Cedros Soles

I’ve shopped in Cedros Soles for several years. Whenever my daughter is «in town» we make it a point to visit this store because we are (unfortunately) both «shoe people». Their selection is fantastic — gorgeous shoes — and many that you won’t see in mainstream stores. I’m always amazed that regardless of the shoe you select, they always seem to have your size. Their storeroom must be enormous!!! I read some of the reviews posted here, and several people commented on the «unfriendly» staff. I’ve found just the opposite to be true. Whenever we’ve been there we’re usually trying on multiple styles, with the salesperson bringing out 6 – 12 boxes of shoes. I’ve never experienced any attitude, but that might be because they know we are actually going to BUY something rather than just trying things on. I’ve always found the staff to be helpful and friendly.

I have shopped for my wife many times at this store and love their products I purchased a piece of lingerie on Monday and chose the wrong size I attempted to exchange it but was told that due that I had no receipt there would not accept the change. to me it was evident the underwear had not been worn but the person that helped did not want to accommodate the exchange. I find their customer service poor as it was an easy thing to do and I would not waste my time coming in with a unreasonable request for a cost of $ 29.00 to waste my time or being perceived as I was trying to cheat the store
Well live and learn don’t shop again at this store and look for gifts as if I make a mistake I own it.

I bought a Nixon watch from cedros soles a couple of months ago and one of the straps fell off. I brought it into the store and the staff was very helpful. They got me a brand new watch and I couldn’t be happier!

Cedros Soles is great… but it’s name can be a little deceiving as there’s more to this store than shoes. Lots more!
I actually discovered Cedros Soles last year when I attended a breast cancer fundraiser they were hosting. My girlfriend donated several paintings to the event so I was invited to partake in the festivities. I actually left with items from the store as well as items I was bidding on throughout the night. And judging my other friends purchases, I think it was a successful night for all.
Fast forward to present day. I had a lunch meeting nearby and decided to pop in to check out what they had. I remembered they had a great selection of Hobo purses and wallets and the Hobo purse that I purchased a year ago is something that I swear I can’t live without. They still had a great collection of purchases but nothing that I couldn’t live without — for now. Their collection of jewelry with the semi-​precious stones were AMAZING but were a bit on the pricey side. perhaps when I have a special occasion or looking for a specific look to complete an outfit, I’ll have to check out Cedros Soles.
In this most recent visit, I ended up walking out of the store with a hat and flip flops… yes, you know you live in Southern California when you’re buying flip flops in November. ;)
Service here was as great as I had experienced in my previous visit. If you have an afternoon to kill, walk up and down this street. there are tons of unique stores/​small businesses that are worthy of a visit. Especially Cedros Soles!

I love the merchandise– it is expensive but it is what it is… they are priced with the market. However, as others have mentioned, so this should come as no surprise– it is not what you’d call a ‘Welcoming Environment’. When I drop $ 300.00 for a pair of shoes, I expect some kind of customer service instead of the sales clerk fixing her hair in the mirror, chatting with her friends, or just ignoring my presence. And G-​d forbid you need another size– it is akin to asking for a pint of blood.
So, bottom line– cute merchandise but be prepared with the credit card because cute doesn’t come cheap. But more importantly– maybe just go in the back and help yourself because waiting around for service– you’re going to need to get comfortable. In this store the customer is not always right (or a priority, or really acknowledged).

I LOVE Cedros Soles… been shopping there for YEARS! It is always easy to find something irresitable to purchase, which they put in their FAMOUS pink polka dot bags! Great shoes, hats, clothing and GREAT employees! Everyone KNOWS and LOVES Cedros Soles!

I bought two expensive designer hats and the store was out of hat boxes. While the sales clerk was friendly and took my # to call me when the hat boxes came in, she never did. I returned and picked up the hat boxes. HUGE disappointment. Exceedingly cheap and flimsy hat boxes that looked like they were from WalMart vs. a box to hold an expensive designer hat. I realize hat boxes take up a lot of room but I cannot even use the boxes as they can’t be placed on top of each other in storage as they collapse and crush the hats.

I’ve often walked down cedros — only to peer in the windows of cedros soles… this past weekend, we had time to stop in… yes, they have some great merchandise, they also have some fab shoes… let me mention again, tons of fab shoes… I didn’t make a purchase… mainly because of the snarky staff… honestly will not ever go back, nor would I ever make a purchase… for me… shopping is fun… cedros soles is far from fun.

Love this store. What a fantastic selection of shoes, great diversity of selection by style and price. Offers extensive options for the SoCal wardrobe staple of sandals. The clothing selection is the secret, a thoughtful and completely wearable selection of casual wardrobe staples that are unique and beautiful. Fun jewelry options as well. Better than Utc cookie cutter clothing when you want to stand outas an individual.

This is one of my favorite store in San Diego. They sell a variety of great brands, different than what you find elsewhere. I particularly like their maxi dress selection and jeans, but they have a great pajamas section and lovely jewelry and scarves. They also have great shoes of course. The staff are so nice and they welcome dogs. Just a great place to shop.

Love the merchandise! The sales staff is helpful, however, not everyone working there attended the same training class… I purchased a pair of shoes only because I was told I could return them «gently worn» within 10 days for a store credit. When I returned them «gently worn» (I wore them to the car and back). I was told by the owner that they could only be «worn» on the carpet – and the mistake was mine. What is sad is she had an opportunity to build character and communicate to her staff their policies – instead she revealed her lack of character, and won the battle. Bottom line, «the customer is NOT always right», but «the customer is always a customer» …They just lost another customer.

The best spot to find racetrack hats! Such a good selection of large dressy hats and fascinators!

The staff was super helpful and very nice. The prices can be a little on the high side, but they are a small boutique that doesn’t have the benefits of buying super hugh batches of inventory. The selection of shoes is good, the shoes are very cute. I just wish they would new stuff in as far as shoes are concerned a little more often. I go to Cedros quite a bit, and the selection has stayed the same for a while now.

This is the best boutique ever! And I don’t know why the two negative nellies on Unilocal are getting all the attention, but in all the years I have shopped here, the staff are helpful, courteous and give great fashion advice… And the shoes– love their selection! They have a good balance between affordable and expensive, which some boutiques don’t always offer… And they have great sales as well. Doesnt matter your age or style, they have something everyone! It’s the best!

Great little shoe boutique in Solana Beach! Thank you on behalf of the Rancho Santa Fe Unit of Rady Children’s Hospital Auxiliary.

Its time to celebrate the shoe store. As one of the cuter shoe stores in Solana Beach, Cedros Sole gets honorable mention. They have cute styles, great brands from Europe (I mean, Emma Hope, its like a dream come true) along with a variety of causal every day shoes suited for beach, work, or play.
The staff is friendly, easy to work with, and kind without being overbearing. In the back, they have a cute card shop and some cute clothing. But the shoes are why you come to this store — lots of sizes, cute styles — the north county needs more stores commited to the pursuit of cute feet. A find, check it out if you have just the slightest shoe fetish.
