Store

Sole Food is easily the most colorful store in University Village. Every inch of wall space is adorned with children's and women's shoes in nearly every color of the spectrum. It's a great place to check out even if you're not in the market for a pair of hip shoes for your toddler.

And if you aren't, you may reconsider once you step inside Sole Food. Kids appreciate style as much as grown-ups do, and Sole Food's selection of imported and unique American shoes — brands include Primigi, New Balance and Elephanten — provide it in abundance.

And moms aren't left out: Sole Food stocks a terrific assortment of Paul Green, Uggs, Merrell and more. You'll also find purses, socks and jewelry for hipsters big and little.

Sole Food isn't cheap — children's shoes average $40 a pair, women's $70. But if you favor style and quality over price, Sole Food will put some colorful bounce in your step.
