They have the best, unique and nostalgic designs for their clothing, it's hard not to love! This shop is very cutely kept on the inside and all of the workers I have met there have been extremely nice, personable, and helpful. I always look forward to the big sales at this location, and every time I have gone I've been so impressed -even in all of the chaos with so many shoppers at once for the sale, the workers always keep it so neat and organized, and everyone is happy and friendly and helpful!

I grew up in Erie and love to brag about how awesome it is to people that either don't agree or have never been there. I'm so happy that I can now sport my love all over town and down to Pittsburgh, where I live now. It was a really hard decision, as there's a lot to choose from. The majority of their tees are unisex, although they have a couple women's tanks. All tops are super soft material. I'm currently sitting in my cosy "It's okay to love Erie" sweatshirt. The prices aren't bad either. Ranging from about $20-45 depending on whether you want a tee, longsleeve top or tee. I was surprised that although the majority of products are Erie based, they have a huge selection of Cleveland sports apparel too. I'm going to take a wild guess and say the owners might be Cleveland fans. There's a smaller selection of Pittsburgh sports paraphernalia and even some general Pittsburgh tees. I got the sweatshirt, an "Erie is for lovers" tee for myself, a cool Cleveland Browns tee for my hubby (I know, shameful when you live in Pgh) and a little tee for my son that says "I'm ERIEsistable" because, dah. I was VERY tempted to buy the Erie skyline canvas, but I felt like I was already pushing the wallet on this visit. I figure I can always request some special busy from my parents for xmas! But I can't wait to go back for myself... LOVE this store and everyone who loves Erie needs to visit. If you can't visit, you can easily shop online!

You see many responses to the post, asking for the price, but you don't see a response. I recently commented to a person inquiring about the price, that they don't post or respond to price.

I was diagnosed with bilateral posterior tibialis tendonitis and was limping. After my first visit…read moreto UPMC REHAB SERVICES with Alisa Miller, PT (who is the best therapist I've ever met), I was recommended to go to Achilles Running Shop in the West Erie Plaza, Erie Pa. Alisa said; "Go there. They're really great. I just bought my stability sneakers there two days ago. Tell them I sent you, and I believe they give you a discount." Well, I was never a runner and never heard of the place, even though I've been to the Plaza many times to other stores. Previously, both my husband and I were loyal customers to Erie Shoe Fly/Meeker Marshall on upper Peach. My husband gets his steel toe work boots there, our sneakers, and my orthopedic S.A.S. shoes as well. These S.A.S. shoes were NOT helping this time at all with stability, even with my Powerstep blue insoles I got from there. I am a very active, 60 year old, retired Registered Nurse, who has worked in direct bedside nursing for 36 years, and have chronic, constant joint pain in my hips, a prior lumbar fusion, and now this affliction! Ouch. Needless to say, I was skeptical someone would be able to help me. I'm no "runner" or athlete". I'm a mature, retired person. So, I looked imtheir store up online and read their reviews. Frankly, some were not-so-great, dating back to 2017. But since my PT recommended the place, I decided to go. My friend and I went into the store on February 26, 2025. Right away, we noticed the store was immaculately clean, and had a ton of really attractive looking shoes. We were immediately greeted by a younger, warm and friendly associate named Kim K., who saw me limping as I began to tell her my story. She immediately knew what to do, and set off bringing me at least 10 to 12 different pairs of shoes. I needed special insoles too, and she brought me these orange colored, Powerstep Plus insoles with the "met pads" for metatarsal relief for my fallen arches. Ooh, those feel nice! A big drawback was they didn't have my size in stock for the insole. Apparently, the most popular women's size is 9-9.5 and they sell out quickly. I ended up purchasing a pair of Hoka Bondi 9 stability sneakers. They are SO attractive with all black cloth uppers, white logos, and a thick white bottom. I am so used to my "old lady shoes"---the S.A.S. shoes, lovingly termed by me, due to all smooth, leather uppers and the rounded toes. I always feel self-conscious when wearing them. These shoes are very nice looking and feel PHENOMENAL. I am also going back to get the Hoka in all white, because I need a second pair for summer that will be able to stay clean. These sneakers are easy to wipe off and stay clean. I hate wearing shoes that stain easily and look dirty. My PT told me I am going to need to wear these shoes all day, every day, for the rest of my life, due to my fallen arches. That is why I am getting two different pair. I am very impressed with the padded running mat that circles the store, which made it super easy to try out your shoes. And, they have this incredible, huge, arc shaped bench, with a thick, "temper pedic" style, gel cushion on the bench. With my back issues, it was extremely comfortable when my feet were in such pain. Thank you very much to the person who designed that mat and bench idea. Kim K. was so compassionate and patient with both of our questions, and was just determined to get me some relief. Sorry, Shoe Fly. Besides my husband's work boots--- you probably lost two loyal customers. Go to Achilles Running Shop in the West Erie Plaza in Erie, PA. Yes, they are over one hundred dollars, but so are all the support shoes at Erie Shoe Fly. They are WELL WORTH THE MONEY to help with pain. Also, they DO offer a 15% discount if you're are sent there by your physical therapist or doctor. They also offer a 15% active military and veteran discount, which my husband is. It's really comforting to know there are caring and knowledgeable staff right here in Erie to take care of our runners, younger athletes, AND us older folks with injuries and pain issues. Thank you very, very much, Kim K.! A very satisfied customer, Mrs. Janine Utegg

Prices drop progressively as noted on the colored price tags (this helps keep inventory moving and is an excellent practice for thrift stores). The inventory selection was my biggest complaint. There was little in terms of practical goods (appliances, kitchen, electronics) heavy bent towards womens items (clothing, purses, bric-a-brac). This may merely reflect what people are donating, but it could also be an inventory collection, processing, or pricing issue.
