Great selection, open space to walk around while trying shoes on. The staff gal was SO helpful. I was coming from San Jo' and got there right when they closed, but she allowed me to run in, she helped me for 15 minutes trying shoes on, no impatience, no annoyance, just help.
I bought three pairs :) Thanks Foot Worship! -

This is THE place to come for stripper heels and sexy outfits. The employees are friendly and helpful and they have a huge selection of shoes. Its hard to find small sizes in the clothing section since those usually sell the fastest.
Their prices are a little steep but I'd rather support my local vendors than buy online. Also, you want to try on these kind of shoes before buying. Check this place out before you go anywhere else for heels and skimpy outfits. -

Sexy starts at your head with beautiful hair and and ends at your toes - you have to have pretty feet! Foot Worship provides the opportunity to try on your favorite sexy heel and boot brands like Pleaser and Ellie before you buy them. Purchasing from here benefits a local mom and pop instead of purchasing from some random online vendor.
I love to buy shoes here because if they do not have the color combination or size I want, they can order it for me for free! I also have to try the shoes on and walk in them. Some heels are meant for a short walk. . . in the bedroom and others are meant to be worn for a wild night out on the town! The only way you can tell which is which is to try them on and walk through the store.
The other beauty of trying shoes on here? Nothing is more pathetic than seeing some dork try to walk in 2" platforms with 6-8 inch heels. That is not sexy. Try on the shoes and the boots, walk around and see how you feel in the shoes. Sexy is from head to toe - if you are struggling to walk, get a lower platform or skip the platform altogether but make sure your walk in those heels are sexy or pick something else!
You may find that once you don the perfect sexy shoes - you create new names for the persona that matches the sexy heels you are wearing. I do that all the time!
The drawback: I wish they had more variety of leather boots because the ones I have are custom made. I did order two pairs from here that I love, but I need custom fitting. It would be a dream come true if they had a cobbler available to adjust the width of boots because I have small ankles and thighs. I would love to have off the rack boots that were custom fitted to my legs. I like my leather either form fitting or tight. Baggy, crinkled, or loose leather is not sexy to me.
The owner is so nice, the staff are efficient and friendly, I am never pressured to buy anything, and there is sometimes parking on the street by the shop or you can park at the paid lot off Polk Street.
Those are the reasons I love this place. Oh and the name of this place, but you probably already guessed that! Be sexy for yourself, and then consider doing it for you partner as well!
Foot Worship, thank you for keeping my feet sexy for almost two decades that I have been shopping here.

I used to live in the Tenderloin and Foot Worship was one of the neighborhood shops I loved to visit. The clientele is so wide ranging! Mitchell Brother's folk, all sexes and genders of performers from around town, trannies from the neighborhood, moms, any age range and size of lady and girl, old dudes, young dudes - everybody likes sexy shoes!
There are so many shoes represented here and if you want to buy sexy shoes for whatever reason - it's a much better idea to do it in person, as opposed to online, as you'll want double check the fit. Plus the prices here are reasonable and no shipping cost and you'll be supporting a local SF shop.
And... the owner is such an interesting and intelligent man - I just like coming by to chat with him! He once told me a story of a performer named Sequoia who danced at the O'Farrell Theater. He said Sequoia was over six feet tall and had a special customer who used to come by to watch her perform on the regular as he was facinated by her height. Apparently the customer said to Sequoia one day, "You are perfect. The only way you could be more perfect is if you were even taller." So Sequoia told him that could happen if he made a visit to Foot Worship and asked for the tallest shoe in stock and mentioned her name as the owner was familiar with her sizing already. The man did so and was apparently overjoyed with his purchase. Happy endings are good.
ps: I know it's already been mentioned but the reinforcement cap additions the owner designed for shoe heels is pure genius. Usually heels on very high shoes tend to wear out quickly if you actually put your full weight on them much, so many people just use the balls of their feet and resist leaning back. Oww! The heel cap reinforces the heel so it can bear your weight and last. Way easier to dance, prance and pose! Awesome! -

I am a normal, college-educated woman who does not want to work as an exotic dancer and does not play one on TV. But... okay, I decided to get a pair of Lucite stripper shoes. Just for fun. Right? I mean, I'm 33 years old and I am a good person. I don't smoke, drink, do drugs and I've never been arrested. What's the harm in wearing 6 inch heels for sex with a long term boyfriend?
So I went to Foot Worship (and Felicity's Fetiche upstairs), and I was really surprised how nice everyone was. The shop owner and I started talking and it turns out we are both UC Berkeley Alumni. We chatted about March Madness and the NCAA and Jeff Tedford and the BCS system... He is this older man in his 50's and I'm probably 20 years younger. And we have all this graphic, sexual shoes and outfits hanging out around us... You would have thought that it would have been awkward or sleazy. But no! It was a totally nice, pleasant conversation.
Plus, the shoes are surprisingly comfortable. No kidding. They look really scary and tall, but you could really walk in them. (Or at least around the bedroom, to the kitchen and bathroom and back.) And a simple pair of sandals was only $50.
I would TOTALLY go back to Foot Worship. I just need to find more occasions to wear my 6 inch Lucite heels. I can't buy several pairs. They take up a lot more room for storage than my normal shoes... -

I love stores like this. Now I'm not saying I'm in to anything like that ( or maybe I am), but upon walking in here with Miss. Veronica for some lucite heels for a up coming show I was quite happy to see all the shoes they carry. I'm a fan of thigh high myself, and there are many to choose from. They also have a nice selection up stairs of clothing that contains minimal amounts of fabric for easy access.
We took a seat on the couch and tried on some gold heels. They fit well, on Miss. V not me, and we also helped a nice young 20 something out on straps or fully in closed toe. I, as a straight male, put in my 2 cents with strap's. And by the way she ways strutting up and down while looking in the mirror she worked at one of the, as I call them, Adult Frustration Clubs.
The staff was cool and the place is roomy and open. Miss V was giddy with her new gold heels. I'm going to tell my girl friends and some "performers" I know to stop by here. If you want some stuff to make your man or woman drool, stop here. I can guarantee they will be very happy you did. -

I should have reviewed this place AGES ago... Let me start by saying that, upon seeing my entire shoe collection, all in one place, my mother turned to me and said, "I should have named you Imelda."
Keeping that in mind, walking into Foot Worship was like dying and going to heaven for a shoe whore like me. I tend to gravitate towards the sexy, the spiky, the strappy, and the very very tall when it comes to buying shoes, and Foot Worship fits the bill and then some. The staff was helpful AND polite, the selection was wide enough to make me smile and laugh giddily, and the shoes I bought there have held up very nicely...
As a matter of fact... I'm thinking it may be time for a repeat visit. ;) -

Everytime I've been to Foot Worship I've had a great experience. On my most recent trip, I was frantically trying to get to the store before they closed. Bridge traffic made the 15 minute trip from Oakland almost an hour, resulting in my arriving just 2 minutes after they had closed. I decided to try going in anyhow, hoping they might let me peruse quickly since I had a specific shoe in mind.
The moment I walked in the door my frazzled state was squelched by the employee and owner's calm and friendly demeanor. They did not rush me at all, and gave me great sizing advice.
I walked out with an awesome pair of 6" stilettos which are quite comfortable and exactly what I was looking for. Including tax, they came in at about $53.
A good thing to know about Foot Worship:
The gentleman who owns the shop also designed an awesome tip that can be added to stilettos. It provides greater stability if you don't mind slightly compromising appearance for comfort, and I do mean slightly.
Pros:
Great comfortable sexy shoes
Friendly and helpful staff
Good pricing
Stiletto stability tip (I have no idea what they call it)
Cons:
none! -

"Does this shoe make my foot look fat?"
"I need to come up with an outfit to match these shoes!"
No, those aren't random comments of my girlfriend. Those are literally the first two thoughts that popped in my head once I was wearing my newly acquired 6" strappy sandals.
It's not easy to find size 12 heels. Yet, when a girl dared me after making her walk 8 blocks in her 3" shoes, I stepped up for the challenge. None of the stores on Haight St. had the size or style that I was looking for. It wasn't until I asked my third tranny while clubbing that I was told where I needed to go.
I'll be taking them out on the town tomorrow, but I just wanted to recommend this store to any guy who wants to explore his feminine side, or at least learn a little bit of empathy and understanding for the fairer sex. Besides, my feet look hot in heels :) -

For a store that sells 6-8" heels, vinyl thigh high boots, and a good variety of naughty costumes I was very surprised to see how clean and bright it was. If it weren't for all the glitter and vinyl, I would have thought I was in a regular old shoe store.
The staff here was very accommodating and let me try on a good ten pairs of shoes before I settled on my 6" glittery heels.Listed in: Debauchery

Gotta love a store where you can find glow-in-the-dark 6" Lucite heels!! This place has a decent selection of shoes...dancing shoes that is. And upstairs...well there are costumes galore - slutty marine sergeant chick to butterfly princess...whatever floats your boat.
The most useful thing I've found is that they will order any shoe that you need and turn around time is fast.
And no boys...I'm not a stripper...just a girl who loves to get her sfactor on!! ;) -

Okay, so maybe i'm *not* a normal, college-educated woman. i don't know a damn thing about sports, and couldn't care less (i'm an abnormal, still-in-college woman, as it turns out).
i was on the kinda-hopeless quest for a pair of ballet boots.
Yes, *this* kind of ballet boots:
http://www.alternative...
Why do i like ballet boots? Where am i going to *wear* said boots?
That's up to you to figure out.
Anyhow, i never ended up buying - i couldn't afford it, due simply to the fact that i'm poor as fuck - but this place provided a great, *great* experience! They patiently let me try on a variety of boots, and damn, but the selection and service were amazingly excellent! Good stuff.
i love this place, i really do. A fetishist's paradise. -

They have more than a decent selection here. My submissive wanted a pair of ballet boots because, well, she's a masochist. The people there were very friendly and chatted with us as she tried on various sizes. Unlike Madame S, they actuall had the smaller sizes she needed.
The atmosphere was clean and friendly and the people were very open and respectful. We will probably be back. -

The last thing you'll find here are Birkenstocks and penny loafers . . . this is the place to come if you're in the market for ruby red stillettos in size 14, vinyl leopard thigh-high boots, or lucite mules. The stock may not be practical for most shoppers, but at least it's good for a giggle.

How do you like your heels? Have you ever thought to yourself "how ho can I go?" Do you find yourself inexplicably drawn to shoes with no less than a 4"-6" heel or that zip up to your knee or thigh? Do you appreciate shoes that make statements and all of them are naughty?
Do you live for "these boots are made for walking" moments where not only do the boots do the walking they also do some of talking?
Yeah me too.
This little boutique is a place to unleash your inner stripper style. And there is no discrimination here! Ladies, ladies of the evening and gentlemen they carry sizes from 5 to 15!!!!!! As any good drag queen/ tranny can tell you even in a city as welcoming to all types as San Francisco, finding sexy shoes can be a bitch. My drag sister is a size 13. If you want an idea what her typical selection is, go look at that size next time your near Payless or Ross. Sad. But here not only were the owner and staff extremely patient and helpful with her, she was able to purchase thigh high black vinyl boots with zippers and buckles and gold with clear lucite stilettos that would make Pam Anderson or Shauna Sand proud. All of this luxury was $255. The selection of shoes ran from strappy to funky to fetish (i.e. if you didn't do pointe don't bother honey). They also provide stablizers for your spiky heel for just $10. My friend was giddy with her saucy purchase and I couldn't blame her as she twirled in the crosswalk clutching her shopping bags on the way to show them off. I will be back soon for my own uplifting shoe moment. Highly recommended. Trust. -

If you're in the market for shoes with 8" heels that make your legs look a mile long... or thing high vinyls platforms, this is THE place to go. You can even custom order a pair of boots if they are too long or too small. So boys... if you're looking to go drag you should definitely come here.

Downstairs of "Felicity's Fetiche," this is the place to go if you're looking for clear high heels! I've been struggling to meet my pageant requirement of 4" clear heels but after calling them in advance, they assured me that I would find my size and style. And yup! I did. They had a great selection of clear heels in every height, with or without the hooker-esque platform.. and to my surprise the soles were nicely padded, comfy yet still elegant. Owner was very friendly and helpful with sizing.. ~$50 well spent. Was in a rush, but I'd love to come back to see all the sexy fits they stocked upstairs!

Initially I would have given this place 3 stars but the "ouch" department of this boutique was way too fascinating. Good place to find shoes to go with that sexy Halloween outfit you bought (and are trying to lose weight to fit into, or is that just me?).

The folks at foot worship are thoroughly helpful and friendly. I am a size 4.5 and was able to find a variety of styles in size 5. I still need cushioning, but the staff was able to give helpful hints on what styles work best with small feet, what cushioning to add, and punched extra holes in the straps for more secure fastening. The selection is substantial and ordering from the catalogue is also an option. It's also a very nicely laid out store and not trashy as these places can be.
