Celina has helped me select the right shoes in more than one occasion. She has a great sense of style and a friendly and engaging sales presence. I'll look for her again when I shop in GP. And the 20% off sale was a bonus. read more

A store is only as good as the people who work there. Celina who works at Gravity Pope on West 4th is an outstanding sales associate. She is kind, knowledgeable, patient, and will go an extra mile to have you leave the store with something right for you. Her job is clearly not a chore! look for her every time I go there. She is special. read more

Be very careful when shopping at this store! There exchange policy sucks pretty bad. I received an expensive sweatshirt for Christmas that didn't fit so wanted to exchange for a bigger size but was told I was out of luck as it was past their poultry 3 week limit for exchange. Needl to say I will not be shopping there in future. read more

Fatima and Monica go above and beyond. Great service 10/10. Picked up some new dress shoes and their service was top notch

Aw gravity pope a Canadian institution for sure. If you are looking for the unique, unusual, or fabulous then this is where you should head first! I was in with my friend Jen and we dreamed and swooned over the latest fall fashions and both determined that their Hunter boot selection was top notch! Be prepared to drop a few bills on shoes as most don't come cheap, however if you are a shoe fanatic like we are then I am sure you will agree that there is no price on luv! I do need to make a comment on their shoe promo's THEY SUCK! you never have a deal that makes me want to participate.. like the current selection of buy two pairs get a third free... umm the average consumer wont or cant afford to spend 500 smackers for two pairs of shoes just to get a third free! read more

Gravitypope - Shoe Stores Near Me - Vancouver, British Columbia

I got into big, bad, naughty trouble at Gravity Pope. A few short minutes after they had rung up my purchases, I got a text from my husband, the abbreviated version of which was "WTF??!!" Yeah, I went nuts. My bad. But let me just say that Gravity Pope is one of the best shoe stores that I have ever visited, and as I slipped on two beautiful pairs of shoes that fit my feet like gloves, I knew that there was no turning back. They have such a vast selection and they are all SO good (remember the episode of S&theC in which Carrie goes into the shoe closet at Vogue? Kind of like that). The styles vary from casual to dressy to in-between. Well, that was back in April, and the shoes I bought there have been all over this city to the finest events, and they are still, hands-down, my favorite shoes that I have purchased this year, and they always get comments. Please, Gravity Pope, never open a store in San Francisco - I don't want to get into trouble again! (Pssst please open a store in San Francisco). read more

Gravitypope - Shoe Stores Near Me - Vancouver, British Columbia

I happened to help my brother's girlfriend find a perfect pair of shoes online as they're the only ones who carry these shoes in Vancouver then. My brother and I have paid for the shoes online, called them and they told us to come back the next day for pickup; they happen to have a pair on hold the next day for another customer, but they failed to release the merch to us because the assistant manager put it on hold for himself (little did i know he is the customer who put the shoes on hold for himself!) and he's the 'assistant manager', We told him that we drove from Langley to pick up the paid shoes. So pissed that I asked for a refund and a future discount, only to find out they said, they will talk to their main manager for a discount. LOL - But the assistant manager was able to cop out a pair for himself right there and then?!. He was scowling and very rude to us and even talked down to my brother the entire time and proceeded to yell at him to get out of the store because he was acknowledging his frustration. If you're in retail -- at least be helpful. This happened on December 22 at 7pm. Obviously, I wasn't getting anywhere with him, he was exuding negativity that I left, pissed off Excuse me, I'm the customer, show some a little respect there. Went home pissed off. Never again. Their online store sucks (and they're not even a high-end store) This store assistant manager is very rude to us - it's like we are inconveniencing him to actually work. To the manager, you are very welcome to message me and I can give you the full details to what happened. read more

I bought an Officine Creative wallet from this store less than 8 months ago and ended up taking it back to have it repaired less than 3 months later because the glue inside was falling apart. 2 more months go by and the edges started unfolding. I dropped the wallet off a second time asking for either an in-store credit or to have my defective wallet exchanged for a functional one that wouldn't fall apart after 6 months of use. Ahem... After waiting nearly a week for a response from this store, I was called and told that this was considered normal wear and tear. "Normal wear and tear?!" I was also told that this repair would be covered by Gravity Pope but nothing in the future. Perhaps I'm being unreasonable but I spent $150 on this wallet and if I had to buy a new one every 6 months, I'd have nothing left to put into said wallet. As someone who lives in Kitsilano and spends more time than the average person shopping on W.4th I was left feeling pretty disappointed at the level of service provided by the employees at Gravity Pope and even further disappointed by the quality of their Officine Creative wallets. Shame :( read more

My experience with Ellix at the 73 Water street location today was amazing! They were very helpful and knowledgeable! I was discouraged when the dr martens I placed on hold weren't fitting me properly but Ellix was able to recommend a similar style that fit much better. Great experience! read more

The only reason I gave two stars and not one, is the shoes. Their Kits store is seriously drool-worthy for shoe lovers like myself. They have a great selection of high quality and unique shows for women and men. To put it simply, their service is AWFUL. Twenty-something hipster sales associates mope around, like teenagers who have been grounded for the weekend. The handful of times I have shopped there, I have been completely ignored, even when it wasn't very busy at all. On my last visit, they were out of stock in my size and the associate told me he would order the shoes in for me and call me when they arrived. He scribbled down my name and phone number on a crumpled piece of paper. It's been over 6 weeks and I haven't heard anything. I swear, the only thing worse than over-zealous sales associates is those who don't give a rat's a$$. If I am going to drop hundreds of dollars on a pair of shoes, I expect the service to be excellent. I won't be going back because they simply don't deserve my hard-earned money! read more

I've heard that when some people visit a casino, they bring a fixed amount of cash and then give their credit and ATM cards to a friend so that they don't go crazy and lose all their money. If you are a woman, and you have feet, you might consider the same approach at Gravity Pope. Because once you walk in and see the Temple of Beautiful Shoes, all arranged on a table in the middle of the store, you will realize that all that stands between you and the perfect, happy life you have always dreamed of is a pair of knee high, buttery-soft boots with stitching and details unlike anything you have ever seen. Then you will discreetly pick up the boot, and flip it over, and notice a 4-figure price tag. Yes, shoes can cost more than $1,000 (see how educational it is to shop here? I seriously did NOT know that was possible until I walked in here). So you will continue to casually browse, with a steady pace that does not betray your broken heart, picking up successive pairs of shockingly gorgeous, and even more shockingly expensive shoes, until you reach the end of the table. In the course of this ooh! aaah! ooh!-athon, you will have touched somewhere between 5 and 50 pairs of shoes the cost between $400-$1300 dollars, and you will have begun to consider whether your work at the kitten orphanage really is that meaningful, or whether perhaps the world could function just as well if you sold out and became an investment banker. Then you will reach the table at the back, where there are some shoes that are also very very nice, though perhaps not quite as life-changing as the shoes on the middle table, and so you will brave further heartbreak by peering into a pair of loafers or flipping over a sweet little pair of mary janes. You will see that these shoes are a modest $270, and while they are not exactly what you might say you *need*, they are quite lovely, and probably you would get quite a lot of wear out of a pair of banana-yellow open-toed spectators. And $270, that is a bargain, isn't it? This is when you should thank your friend for taking all but $100 from your wallet, and if you find yourself absolutely unable to leave the store without a new pair of shoes, turn your eyes to the handful of Pumas and Keds and other plebe-level shoes that are tucked away here and there along the back edges of the store. Nothing special at all, but you can't help but feel that maybe they've gotten classed up a bit just from sitting so near those Chie Miharas all day. If you are a shoe worshipper, this is the closest thing to a religious experience that Vancouver can offer. Just remember that it may demand a blood sacrifice. read more

This place is such a rip-off, even their shoes on sale are priced higher than anywhere else in Canada. My friend and I have agreed never to come here again because we've been burned too many times, buying cute shoes and then seeing them for wayyyy less somewhere else. That said, selection is good (buyer knows what's up), service is good. Again, I hate wasting money. I don't mind paying retail prices. I do mind paying retail +15%. read more

This is a dangerous place. I could just stop my review right there and those in the know of this most-excellent shoe store would know exactly what I am talking about. But for those that don't, let me explain. This is a high-end collection of beautiful, primarily Italian, shoe wear for men and woman. They carry classic English loafers from Church, to stunning Chelsea Boots from my favourite Italian designer and manufacturer Officine (pronounced like "fettuccine" with an o") Creative, to more playful casual sneakers from Common Projects. So why the danger? This store will coax your credit card out of your wallet like a Vegas magician, and leaving you slightly bewildered but with a stunning good pair of shoes on your feet and other pair in the box under your arm. Such are the shopping vagaries that occur to one on setting foot in this shop (not unlike the eyewear shop Spectus, just 2 doors to the west). P.s. FYI, I'll often pick up more expensive, "out of my budget", pairs on the sales that they often have. Life is kind to those feet that wait... read more

It's Vegas for shoe lovers, beware. Nowhere else in Vancouver, or Canada or dare I say the US, will you find such a massive and diverse selection of footwear ranging from urban sneaks to rubber and wooly winter boots to the finest Italian leather foot candy available. Hard to find brands like Trippen, Cydwoq, Coclico, Zeha Berlin, Moma, Chie Mihara, Repetto and Fiorentini & Baker tease with their gorgeous hand-made silhouettes. Be prepared to spend time here, and if you want attentive service, come later in the day or the evening as it is very busy mid day and on weekends. It takes time to peruse the entire collection, and a little known fact to the impatient customer waiting for their salesperson to emerge from the back is that the opulent and inviting store space does not have an equally opulent back room - shoes are stored in compact shelving due to the sheer quantity. Exercise some patience - it takes time to find the perfect pair. Recommended is the website - here you can peruse the collection for styles of interest, take notes and inquire at the store. Stock is spread between the Vancouver location and the Calgary & Edmonton stores. Regular priced merch can be transferred free of charge - sale items need to be pre-paid. I dream of obtaining my mile long wish list filled with rare and artistic shapes. The average sturdy European designed and made boot/shoe ranges from $300 to $600 - these are investment pieces. But there is also a good selection of shoes for under $200, mainly made in China. You can buy Toms and Keds and Hunters here too... Layaway is the saviour of the shoe obsessed - stash your size and pay within 40 days on a 20% deposit. Jody the manager is outstanding. I have always had good experiences with the staff here. I spend most of my money at this store. Who needs groceries? A Vancouver institution and a dream filled with beautiful shoes. read more

I wasn't ever really into shoes... That is, until I discovered Gravity Pope!!! Let's just say that I'm into understated, practical, well-crafted footwear. I'm all about simplicity, nothing too flashy, not too much heel, although not entirely casual, either. Gravity Pope carries well-known quality brands, such as Kodiak, Tretorn, Hunter, Sperry, Doc Martens, Blundstone, Native, along with many, many others. My recently purchased Tretorns keep my feet dry while still looking put-together. The pair of pricey (yet understandably stylish) Kodiak boots have been worn almost every day for 8 months every year, for the past 3 years... so much that I've completely worn down the heels, and replaced the heel so that I can continue wearing them for years to come! The service is top notch, not pushy, just helpful. My experience is always positive. Definitely ask the salespeople their opinion if you are unsure between two pairs, for instance. They know their stuff! Plus they are fashion savvy and super knowledgeable about shoes. Despite certain seasonal sale items, the prices are pretty high... But just think of how much you will wear the pair, especially if they are practical! OMG shoes... read more

Gravity Pope wants my money. Fortunately for them, they usually succeed in getting it. Short of me not going in, there's pretty much nothing that will stop me from leaving the store without at least hemming and hawing over a brand-spanking new pair of delicious kicks. The selection is that good. But be prepared for it, these babies don't come cheap. Here's the way I see it: in a city that sometimes falls short when it comes to a more unique and varied selection of shoes, Gravity Pope is one shop where I'm willing to lay down the dough. read more

Let me start by saying - this is NOT a review about Gravity Pope's shoes. I love their stock and whoever is the buyer is doing a bang-up job. I was in the Kits store about 10 days ago looking for some new summer flats. The store was busy and I had to wait a bit until I flagged down a sales person. I worked retail for years, so I know how harried staff can feel. However, the fellow who was helping me repeatedly forgot what size I needed, what shoe I wanted to try, and at times I felt like he forgot me altogether. After waiting around for close to twenty minutes to try anything on, I found a pair of Tom's I liked. Unfortunately my size wasn't available. Okay, fine. The nice thing about Gravity Pope is that they have an online store that usually has more stock available. I mentioned this to the guy "helping" me and he was pretty dismissive as to whether or not the online store would have what I needed. He never offered to check for me. By that time my parking meter was up and so was my patience. Back at home, I went online & voila! - my size was not only available, but I found a color I liked even better than the one in the store. I ordered the Tom's, plus a pair of Frye sandals. That was 9 days ago. I finally got an email a few days ago from G.P. saying that the order had been filled and I would get an email when it had shipped. Still waiting. Someone should tell the folks at G.P. that the convenience of online shopping is SEVERELY diminished when it takes forever and a day for the store to get it together enough to pack & ship the darn shoes. ***Update. My shoes arrived today. 12 days from order to delivery - most of which was spent waiting for GP to package them. But.....I LOVE THEM....so I'm going to up my initial 2 star rating to a 3*** read more

Great selection on shoes and the service is fantastic. The shoes are all really good quality and if you find a sale, I'd go right away!

Excellent selection, swift service. Also found true love with a girl. I entered the store, nimbly slipping between a double-stroller the width of a Humvee and a dog the size of a small horse. At first I was worried I had slipped from 4th avenue and through the looking glass into a world of gargantuan oddities. There is probably a vast and marvellous selection of all colours and animal hides, I almost considered 'browsing' but that kind of behaviour is for the weak-willed and indecisive. A dashing young chap arrived to assist me. I described the hue and material requirements for the pair of shoes which would enrich my life. Lo-and-behold. He returned with a box in his clutch and warming smile. He passed the test that 3 other shoe stores had failed at. "Perhaps you could squeeze into a smaller size" is the kind of attitude that leads to the binding of feet. Bring me what I desire! A fair haired and soft featured femme who processed my payment had an easy-going, unpretentious aura. Eyes so wide I could fall into them and become lost forever, it is one of life's great rarities to experience a beauty so pure yet understated that for just one second the entire meaning of the universe became clear. She also told me there was 15% off. She stole my heart. When one of my three pairs of shoes needs replacing, it will be from Gravity Pope. read more

I love shoes. Good shoes, and beautiful things for your feet seldom come cheap. Enter Gravity Pope at your own risk because it is a virtual temple of shoes, and at least one pair is bound to be in just your size and colour, and maybe even your price range. I could tell you about the brands they carry, although frankly my memory is hazy because I was on a mission, a pilgrimage for a line Gravity Pope seemed to carry exclusively in Canada - Irish pattern designer Orla Kiely's collaboration with Clarks. I have a feeling this isn't the only instance of a rare shoe being available in Canada thanks to this store. The exact shoe I wanted wasn't actually in stock in my size at the store, but with the helpful staff's guidance, I was able to order from the store's website and have it shipped. (They will also bring in any pair of shoes from their other stores for you to try on, with no obligation, but since I don't live in the neighbourhood and I pretty much knew what I wanted, it was easier to just have it delivered.) I love the Gravity Pope, and my pretty new sandals, although it is probably better that I don't live nearby, lest I worship too often. read more

This is my first review on Yelp and I'm writing it for this particular store because the staff there have always gone above and beyond my expectations. Everyone is friendly and very helpful. Even during my first visit, I was impressed with the way they attended to me despite looking like someone who wouldn't normally shop there. Now I'm afraid I'll be coming back too often! Keep in mind, some of the items are a little more high end but you're paying for quality folks! I have not been disappointed with a single purchase which would explain why I keep coming back for more. In fact, if there is a problem, they will go out of their way to help you. Seriously, I cannot say enough good things about this store!!! Do yourself a favor and check them out! And while you're there, check out the new Wings + Horns SS11. The Sweat pants are going next on my list! P.S. Special shout out to Nat and Katie! you 2 are the reason I keep coming back for more! read more

In response to some of the reviews, yes, a lot of the staff here is rude. However, on a busy Saturday, the lovely Tangine came and saved the day! I swear she was helping 10 people at once with many pairs of shoes each. She had almost everything straight and helped me to the most of her ability, including checking out a pair of Merrel boots I saw online with me. Unfortunately they weren't in stock, and I didn't end up getting anything from the store, but it was a great experience nonetheless. They must get more seating though! Too many of us were sharing that small couch. read more

The sales are pretty patient but I try to come when it's not so busy. On the weekends, you'd think there was a 70% off sale looking at the crowds. No, I guess people are willing to pay good money for good shoes. I LOVE all my shoes and boots I've gotten here and I do try and buy them on sale. Sometimes not. I scored big at the warehouse sale this year but not on footwear. I got a Paul Smith wool/cashmere cape at 90% or something. The longer I stayed, the more I found but I was one of the people who lined up on the first day so there was more to choose from. read more

Whenever I enter the store, it's like a kid entering a toy store. Presented upon me: every possible shoe is here, in many unique styles and colors. I visit this shop everytime I'm in this area. The shop is seperated into the men's and women's section, with more women's shoes, but still a decent selection of men's shoes. I found the perfect pair of Irregular Choice heels here. Lilac, with embroidered flowers!! I love them! They have stylish designer shoes, and also casual everyday sneakers. What I do like about them is that they have a vast selection and sizes. They do have some unique and special edition shoes. Looking for a shoe for a special occasion? This is the place to go. You will find something, and at times, it'll be unique. Also check out their clothing shop next door. read more

Shoe-a-holics be warned. You're leaving with at least one new pair of kicks. The only shoe store in town to have never disappointed me - in terms of selection and service (and the right size!). From designer Marc by Marc Jacobs to staple brands like Frye's every shoe taste is accounted for. The layout of the store can be enveloping. Find one pair to test drive and while the sales associate is looking for my size, I'll find another, and another. The only thing that stops me from buying out the store is the fact that I have stopped bringing my credit card shopping with me! If you fall for a pair of Fluevogs though, I would have to suggest you check out Fluevogs Flagship store in Gastown before you buy - they do have an amazingly full selection there. read more

EVERYONE seems to rave about Gravity Pope. But, frankly, I'm not so impressed. Sure, the selection is wide (and haphazardly piled one atop the other around the store, making it difficult to catch any one particular style in one's eye)... but are any of the shoes really wearable? Not in my opinion. Except for the Havianas. God, I love those Brazilian beauties! And, since Gravity Pope carries quite a large selection of colours and designs in my fave flip flop, it gets two stars from me. Nuff said. read more

Gravitypope - Shoe Stores Near Me - Vancouver, British Columbia

I agree, shoes are great, staff is outrageously, pathetically offhand. They have severe delusions of grandeur - slumming in in retail while they wait to be discovered. Oh, and seriously - who ever heard of an online shoe store that doesn't take returns? Go to Umeboshi on Main St. Wonderful, invested staff, wonderfully edited selection. read more

Gravitypope - Shoe Stores Near Me - Vancouver, British Columbia

See all

50/50 chance you'll receive any acknowledgement and/or get a salesperson without attitude. Their ecommerce is the worst I've ever experienced time and time again; in today's market, would recommend they take it more seriously or stop doing it altogether. read more

This store has a HUGE selection of all sort of shoes. they have sneakers, high tops, excellent heels, ''green'' shoes, tacky, quirky shoes, Hunters, etc, etc. You can spend lots of time in this place just trying to pick out a pair of shoes :) I like to go window shopping because everytime I pick up a pair of shoes I like they are over 300$. You will most likely be making a big investment but from what I've seen, the quality of the shoes is pretty damn good, especially the shoes that are made in Italy, home to the best quality shoes!!! If you don' like to want leather, they do have alternate options, so check it out. read more

How to describe a shoe store? It nearly always sounds somewhat boring, since it is just a shoe store, nothing more exciting than that. However, Gravity Pope is just as good as it gets out there. I think that it is one of the best shoe stores anywhere in the world, but definitely the best in Vancouver. I got a pair of Camper's and I am definitely happy with my choice. The store has lots of shoes in all varieties that will look cool on your feet. All sizes I asked for were available. They also offer quite a large men's collection so this is a place for both genders. You can take your girlfriend and still find a cool pair of shoes for yourself. Well, enough of the words. Go and check it out whenever you should find yourself in need of a pair of shoes. read more

I loved this store in Edmonton, and I love this store in Vancouver. In comparison to the Edmonton store, its much less busy, and a lot bigger. You don't feel claustrophobic and its pretty easy to flag someone down to get you a size. One of my favourite parts about the store is the salespeople's "no pressure" approach. Aside from greeting you when you walk in, you're left to browse without being harassed constantly, or having someone breathe down your neck, but they're very attentive once you start trying things on. With all that said, I'm still trying to find a way to justify a pair of $425 boots ... read more

Given the success of Gravity Pope and its popularity in both Vancouver and Edmonton, it was only a matter of time until a clothing boutique was developed. Having opened just over a year ago, Gravity Pope Tailored Goods is living up to the tradition established by its shoe-focused predecessor. The aesthetic here is clean, well cut and interesting. The palette is cool with splashes of colour interspersing the racks. Designers hail from New York City, Denmark, France, Los Angeles and Australia to name but a few. It's a wonderful spot to wet your appetite before heading next door. Combined, these two are trouble. read more

If you love shoes as much as I do, you will probably love Gravity Pope. They have a HUGE collection of mens and womens shoes! The only thing is that it is a bit pricey... but, hey, if you don't mind shelling out a little bit extra for some good quality shoes - then this just might be the place for you! They stock a variety of brands to tickle whatever fancy you may have. From Fluevog to Steve Madden and everything in between. It's also nice and spacious, unlike most other shoe stores. read more

I love this shop, I looked throught about 10 other shoe stores in the city and this place always has the best selection for all means. Price is average and always a little under staffed. But the selection is great for me "A GUY" I love my shoes & boots and I have collected allot off them over the years..Oh and the carry a nice range of bags Check out the selected discount section as that always has good value. read more

I only deny this shop the fifth star because it hurts me so much to see such beautiful shoes ... that I can rarely afford. I went for it once, buying a beautiful pair of black leather low heels made in Spain. They carried me all over the city and through a year in a Japanese office. When I finally wore them out, I shed a tear when I had to ditch them. I usually try to just admire the beautiful shoes from the window ... going in hurts too much! Why can't I take all of them home? The staff seems to share an affection for shoes and allows you to get excited when you find that perfect pair that fits like a glove. I think that finding a great pair of shoes should be a reason to celebrate and I appreciate the positive attitude of the people who work in this shop. read more

I went into the store with the intention of buying a couple of pairs of sneakers I had my eye on. I wasn't greeted or acknowledged at all. I finally asked a female employee to get me a size. While I tried them on, she proceeded to hug one of her fellow employees from behind and then she wandered away. I did need her help and I finally caught her attention - she went and got the other sizes I needed and she quickly went back to her workmate and hugged him again. She then started talking with a group of staff gathered behind the cash desk. She was chewing gum the entire time and I really felt she couldn't be bothered serving me. I finally gave up and left the store. Now, I really wouldn't have cared so much if I was in a cheap shoe store...but Gravity Pope is very expensive. I expect good service for my money. I went back to look again...stood there, with a shoe in hand foor 10 minutes and not one of the 6 employees even looked at me. I put down the shoe and found what I wanted elsewhere. A terrible, terrible experience. read more

Alternately love and hate this store! Love it, because they do have an amazing selection of shoes and boots and their sale prices are really good. They carry some brands that you won't find anywhere else in Vancouver. Hate it, because the salespeople are usually so snooty and unhelpful, more than once I've walked out without buying anything. Also, it's very crowded most of the time (especially during sales) and there aren't enough places to sit and try anything on. One more plus, the Gravity Pope website rocks and you can order from there, which I've done a few times if the store didn't have my size or colour available. read more

This place should be called Gravity Poop If I could give separate star ratings for shoe selection and service I would. In terms of: 1) SHOES- 9/10 - excellent - diverse and artistic selection of brands and an eclectic mix of urban, posh, and avante garde - prices for the brands are reasonably set and can even surprise you by being a bit less pricey than expected in comparison with its competitors - lacking a full 10/10 as its runners selection is a bit weak, both in the mens and womens sections 2) SERVICE- 2/10 - outright snobbish - glorified hipsters- apart from maybe one or two of the salespeople, who are usually always busy because people gravitate towards them, the majority of them are privileged, 20-something year olds who have a chip on their shoulder in terms of fashion and demonstrating urbanity. Their snobbish ettiquette is validated by their artistic eye in choosing clothing for the feet, but is self-defeating in actually running any bit of errands for itself. - judgmental at the door- while clientele appearance is important in many high-end retail outlets, Vancouver also has many customers in rather casual attire out for an expensive shop. But the salespeople seem to think that anything short of being Andy Worhol's best mate is short of them deserving to help you. - they know you need them, for the shoes to be fitted and purchased, that's the only way they make money 3) OVERALL 2/10 - the ability of them making money is a clever business model of the 'outgroup': be and appear cooler and judge the participant for their lack of belonging and offer them only a small hinted chance at purchasing a larger facet of beauty, in hope that you may belong to the 'in crowd'. Greet them with bad service and an aloofness to the world in a vague hippy sense and they will beg at your mercy with dollars. The person who picks the footwear selection is my Idol but the human resourcing and sales etiquette training is as deserving as this harsh post. Great shoes trampled in poop. read more
