Old school shoes…read more.. Is now the biggest support for our soles as I remember shopping here for my shoes when I was very little was very surprise to see that they have survived all the big shops filled with styles that many crave for though I must admit that I haven't been there in decades until having feet problems and my podiatrist suggested picking up some support for my sad and aching feet. Located on the ground floor of University Plaza which is right behind Raising Cane's on South King Street and the entrance is easiest on Kuilei St as University Ave can get very busy with traffic. You can see their sign right below the staircase though I accidentally walked into a vape shop lol Uyeda is located right beside it. Walking in I can instantly tell it's not at all what it used to be though it's so nice and clean and very organized a lady came out to greet me and find out what I was looking for and for me to describe what foot issues I have as I was told that many bartenders and various working folks that are on their feet constantly are regulars here. Seeing a rack with Oofos and Hoka shoes just to name a few are all known for comfort. As I found the insoles and suggestions it's the place to come for Black Friday she says as everything is 20% off and as these shoes are pricey the value of your feet as it's the foundation of it all is worth every penny. Thank you!

They have some of the rarest and hottest shoes on the market that most places would never carry. Their selection was amazing with most of their prices beating GOAT and StockX. The owner was one of the nicest locals I've met. He was very helpful and super personal when it came to sneakers, even letting me see my personal grails in hand. Part of me wanted to stay longer just to chat with him. After a little bit of price negotiation, I ended up leaving with a pair of air fear of gods, a shoe I've wanted for a very long time. Overall, if you're visiting the island or in the area, I highly recommend taking a look inside this store, because you won't be disappointed. Mahalo to the TRUEST Ohana!!!

Great sneaker store. The owner was dope. Def recommend if you're in the area and love sneakers.read more

I just looked at the shoe shelf in my closet and realized that almost every shoe I own -- except my…read moregym shoes -- was purchased at The Shoe Box! I have boxes of Damiani, Naturalizer, Italian, Callisto, and Athena Alexander shoes, and usually the same style in at least two colors. The convenient location, reasonable prices ($19 and upwards, typically in the $45-$59 range), and variety of styles make this an ideal place to shop for the working girl, hmm... let me rephrase... make that "business professional woman." If you work in downtown, you have probably already stopped by on your lunch break to chat with the owner while she helps you navigate the myriad of boxes to find the right size for you. She does buying trips several times a year and brings back the latest styles. If you're a common size, you may have to wrestle with another customer for the shoe, so the best thing is to ask the owner when the new styles are coming in and plan accordingly. Have fun!

They have some cute heels that I always eye up from time to time. One specific pair caught my attention but they were sold out of my size.. They must have good business to have stayed in Downtown for as long as I have been in the area. Great customer service. It's never crowded so you really get that one on one time with the lady if you need assistance.

My first complaint is that their locations are not really local friendly. Two of their locations…read moreare in Waikiki and their third location is in downtown with limited street parking that is usually taken. My second complaint is that their downtown location doesn't have that much selection so if you are looking for slides you are out of luck. So I highly suggest calling ahead of time to see if they have the product that you want is available. That being said their products are solid! Even comes with a warranty. So even though it's on the pricier side I feel that it's a great value. Plus the workers are friendly and really helpful making for a great buying experience.

While I was walking at Royal Hawaiian Center, Original Grail Store caught my eye. They have the…read morerarest Labubu(s) displayed in front of their store. The people there were very helpful with what I was looking for. They have tons of choices, including the secret items; MACARON, HAVE A SEAT and BIG INTO ENERGY in limited quantities with lots more of the special editions that's hard to find. Secret(s) edition are very hard to find. I am not sure how many blind boxes you need to buy/open to luckily get them. I bought an open box because I want to make sure that's what I want. The pricing was reasonable. I feel their price is fair. Thanks to Harvey for providing me the best assistance. He is the best!

Very disappointing experience with Original Grail in Waikiki. My 13-year-old son purchased a pair…read moreof older Jordan sneakers here for approximately $208 while I was not with him. He paid cash and was asked to sign a Sneaker Condition & Final Sale Waiver himself, without a parent or guardian present. The shoes were worn only twice, one shoe completely separated from the sole and the other also started coming apart. This happened while my son was at school. He had to walk very slowly for hours, was late to class, and was embarrassed when other students laughed at him because of the condition of his shoes. I contacted Original Grail and provided photos of the damage. They declined a refund, exchange, or store credit, citing the waiver and the age of the sneakers. I asked them to reconsider because the waiver was signed by my 13-year-old son without a parent or guardian present, but they maintained their decision. Original Grail later stated to me in writing that the sneakers were manufactured in 2014, while the handwritten information on the waiver they provided appears to reference 2011. I understand that older collectible sneakers can deteriorate with age. However, as a parent, I am very disappointed that an older pair with this risk was sold to a 13-year-old, that he was permitted to sign the final-sale waiver himself without a parent present, and that both shoes began failing after only two wears. I am sharing our experience so other parents and customers can understand the risks and the store's final-sale policy before making a purchase.

The entire shopping experience was easy and hassle-free. The prices are very reasonable as well and i could not be happier with the experience. A special shoutout to Brooke, who provided outstanding customer service. She was friendly, knowledgeable, and took the time to help me find the perfect fit without making me feel rushed. Her professionalism and attention to detail made all the difference. She must have gotten me over 6 pairs of shoes to try on and you could tell she really wanted to find the right shoe for my needs. I left with exactly what I needed and couldn't be happier with my purchase. I highly recommend Work Shoe Hawaii to anyone looking for quality safety footwear and exceptional customer service. I'll definitely be back!

How they kept me going…read more.. For a brief moment I enjoyed joining a 5K and 10K walks/runs and with that I had no idea what type of shoes is for me as many recommend what is the best somehow it jut never really worked for me though the stability and comfort is what many brands to encourage they have my feet just says differently. There are moments when packet pick ups was here at the Running Room and with that I always somehow never leave without purchasing something as they just have so many items besides shoes and socks and the perfect location on Kapahulu with free parking does make it an easy place to shop as well and on this sad to hear of its closure did take me by surprise so I just had to pay them a visit and I guess many have known about it as basically majority of their inventory has already been sold. Luckily for my larger sized feet there was my size left though the color situation was sparse understandably I did find one that looked promising and decided to get my very first pair of Hoka. I haven't treated myself to a brand new shoe in years so it felt like a cloud but being cautious since my legs hurt the next day. Not exactly sure when their last will be but glad to have given them one final visit and hope that the future will grand for this part of Kapahulu. Thank you!

Yelp Ghost, you're killing me!!…read more Since my previous review disappeared, I'll write this new review based on three of my most recent visits. I was looking for a new walking and running shoe so I immediately went to Food Locker at Ala Moana Center. They are located on the top floor across Hoka. Since my sister swears by Hoka and I recently bought my dad a pair of Hoka's, I looked at that section first. My cousin recommended a brand called ON so I also checked that section out after. Now I could compare them myself. I picked a pair from each brand and a SA named Joshua helped me. He was friendly and very knowledgeable about both brands. Joshua offered exceptional customer service. He didn't take long to bring out my size to give them a try. I personally didn't care for how the Hoka's made me feel. It felt like a rocking motion but maybe I need to acclimate to them? The ON pair was extremely light and very comfortable. It was a hard decision so I told Joshua I would think about it and come back. I ended up coming back to pick up the ON shoes another day. He was working so he was able to assist me with bringing the pair out for me to purchase. They offer you to join their FLX rewards program and to do a survey of your visit. With Joshua's excellent customer service, I made sure to do it. To my surprise, I received a $10 gift certificate to use on my next purchase after completing the survey. It came in handy as I wanted to get my father-in-law a pair before we flew out to visit my in-laws. Of course my dad wants a pair too lol. Great option to purchase sneakers, socks or sports apparel.

Shoe shopping…read more.. This gal isn't really a shoe shopper but my feet is always in desperate need for a comfortable pair and I've been relying on Foot Locker for that though at one point they had great selection for women as I've always came here versus the Women's Foot Locker which sadly has closed now find that the selection here for my personal preference is meh! The staff here is great as they greet you but I'm a browser and do need time to look so I don't mind that solidarity and to think through the prices as well though sometimes have the need to ask for their knowledge and suggestion which is something we all should do especially mine is mostly for work. Their insoles are a great item to keep in mind...get them and keep the receipt with the box because once they wear out it's use you can have them replaced for free as most time the insoles wear out before the shoe so you don't have to purchase another if it's in good condition and offers like this is wonderful new to keep my feet happy. Thank you!
