This is the best out of the three locations in Allentown IMO and the staff here aren't just…read morefriendly when you walk in and check out but are also cheerful when you return a purchase! I love the policy of being able to order online and return to any store - but the stores aren't always happy with that because it affects their sales total. But this place did not make me feel uncomfortable when I did have to return a pair of shoes. For that, 5 stars! Famous Footwear has an online store too in addition to their brick-and-mortars and they carry most national brands and everything from socks, sandals, to sneakers, running shoes, fashion boots, and even steel toe shoes. Lots of socks as well as cushions and insoles for your shoes - and bonus because they had the coiled slip-ons (over your regular shoes) to help with walking on slick/iced/slippery surfaces in the winter. If they don't have it they can search the inventory of nearby stores or order it for you online.

Update: Last week I had the pleasure of meeting Brianna and Monica (the week prior, Chrissy…read moreassisted me with so many things!). Yes, I was at DSW twice in two weeks. Well, those of you who read my reviews and know I travel via auto often; know I have a good memory of places with clean restrooms. Weird but true. That's initially why I went into DSW on Thursday. I also wasn't feeling well and needed to go to a couple stores. It was a joy to see Katrina again - and to meet Monica! They gave me advice (because I asked) about how to wear brown over-the-knee designer CLEARANCE boots and we talked... They are so welcoming and gracious. The previous week (when Chrissy assisted me) I was able to talk with the manager, Jess. The entire team is really hard-working and attentive.

You can also order online and if you need to make a return, you can either ship it back or return to a physical location of your choice.

I'm not sure if this is a training store or it's just plain cursed. Unless they do something to improve, I'd avoid this store.

She just called today (11/19) to see if they had come in yet and the guy didn't even send the order off! He said that he was waiting to see if they were going to get other Christmas orders and just send it off that way. So basically he lied to us (again) and we are most likely not going to get the boots before Christmas. This happened to us last year too. We ended up not getting the boots until 3 months later! This by far is the worst store ever! Poorly managed, employees lie to you, its just a big bunch of bs from these people. You think that if you would have a store, you would want to please your customers but apparently not this store. IT SUCKS!

They have the fancy foot scanning stuff so they can tell you what is up with your arches or what's down with your arches. The shoe people don't work on commission or anything so whatever shoes are recommending to you. It's based on the fact that the shoes are what your feet need based on the scan. The employees are always super, super helpful and super knowledgeable, and they also have a wide array of orthotics, braces, and workout gear. Wearing the right shoe is going to be the biggest value possible to your feet long-term. Make your feet happy and get them the correct sneakers and don't just wear the shoes that you think are going to benefit your feet turns out I'm often wrong. My feet are much happier now. Plus they have an app so you can get points and stuff just like add a big chain store but you're still shopping local.

They had a great selection of shoes and went through a detailed fitting process to make sure I had shoes that were comfortable for my feet. I ended up going with a shoe they didn't have the size or color in stock that I wanted, and they weren't sure if it could be ordered. I ended up getting a phone call 2 days later that the shoes I wanted had already arrived and were available for me to pick up that same day! Very impressed by how quick they were able to get them in. Would highly recommend aardvark to anyone.
