“I have had pain in my arches for the last 10 years and recently developed knee pain. Luis carefully evaluated my step and pain symptoms, and explained clearly how my high arches and over-pronating contributes to my pain. He provided recommendations on shoes and insoles, and then went the extra mile showing me exercises to prevent injury and build up strength in key areas impacted by my gait. This is EXACTLY what I was looking for and was the best orthotic / show buying experience I’ve ever had. Thank you Luis!”

1774 Solano Ave, Berkeley“Looking at the positive reviews for this store, I completely understand the enthusiasm. Miranda was absolutely exceptional in her knowledge and assistance today. I had a particular use-case for the shoes I was looking for, and she gave me several styles to try. She described them expertly, and answered all my specific questions about color and helped me find the exact pair I needed. The atmosphere was great- I could tell she was happy to be working there. She is a true seasoned professional, and made the shopping/purchasing experience positive and fun. The music that was on in the store was fantastic, too! They had a wide variety on rotation, and it wasn't just me singing to it, either! Thank you to all the staff who make the store experience what it is. I will definitely be recommending everyone go there if they need shoes, and a bit of good cheer!”
“Came here about two years ago to replace my old bearings and was just in recently. Both times had a great experience.- super chill vibes, great selection of boards and skate gear and they were really helpful and cool all around.”
“The awesome store has the perfect combination of great selection of quality shoes, and great staff! Brian listened carefully to what I was looking for, made excellent suggestions and educated me patiently while I made my decisions. Highly recommended!”
“Awesome little shop clean and well laid out. The employees were super attentive yet allowed for space of shopping as well. If your in the area and in need of a vans fix with all the current options stop in and grab a pair.”

2120 Vine St, Berkeley“I rarely write a review about anything. I think the only other time I've been on Yelp was to complain about a car dealership pre-Covid. This time it's to praise the quality of the shoes The Walk Shop offers. I have many shoes from your store and I'm ALWAYS pleased! Two days ago, I realized I have a trip coming up and needed a new pair of comfortable black, semi-dress shoes. The only store I even considered going to was The Walk Shop! Once I arrived, in less than 10 minutes, I selected several different options, tried them on in my size, made a decision and was done with my purchase. Turns out I needed them for an event yesterday, too, and ended up having to do ALOT of unexpected walking and tons of going up and down stairs. NO PROBLEM!! My legs weren't even tired and I'm almost 67 years old! The right shoes make ALL the difference! And I swear that your prices have barely increased in the last few years. Even if I'd paid more, they are worth every penny! A GREAT value for an excellent look and comfort! I'll be back!”
“The finest threads and boots operated by the most stylish people this side of the Mississippi. Ladies and gentlemen, this store simply exists in it's own weight class.”
“These folks have stuck with us through thick and thin, and they always have a great choice, lots to choose from and thoughtful and kind service. This is one of my favorite shops in Berkeley.”

1827 Fourth St, Berkeley“Always a pleasure to stroll 4th street with a bff and visit one of the most beautiful stores, Erica Tanov. The sales people are kind and gracious and yesterday was a pleasure to purchase 2 treasures that are functional, beautifully crafted and fun! Signed up for emails and received 15% off my purchase which made my day!”
“Luckily, I didn't know you could return at any North face store so I limited myself. Easily spent over an hour just checking the whole store out and found two jackets that fit what I was looking for and two other fun items I just liked. Four stars cuz their bathroom was broken... though that was probably good so I stopped shopping.”
“I was dumb and accidentally sent my online order to my old house. Madewell corporate deferred me to this store via phone since they were handling my order. So kind and helpful!!”
“Bows and Arrows in Berkeley is a hidden gem for fashion aficionados, and my recent visit only reinforced this belief. Stepping into the store is like entering a stylish oasis, with its carefully curated selection and inviting ambiance. What truly elevated my experience, however, was the impeccable service provided by the staff. The Asian gentleman with a mustache, who also happens to be incredibly handsome, went above and beyond to ensure my visit was nothing short of exceptional. His keen eye for style and attention to detail helped me find pieces that perfectly complemented my wardrobe. Beyond his expertise, his friendly demeanor and charm made the entire shopping experience a delight. Bows and Arrows is not just a store - it's an experience, and one that I eagerly look forward to returning to. If you're searching for both fashion-forward finds and top-notch service, look no further than Bows and Arrows. Trust me, you'll leave feeling as fabulous as ever.”
