tallest man in recorded history. These size 37AA shoes are preserved in a display case, offering visitors a rare and memorable glimpse into the past.

Whether you’re stopping in for a new pair of shoes or just to see something truly unique, we’re proud to offer both quality products and a connection to the history that makes Cuba special.
