Kinney Shoes is a defunct chain of full-service shoe stores. They carried a full line of shoes, dress and casual, for men, women and children. Stores were typically located inside of a shopping mall. Their slogan was "The Great American Shoe Store". The company was acquired by F.W. Woolworth Company in 1963 and was closed in 1998.
In 1974, Kinney founded the Foot Locker sporting goods division, of which the company's one remaining division operates under its own name.
