Pskaufman

Wow! Great place, great people and even better boots and shoes! I was in here for an event they had a few months back called «dance church» and was blessed enough to meet the designer and have a chat with him. His product knowledge is out of this world good and his product are outstanding beautiful and so brilliant… I have been back here non stop since the my first visit to the gallery/​studio for art show openings, dinners, and so other really fun events, I’m also a proud owner of and pair of Pskaufman shoes and a pair of boots:) his design has defiantly put a extra pep in my step! A big thanks to Paul and his wonderful team for taking such good care of my soles and bringing a lil extra night life to my world XOXO

I want to start with pointing out how difficult it can be to shop for shoes when you have wider than average feet. Finding something that fits is hard enough. Finding something that fits comfortably AND is fashion forward is near impossible. Or it was…
As a hair stylist, I’m constantly on my feet. But I also need to look presentable. And being in San Francisco means I rack a lot of miles up on my shoes. Pskaufman’s are the only shoes I have found that can accommodate 10+ hour days on my feet and make me look good doing it.
I went from having one or two pair of shoes that I could bear wearing to having eight pair of Pskaufman’s for every occasion.
They are dynamic, stylish, and comfortable. My gratitude is endless. Thank you so much!!!

The space is equally as amazing as the handmade boots! I have 4 pair and they are the MOST COMFORTABLE boots i own. Each time I stop in I have a great time chatting with the designer Paul Kaufman (who’s a legend himself) or enjoy checking out the latest artist’s work in their newly opened gallery space. The shop displays the shoes in such an unique manner. it’s definitely one of downtown LA’s most intriguing stores.
The retail space showcases the designer’s cool finds and collectibles, as wells as art and accessories from around the world. Each shoe is pure GENIUS! the details alone always win me over, but the comfort is what seals the deal. The shop is new to the downtown community and I’d love to see it flourish as it is the definition of a hidden gem, located down an alley in a basement «below the floorboards» as they say
I’ll forever return to Pskaufman when i need a badass boot!
