About Us

Stepora was born 26 years ago in the heart of Melbourne, driven by a love for quality footwear and a dream to create something truly special. From the very beginning, we set out to offer more than just shoes—we wanted to build a community, a place where every customer felt valued, every step mattered, and every pair of shoes told a story.

For over two decades, we poured our hearts into this boutique, handpicking every collection with care and ensuring that every visit felt like home. We’ve had the privilege of serving generations of customers, seeing familiar faces return time and time again. Your support has been the backbone of Stepora, and we are deeply grateful for every moment you’ve shared with us.

But as the world has changed, so have the challenges of running a small business. Competing against corporate giants with endless resources has become an uphill battle, one that has made it increasingly difficult to continue. And while our passion remains, we’ve come to realize that it’s time for a new chapter.

More importantly, life has given us another gift—our grandchildren. Becoming grandparents has reminded us of what truly matters: time with loved ones, moments we don’t want to miss. So, with full hearts and gratitude, we’ve made the bittersweet decision to close our doors.

Stepora may be coming to an end, but the memories, the friendships, and the community we built will always remain. Thank you for being part of our journey—we couldn’t have done it without you.

With love and gratitude,
Emma & Liam Carter
