    Hmmm. So I was referred to by one of the senior military officers to come here to get shoes because essentially if you're running and you're feet/legs start to hurt or you get shin splints, you need new shoes. Now I've never personally understood what's so special about running shoes and usually just bought new balances or nikes with the tag line"running, track". I came around 30 mins before they closed, and a female helped me and the service wasn't anything too special. I told her what I wanted, she measured my feet, made me walk in a straight line, told me I had a neutral stance and I probably could use more of a cushion. She immediately found me three pairs of shoes to try out and one of them just felt perfect. She explained the difference between gel and foam shoes and how gel is better for such and such reasons. And even told me that the types of socks, dry-fit usually help with running long distances as well. I may change the review to a 5-star once I start running in these and see if it makes a difference. P.s. Thank you to whoever the manager was because the girl almost charged me $30 more. And you shall see me again if the shoes be popping.

    My awesome new shoes!

    I went here to get a sized hat since there was no other store. I tried on 3, never getting a good…read moreidea of fit because of 1, the security sensor and 2, its new. I asked if i could return this $28 hat if the sun wears out the color, to which they said No. Ok, well if this is the wrong size (my previous hat's tag was gone), may i return it? She asked if i was going to bend the brim, to which i said, of course, ill need to in order to have it fit. She then said No to that as well. Baffled, i said, then why do i need a receipt? She shrugs. 5 days later of limited usage, i had determined that it was the wrong fit. I called, got a different person, and asked for an exchange. She said as long as i have the receipt, sure. I take my way there and she changed her mind. Cant return it because it was worn and cant be resold. I said, of course i wore it, that is its function. THAT is what i bought it for and its clean, brim is not cracked, color is fresh, smells like a store, and this was 5 days ago! Do you not stand by your product? She repeats that she cant sell it. Knowing retail i inquired, Cant you damage it out and get credit from your vendor? Its unaltered and you alter hats here, perhaps you can take THIS one back because i had no customization done to it? She stands her ground. I stood there thinking, well it is a hat. It gets wear and tear almost immediately. But, a similar item to a hat is a shoe. Shoes, that meet the earth with every step, can typically be returned if theyre not badly worn. I compared shoes, hardly worn for 5 days, if they can be returned, and i know they can because chain stores want to keep customers satisfied. But..were talking a hat here...with a total of 10 min in 5 days of wear. I look at my receipt and see a lids.com. I kindly leave and get the customer service phone number from their site. LIDS.com did not question my return, did not deny my return, and apologized on this store's stingy policy. They sent me a fedex slip to send it back, free of charge, and gave me a refund. Mind you, i wanted an exchange. I wanted to give them my business, but because i had to go through this, to hell with that idea. If the cooperate number can issue a return, why cant the store? Pish posh. Im getting my money back and getting my sized hat on Amazon. Stay away from this store.

    This store sells HATS! Man, who doesn't need a HAT once in…read morea while? I LOVE hats....and you know where you can find one? AT LIDS! They have like every team from every sport and every size IN THE STORE..... So, if you're like....an Oakland A's fan....but you live in FLORIDA.... YOU CAN STILL GET an A's hat. And THAT rocks. Keep doing what you're doing, lids. Pish posh, indeed....whatever that means!
