Look out for all them hills!

Pumps, platforms, stilettos or even your favorite pair of boots should always be considered when packing for a trip. You never know when you will need to dress to impress. If you have filled your suitcase with these flattering options, this post may be worth reading. Although I'm sure you look great in your spiffy going-out-shoes, these hills are just not meant for heels. But, there is no need to pack a pair of sneakers. San Francisco is teeming with small and large boutiques selling awesome and comfortable Nikes, Adidas, Vans, Oasics and more. A few good spots to check out are as follows:

The Huf shoe store on Hayes street. Located amidst boutiques selling designer brands, Huf displays walls of sneakers, most of which are brightly colored with neon or checkers. The guys at Huff with surely help you out of your heels and into something a little more comfortable, SF style.

Shoe Biz has many locations around San Francisco. I recommend the Shoe Biz on Valencia or Haight Street as they are super friendly and both have a huge variety of sneakers to choose from. The Valencia location is in a converted house with a working oven next to the cash register! Maybe you will be lucky and catch some homemade chocolate chip cookies baking in the oven as you pay for your new kicks.
