“A must visit, honestly the best shop for gifts and the widest range of socks I’ve ever seen! We played ‘sock roulette’ and bought a pair of socks in secret for each member of our group which was a fun game :)”
“I absolutely loved his store. I felt like a stumbled upon a gold mine. I ended up purchasing two jackets and loved the material and one of them was made in USA (which is always awesome). The staff was amazing and extremely helpful. It’s a small store and they were busy but made me feel very welcomed. I would highly recommend checking this place out if in the area.”
“Came in on a busy holiday weekend and received assistance from the wonderful Tomek. Helped quickly find out and procure exactly what I needed with tips on improved foot health. Coming back for a new pair bc this place is always great.”
“Walked in with my mom she was looking for shoes and Emma was our sales associate and told us about their foot scanner which I’ve been wanting to check out. I’ve worked on my feet for almost 30yrs straight and need some door support, so she scanned me, suggested the right arch support and I purchased them with no hesitation! Great customer service”
“I ordered some uggs it came well packaged with no damage to the shoe box or delivery box. Arrived just on time. The shoe looks as is shown on the website. I recommend this business.”

“I will start by saying I haven’t been inside an actual shoe store in years. I purchased my first pair of shell cordovan boots for work at Alden online and with this being an investment I brought them in to be sure I got the right size. Jim is the gentleman that took my call and when I expressed my concerns he invited me to come in to check the fit. He was extremely polite, professional, and patient with me. Encouraged me to try out different sizes and styles, and in no way made me feel rushed. He was extremely knowledgeable, showed me how to properly care for them, and I walked out with a pair of boots that will last generations. I will definitely be back and highly recommended stopping in if you are in the area and in the market for some of the best handmade boots money can buy. Thanks again Jim, see ya soon!”
“CITRINE SHOP IN LARKSPUR CA: You HAVE to try their SALT ROOM!!!! My daughter told me how relaxing it was so I gave it a try. WOW! I was amazed. 30 minutes later not only did I walk out more relaxed and de-stressed than even after any 90 minute massage I had ever had, but during the session I felt my one usually clogged up ear opening up and draining. It relaxed me so much that I fell asleep at some point. This just became my favorite therapy!”
“Staff here is always friendly and helpful. Got a great pair of neighborhood jeans here for a good price. They even gave me some recommendations for where to eat while I was in the city.”
“I stopped by A.C.M.E. Workwear while I was up in the city. I usually shop at Redwood Trading Post since I live in Redwood City, but I’m really glad I checked this place out. It’s near Mission and Geneva, not a flashy area at all, but the store itself is solid and worth the stop. For a smaller shop, the selection is really good. They have a lot of Carhartt, and not just the usual stuff. Pants, shirts, jackets, accessories, and most importantly, real size runs. I wear a 40x34 in work pants, which is usually hard to find, but they had it right there with no issue. That alone impressed me. I went in planning to use my work stipend on new pants and ended up grabbing a pair of Carhartt B01s and a tee. One thing to note is that the prices are a little higher than online. The B01s were about $67 in the store, while you can find them online for closer to $59. The pair I bought had also been sitting in the sun for a while, so one side was noticeably more faded than the other. To be fair, the guy helping me, Kevin, noticed it right away and gave me a discount without me even asking, which I appreciated. Kevin was great overall. Super friendly, helpful, and relaxed. No pressure, no upselling, just straight help getting what I actually needed. That kind of service goes a long way. They’ve been around since 1972, and it shows. The place feels established and dependable. They carry a wide range of workwear brands and gear, from boots to hard hats and more, and even though you can’t order online, they do have a website. I’d definitely come back, especially if I’m already in the city. If you’re looking for real workwear and good service, this place delivers, just keep in mind the prices can run a bit higher than online.”
“Excellent pointe shoe fitting experience! The fitter was very patient and helped me try on about 20 pairs of shoes until we found the right options. Two pairs worked well for me, and I ended up buying one of them. I tested them in class today and could already tell the difference—my balance felt better, and I felt more lifted en pointe. Really appreciate the time and care that went into the fitting. Highly recommend!”
“The people that run this shoe store are the absolute kindest people I’ve ever met. I was busy running after my teenage twin boys while simultaneously getting deep blisters on my feet because I decided not to wear socks, a super dumb decision! I popped into the store to see about grabbing some socks. I was greeted incredibly kindly, they showed me where the sale socks were. They offered to give me Band-Aids and didn’t pressure me at all to buy a pair of shoes. I come to this area often and next time I come I for sure will purchase a pair of shoes. Incredibly grateful for their kindness and good vibes. 🤩”
“I want EVERYTHING in this shop. The curation is very thoughtful. Great quality items. The gal at the front - Maddy was so so helpful. She was very kind and was so knowledgeable about the items.”
“I've purchased two pairs of shoes from these guys recently and had a great experience on both occasions. The staff was attentive, courteous, and the collection they have is well curated. I highly recommend!”
“brilliant, talented, experts in shoes and feet of all kinds from the sole up. lucky to have these folks here. just drop in to see what shoes and creativity and talent and expertise looks like. love this place and it's people!”
“Wonderful selection of every kind of sock option for all preferences. My mother loved the pair we bought her and we got sock varieties that are not readily available at most other shops.”
“The nicest owner and best shoes. It’s heartbreaking that the business is needing to close given the building sold. A staple of San Francisco for decades. He was so helpful with shoe selection and I have tricky feet so buying shoes is always tough for me. So appreciative of the attention and care and wish this business all the best if they open up elsewhere or if this is their closing chapter. Thank you!”
“You can receive invitations to get in at the Golden Gate Bistro and at the Rosie the Riveter museum it's a nice place to shop for high in sportswear with some savings attached.”
“Great experience 😀 Everyone was super friendly, and the guy with the tattoos was awesome. He was really helpful, knew his stuff, and made it easy to find exactly what I was looking for without being pushy. I’ll definitely be back. Thanks again for the great service.”
“I made a purchase at the store in April, and Dante, the cashier, was extremely helpful. He was very polite, friendly, and solution-oriented throughout the entire process. It is truly great to see valuable employees like him representing the store. His excellent customer service made my shopping experience much more enjoyable.”
“I got my first product, a chore coat, online and stopped in store for a larger size. The gentleman working was super helpful and kind. I wore the coat all over our NorCal vacation and it was perfect. Definitely one of my favorite pieces.”
“I came in right before they closed, and the store attendant’s were super helpful. I changed my mind about the shoe I was getting several times, and after I bought it, I changed my mind about the color and she still helped me with a super positive attitude the whole time. Super recommend!”
“Xóchitl is extremely helpful and patient. Not only did she go through her stock with me, but she also did some research to make sure I was going home with the right shoe. I highly recommend if you’re looking for sexy footwear.”
“This store has exceptionally beautiful knitwear, like tops, sweaters and skirts, that is manufactured in house. The pieces utilize high quality and sustainable natural fibers. The design silhouettes lean towards basics but with charming and interesting design flourishes. The result is elevated knitwear that you will want to wear everyday. I love this store. Truly special.”
“I came here for a Warriors watch party. The Warriors home opening night game versus the Denver Nuggets to be specific! It was such a great game to witness. I enjoyed being able to watch the game on the 120 inch screen. When I arrived, the thunder in Oklahoma City game had gone to double overtime so they placed the Warriors game on the other TVs until they cast it on the big screen. Thankfully, for this game, I had a great view from one of the couches. It was nice and comfortable on there. It was great to meet TJ and Nick. They both provided excellent service and it was great to chat with them. Hearing that they host to watch parties for the Niners games is also a huge plus. I look forward to being back for one of those and also visiting the storefront. Shout out to Levels SF for hosting and awesome event!”
“Hands down my favorite store in all of China town. The shop is situated on a bustling street. It's cute and tidy. They have a lot of adorable clothes and shoes, good materials, high quality. They also have spacious changing rooms which is nice since most of the shops there don't have any. The staff is always friendly enough, and they take both cash and credit cards.”
