Paul has style and Paul knows boots. Pskaufman is a beautiful, eclectic shop with a lot of other accessories and art to choose from and admire. His boots are worth the more than reasonable investment, and will have people stopping you to ask where you got them for many years to come. If you have the chance to see an art show or live music there, even better. read more

Most amazing boots EVER and the coolest store shopping experience to boot (pun intended). I get more compliments on my Pskaufman than on any other shoes I own. Cannot recommend highly enough. read more

I'm on my second pair. These are heirloom quality boots for rebels leaving nobody behind. Their quality and comfort are only surpassed by their striking looks-- I have pointed toe Chelsea boots and polished Derby's, which draw equal attention. PS Kaufman goes all the way in making the most extreme version of the shoe they set out to make, with Goodyear wefting, hand stitching and an amazing footbed. I only wear PS Kaufman. You probably should follow suit. read more

Pskaufman - Shoe Stores Near Me - Los Angeles, California

This place is one of LA's hidden treasures; I want to buy everything here. The quality, uniqueness, and comfort of the boots/shoes are addicting, making you always wanting more (especially if you're following their Instagram page). Make sure you get a chance to chat with Paul. He is a genuine and knowledgeable cobbler, a creative genius. He and this store deserve all the 5-star reviews. read more

I want to start with pointing out how difficult it can be to shop for shoes when you have wider than average feet. Finding something that fits is hard enough. Finding something that fits comfortably AND is fashion forward is near impossible. Or it was... As a hair stylist, I'm constantly on my feet. But I also need to look presentable. And being in San Francisco means I rack a lot of miles up on my shoes. Pskaufman's are the only shoes I have found that can accommodate 10+ hour days on my feet and make me look good doing it. I went from having one or two pair of shoes that I could bear wearing to having eight pair of Pskaufman's for every occasion. They are dynamic, stylish, and comfortable. My gratitude is endless. Thank you so much!!! read more

Pskaufman - One of my favorites! - Shoe Stores Near Me - Los Angeles, California

I walk the same way to work every day and I never knew that this shop was here. The shop in itself is totally beautiful. You can tell the owner is a creative-type person- an artist- someone with a great eye. The boots here are made by someone who is a master at their craft. I am the kind of person whose feet always hurt because I wear the worst shoes. These are the opposite of the junk I wear- they have the most comfortable linings and springy rubber soles. In an age where things are built to be disposable this place is anachronistic. You can tell this is top quality stuff and thoughtfully designed- in a way you usually only find in vintage footwear. I will come back when I have more time to try stuff on. A true DTLA gem. Check out this shop if you want to see the neighborhood from the view of a local. read more

The space is equally as amazing as the handmade boots! I have 4 pair and they are the MOST COMFORTABLE boots i own. Each time I stop in I have a great time chatting with the designer Paul Kaufman (who's a legend himself) or enjoy checking out the latest artist's work in their newly opened gallery space. The shop displays the shoes in such an unique manner. it's definitely one of downtown LA's most intriguing stores. The retail space showcases the designer's cool finds and collectibles, as wells as art and accessories from around the world. Each shoe is pure GENIUS! the details alone always win me over, but the comfort is what seals the deal. The shop is new to the downtown community and I'd love to see it flourish as it is the definition of a hidden gem, located down an alley in a basement "below the floorboards" as they say I'll forever return to Pskaufman when i need a badass boot! read more

See all

Awesome and unique shoes! Verrry confusing to find because the maps on your phone will take to the side. It's down an alley way and then you'll see the store! Call once you arrive so they can let you in!!! read more

I'm unused to wearing boots, so Taylor, the awesomely helpful and patient shoe expert on staff helped me try on multiple sizes of every boot and shoe I liked, and in the end I left with two pair. They also helped me with the polish to keep the leather maintained (though not remotely needed), and even some color polish cuz I wanted to add some purple to the sheen (yeah. i can be particular). Btw, if you're headed to the shop, call first. They might be able to help you with parking. Yeah, these cats are cool and the shoes and boots are awesome. read more

They're not just shoes - it's an entire concept. Sara is an amazing and inspiring assistant. Paul himself is genuinely one of the most knowledgeable people cobblers I've ever met. His keen eye for design is always churning out interesting innovative things. I got donated twelve pairs of shoes and replaced them with one pair of Chelsea's. Never felt better. The space itself is artful and stunning, worth a visit just for the experience. Do it. do it do it. read more

Wow! Great place, great people and even better boots and shoes! I was in here for an event they had a few months back called "dance church" and was blessed enough to meet the designer and have a chat with him. His product knowledge is out of this world good and his product are outstanding beautiful and so brilliant... I have been back here non stop since the my first visit to the gallery/studio for art show openings, dinners, and so other really fun events, I'm also a proud owner of and pair of Pskaufman shoes and a pair of boots:) his design has defiantly put a extra pep in my step!! A big thanks to Paul and his wonderful team for taking such good care of my soles and bringing a lil extra night life to my world XOXO read more

Pskaufman - Boots boots and more boots - Shoe Stores Near Me - Los Angeles, California

This is my favorite shoe brand of all time. This magical boutique is exactly what you would expect of their artistic designs. They are meticulously made and artistically designed. They took the time to make sure the pairs I purchased fit perfectly. I will be back! read more

Really, for me PSKaufman shoes are as good as they get - limited-edition edgy looks, excellent materials and a very comfortable fit, all at a very reasonable price. I have 2 pairs of shoes and 2 pairs of boots, and it never surprises me to have strangers on the street approach me about these incredible shoes whenever I have them on. I love them! read more

I came here after seeing a colleague of mine wearing shoes by this brand, and since I was only a few blocks away I ducked in after work. The entire store is wonderful--it's a slightly labyrinthine artsy set up in a basement, tucked away from the crush of downtown. What seemed like one room turned into several, and each of them had not only a wonderful array of shoes, but art and props, as well as jewelry and bags. The whole place had a curated touch of clutter to it, which I found really refreshing after the minimalist trend. The saleswoman was really helpful and easy-going--she let me poke around to my heart's delight, and explained the displays as necessary, which included some unique pairs that were being sold after use in photoshoots. The shoes were all gorgeous, and the owner spoke to me with enthusiasm about how they're made and how his decades of experience informed his decisions--without up-selling or being at all overbearing. I don't leave Yelp reviews unless I really enjoyed the experience and the product, and I definitely did here. The shoes I ultimately bought were a steal on sale, have been incredibly comfortable from day one, and come with leather conditioner and information with how to contact them if I have any follow up concerns. read more
