So we happen to be in the area where there were a few stores that would have shoes. All the other stores before me were a bust. But. Martens came through! They were the last store to try before getting in the car and going somewhere else. The staff were amazing. Parking is on the local street, or a local garage. The store is small, but there is enough space. The fitting areas/benches are comfortable. The staff were working hard left and right to find a shoe that fits me well, and a size to match. When my friend and I were walking in we were greeted right away. I started picking up shoes left and right to try on. The one male employee who helped me the entire time was amazing. He was actually wearing the no back loafers from Martens. I tried them on and loved them, but ended up not getting there. I want a pair or shoes that were going to go with a lot of my outfits. I was really wanting a pair of boots too. I did end up with a pair of simple black boots with and no visable stitching. I walked around Philly for a few more hours and I was very comfortable.

Rittenhouse may offer high-end labels. Old City may be home to a variety of apparel boutiques. And,…read moreyes, East Passyunk is becoming a fashion destination in its own right. But, Queen Village is the resource for one-of-a-kind "sole" style. Bus Stop Boutique, located on Fabric Row, is a cleanly merchandised space that is oozing with fashionable footwear, nearly impossible to find anywhere else in town. To those of you who have never visited this heel heaven, don't be alarmed if you suddenly feel an unfamiliar utopia upon entering the store. A boutique like this is a rare find in Philadelphia. London-born Elena Brennan opened Bus Stop a few years ago to bring unique designer labels like Irregular Choice, 80%20, and Corso Como to the fashionistas of the City of Brotherly Love. She is very much a part of the shopping experience as she is incredibly helpful when deciding between that funky short boot and the more practical yet oh-so-darling pump. There are so many different styles. Some are bold in color, others are progressive in design. Shoe lovers may have trouble deciding which pair to try on first. You'll fall in love with Elena, and she'll love you right back by offering amazing seasonal deals. She celebrates holidays like Veterans Day and Halloween with 10% off. Plus, Bus Stop Boutique hosts monthly events like BUS STOP + Art where emerging artists take center state at the boutique, and BUS STOP + Etc. featuring local fashion and accessories designers. Give your soles some sass and head to Bus Stop Boutique.

Oh, the cutest! I'll…read moreadmit that I haven't [yet] purchased anything here, mostly because I'm a miser with junky shoes, but if you are a shoe queen, you can't miss this place! It's a small space tucked away in Fabric Row, run by a British woman, who is very kind and sweet and even chic! Talking shoes with this woman made even me feel like my patronage at Aerosoles was equivalent to patronage at Wal-Mart. I felt like a cheap dirtball who never knew you could have a -gasp- pleasant shoe buying experience! The shoes range from boots to flats to heels to avant-garde to earthy casual. They're not all outrageously expensive, but if you wanted to pay a few hundred bucks for shoes here, I'm sure you could. Like I said, I didn't buy anything, but next time I'm in need of a pair of solid shoes, you'll know where to find me!

Most shops will telly you they carry dyeable shoes and they have like 10 pairs. Absurd. On a whim we decided to check out this little place less than a mile from home. Best choice I could have made. They have an entire room of evening and dyeable shoes. They easily had 200 pairs of dyeable shoes ranging from 40-200 dollars (most seemed to be about 60). Everything from super conservative looking shoes to very fun, modern shoes to shoes, short heels to sky high heels, simple to all dazzled up. The staff was super friendly, knowledgeable and helpful. I'm pretty sure it was three generations of a family working there. Always a nice feeling to support a local mom and pop business. I would definitely recommend going here for any special occasion shoes.

I'd give it zero stars if i could…read more Last week, 1/11/13 I purchased a pair of $160 lace Brianna Leigh peep-toe pumps for my wedding in May. I'm from the neighborhood so I popped in the store, saw them and fell in love. It's an adorable shoe, that I thought I'd surely wear down the aisle on my wedding day. However, that weekend while shopping I found a different pair of shoes that match near exact to my dress and had to make a decision. Naturally I decided to return the shoes to South Philly Shoes since the others were such a better match. I looked at the receipt for a return policy before going in. Stamped across the front is "NO CASH REFUNDS". I bought with a charge - no problem! So I went to return the shoe today, 1/16/2013, just 5 days after purchasing. I hadn't even taken them out of the box. Immediately the two women in the store (who where both there when I purchased the shoes) told me there are no cash refunds. I said that was okay, I bought them with a credit card and would gladly take the refund on the charge. Now, I too am a small business owner and know the risks and costs of running a small business. But treating my customers and clients with little to no respect, no flexibility and no understanding is certainly not the way I do business. Needless to say, I support small businesses as much as I can. I shop Passyunk Ave to do my part and contribute and thus, shopped South Philly Shoes in the first place to ensure that if I'm going to spend money anyway, why not support the local/small businesses. The owners/managers/whoever the snide ladies behind the counter are launched into a full on rant about how expensive it is to run the credit card machine, how each time money goes into the register, it goes right out to pay bills, that the recession has hit them very hard and they don't have the money to refund me or anyone and that is the way it has been for 32 years. They insisted that a stamp on the receipt that says "NO CASH REFUNDS" is the same as NO REFUNDS, which it is plainly not. It is, to me, very specifically NO CASH REFUNDS as it clearly is stamped. Unfortunately, these are the risks and costs of running a small business and it is really hard to believe that in 32 years not one person has received a refund from this place as they suggest. It's sad to say that this is why people shop big box and department stores. I won't let this situation leave a bad taste for all small businesses of course, but definitely for this one. I stood there a few minutes to plead my case - it's not the same, it's a charge refund not cash, it's less than a week that I've had them in my possession, I don't need them, nor do i need a store credit because I now have shoes etc. etc. and to no avail. She avoided eye contact, told me that if I wanted to stand there and fight her I could but it wouldn't make a difference, quickly wrote out my store credit, handed it to me and said if I didn't want it, to give it to my mother or someone. I have purchased shoes there last year for my sister-in-law's wedding, 3 of 5 proms and other events and I will not be returning to this store. Each time I find that I could kick myself for going back, the staff is rude and snobby despite the shop being completely run-down and a complete and utter mess. Their bridal selection is vast but has grown cheesy over the years, everything else in the store is as another poster said "tacky". I am disputing the charge with my bank to at least have some support. Ridiculous that a business can conduct itself like this no wonder they are in such poor shape as they say. Go elsewhere, there are tons of great local small businesses and boutiques around the city, this is not one of them.
