History

National Workwear has a long history with humble beginnings. It began in the 1940’s as a shoe repair shop. So, naturally it led to selling shoes too. At first, it was selling shoes out of a corner of the store. Eventually, it became a western wear store, and this was followed up with the purchase of a family shoe store. The focus then was to become the largest retailer in the area for work shoes by offering the biggest selection of brands, styles and sizes.

Over the next few years National Workwear expanded its product offerings and services. Various workwear were added along with outerwear, uniforms and accessories. To go with the apparel, embroidery services were also added. In the 1990’s our mobile shoe service began, and it became an immediate hit. Then, to reach more customers, more store locations were opened, and in 1998, our website was launched.

Looking back, National Workwear has undergone many changes. And more will come as National Workwear continues to offer the latest products and to improve our services.

One thing that you can count on not changing, however, is our commitment to helping customers like you.
