Five Doors Up

Based on the website, I expected there to be more choices of Asics, but the selection was limited and a bit outdated. The prices are good, so if you do find something, you won’t overpay.

Similar to their sister store Wooly Mammoth in being pricey. When things are on sale they tend to be below $ 100 so that is good. The shoes are more trendy than their other store. I’ve gotten lots of shoes here because they are unique and cute.

The place for unique kicks in Seattle.

I purchased a pair of shoes from this store last week, and it was a good experience in all respects. They have shoes that are hip and fashionable and cool socks too. I like this shop because they have good prices, and the staff is real easy going. Last week, I tried on a bunch of shoes and the sales guy didn’t seem irritated at all when he had to put them all back for me. They don’t try to sell you stuff you aren’t interested in, unlike the sales people at the Mall.

Yay! A shoe store with quality merchandise, from heels to flats to sneakers in the right size for my tiny feet!
The sales people are really nice and friendly here. The shoes are fashionable. They even carry vegan shoes. Vegan! And I bought a pair (Saucony brand). Next time I need some shoes I will definitely look here first.

My boyfriend and I wandered in tonight ready to spend money on some shoes for him. We were the only costumers and were ignored completely throughout our shopping. We left and went to REI where it was crowded, yet two different sales people found the time to approach us and help my boyfriend pick out a great pair of shoes. I wouldn’t recommend going to Five Doors Up.

Schnazziest shoe store in town, lemme tell ya. This place has a great atmosphere – zippy music, bright clean colors, a skylight, for heaven’s sake!, and salesfolk who are always nice, even though they look super cool and kind of intimidating at first. And I haven’t even spoken of the shoes yet! The styles are right on the edge of trendy, the kind that don’t really go out of fashion but make you feel real in-​the-​know. The prices aren’t necessarily cheap, but you’re paying for quality, ya know, and you can almost always find that piece of eye candy that you can’t walk away without. And to top it all off, the salespeople are HOT HOT HOT!, which I say in a purely heterosexual manner. A girl can’t help but appreciate natural beauty, though, dontcha know.

Since petite people are extinct, let’s only carry shoes in sizes 7&up.

I was just in this joint today and shaDAMN! I do believe this is best shoe store in the city by far. These are shoes so good you start thinking about how eating Top Ramen for the rest of month really isn’t that bad, particularly if you had TWO new pairs of shoe. The sales girls were cute, friendly, and funny and you can tell that they really care about getting you into a pair of shoes you’ll love. I’ll be seeing you again soon Five Doors Up!

Cool shoes and nice store, but the staff could be a study in how to provide cold, ineffective, unfriendly service. They could set the industry standard. I wanted to try on a pair of Converse sneakers, but I couldn’t get the attention of either saleslady, as they were busy having a conversation. We left.

Cute shoes, cute hipster salespeople (and they’re friendly too), and when I stopped in yesterday they even had a selection of Frye boots!
They also have a really nice selection of mens shoes.

I usually end up looking inside because the bus stop is right in front. Their displays are so always clever, it’s hard to resist going inside.
This is the only place I’ve found that carries/​d women’s Sperry Top Siders in Seattle. Go boat shoes.

i found a great pair of pink shoes here last time i went in. bought it for 45 bux. wore them and they are super cute. yesterday, my heels were killing me (after a looong night out and not having gone home yet… dont ask) and i still have another 5 hours before i could get my tired self home-so…being already in the neighborhood AND passing a sign that said «yard sale» at the door on my way to eat phở down the street with a friend… i had to limp back up to 5 doors to check out their selection.
i was figuring on just buying havianas to get my toes through the day-​but what awaited me was a whole lotta bargains. 10 additional bux off any sale item over 19.95! i sat, tried shoes on (this should say something given my state of mind… and how bloated my feet were… but a shoe trooper never stops)
well, i found a pair of cute converse that were at 35 bux. not bad! minus the 10 bux and i bought a pair of sneakers i will be wearing out for casual days for only 9 bux more than i would have shelled out for flip flops.
that is too sweet and 5 doors rules for given me such great rescue shoes!
5 doors generally carries, pink, keds, kenzies and a couple of other brands. most of the shoes fall into the mary jane/​kitten heel category though-​so if you are much of a frankie/​bvidel fan, this store may have many great shoes for you to feast your eyes on.
pink sometimes makes shoes i relaly love, so 5 doors is always a store i like to hit up when i’m on the ave and bored.
the sales peeps have alwasy been really helpful and friendly here, which helps-​and you are helping a ind. store. awesome

Great customer service– really nice without being annoying. Heidi, the manager and buyer, stocks everything from Frey, Fly London, Kenneth Cole and Kenzie to Vans, Converse, Puma and PF Flyers.

Best shoe store in Seattle — period. Great sales, great staff, great selection, what else do you want in a shoe store? They even cater to the modest and the adventurous. If you’re looking for shoes, this is honestly a place you need to have on your list.
For me, what has me sold on them is the fact that they’re the only store in Seattle to carry Fly London, my favorite line. That alone is worth the 5 stars, leaving the other great things as a bonus.

I usually leave this place with a pair of shoes. I’ve come to accept this. It’s just the way it is.
«5 doors up» has the best (most reasonably priced) eclectic shoe selection in Seattle. They’ve got some obscure brands that you can’t find anywhere else and a pretty good sale wall. Lots of crazy looking shoes; some ‘not so crazy’ looking shoes as well. It’s like an going to a gallery where the the art for sale is affordable (most of it, anyway).
The staff is cool, music is good, and their hangbag/​jewelry selection ain’t too bad either.
One pair of Joseph Campbell Silver Skimmers sold.

The hipper version of Woolly Mammoth shoes (same owners according to a clerk) is just ‘5 doors up’ on University. If you’re into the hipster shoe scene this has what you’re looking for … Vans, Penguins, eccentric New Balances, etc. It’s all in one place and not a Keen or clog in sight!
It really has every shoe you never knew you always wanted and many more that might be a little too cool … thought that’s a matter of taste, I suppose.
The staff are friendly with a fun attitude and wear the shoes they sell, always a plus!

This shoe store has three walls packed with shoes from Vans to pumps for work. Very unique and extremely stylish shoes for pretty good prices. Go here for new winter boots and colorful sneeks to spice up any dull winter day!
