The Shoe Company is a Canadian shoe and apparel store, originating from the Greater Toronto Area. They currently operate 65 stores from Victoria, British Columbia to St. John's, Newfoundland and Labrador. Leonard Simpson is the founder of Town Shoes and had predicted a growth opportunity for footwear to be sold in a big box format. He then created The Shoe Company and has also purchased the Western Canada-based Shoe Warehouse in 2012, formally owned by Sterling Shoes LP.

Since 1994, The Shoe Company has been the leading brand name for The Shoe Company conglomerate Town Shoes.
