    Olive green Salomon's  "coming back for these"

    Came in today for a exchange & Jorge helped us out & was super warm welcoming & kind bless your heart Jorge for making my day, we need more humans like you!!

    Beautiful decor the place I've been renovated and very inviting inside. Great selection.

    They have amazing shoes here in the whole staff is amazing. You treated me like a queen I recommend this spot parking can be hard but once you find parking, it is worth it. Everyone there is very friendly and very courteous and very patient.

    We were walking in the area and decided to see what shoes they were selling. Inside looks high end and very organized. Easy to navigate and shoes are shown by brand. Prices are pretty good and not like other places where the resell is high. Staff are super friendly and knowledgeable.

    My partner was visiting SF for the first time in over a decade and gave me a list of places he wanted to check out...and Nice Kicks was one of them! This shop is so sleek and had such a great design. All of the staff were incredibly friendly and helpful. They did showcase a variety of didn't shoes and also had some cool apparel on sale as well (I missed getting anything in my size from the Converse x Keith Haring collab so it was nice to grab a shirt in!). It was such a pleasant experience! If you're a sneaker fan, this spot is definitely worth a stop in!

    Giving it 4 stars because my girl and I actually like the manager Kevin. Real chill and respectful dude. This one is actually funny because another reviewer mentioned how no one spoke to them. Well, my girl and I get swarmed like bees to two honey jars when we walk in. I work for Apple so while I appreciate the communication and customer service, it can make for quite an unpleasant visit when a sales rep is showing you shoe after shoe after shoe that you have no interest in. I get it....kinda because I never worked a commission based job before, but you're almost guaranteed a sale if you allow a customer some actual room to breathe and think. My girl and I are the kind of people that could walk in that store and drop $500 a piece like it's nothing, or we can try on every shoe in the joint and STILL walk out empty handed by choice. Pretty plain and simple. Also, if you're gonna sale me a shoe, be genuine and passionate about it. If you wouldn't buy it, what makes you think I will? Ask your customers questions like where are they from. Different regions got different tastes in shoes. I'm from DC...all we wear are foamposites, Nike boots, and new balance. Showing me a pair of vans or adidas anything is a waste of my time AND yours. This is called "probing." Again, love the communication with the service. I really do. But the hovering on shoulders like a vulture sales tactic is hit or miss...and in most cases a miss.

    Nice spot with a great selection of sneakers (Jordans, Nikes, Adidas, etc) but nothing much else in terms of shoe selection unlike the old shoe store that used to be here, Shoe Biz. Looking for heels or boots? You're not going to find it here.

    It's a beautiful store with mediocre shoes, low stock, and a staff that is too stoned to understand what you are asking for.

    The guy that helped us was a total dick. Doesn't seem to be interested in making a sale or being a courteous person.

    They try to refuse timely returns without posting all sales final, which is against California law.

    Is the Valencia street location closed for remodeling? Did the shoes relocate to another address?

From funky, modern cookbooks to cute stuffed animals, purses, youthful and quirky women's clothes, beautiful silk scarves, and feminine jewelry (including real gold earrings!), to lots of fun cards for any occasion (including Jewish holidays, which is important to me!), socks with funny sayings on them, hipster aprons, soaps, candles, fun tchotchkes of all sorts, there's a LOT to delight in inside this wonderful store! I would call it WHEELCHAIR-ACCESSIBLE, because the entry is definitely accessible, and if anything isn't, the employees go out of their way to move things and make it accessible! Their attitudes in general are very friendly and helpful, as is that of the owner (it's a woman-owned store!). Therapy doesn't close until 7:30 pm, which gives you plenty of time to run in for a birthday card and gift after you leave work and are on your way to a friend's birthday party! Overall, Therapy is a fun, quirky, happy-feeling store, and I love that it's managed to survive the last few decades on Valencia St.!

    I loved visiting the Baggu store!…read more The layout is bright, fun, and full of colorful, practical items that make it hard to leave empty-handed. The staff is friendly and the variety of bags and accessories is always exciting to browse through. I ended up getting the Black Medium Cargo Crossbody. It can fit a water bottle, my sunglass case, phone, wallet, keys, and more! It's a really good size and I was impressed at how much can fit in it. I also like that it was made our of recycled material. It was around $56, so the price point isn't that bad esp cause I know the quality is good. My only small complaint is that there aren't enough mirrors in the store--it can be tricky to see how a bag looks when you're wearing it. A few more mirrors would make the shopping experience even better. Still, a great store and I'll definitely be back!

I also adore their baby reusables, which are perfect for takeout food. I own several packing cubes and dopp kits--one for skincare and the other for makeup. While Baggu bags are on the pricier side, they're definitely worth it and last a long time. I'd say the prices are comparable to Cath Kidston, Vera Bradley, LeSportsac, and Kipling, but Baggu offers better designs at possibly a lower cost. I recently visited the store for my birthday, which was exciting since I've always purchased online through Facebook, Mercari, Depop, and Poshmark. I'm thrilled with my purchase! The staff were very helpful in applying my 10% off coupon for first-time email subscribers, and they assisted me in selecting the perfect placement for my bag--a detail I really appreciated. If you love Baggu, I highly recommend visiting their store, but be prepared--it's surprisingly small!
