About Us

Sole Terra Shoes, formerly known as Shoes on Solano, has been a trusted name in the San Francisco Bay Area since 1988. With retail stores in Berkeley and Rockridge Oakland, we specialize in fashion comfort shoes, driven by our philosophy to “serve our communities with outstanding fashion, without compromising comfort.”

We offer superior quality, innovative women comfort shoes that feel as good as they look, along with accessories from brands committed to environmental responsibility. Our handpicked selections reflect our dedication to both comfort and style, perfectly complementing every aspect of your lifestyle.

Our exclusive Sole Terra brand was born from the belief that women deserve footwear that looks good and feels good. We developed unique styles handcrafted by the best artisans in Portugal and Spain, using our SF Bay Area stores as a ‘laboratory.’ This approach made Sole Terra Shoes the top-selling brand in each of our stores. Customers love our soft Italian glove leathers, supportive leather-lined insoles, and unique, high-quality details. Each season, we offer limited-edition collections that embody our “Comfort in Style” philosophy.

Customer feedback has enabled us to expand our offerings, including casual and chic comfort sandals, dress shoes, walking shoes, and sneakers handcrafted in Spain. Embracing the California lifestyle, our versatile designs transition seamlessly from work to play or special occasions, providing all-day and night comfort and style.

In addition to our exclusive Sole Terra brand, we feature a wide variety of quality brands excelling in fashion comfort shoes for both women and men, such as Dansko, Birkenstock, Born, Olukai, Teva, Taos, Wolky and Sofft, just to name a few. While our shoes may not be the only ones in your wardrobe, we’re confident they’ll become your favorites.
