Blue Sole Shoes

Another 5 star review for this amazing shoe store on 18^th and Chestnut. Small store with men’s shoes only, but women seem to enjoy it here as well, as long as they love looking at shoes.
Blue Sole has many custom-​made shoes which are exclusive to this store (from Spain and Portugal). They have bench made shoes, and hand painted shoes. Service is great as well.

Best place for Men’s shoes in Philly. Can’t believe it took me this long to discover. I was so impressed by the selection — it’s not huge, but everything they have is GREAT. Seriously high quality dress shoes, for those that know he difference — with extremely reasonable prices.
Went in to look at dress shoes, and ended up buying some more casual shoes. Was pleasantly surprised at the selection of casual shoes as well.
Service is as good as it gets. Helpful, friendly — just a very positive experience all the way. Will definitely be back. Anyone who knows dress shoes knows that Philly seriously lacks quality/​value. This place is the solution.

I don’t shop here obviously because I’m a woman but I stop by here when my fiancée comes to look for some nice sneaker shoes. They have a lot of shows that you won’t find in your regular department stores so whatever you purchase from here will give your outfit a nice touch. The owner carries a nice selection of Donald pliner, two thumbs up. The owner is also very nice and helpful, great customer service.

His frail hands grasped mine. His voice shook as he spoke.
«Son, I want you to always remember…
he coughed.
«…chicks dig Ryan Gosling because he wears nice shoes»
and with that, the strange old man died. He wasn’t my grandfather or even anyone related to me, but the disapproving look of the nurse and his daughter let me know that it was time to get out of that room. Rigor mortis must’ve kicked in really fast because I struggled to get my hand free for a good four seconds. I fled the hospital with shame and this new piece of knowledge. I suppose that’s what I get for wandering in and trying to steal his DVD of Limitless while he was asleep.
Anyhow,
I remembered the old man’s words and realized that, if I was going to become more like Ryan Gosling, I’d have to upgrade my shoes (and maybe drive a getaway car). I entered Blue Sole Shoes based on the 5 star Unilocal reviews and I gotta say, I will never buy nice shoes at a department store as long as this establishment exists. It’s a small joint but the quality they carry is top notch. the brands they carry are fancy and I’ve never heard of them. What’s more important, though, is that you will impress women if you buy from this establishment.
I can’t emphasize this enough. Unless you’re part of an elite cadre of men, most ladies know way more about shoe quality than you do. Many of them will judge you for it, whether they admit it or not. It’s awesome if you’re a dude with intimate knowledge of shoe design, but the rest of us would wear New Balances if they weren’t literal vagina repellant.
I got a pair of shoes here for under 150 and I literally cannot stop getting compliments from strangers. I’ve even stopped kicking peoples’ asses because I don’t wanna scuff ‘em.
If you wanna sleep with someone you just met, buy your shoes here. Hell, even if you don’t, they are the nicest people and the greatest shoe store in Philly.

TOP NOTCH !
Steve and his staff treat their customers with excellent service, i.e., their knowledge of shoes and the attire to wear with them. You are treated as a INDIVIDUAL, not another sale, which is RARE !
Spoil …Treat…, Your-Self…to the Blue Sole Experience. Shoes that express your character and that you wear nothing, BUT THE BEST !
I HAVE !

This place is amazing and I always stop by and buy at least one pair everytime I visit Philly (2 or 3 times a year). They always remember me– Steve and the staff are outstanding. Great service, quality and selection. I always get compliments on the shoes I buy here. The shoes are fairly priced for the quality and the sales are good. OK– yop may fine something better in NYC but not at the price. There are few men’s shoe shops of this quality. I travel often and buy my special shoes at two places, a small shop in Paris and Blue Sole!

Steve is the man! The best service and quality! If you are care about your shoes and care about quality. This is the place to go!

I got a FLY pair of boots that I’m positive I won’t see anyone else wearing. Steve had to order them from the vendor and I had to wait a few days, but I think these will last me for years to come. There’s less than a handful of places online that have them. I’m happy I stopped in because I was already on a mission to get something else from somewhere else. Those other boots were on backorder til next month. I’m relieved that I got these instead.
