Sole Sisters

I hear ya sista about no cash refunds. I bought a shirt there, 80.00 and when I went to take it back the next day I could only do store credit. I was not told that when I purchased it. They have cute stuff but they are a bit expensive. I will never buy anything again there before trying it on first. Store credit only??? REALLY!!!

Their website has been down for 6 months…

Cool store

HOLY COW I love this store!
They always have unique items that you won’t find in the more trendy stores, and that is always appealing to me. The jewelry is very reasonably priced too. They staff is so friendly and they are great at making suggestions once they get a feel for your style. I am never disappointed by this store, and I only wish the prices were a bit lower, but hey, it’s a boutique and they aren’t carrying junk so I can’t really complain too loudly. If you like boutique shopping and going away from the norm of the large department stores, give this place a try.

Great store with some fun, unique merchandise. Interesting jewelry. Nice variety of price points, but mostly I find things there for my two college/​highschool age daughters. Some really fun purses and accessories too.

Meh.
I feel like I go in here every few months hoping to find a knockout item, and I pretty much just feel like, «Well, maybe next time.» The staff is pretty distracted and uninterested: not rude, just rather indifferent to your presence.
The inventory is fine. There are some cute items, but nothing that seems special enough to splurge on. I don’t why I keep coming back, but I do, just hoping that one of these days I’ll find just the right thing on the sale rack, or a bag that really sings to me.
I just feel like a lot of the items there don’t hold up under closer inspection, which would be fine if they were cheapy Pitaya items, but not if they’re at the prices here. The one exception are Frye boots, which I believe are well made and definitely worthy of a splurge. I just haven’t found any here that I loved.

I am VERY VERY disappointed with this store. I was at Arts, beats and eats yesterday 9−1−12 And I bought a very simple ring that said «Love» in gems. It was $ 42.00, In my opinion not a «only wear once ring». Well I get home, and realize one of the Gems is missing ALREADY in not even a 24 hour period! I see that their is a no return on Jewelry on the receipt, However it was 42 dollars and I get to wear it for a 7 hours? I call Soul Sisters and all they say is they have a strict no return policy. She was very unhelpful and didn’t offer to speak with the manager or anything. They didn’t have the same ring and even if they did why would I want to exchange it? So it can happen again? Needless to say I WILL NEVER SHOP at Soul sisters in Royal oak again. Very unhelpful, and not understanding. I bet if they spent 42 dollars on a ring that lost a gem in 7 hours from their store, they’d return it!

GARBAGE! This place is a waste! The staff blows and so does the owner! Umm over priced junk! Umm 350 for a pair of no name shoes made in china?!? No thanks I’ll go to neimans or saks!!! Keep you shitty junkie store and low budget junk!!!

What’s so special about Sole Sisters? I can’t tell whether the store is trying to be a clothing store, an accessories boutique, or a shoe shop. Not a good sign — I like my shoe boutiques much as I do books: either an extensive collection a la DSW dripping with details or a finely edited, slender book of poetry that begs me to find my heart. Sole Sisters is neither Pablo Neruda or Neil Stephenson for me, which is a shame. I wanted to like them much more than I do.
After dropping in finally during Arts, Beats and Eats, I flitted through the shop examining just about every boot and shoe they had. First impressions of the stock: it is limited and primarily focused, at least this season, on rustic, cowboy-​like boots and shoes that don’t suit my aesthetic. I love equestrian boots as much as the next girl but nothing of that nature was in stock. I was disappointed by the price point they fly at (expensive) and the range. Fry’s boots are present, a plus (but you can get them much cheaper at Nordstrom Rack); other brands are far less recognizable to the average fashionista, and are worth checking against ShopStyle and other resources if you can’t find your size.
I found the arrangement of t-​shirts and other bits very distracting. I would rather have a pure shoe store with the odd handbag rather than bits and bobs from all over the place. Maybe I just don’t appreciate the narrative.
I’ve gone back twice since and found little to anything to stoke my interest. I suppose it’s to Stiletto Fetish, the Rack, and Stella with me.
A few good deals can be scored in the back of the shop, usually for under $ 50. Cute sandals were on sale for $ 20 but nothing left in my size, which is usually the case.

This has quickly become one of my favorite places to shop for shoes. I had always meant to check it out when I drove through Royal Oak on my way to my favorite boutique, Flair. SO happy I did! Their selection is very unique, and they have great discounts on shoes from previous seasons. Sure, the prices are high, but the brands are great and sell for even more online.
I ended up walking out with two pairs of boots when I hadn’t even been looking for anything in particular. I receive so many compliments on them, and they were so worth what I paid. I highly recommend this boutique!

I love this Nirvana! I am THE shoe-​aholic (In Rehab) which means no more than 2 pair of shoes per month! Everytime I step in this store my minds goes boonkers because the ecclectic selection of shoes that they have! I love it !

I always manage to score a great find at this location.
I recently (June 2010) scored a pair of Francesco Morichetti black suede mules at more than 50% off. They are very Chanel-​eqsue, and something you’d be likely to find in the pages of an Anthropologie catalog.
Their shoes are for the local, boutique-​y girl who appreciates quality and can recognize lesser known and European brands. And while their shoes and handbags can run on the expensive side, its reasonable for the quality you’re buying.

Unique and very trendy (think leopard fur thick soled boots) shoes and boots and some accessories (bags and scarves, exotic hosiery) are here. I like some with some pizazz so my eye always leads me in here. But I don’t own a pair of Sole Sisters shoes, just some accessories. The new product they get in they may have 5 different pairs, if someone buys your demographic (7 please?) that’s it. Also the new shoes are kinda pricey. The prices don’t start to look decent until they have reached the back shelf and by then they only have size 5’s (doll-​like footed women?) and maybe a size 12.

Hmm… I am a little uncertain about this store. I have came here a few times and have always leave here empty-​handed. Why? Well, the prices to me are ridiculous. I do admit they have some very nice shoes and boots, but I could honestly find something better and more modern for a cheaper price somewhere else. Seriously, everything I liked was over $ 100…even for a simple ballet flat. If you have the money to splurge… go for it! Today I again left empty-​handed, although I eyed these Softinos shoes for a very long time…

Preface: I would give them a 3.5 stars if I could.
go sister, sole sister… the staff bumps it up to a 4. I came here looking for boots (in January) and they had selection– just not a wide variation within their selection. A lot of their boots looked like a slight replica of another one.
perhaps it was a bad year for their buyer.
I had a really enjoyable conversation with the sales girl. She understood what I was looking for, but also apologized saying that they just didn’t have it, but gave me some names of other places I should look. I like that kind of honesty in sales people and that sister just earned her store another trip back in my book.

I stroll down Washington Ave and decide to check shoes for wife-​san. I see very very sexy shoe in window that was must to look at. They have large selection of shoes and I thought to surprise my better half with new set. Ah, so surprised she was :) score points BIGTIME with this one.
Highly recommend shoe here. Friendly staff make pleasant experience. Now I cannot wait until wife wears these shoes *shiver* oh so sexy! Do not want to forget about nice jewelry pieces as well… very nice.

I’m not a fan of manmade materials (that aren’t meant to be vegan, anyway), nor products made in China, so unfortunately I didn’t find too much here to excite me. They carry Kork-​Ease shoes, which are awesome platform sandals made in Brazil, but I could not find any in my size: P
It’s hard to shop with a social conscience sometimes.

Cute lil boutique type shoe spot! They even have handbags, other accessories, and some clothing.
I bought a cute pair of flats for $ 30 (which my dog chewed up 2 weeks later, that’s another story), but there is an eclectic styles of shoes to choose from.
Now not all the shoes are that price, I’d say 90% is pretty pricey.
The employees were very welcoming and helpful. I can never get enough of the Nordstrom customer service…

Really cute for a small shoe store! I miss these kinds of stores, I don’t like going to the mall so much. They have a good unique shoe collection. The store is chock full of stuff to go through. They even have a $ 10 bin of shirts to go through! They carry hand bags and clutches too.
The staff is really nice a friendly, they make sure to check in with you to see if your doing alright. Good service.
You can also arrange to have a shoe party here. You reserve an evening from 7−9pm, invite all your friends. Enjoy refreshments provided by Sole Sisters and then all of you receive 10% off and then the host receives 10% of the sales towards free merchandise. A pretty cool idea!

A good option for shoes if the mall does not interest you. They a have fun, funky selection of shoes that Nordstrom’s or the mall does not offer you. Sole sisters also have a nice option of handbags. The only con is that they are a little expensive for shoes made in China.
