I stopped by the Store because I've been going there since I was a small girl. At one time my brother and I could both fit into the giant clog outside, early 70's! They've always had a great selection and this last visit I walked out with 4 pairs of Ecco, 2 L'Artistes. I get so many compliments when I wear Artiste shoes, they're one of a kind and when I first got introduced to them I bought them at a small boutique shoe store in Long beach CA and then later found them online through Amazon. What a delightful surprise to see Solvang Shoe Store carry the line along with Birkies, Ecco, Dansko, etc. Kelly was very patient with me as I tried on pair after pair. Then Gabriela called me after I returned from my trip to update me on some Birkies I was inquiring about. Great service! See you next time I pass through the Central Coast to stop for my Danish cookies and see what's new at the Shoe Store! read more

Solvang Shoe Store - Wooden Clogs - Shoe Stores Near Me - Solvang, California

It seems like Solvang is a place with unique and specific merchandise stores. They even have a store that sells just shoes. It's a lovely shoe store. Some of the shoes were very unique. I didn't buy any shoes from here, but it was nice to peruse through the aisles. I didn't have any direct interaction with the staff, but they appear to be pleasant and helpful to the other customers. When I am in Solvang again, I'll return here and perhaps leave with a pair of comfy shoes. Btw, they have a wooden shoe right outside their store. Photo opportunity for sure. I got mine LOL! read more

The salespeople were very helpful and patient. There were so many styles to choose from. The prices were comparable to most shoe stores.

If you're in Solvang and looking for authentic Danish wooden clogs, this is the spot. Solvang Shoe Store has an impressive selection of clogs in all sizes, styles, colors, and designs from classic and understated to bold and fun. It's my go-to anytime I'm in town. What really sets this shop apart, though, is the above and beyond customer service. I recently stopped in and bought a beautiful pair of clogs, but I also needed a last-minute shoe shine something they don't offer. Still, they graciously offered to help anyway, and that small act of kindness made all the difference. This is exactly the kind of small-town, locally owned store that reminds you how great personalized service can be. Friendly, helpful, and genuinely caring staff. Highly recommend stopping in whether you're shopping for yourself or picking up a unique gift. read more

We had to go check out the clogs here. Inside looks like a normal shoe store in the front but in the back, they had the Cloggery in the back. The store owner was so nice. She assisted us with trying on the clogs. The clogs were actually surprisingly comfortable! They had great arch support! They start at $70-$100. The painted ones were beautiful! I highly recommend trying on the clogs as it is definitely a Solvang experience! read more

I live in the Santa Barbara area and this is the last real shoe store. They carry an amazing variety of footwear and its where I go when I need everyday shoes, and occasionally something fun. Shopping used to be experiential, and Solvang Shoe Store puts some of that feeling back. And, you can try before you buy so who needs free returns? Love Live the Clog! read more

Its jam packed! Ok selection, but pricey compared to other spots. Staff seemed a bit distant.

We were passing through and stopped here to browse. We found two pairs of shoes we liked; however, upon arriving home we noticed the receipt states that this store gives store credit only for returns-NO CASH or CREDIT CARD REFUNDS. Had I known, we would never have shopped here. Ask first before purchasing. read more

In an effort to support small businesses, this spot was small space isle, went in to look for one thing came out with something else. Zero stock of what I wanted, however I did comprise, alternative was also a comfy favorite. Cashier did offer 10% discount which stopped me from walking out, so the value was there. It is/was a particularly busier "Julefest" weekend, I'm not sure the cashier enthusiasm to help, but did what she had to. read more

If you are looking for Birkenstock's, Clark's or Jambu's you'll be in the right store. If you want stilettos, Manolo's or Jimmy Choo's don't come looking here and then give a low rating, just saying. The prices are expensive because Birkenstock and Jambu's cost over $100 wherever you go. I got great customer service, I came out with two pair of shoes and you can call me a very satisfied customer. read more

Solvang and this store is a great family experience for everybody! We recommend this city, it's tasty snacks, it's delightful, museums, and all of its unique frivolity for anyone seeking a unique experience in Santa Barbara county. read more

Love this show store, friendly staff and they have some really unique shoes . Right in the middle of Solvang

Danielle was a great associate! Super helpful to me and my mom even in a super busy store.

This is a great store but the hours listed on yelp are wrong. The sign says it opens at ten am not at nine. They have a big shoe outside that you can sit in while you wait for them to open. read more

If you can't find a pair of shoes here, you won't find them anywhere. Great store, great people and fun time. Thank you!

As old as this store is, I guarantee it was not built on the shoulders of the person who served me the last couple times in. I hate to describe people by age, but I didn't catch their names: the young ladies that work there provided good service...while the older lady was the opposite. She was short, curt, rude & even argumentative. Horrible example to the young people working there. I've been shopping at that store for decades...sad to say no more unless something changes. read more

I luv this store I always buy a couple pairs of shoes every time I go there. Must stop in a browse. They have a little bit of everything for everybody. Come check it out. Hope to see you there soon. read more

I love the clogs. They have plain wooden clogs, yellow & red in sizes for men ranging all the way down to babies. They even had cute little pairs of clog house slippers. I was so excited to try on the clogs, and couldn't believe how comfortable they were. Of course they sell other brands and shoes, but the clogs were the most exciting product in the store. read more

Solvang Shoe Store - Clogs!!! - Shoe Stores Near Me - Solvang, California

Classic old-fashioned shoe store masquerading as a tourist novelty clog shop. They do all the things that disappeared from shoe stores like bringing samples and giving advice. They have a big stockroom in the back where they have your size. Cons, it's expensive and not super fashionable. Good for you - the kind of shop your grandparents liked. read more

Some pretty awesome wooden clogs here! The staff is pretty helpful and it's really fun to try out the wooden shoes. Pretty tiny shoe store - they're kind of crunchy and have a lot of things like Birkenstocks and Clarks. Everything is overpriced though, so check out the clogs but buy your new sandals elsewhere. read more

I bought a pair of Ecco boots from this store a couple years ago. At the time, the store representative encouraged me with the exceptional warranty that comes with these boots. After a couple years of normal use, the stitching came loose. I was passing through and stopped to ask about the warranty. The manager asked if I had them with me. I didn't, so she said to mail them to her ands he would see what she could do about it. I mailed them the day after I got home. It as only a couple days later that the box came back to me. To my great surprise, there was a brand new pair inside! She really stood by her word! What a blessing! I would definitely buy from this store again! read more

There was a really artsy sandal that drew me into this store unexpectedly. Found to my amazement that there is a whole line of these artistic, flowery sandals, clogs, and flip flops in vibrant turquoise's, lime greens, pinks, purples, etc. I tried to resist buying but alas could not resist Staff was nice here, made sure I had what I need and was kind enough to explain the size conversions. read more

I went here because it's local and they carry some good brands, but customer service is a joke, there's a young lady named Christine that I make sure is NOT working before I go in, she has a nasty attitude, talks bad about customers right behind them... I could go on. Best advice- just call ahead and make sure shes not working (if you don't like being poorly treated and you would rather be valued as a customer/potential customer) read more

Shop online and Avoid this He11hole. Horrible Service + Great Selection = Irritating Experience. Order what you like online. Between the young clerk trying to force the shoe out of my mothers hand as we are talking to the very rude heavy set women working the mens shoes who was so desparately trying to sell to the older gentlemen (that really isnt going to buy anything unless he ask 500 questions) that she just couldnt be bothered with a customer who knew exactly what they wanted (eye roll)...this place is top of the list if you want to experience that scene in Pretty Woman where The Nasty Chicks try to make you feel like "S". If you watched the movie, you know they lose out of the sale due to their sales practices. As for the shoes...they are nice but a few clicks of a website and you can avoid the abuse and get your shoes the painless way. AVOID! read more

Solvang Shoe Store - I will stay outside - Shoe Stores Near Me - Solvang, California

So before Moccasins were really trendy my family and I would stock up on Minnetonka's here. Now that they are mainstream and department stores carry them, I pass by this little shoe store. I still have a special place for them in heart. Also.....be aware when you put your little children in the big red shoe.... not only is it really hot since it is wood and metal but I can't even count how many times I have seen people spit in it or throw trash in there. Its like the Blarney stone.....don't do it. read more

Best shoe store I've ever been to, they have SO much selection and it's stuff I can't even find on Amazon usually.

They have a wonderful selection of shoes. I have purchased Clark's there twice and they are very comfortable.

If I can give this place a 0.5 star I would! This place is overpriced and the customer service is horrible! They lied to me and charged my card for the price I didn't agree to! I talked to them over the phone countless times to try and work it out with them but they would hang up on me! Everyone visiting this amazing city do not go to this store!!!!! read more

This is always a fun stop while in Solvang because it is the only store I have ever seen where you can buy genuine wooden shoes. They also have a great variety of wonderful sandals as well as some of the finest shoes you will ever find. read more

I can't recommend this place enough! My doctor told me I needed special shoes...I look online and they're $150 a pair! I thought I'd better try them on first, since I have giant feet-it's super hard to find ones that fit!! So I came here, and ended up finding 3 pairs way cheaper than online, and they're cute! Bonus points for super friendly, super helpful staff! read more

Customer service is atrocious. It would be nice to be acknowledged and offered help while in store. I was in to buy 5 pairs of shoes and was ignored completely. Get this....I was told that the 2 sales girls were having a sales competition too. Hahaha! Good luck with that! Should have looked up from the computer and phone! read more

I had to stop and shop here. An episode of California's Gold, was the inspiration. I was pleased to find that the staff were super helpful and the variety was plentiful. The highlight was the giant red clog, out front. read more

I wouldn't even give this place even 1 star... came in to buy a pair of uggs that I saw displayed out the window and an asian associate - I didn't catch her name tho, when I asked for the uggs she said they didn't have it and so I asked for another pair and said the same thing so on the third time I asked for she came back with a completely different pair and said that the one I wanted was out and old. So I decided to talk to another associate (a senior woman with glasses) and asked if I could possibly order them and said yes and if there was a problem. I told her what happened and said rudely that her coworker was just trying to to give me options but I didn't buy it. They make you feel unwelcome and that you are bothering them. Avoid this place ladies! Great selection but terrible employees/owners read more

Let's face it. People come here to try on the wooden clogs thousands of people have worn over the years. I have had so much fun wearing those shoes over the years. But never have I considered actually buying shoes here. I am a tourist freeloader and I love their wooden shoes. read more

Grace has been SO helpful. MVP. very kind. Made the experience worth it. Two of us walked out with crocs. She's. Great. So great. Wow. Coming back FOR SURE. read more

Randomly thinking about buying another pair of birkenstocks and since I'm strolling past a huge clog, of course I decide to come in here. I spot the birks right away, I pull one of the samples off and wonder where the sales people are? Finally after trying on a couple pairs on my own, I see a girl staring off into space obliviously, and I ask if she works there. She does. I tell her what I'm looking for and a minute later she comes back with the sandals I want. She hands them over, I saunter around a bit, seems they need to be a bit bigger. She gets another pair and just kind of drops them from waist high to the floor. "Oops. Heh, there you go." Really? You couldn't hand them to me? Or put them by my feet? Ok..then she says "oh the strap isn't done" So you couldn't fasten them for me while I was trying to put the first pair back in the box? There was absolutely no customer service. Won't go back, won't recommend. read more

The staff or at least the young women we have the misfortune of getting as our sales person was very rude. Clearly did not want to be there yesterday morning. Was extremely rude to my 91 year old mother when my mom said oh could you please help me get this shoe on. The sales person responded do you always have help putting on your shoes who helps you at home. For gods sake the stupid little girl that is suppose to be a sales person in a shoe store didn't feel like she had to help someone with shoes. If you want to buy shoes and be treated rudly go to this place otherwise go some where else. Tried calling to verbally try to make the complaint with someone and they do not answer the phone. read more
