Seattle's Sole Food

Located between Seattle’s downtown area and the city’s modern neighborhoods, Sole Food caters to families and fashion-forward women alike. “We try to cater to everyone,” says store manager/buyer Annie Gutierrez. The boutique vibe offers customers something a little different from the dark colors and Northwestern styles typically found in the area. “This year, color is big for us,” adds Gutierrez. “We sold a lot of bright red, mustard yellow and blue.”

Laura T-Strap by Camper

Price:

Retails for $159.90

Why it’s a Top Seller:

“It’s a wedge with a gel bottom, which makes it really cushy. It’s also got a very bendable sole, which makes it comfortable for people who don’t normally wear heels. The shoe’s retro styling also makes it appealing; it’s kind of an updated version of a ’50s shoe. It’s definitely one of those shoes that you’ll always want at eye level in your closet.”

Tang by Indigo Shoes by Clarks

Price:

Retails for $99.90

Why it’s a Top Seller:

“It’s a peep-toe slingback wedge, so it’s adjustable in fit. It also has a wood wedge which really stands out and makes it really springy. It’s a great everyday style and [Indigo] does a really good job of making their heels flexible—you could wear this all day. If you’re looking for a comfortable heel, this would be your summer shoe.”

Lisa Lee by Gentle Souls by Kenneth Cole

Price:

Retails for $199

Why it’s a Top Seller:

“The upper is a dressy patent leather and the wedge is also patent leather, so the whole construction looks very clean—this is a great cocktail party shoe. It also features a footbed with flaxseed memory pillows, so it’s a really comfortable cushion that absorbs around your foot; it feels like the shoe is already broken in for you.”

Aida by Think!

Price:

Retails for $289

Why it’s a Top Seller:

“It has a 2-inch wood heel with a closed toe and a buckled ankle strap. It’s definitely a professional look with a cleaner silhouette. It has a distinctive look with the rounded-up toe and the cut in the leather—it’s a work shoe for the woman who likes an edgier shoe than your basic black pump.”

Ada Two-Piece Buckle by Frye

Price:

Retails for $149.90

Why it’s a Top Seller:

“It’s a lower, 2-inch heel and it’s got a cute little buckle over the peep toe. This one’s very vintage-y and looks great with anything from skinny jeans and a funky top to dressed up for an event. I have these in royal blue, and they really stand out and pop as an accessory. This is an all year, all season kind of shoe.”
