True to Sole

Budapest sneaker and streetwear retailer specializing in authentic shoes, limited releases, clothing, and shoe-care accessories.

About True to Sole

True to Sole began in Budapest in late 2019 as a resale shop focused on sneakers and streetwear. Its first location gave way in 2020 to a larger space on Régi Posta Street; in October 2024, the business moved to Petőfi Sándor Street 17. Those openings and moves trace the growth of a company that combines a physical store with an online shop.

Footwear anchors much of the catalog. Nike, Jordan, adidas, New Balance, ASICS, Puma, Salomon, UGG, and other labels appear among the brands the company carries. The range includes regular releases and limited-availability drops, along with models sought by collectors. Shoppers can browse by brand and sneaker type, which helps when looking for a particular silhouette or collaboration.

Clothing broadens the selection into streetwear and contemporary fashion. The shop carries T-shirts, sweatshirts, pants, shorts, socks, and caps, with labels such as Essentials, Broken Planet, Casablanca, Denim Tears, Sp5der, and Travis Scott Merch. It also has kids’ and designer-clothing sections, so the catalog extends beyond sneakers and a single age group.

Accessories add a practical dimension: shoelaces, shoe-cleaning and care products, sunglasses, keychains, and other extras. At a sneaker-focused store, these items let customers maintain or personalize a pair as well as buy a new one. The website groups accessories by use and links them to the main footwear and apparel categories.

The company says its products are authentic and sourced through an international network of partners specializing in sneakers and streetwear. Provenance is central to resale, where it can be difficult to distinguish an original item from a counterfeit at a glance. True to Sole describes its store and customer-service staff as knowledgeable about sneaker culture and available to answer product questions.

The store is in a pedestrian area downtown and a few minutes’ walk from the Deák tér metro station, according to the company’s directions. The shop accepts cash and card payments in Hungarian forints; online orders follow a separate shipping and payment process. The site maintains FAQs about orders, returns, and delivery.

True to Sole brings a physical store and an online retailer together in Budapest, serving customers in Hungary and other European markets. Its appeal lies in combining sneakers, streetwear, and limited releases in a catalog that is easy to browse by brand and category. Visitors can look through inventory in person, while online shoppers can find order details and customer-service support on the site.
