Shoe & Clothing Retailers

Specialty Insurance for Shoe and Clothing Retailers

Feet come in all shapes and sizes. So do shoes. And so do shoe stores and retailers. The fact is, your insurance program should fit you as well as your shoes fit your customers. Not every insurance agency or company can provide that custom fit. We can.

Don't just take our word for it, see what our clients have to say.

We work closely with the insurance companies to make sure the right range of insurance coverage options are available to our shoe retailer clients. It's what we do. In fact, specialty insurance is all we do.

Talk to us or contact us for a custom proposal today.

Depending on the size and complexity of your shoe store, we may be able to customize a package policy called a business owner's insurance policy, often called a BOP. If you have a large store or multi-store operations, we may still be able to package your insurance. If need be, we can assemble a highly customized insurance program for your retail shoe business by choosing the right deductibles, insurance limits and options from available coverages like these:

  • Property insurance
  • Liability insurance
  • Computer equipment
  • Loss of income coverage
  • Crime insurance
  • Cyber liability coverage
  • Ordinance or law coverage
  • Employee benefits insurance
  • Business auto insurance
  • Flood insurance
  • Workers compensation insurance
  • Liquor liability coverage
  • Commercial umbrella insurance
  • Loss Control Assistance Available

Pedorthic Liability

If you are or have a Certified Pedorthist on staff you need to be sure to check your insurance policy for pedorthic liability coverage. If your policy is not specifically endorsed to include this exposure it is not covered. Most policies EXCLUDE any kind of professional liability exposure. With the certification there are certain expectations about your skills and professionalism and you can be sued if someone claims they were injured because of a shoe or insert you provided them.

What our shoe retailer insurance program clients say about us...

"We have been using Hobson Insurance since 2012 and could not be happier. Managing your business insurance and trying to find fair prices and coverages can be overwhelming, to say the least. Since we have been using Hobson Insurance Kristy and her team have taken so much burden and unknown off of our plate. We feel that we have excellent coverage and pricing year after year. The fact that Hobson prices out plans each year at renewal, and often reduces our rate or keeps are rate from an increase is very comforting, given how operational costs have grown drastically. Aside from the pricing and coverage that is offered, their service is second to none. Any time there is a need, such as a certificate of insurance, help on processing a claim, etc, Hobson's team is there with immediate communication and help you through the process, and make it very seamless and comfortable. Insurance is such a significant part of the business operation, and to have experts that you can trust like Hobson, makes it one less thing to focus on, so we can focus on our retail stores each day."
-Mike Morey, NBO Shoes & Big River Running Company
St. Louis, MO

"I try to buy as much as possible from local business people, but my local Independent agent couldn't come close to Hobson's price for my business owner's insurance. In addition Hobson has done a very good job of explaining what I do have, and going over my coverage on each renewal. Very polite and friendly people too."
-Patrick Feehan, J. Patrick's
Columbus, NE

"They are the best insurance company! They have saved us a ton of money for the same coverage. Highly recommend. "
-Sue Friedman, Friedman's Department Store
Minneapolis, MN

"I have been work with Kristy Longfellow-Hodik at Hobson Insurance and received a quote today @ a 48.5% reduction AND better coverage. Our new insurance company is rated A+ and some of our coverage is double what we had This is about a $5,000 annual savings for us; which is major during these times when we are constantly looking for ways to save!"
-Becky Grigg, Trippet Shoes, Inc.
Tulsa, OK

"I joined Hobson Insurance back in the early 2000's because their rates were so much better than I could get locally. They have been easy to deal with and very accommodating for nearly 20 years. Great people to work with."
-Juanita McCrum, Ron and Nita's
Sidney, OH

"We have been using Hobson Insurance for our business for over three years and are delighted with their service and their extremely low rates. The first year alone we saved over $800. We highly recommend all NSRA members to get a quote from Hobson. I am certain everyone will be extremely impressed with the value and service they will achieve."
-Leonard Comeras, Easton Shoes
Columbus, OH

"Hobson Insurance has been immediately responsive to our needs whenever we needed them to. They insure our entire shoe business (which consists of multiple locations) as well as another business we own and the buildings we own. Unfortunately, we had some claims (one was a fire and one was a flood), but Hobson immediately sprung into action and assisted us. They demonstrate knowledge of the quick and easy processes that eliminate wasted time on our parts as well as make sure we do not overspend for coverage we do not need."
-Alan Miklofsky, Alan's Shoe House
Tucson, AZ

"Hi! This is Mike Jackson from Vogel's and Foster's in Chelsea Michigan. I own a clothing store and am a client of Hobson insurance. They have been really good to work with. For me personally, it was not an easy decision to switch insurance because I have a close family friend in the industry. I met Kristy at a buying show and she asked me to send her my policy information. I provided all the information and when they sent the bid I was shocked. It was much less than what I had been paying. My current agent advised me he could not match it and recommended I move to Hobson Insurance. Not only did I save money, but they review my coverages every year. I have since added an employment practices liability policy which brought peace of mind. The people at Hobson Insurance are great people. I have gotten to know them personally and they actually appreciate my sense of humor. More importantly, they have taken the worry out of that part of my business. I know I am getting the best insurance plan at the most reasonable price and I am better protected than I was. I have also gained more knowledge about my coverage and now I don't have to worry about it. It's done! My experience with all the people at Hobson Insurance has been great. I would highly recommend you have Hobson Insurance look at your current plan."
-Mike Jackson, Vogel's & Foster's
Chelsea, MI

"Hobson Insurance has some of the best rates in the industry. I have my commercial and worker's compensation insurance with them and the service they provide to me is Triple AAA."
-Roger Brooks, Brooks Shoes For Kids

"Hobson Insurance is the genuine deal. They cut our insurance expense without any loss of coverage and they have provided us with tremendously quick and friendly service."
-Jon Gimre, Gimre's Shoes and New Balance Portland

"I am very impressed with Hobson Insurance! Besides their caring attitude and friendly customer service, you will marvel at their uncanny ability to find you the best policies at the lowest rates with obvious bottom-line savings. They understand that successful business owners don't have time for anything less."
-Scott Sproull, Hide and Sole
Missoula, MT

"Ladies, I want to thank you for the great service that you and your firm provided over the last several years. As a person who served as a corporate risk management executive with some very large firms over a 25 year career, I can attest to the fact that your firm is far more attentive to clients' needs than any of the big New York-based firms. You should be proud of what you do. If you need an experienced (in risk management) 63 year old guy with a golden retriever sidekick, just let me know. I'd love to live in the clean air of Montana."
-Kevin Christel, Foot Solutions
Indianapolis, IN

"Saved us a ton of money on property and workers's compensation!"
-Steve Whiteside, Whitesides Boots & Clothing
Brighton, CO

"Just wanted to let you know how great it has been dealing with Hobson Insurance. When I first joined NW Buyers some years ago, I had the opportunity to explore some new resources for our business which is now over 70 years old. One of those resources was Hobson Insurance. We immediately had you review our policies,which you did promptly and professionally. Upon that review, you were able to save us a substantial amount of money as well as being most accessible should we have any concerns or questions. We had not reviewed our insurance for many years and this was a mistake. We have since reviewed our policies yearly with Hobson and you have always gone all out to get us the most appropriate policies at the fairest price for our business. I just wanted to write you a note of thank you."
-Chuck Brown, Big Men/Stout Men's
Framingham, MA
