In the end I decided the Bearpaw were just as comfy and fancy enough for me. The bathrooms require you to find a person - fyi. If you join the club you get 15% off! If they send me a coupon I will come back to find a certain shoe or sift through the clearance racks;)

They have extended and revitalized the life of older, expensive Italian boots and shoes that I 're-discovered' in the back of my closet, making them appear brand new, current and remain super comfortable.

I've always had an incredible experience here and this time it was thanks to Marcos. We came in to…read morefind shoes for my mother-in-law, and the level of care he provided was truly exceptional! Marcos was incredibly patient and genuinely caring throughout the entire process. He noticed my mother-in-law was wearing a 7.5 wide and although it was a good fit, suggested an 8 wide instead to better accommodate her feet. And it was! She felt more balance and less tension and it showed on the treadmill when she was able to increase her MPH. He didn't just stop at the size, though; he performed a full walking analysis and constantly monitored her stride to ensure the fit was perfect. Even though the store was incredibly busy, Marcos never rushed us. He must have gone back and forth to the stockroom at least a dozen times to pull different options, knowing full well we were only there to buy one pair. He personally swapped her insoles into every single shoe she tried on--and we probably went through about 8 different pairs in various sizes. His expertise really shines when he talks about the technical side of things, like toe-gap and overall comfortability. On top of the technical fit, he has a great eye for aesthetics; he picked out colors that perfectly matched my mother-in-law's personal style. It's rare to find this kind of dedicated service. We will definitely be coming back to see Marcos when it's time to get shoes for my wife!

Seeing that there was already a large group trying on shoes that both of the employees were helping, I was expecting to have to wait awhile to be helped which was fine (especially since I had 4 pairs to exchange and knew that would take some time). However we were only browsing for a few minutes when Carisa, one of the store leaders, paused to welcome us in and asked if there was anything we needed. I explained the exchanges I was looking to do, and she quickly grabbed me what they had in store for me to try and similar styles for what they didn't have an exact match of. After helping me, she noticed my husband had a pair in hand and offered to grab him sizes as well. She gave us advice on sizing and checked in multiple times while still assisting the other employee with the large group. While my Husband was trying on his shoes, Carisa rang up my exchanges (which included ordering multiple pairs that were only online) and made everything so seamless. She was so kind and helpful, and we left with 2 more pairs than we were expecting to. We will definitely be returning to this location!

I bought Jordan 4 black canvas in July and I found out they actually cost $210 (retail cost) alone…read more At the time the seller told me he would sell the shoes for $450 but they charged me around $568 however the receipt doesn't tell me what the extra charge was. Didn't say if it was taxes or shipping. They told me the estimated time for arrival was supposed to be a week but even after two weeks nothing arrived. We texted the seller as well as called and he never picked up until we tried from a different phone number in which the seller told us that it was ready for pick up, but by this point we just wanted a refund. We sent a claim to the bank and when the bank tried to investigate the store told the bank that the shoes were picked up in store during purchase but that's not true. So we called the seller again and he said that the shoes were in store and sitting in the stock room with no name or information of the client. I know that in Macys if the merchandise is not picked up within two months that the employees can keep whatever was bought. That might be the case here as well. This is after two months as well. I decided I'll just go to the store and pick them up despite the fact that the store is 3 hours away. When I asked why there was extra chargers they told me it was due to taxes but the taxes said 0 then they back tracked saying it was shipping except they never did ship it or refund the shipping cost.They never were able to explain why the extra charges were made. The manager ended up calling the original seller who apparently had told me that the shipping cost was because they shipped the shoes from their LA store to the Walnut Creek store and that it would cost me more which is ridiculous considering the library doesn't even charge for that. They didn't tell me that I would be charged for between stores. The cherry on top is that the shoes are creased, and I was charged an extra $118. An extra 118??? Despite being so inconvenienced by the situation?? Don't buy from them, they are poorly managed, very unprofessional and a scam. This has caused me so much stress, and it was supposed to be a happy occasion as it is a gift for my son. This has also caused him stress since he knows about the whole situation.
