Friendly shoe shop
Description
Friendly Shoe Shop does exactly what the name promises – custom leather shoes, sandals, boots, and bags built to your measurements, usually ready for a fitting the next morning. Bring photos or a printed design if you have something specific in mind (they can work from a reference far better than a verbal description). Lien and Hong run the floor and they will give you real opinions on materials and fit rather than just agreeing with whatever you say.
Highlights
Insider Tip
Print out your reference photos before you go - the team works much faster from a physical image than from you scrolling through your phone trying to describe what you want.
