ch-ch-ch-changes!

[The kids wall is packed with new stuff!]

Hey Sole Food lovers,

Linda here and I have just returned from a month long trip away. It feels good to be back in Seattle and at Sole Food again! What a huge difference four weeks makes in a small boutique like Sole Food. I did not recognize the store! It was quite overwhelming to see so many new shoes and a bunch of new accessories for fall. I am very excited to add new findings to my fall collection. After all, Autumn is my favorite season of all time. It is a perfect time to play with your wardrobe, especially with the dynamic changes in the weather that Seattle sees during this time.

I wanted to share just a smidgen of what's new in the store, especially those that first caught my

eye when I first got back.

[Mens Styles]

We've got some great styles in for the guys, including some new ones from Vans and J Shoes. The classic sneaker is always a favorite of mine and can be a bold detail in your outfit. It can compliment a fall wardrobe very nicely. As for other shoes in the store, the lace-up leather boot is another favorite, like J Shoes' Glen Boot.

J Shoes - Glen Boot

[Womens Styles]

I cannot even begin to describe my love for the fall lines we have. We have so much to ogle at, and a lot that you need to have in your wardrobe. The must-have shoes this season hail from Europe...Chie Mihara & Coclico from Spain, and Gidigio from Italy. Beautifully crafted, these shoes are pure eye candy, and feel great on your feet.

Chie Mihara - Jupi Oxford

Coclico - Oren Pump

Gidigio - Cresp Fume Flat

[Accessories]

So many pretty things! We have lots of new handbags and also welcome a new line of purses from Pallie! There are also lots of new wallets to choose from. For men, we have a special collection of shirts from 191 Unlimited. These Western-inspired button-ups are great. Also in the store we have lots of new knit hats from Pistil!

There's too much to show here...you'll have to come in! See you!

Men: Are You Geared up for Fall?

Hey guys, my name is Brett and I am the Stock Manager here at Sole Food and oversee everything that comes into the store. I am always on the lookout for unique and hip shoes for men.

It's officially fall! And while it doesn't feel like it at the moment, it will be getting much colder soon. Need not worry guys, we have you and your feet covered. There are lots of great fall styles in stock now. I would like to highlight a couple of shoes that caught my eye:

Rock Out with Your Vogs Out

This is the CBC shoe from John Fluevog. These new arrivals caught my attention the moment I took them out of the box. It's a shoe that would look equally awesome at home, in a board meeting or on the downtown streets. Check out the rad blue laces! (Don't worry, they come with a pair of brown laces if blue isn't your style). Made in Portugal with all leather uppers and liner, these shoes are made to last.

These Aren't Your Grand-Pappy's Wingtips

This is the Paul shoe from J Shoes. I already own a pair of J Shoes and I have been wearing them TO death. I couldn't wait to try these on. Like the John Fluevog's, they are classy, yet casual. This shoe would be a perfect companion for going out with the guys on the weekend, or going out on a date. Its oil-tanned leather upper will only look better with age (think Frye boots) and its re-soleable bottom will ensure a long life for the shoe. Like J Shoes? I recommend checking out the Mojave boot and the Kew slip-on (both of which can be found @ Sole Food right now).


If these shoes pique your interest, as they did mine, drop by the store so you can test them and our other fall styles out for yourself. Until next time...walk on!

It's raining men('s shoes)!

Hey guys (and gals) we're up for Best in Men's Shoes! And last time I checked we were in 2nd place, so help us out and vote! We do have great women's and children's shoes too...but we all know the guys in our lives could use a little boost in the shoe department :)

*Speaking of, new styles for guys just showed up from Camper, Tretorn, Hush Puppies and J Shoes!
