Surprisingly comfy sandals!
I have only been to the Bulo Shoes store once in person. I live in the Chicago area and the rest of my purchases have been online. This recent pair of sandals was an impulse buy and they turned out to be the most comfortable shoes I have ever tried on. The story behind Woden shoes is very interesting and reinforces the idea of taking a chance on new brands.

Lightning speed shop & excellent seller communication
Well the Birks have yet to arrive, but I literally ordered last night & I have a tracking # with an anticipated delivery date, from the shipper, which is literally 2 days from now!
I have no doubt I’m gonna love my new Birks, cause I have several pairs… but the communication and prompt shipping is unparallel. I’ll definitely be shopping this website again.

The Joy of Shoe Shopping in a Real Store
Things that made the Bull experience great - the store location, the selection, the sale merch, the points/rewards system and, last but not least, Isaiah, who was knowledgeable, enthusiastic and very helpful.
Nothing like a good bricks and mortar shoe store!

Exceptional Experience Every Time!
We’ve visited Bulo Shoes in Hayes Valley several times, and every single experience has been exceptional. The team is always incredibly welcoming, professional, patient, and genuinely helpful.
A special thank you to Robert, who assisted us during our latest visit. He took the time to understand exactly what my husband was looking for and provided outstanding service from start to finish.
My husband absolutely loves his new shoes, and we left the store feeling confident in our purchase and appreciated as customers. It’s rare to find such consistently excellent customer service these days, and Bulo truly stands out.
Highly recommended—we’ll definitely be back!
