The Sneakery

IN THIS FEATURE: Introduction Focus Focus II Vitals

he hip, urban feel of The Sneakery, which is found on a quiet, unremarkable neighborhood street, likely comes from the owner, a Los Angeles transplant who loves the slower pace of Seattle, but clearly enjoys fashionable footwear. Not just for the “SK8ER BOI” with DC skater sneaks, the selection is a little retro, so moms and dads will geek out on Converse while teens and kids worship Euro-style Golas.

Shoppers are giving this store fantastic reviews on sites like Yelp, where one person called the staff “super chill”, and another shopper handed out big points because of the equal floor space for men and women’s styles.

Also, if you don’t budget ample time to check out the huge selection of socks while you’re here, you’re a heel.

Here’s a direct quote from a shopping review blog. “Diana” describes her love for The Sneakery:

“The Sneakery is a beautiful place in an ugly world full of open toed, 3-inch healed torture chambers. They stock all manner of Adidas and Saucony Originals, Golas, Converse, Fred Perry, and KANGAROOS even...among others. And a full selection of Western Chief galoshes in mama and mini-hero sizes. Picked up a new pair of froggy boots and Chucks for the boy at 25% off. Pure sneaker love.”
