    If you define yourself as a person who values quality over quantity and ethically made shoes, these hand made treasures are worth taking notice. The smell of leather when walking in tantalizes the olfactory senses. I'm on my second pair in a decade. I went to browse the manufacturer outlet room. It's a field trip worth taking. Call ahead to see if they will open for you. It makes it kind of exclusive to shop privately the limited selection of handmade shoes. They feel amazing, and each style might put you in a different size, so browse a size up or down too. My most recent pair has traveled the world with me in comfort and unique style. I didn't buy a pair this trip as they were just a bit over my price point. You can easily save $100+ off of retail, but still drop $200+ here. Seeing the craftsmanship and how the shoes are made are worth the visit. if I had found a belt that worked for me I would have grabbed one for $35.

    Absolutely terrible customer service that yanks you around pretending they'll actually help you. I have several pairs of Cydwoq shoes in size 38, so when I went to have a custom pair of Parthenon clogs made, I naturally chose size 38. To my dismay, however, the footbed of the Parthenon clogs fits an entire size smaller than normal, and my toes literally hang over the edge of the shoe; I refuse to wear them like this. I asked if I could exchange them for a larger footbed or even just get some Cydwoq credit in return, but they've decided to ignore me after requesting photos of my feet in the footbed, which I provided, and then telling me that I wasn't wearing them correctly. I ONLY KNOW ONE WAY TO PUT MY FOOT IN A SHOE, AND I'VE SUCCESSFULLY DONE THAT WITH LITERALLY EVERY SINGLE OTHER PAIR OF SHOES I'VE EVER OWNED IN MY ENTIRE LIFE. They're just poorly fitting shoes, period. From the too narrow toe platform, the strap across the toe being so tight that it makes my foot bulge out in an unattractive way, and the back strap being so loose that it allows the foot to slide too far forward. Really shitty experience with Cydwoq, honestly, and I'm no longer a fan or customer.

    I am a huge fan of Cydwlq shoes. I have had one pair for 16 years. They are like a second skin. I have their boots, shoes and sandals, all from the vintage line. Reading other reviews I want to comment that you just have to change the rubber cover on the bottom when it wears out. There is an option when ordering to add a rubber bottom and you should do this option. I have taken mine to a cobbler and switched as needed for 16 years! It is a real product with a leather sole so it does require a tiny bit of care. They will custom do the width, which is so important for me as I have a aaa foot. The flat shoes are like barefoot walkers and helped strengthen my feet and helped me overcome knee soreness. Some of the shoes do require a break in period, but it is worth every step. Just be prepared to wear around the house and for short outings if needed. Some shoes have not required this. Also, getting your width size correct can take some finagling and sending shoes back if u custom order. For me it is worth it. They are beautiful, and versatile and go with so many outfits. I highly recommend them.

    I hadn't heard of CYDWOQ shoes until I saw a beautiful pair after hours in a window in Soho, NY. I desperately searched for the shoes online and just my luck... they were made in good ol' Los Angeles! Well, Burbank to be exact. CYDWOQ shoes have an old cobblers look to them but they are very modern in their styling. The owner's vision was to make dress shoes that would be extremely comfortable for walking. I was skeptical until I tried on various pairs, immediately feeling the difference in cut and comfort. Now they aren't as soft as Camper's full rubber soles, but CYDWOQ's shoes are leather bottoms or leather bottoms with a layer of rubber soling over the leather. I can tell they take special pride in crafting the arch in a way that will allow you to stand and walk hours in these shoes without pain (no I didn't try the women's heels, sorry). There are a limited number of women's boutiques that carry CYDWOQ's, but there are no retailers in Southern California that carry any of the men's lines, which is why I went to the factory. There is a gorgeous store on the factory premises where you can try on any model, then custom order it in your size (they do not have most models already made in your size). These shoes are 100% made in America. You can look out the window of the store and see people stitching, cutting leather, making soles, fitting insoles. They are not the cheapest shoes, but they have a definite cool factor to them (you'll have extremely comfortable shoes that none of your friends will have). I don't know how to describe them... rock star, meets old european cobbler, meets cowboy. Some have laces, some have a unique buttoning system, others are strappy, and a few have velcro. I ordered myself a pair of the "Watch" models. ***Hint #1*** Store hours are the same as their factory hours, Monday through Friday, 7 a.m. - 4 p.m. If there's no parking, park in the factory parking lot behind the building. When I went the store door was locked. I went to the open factory door in the back and asked one of the workers if the store portion was open. She went and alerted the manager/owner to let me into their shoe playground/store and they let me try on anything and everything. ***Hint #2*** I noticed most of the men's samples sizes were 43.5 euro (size 10), but there's a back room sale section that has some ready made shoes at 50% off and there you can try your exact size. If you custom order your shoes, shipping is $10 and the shoes arrive in about a week (or you could pick them up if you live nearby). ---Follow up--- it took just over two weeks for freshly made shoes to arrive and they fit perfectly, are comfortable and look heavenly!

    Heel meets the road

    Two months in and the rubber sole has already worn out. Now as I understand it I can send it to them and after $120 and a couple of months get the shoe back, or go to the shoe repair shop and pay probably half as much but for a random result.

    What a gorgeous work of art -- such a beautiful red bag! I actually feel emotional about it. It begs to be hugged. #nobodyputsbabyonthefloor

    I've always thought of this place as purely a work shoe location so never come for any other type…read moreof shoe. However, I was in the need of some work shoes, so I stopped by when was quickly reminded upon entering the place that they have all types of shoes, just might be the nicest overall 'brick & mortar' shoe store in the area. The prices are fair, the selection vast, no high-pressure sales people, but they're helpful when needed. The stores paid out well and clean and organized which makes shopping g quick and painless. Also, plenty of parking.

    This place has a large selection of shoes as well as some socks, shirts, hoodies, and hats…read more It's nice inside.. always clean, organized, and well kept. The staff are great and are more than willing to assist you in your search for the perfect pair of shoes. The prices are good and very competitive. They usually have some sort of deal going on if you buy two pairs... mix and match, or get yourself a couple of pairs of your favorite shoes in multiple colors. They have a wide variety of shoes, including sneakers, running shoes, and even Dr Martens. Tip: Be careful when ordering online. I have large feet. Most of the time, they don't carry my size in the store, requiring me to order them online to be shipped. My last order was a little frustrating. I was considering deducting a star due to this experience, but... I am reviewing this location, not their shipping department or their customer service in another state. I had entered a promo code online for 20% ($40) off the total price if you spend "X" amount of dollars. Which, I added additional items to my cart to reach this amount. For some reason, the discount did not apply. I noticed and contacted customer service immediately. I asked if they could honor the discount and gave them the code but was told, with no hesitation or understanding whatsoever that they would not do that. I then proceeded to ask politely if they might be able to issue a gift card for the difference that I would use on my next order. Sounds fair... right? The answer was No! Needless to say, I was disappointed. Overall, it is a good find. I will be returning!!! Enjoy! #jsho
