Cute shoe shop in downtown Long Beach! I was looking for a new pair of sandals. One of my favorite pairs of sandals recently saw there last day (the straps gave out and were toast; sadness). So, I thought I'd browse the sandals inside O My Sole. This shoe store sells name brand shoes from all over the world- Germany, Spain, the United Kingdom, etc. They have some super cute shoes!! And they also have a clearance rack, if you are looking for things that are priced down from the original price. As others have mentioned, the service could be improved. They don't really greet you when you come into the store. read more

The service experience was amazing. The store has a cute vibe. The sales person guided me through what would look better for my vacations based on what I had described and she came up with amazing options. Very comfortable shoes, great quality (worth every penny), variety of vibrant colors and great purse options to pair up with. read more

This store carries a good selection of Spanish and Portuguese made shoes, designed for comfort over style trends. Designed with wide toe boxes and padded well, they are great for those with non-traditional foot shape and/or wide feet, and those prone to foot pain or discomfort. I have never had any type of issue with the sales staff and enjoy shopping here regularly. read more

I went into this cute store on 2nd Street one day, after my plantar faciatis was raging all day long at work. I hobbled in and this wonderful store keeper named Wally helped me. I told her my problem and pain level and she showed me very good brands for this problem! She also showed me sale items which is so nice of her! I ended up buying THREE pairs of shoes (one for work, one for every day wear and one fancy modern pair for dancing!) She really went out of her way to help me get into the right shoes. I can't believe the difference they made! I'm pain free at the moment!!!!!! Thank you so much Wally for your expertise and knowledge in different brands! I'm very happy!! Will be back for sure read more

I have purchased at least 9 pairs of shoes from O' My Sole and I was particularly excited to purchase the Ethan Valdes Lido style for the heel height and style in late 2023. It was a disaster. Within the first weekend of owning and wearing the black version, the heel completely disintegrated. I immediately took them back and the staff (I think Wally the manager was the one?) noted that was strange and sent them to their shoe repair to fix it. I received them back fixed. I'm happy with the service and their willingness to fix. I wear the black pair again, same thing happens to the heel (but even worse this time) + the pad starts to move around. I wear the nude ones, the same thing starts to happen. I am confused and disappointed. At first I thought it was me, but I look into my closet at the many (many) pairs of shoes that I own and I have not had this issue before. I take both pairs back to show them. Same reaction - they take the shoes to see what can be done. A month or two go by before I hear back from there - I buy several other pairs of shoes to wear in place (none of the other shoes ended up the way these did, see photos). Once I start hearing back from them to come get the shoes, I am pretty fed up by the waste of time and money, but mostly the disappointment because I really wanted these shoes to work. More months go by (I failed at being prompt with them as there were more major things happening in my life) and when I did go in to discover the shoes were never fixed (and the entire style is on sale for nearly 40-50% off), the manager wasn't there so I had to wait. Finally going back and I have never experienced a more (immediately) hostile and utterly rude person in a customer service role than the experience I had with the manager (Wally) of the 2nd Street lbc store. Within 2 minutes of my arrival and expressing my frustration with these shoes she tells me that it's my fault, that I must walk poorly or roughly, and told me that my timeline was untrue because there is no way these shoes could be damaged this much with a few wears. I bought theses shoes in late October and had them back in to be fixed for the 2nd time by late December - each time, bringing the shoes in immediately after the first wear to show what happened. Wally entered into this dialogue with me with immediate hostility, called me a liar and insulted me, told me to be silent when she was on the phone with corporate, and then told me that I should be thankful that they are giving me ONE new pair of the same, shit shoe to make good on the two pairs that I probably wore a total of 5 times across the two. I would have been thankful for the shoes I bought in the first place to not fall apart immediately (I really wanted to wear them!), I would have been thankful for a store credit, I would have been thankful not to have to eventually "sssshhhhh" Wally as a way to stop the dialogue and the fragrant insults & yelling which included that she was going to call the cops. I think she likely got more frustrated because at some point instead of returning her behavior or continuing the argument, I started to laugh from the absurdity. I wish someone else was in the store to witness all of this, I wish she had called the cops so I could account for that dialogue and her energy, and I hope the store has cameras with audio so corporate can watch what happened. Her behavior was aggressive and not okay. At one point it seemed like she was ready to touch or shove me. For fun, I've included images of the Nathan Valdes shoes that I wore less than 5x alongside shoes that I have worn far more than 5x (including my wedding with 5+ hours of dancing and walking on gravel etc,) to get a sense of how I 'don't treat my shoes properly' and all that jazz. Such a bummer - I used to love this store and I hate that I have to resort to Yelp to outline this. I'll probably have to put this on Google too. read more

It's ironic when you have a negative experience in a store and then look at the Yelp reviews after the fact. The picture from 3 years ago that is the first picture you see on their profile says it all. Walked into the store today (in my Birks) looking for some comfy shoes, and there were so many... not a peep from the worker there, no greeting, not even a blink in my direction. I picked up maybe 10 different shoes that were cute. Still no peep. My fiancé and I were the only ones in the store. Someone else walks in (doesn't look like me) and the employee immediately (almost sprints) to her side, "hello! How are you today, would you like to try any of those on??" What an eager little beaver... where I didn't get as much a head tilt in my general direction. Other people are being greeted, but still not me... am I just imagining this?? I was so perturbed, I had to leave and had a difficult time enjoying the rest of my day. Do better. Get some people who GOF about everyone that comes into your store. Your classist and subsequent racist employee should maybe work somewhere else. PEOPLE OF COLOR NOT WELCOME HERE. Hard stop for people of color. Hard stop for allies. read more

Amazing shoe store in Long Beach!!!! Such unique and cool shoes and great service. So kind and always help me find what I need!

I am a local shopper on 2nd St. in Belmont Shore. I walked into your Long Veach store on 2nd St. I wanted to purchase a pair of shoes. I walked the ENTIRE store! I learned that the person who was sitting in the very back of the store in your back room NEVER, EVER got up out of her chair, distracted by her cell phone or other stuff!!! I came in another day to ask a different employee who it was!!! It was your store MANAGER who did NOTHING when I tried to buy a pair of shoes! I would have FIRED her on the spot!!! Your store and company lost a sale!! I shopped elsewhere! I shop where there is POSITIVE customer service and the customer is well taken care of. The kind employee that was in the store when I stopped in to get information said she had gotten other complaints about that MANAGER!!! Retail is struggling with online sales and competition! You will never make a profit in that store with a MANAGER who sits on her behind in back doing absolutely NOTHING to sell a pair of shoes!!! Awful store management!!! I tried posting on the website! Impossible! You should close that store! read more

I went on Black Friday because I have been eyeballing the Ethan Valdes shoes in their window for a while. Many styles were 40% off, which was great. The salesperson was polite, helpful and patient while I tried on multiple pairs of shoes and boots. The selection and service were both top-notch and I would recommend this store to anyone looking for high-quality shoes. The only (minor) negative is the lack of information on their web site beyond location addresses, such as holiday hours and promotions, but a quick call answered my questions. read more

O'My Sole, talk about comfort!! I have been looking for cute heels that actually don't kill my feet. Walked into a very pleasant atmosphere. The lady working was so friendly and immediately assisted me. There was also a friendly customer who told me she has been coming to this store for 9 years! No better reference than someone who actually knows the type of quality of the products being sold. The shoes I purchased have the perfect amount of cushion with thicker heels. Perfect for someone who wants to feel cute and not in pain. I will be back for a black pair in a few months. Thank you! read more

They should be called o my racist.. Wife and I were in earlier. She is a person of color. There were not many people in the store. In fact no one was there when we walked in. We were not greeted or even acknowledged. While we were browsing, two or three other customers came in. All white women. Each of them was greeted and asked if they needed any help. My wife picked up several pairs of shoes she thought were cute. I know the employee saw us because I was looking directly at her waiting for her to say something to us.. While other customers were asked if they would like to try something on we were actively ignored. Fuck this store. Fuck their rude racist employee. There is an old saying in business.. A satisfied customer may tell two or three people about their experience. An unhappy customer will tell everyone they know. Guess which one I'll be doing? read more

I have always loved this store. I love the style of shoes and the quality of the shoes. But it is also very important to me that when I enter a store that I am greeted, and that I am helped with a respectful and friendly attitude. The lady that helped me yesterday was extremely rude to me. First of all, she was on the phone when I entered the store, talking with a friend, and never even acknowledged me. Secondly, when the shoes didn't fit properly, she got irritated and walked away. She went to the register and ignored me. I will never buy another pair of shoes in the store. read more

Allen was super helpful and considerate of me and my friend while we were browsing. He was able to find me a pair of size 6 shoes that I'm super happy with. I appreciate his knowledgeable expertise and kindness. The store is filled with European brands that are well made and comfortable. I will be coming back! read more

I went in today. The kid working there, John was in the back stock room. Took him FOREVER for him to come out, and when he finally did his nose was in his phone. Never said "hi" never asked if I needed help, never even looked up. I had a pair of shoes in my hand, I wanted to buy. 200 bucks for a pair of shoes. But John could not pull his head away from his phone to help me. I walked up to him, and told him I would have bought the shoes had he helped me... his response??? "OK Bye". I will be also contacting the owner. That's bullshit. read more

The shoes are comparatively priced. They're expensive brands/shoes to start with. I will be buying shoes from Zappos.com (free shipping!) or direct from the manufacturer because O My Sole has an annoying return policy. read more

I'm very familiar with O' My Sole stores and I have to say walking into this location really left a lasting impression. A G-R-R-REAT experience!! Customer service was hands-down and Hands-on. Product knowledge is key to providing your customers confidence and competence that your next pair of shoes will serve the very purpose why you bought them. Great selection for men, women, and for any occasion. They have shoes from European countries such as Spain, Italy, France, England, name it! read more

Great shoe store. Euro styles, plenty of them. Look for Wally, she's very nice to deal with read more

O My Sole - Shoe Stores Near Me - Long Beach, California

My boyfriend and I walked in at the same time as another customer. We were not greeted or offered help but the other customer was. The woman working had finished helping the other customer. I was looking at Birkenstocks and said "excuse me, can can I get these in a size 6?" The employee looked in my direction as I asked the question and clearly heard what I said. She said "excuse me" back and I repeated myself. It was really weird because she knew what I said and her tone was rude. She immediately says "We don't have that size" then walks to the back to "check". She tells me that they don't have it and I asked if they had the same shoe in a different color. She flat out says "no". I said "thank you" and my boyfriend and I walked out. We were stunned by this rude employee with red hair and an accent. My boyfriend is a person of color. After reading the other negative reviews I am convinced of my suspicion that this experience is fueled by racism. I find it ironic that this store on 2nd Street is still in business. If your store and it's employees are going to be racist and rude then don't have your store in one of the most diverse cities in the country. I will never support this store and will tell everyone I know about mine and my boyfriends shitty experience here. read more

I've been standing in this store approximately ten minutes. There is a cute pair of shoes I was about 75% ready to buy. But no one has offered to help me, greeted me, or at least said to wait while they wrap up other customers. read more

I took in 2 pairs of boots that needed to be re-soled and Miguel took great care of me! Boots came back looking and feeling like new! Excellent customer service! I will definitely be a returning customer! read more

When I searched for this particular business in Yelp, I was kind of expecting at least a 4 star overall service, as I had heard good things about the quality of the shoes and the service they provided. My dislike came last night when I tried to get some sympathy and understanding on some boots I wanted to return. Gorgeous leather ankle boots with heel, I purchased for my Birthday in December of 2018. Now I understand that this was 5 months ago, but when you pay over $200 for some boots, you want some understanding when the heel completely snaps off when you're just walking to the gym. This wasn't the first issue either. After only having the boots for 1 month, the sole began coming away. I thought perhaps I was being heavy footed or sitting at my desk incorrectly at work, but then realized the quality of the boot wasn't all that great. I took the boots to the cobbler when instead I should have taken them straight back to the store, O' My Sole. I just loved these boots and wanted to wear them and not have to deal with the return policy and O' My Sole sending them all the way back to Spain where they were originally made. A simple and easy fix by the cobbler and my boots were like new again. 3 Months in and wearing them on occasion and not everyday, the heel began to wear down :( I particularly felt that wearing them on occasion and only to and from the car, and then parading around on office carpet wasn't enough to warrant heel damage. You would think I had walked across country in these boots with the way they were starting to wear down. Anyway, moving on to May 20 and walking from work to the gym (no more than a block away) I tripped and looked down to find my boot was no more a heel boot. The heel came off clean as a whistle and lied down on the concrete floor staring at me. I was mortified! I picked the heel up and with that, I hopped on over to the gym. Luckily, I could wear my sneakers for the remainder of the day. I looked at the boots and took pictures because I had never had this happen to me before. I know this has to happen to most women at some point in their lives, but with $200 plus boots, no thank you! I was p1ssed! Unfortunately, last night was not the turning point I expected when I walked into the store. A woman, not sure if she was management was quite abrupt and rude. She laughed when I asked if I could return them and receive a credit note or some kind of compensation. She was shocked that I would even ask such a thing when the boots were 5 months old. Well, when you pay more than $200 for a pair of leather boots, you expect better customer service than that. I have plenty of Lucky Brand and Ugg boots at home. I already know if I had an issue with any of those boots (which wouldn't happen) they would take care of it immediately. What surprised me was when the store lady said that they no longer stocked this particular brand of boot! Clear as day and sat on the shelf to the left of the counter was a range of the same brand of boots, and even the exact same boot I was trying to return. All shapes and sizes and around the $150-$300 mark. She laughed again that she didn't have my size and there was nothing that they could do. I walked away thinking, you know what? I received bad customer service here on some boots I loved. When we receive bad customer service, we tend to share our experiences with at least 5 people we come into contact with. I must say, that this issue has been shared, the boot manufacturer has been contacted by myself and not the store because they had no interest in providing any service whatsoever. I would not waste your time in this store. I lost my sole quite literally and I lost my heel. O' My Sole indeed because you say that when you lose both sole and heel. I lost my soul. read more

O My Sole - The overpriced boot that only lasted 5 months. This boot cost me $45 a month! - Shoe Stores Near Me - Long Beach, California

BEST shoe store for groovey people like me!!! Lots of European brands and plenty of Kenneth Cole. Uggs in every color, and Birkies for the hippies. Sexy, strappy numbers too!! Beautiful cuz it's right here in my hood!! read more

This is a bright, hip, somewhat industrial-looking store with a lot of women's shoes and a good number of men's shoes too. It's a great source for comfort shoes that don't look like comfort shoes, comfort shoes that do look like comfort shoes, emo shoes, hippie shoes, casual shoes, "casual athletic" shoes, and similar. My taste in shoes doesn't really match up with O My Sole's (wish they'd carry more Italian and other slicker-looking shoes), but I do occasionally find things I like. Brands they regularly stock include Doc Martens, Ugg, Birkenstock, Clarks, Converse, Rocket Dog, Born, Earth, and the like, plus an assortment of European brands that fit a similar aesthetic. Their women's shoes tend to be a lot more varied/interesting/unusual than their men's. Prices are about average for the brands, maybe just slightly on the high side at times for the ones that aren't on sale. I suspect their stock may be factory overstock, at least in part, since they will sometimes get in a large number of one company's shoes and then never carry that company again, or receive new shoes in a limited selection of sizes. Despite this, however, one downside of the store is that their stock doesn't change as often as one may hope. Maybe it's just me, but when I go here (which is not all that often), it always looks about 85% the same as last time I was here. If you're into comfort/emo/hippie shoes, you'll love this place. If not, it's still worth a look since they sometimes get in something unexpected. read more

Bought a pair of shoes that this lady named Wally talked me into getting. An hour after wearing them, they were sliding off my feet back and forth and were the most uncomfortable sandals I've ever had that I've spent $66.06 on. I came back to get an exchange and they completely ripped me off. I found a pair of shoes for $16 dollars less and she said I had to buy a pair for the exact same amount. So technically I would have to spend double! I left my shoes in a box on a counter! read more

One of my favorite shoe stores, if not my favorite. This store has a great selection of unique, high-quality European shoes that are not commonly found in other stores. I stopped by last weekend and was greeted by Wally, who was so sweet and helpful and well, long story short, I walked out with two pairs of shoes that I absolutely love. read more

Quick & Dirty: I love to look at the shoes in this store. I hate to look at the price tag. O My Wallet is more like it. Long & Pricey: This place has the coolest shoes, why do they have to be so effen expensive! I want them all but I don't want to pay out the A$$ for them. I will walk through here and find them all so very cool but when you flip the freakin' thing over and see three numerals I just flip it right back over. I usually walk out feeling bummed that their shoes are overpriced. Will I ever buy a shoe from here? Only time will tell. read more

Hello, Recently, I visited your Long Beach location on 2nd Street in Belmont Shore. I've made a couple of purchases prior to this visit. I am writing this review because I recently had a very negative encounter with one your staff. I was in search of purchasing the Tamarindo men's shoes. While in the store I had asked the associate if the shoes were made in Germany or in the US. The associate responded with "I am not sure but you can Google it!" To which I replied "Great! While I'm Googling it I might as well as order from your competitor online." I experienced and received terrible customer service as this location. Unfortunately, I do not remember her name but she is the female with the long reddish hair who speaks w/ an accent. Thanks! read more

For all those peeps who whine and complain about the prices, it's because they carry quality shoes and European makes too. Their prices are fair and comparable for the make & model. I don't believe in buying quantity but rather quality. Having less but better well made shoes is a bigger incentive to me. We get what we pay for. I prefer to pay more for quality shoes, save my feet/knees/back from injuries and doctor bills than cheaply made/poorly designed shoes for cheap. I have never had poor customer service when i go here. I have always been happy with every visit. I love their selection of shoes with great comfort from casual to dressy designs. if you love comfort, cool designs and understand quality, then definitely check out this shop. read more

Employee greeted my sister and I once we stepped into the store. He was patient, kind and knowledgeable about the products. However, I wished they had the white Birkenstock's in my size :(. Still left with a pair of cute sandals. Anyways, I left with an overall positive experience. read more

I've gotten great shoes and 'why did I buy those' shoes here, however, the service is slightly off. Maybe they are striving for elite and are hitting rude. . My two favorites were the man who took a 15 minute phone order only to shoos me upon hanging up so he could write up the order correctly. Or the women who keep repeating,,, I'm not sure the make shoes that large, your are lucky they had one that large, they only had one that large,,,,, I had to giggle at the review below where another customer was informed they didn't have shoes that small... just slightly off . read more

Whenever I visit Long Beach I always make sure to stop here! I love the quality of the shoes and the staff is excellent at this location! I always make sure to go when Wally is working! She is very knowledgeable about the selection and brands and always seems to know the perfect shoe for me. I 100% recommend going here for anyone who is looking for a good pair of shoes that will last a long time! read more

a wonderful shop, with Wally helping us every time we come by! She is knowledgeable and very helpful. these aren't cheap imported shoes like payless, these are European imported shoes and we love them! people complain about $200.00 shoes but buy $700.00 iphones, how does that make any sense? once again, thanks Wally! youre the best! read more

A great shoe store, Wally is wonderful and honest. She understands husbands and will gladly hide the shoes in a large handbag ( sometimes wonderful husbands do not always understand :) The shoes at O My Sole are some of the best shoes I have ever bought and best of all these high quality shoes last a long time. I adore this shoe store and am very glad that is in the Shore. D. Roberts read more

Horrible customer service! I don't recommend buying shoes here. Never been treated so rudely in my life.

I've walked into this store twice. Both times I was never approached by store personnel for assistance . I don't get it. Is it because I'm a man and 80% of their shoe selection is for women? I really wanted to try on a show (cost between $175 -$199). Guess they didn't want my business. So k walked out. Have a good day ... would have been a nice salutation! read more

great selection, but hit them up during their sales (seasonally most often), cus their prices are a bit high. this is a great place to go for a new pair of chucks, or some reefs though. great location, next door to peets. i find myself with my face pressed up against the glass, ogling the shoes far too often. the burdens of being poor... sigh... read more

I love the shoes here. They have a great selection of up-to-date styles. The big problem is the service. You have to get agressive if you want them to serve you. You can sit there for 3 hours and no one will ask if you need help. Sometimes I think I should just walk into the back and look for the shoes myself. Let's see what they do if that happened. But otherwise, this place always has shoes I want. read more
