About the Game

Share the shop with friends



A big mess is better with company. Choose from four characters and tackle the same shop together in online co-op for 2–4 players. Invite friends with a room code, spread out across the floor, and fill the shelves together. Prefer a quiet shift? The whole shop is yours to sort solo, too.

A floor full of sneakers. A place for every pair.



Welcome to Sole Mates, a relaxing shoe-sorting game where every match brings a little more order to the shop. Find matching shoes, check their model, color and size, and give each pair its place on the shelf. Play solo or share the work with friends in online co-op for 2–4 players.

2,160 pairs to sort. Empty shelves to fill. Take the shop from scattered shoes to neatly arranged rows, one pair at a time.

Find the match



Pick up a shoe and search the floor for its matching partner. Look for the same model, color and size: a left and a right that belong together. Bring them together with a satisfying click, and you have a pair ready for the shelf.

Every pair has one address



Read the model signs above the columns and the size labels on the shelves to find where your pair belongs. With 240 model-and-color combinations across 9 sizes, every pair has its own correct slot. Watch the empty racks fill as the floor clears beneath your feet.

Keep the handbook close



Need a reminder? Open the handbook right in your hands and turn through its pages. Check the matching rules and controls, then get back to finding the next pair.

Turn tidy shelves into helpful skills



Complete a column to earn a skill point, then open the handbook's skills page to choose an upgrade. Make your next round of matching, carrying and shelving a little easier.

  • Match Sense – Reveal the partner of the shoe you are holding.
  • Address Sense – Highlight the correct shelf slot for your pair.
  • Master's Hand – Place pairs on shelves from farther away.
  • Armful – Carry more pairs at once.
  • Magnet – Bring a matching single shoe straight to your hand.
  • Sprint – Move through the shop faster.

Settle into your own rhythm

No time limits. No fail state. Put on something you enjoy listening to and work through the shop at your own pace. Whether you sort alone or chat with friends while you work, there is always another pair to find—and another small piece of the mess put right.
