We were in and out and everyone was so nice.

Two years ago I bought 2 pairs of very supportive SAS sandals. They fit well and were very…read morecomfortable for sandals that cost more than $100. I noticed that the innersole of one of the shoes (made of cork) was starting to disintegrate. I called the SAS store that I purchased them from (in Evanston, IL) and spoke to Linda, the store manager. She looked up the sales and noted that the shoes were over 2 years old. She was not interested anything I said and responded that if I got 2 years of wear from them, I should just replace them, (noting that 2 years was as long as I should expect them to last . ) I should mention that in IL, most people don't wear sandals through the winter season. I have bought many SAS shoes prior to Linda being the manager, and was very disappointed with her attitude . I no longer will buy at that store and wonder if she is correct about the longevity of SAS shoes? Ellen..Evanston, IL

My main motivation for stopping in the store was to try Hoka running shoes since many people mentioned liking them and I'm preparing for my first race. I was surprised that I wasn't as impressed with them as I was the shoes I ended up purchasing. I appreciated Oscar calling a nearby store to hold the shoes I wanted in the color I wanted as well (since this store did not have the color I was looking for.) I recommend asking for Oscar when you stop in! It's a great location, quite welcoming, good lighting and there is a treadmill to try out the shoes you try on.

Buy your Doc Martens here and keep the brick and mortar stores going.

Also, you can see the new styles in person and be assured that these are authentic.

The owner has been in the same location for about 40 years. He has a pretty wide selection for men and women. You won't find Prada in here. But you will find popular brands at very fair prices. I found the most comfortable pair of sneakers I've ever tried when we were there last week. I've worn them every day since. Normally, if I need shoes (a few times a decade) I end up at Kohl's. The prices here are comparable but since it is locally owned, I would much rather give them my business. Ironically, I walked out buying something and my wife did not. But we are both sold on Athenian. Next time we are in the area, we'll be back.

I hate buying shoes. Big time…read more The people that run the store were very cool and quite helpful. They have all kinds of styles, American and imports - and a strong selection of dress/work shoes. Evidentally the same family has been operating this store from the same location for 37 years now, now being run by a guy named Bill and his brother, and taken over from their father. Perhaps more of note are the prices. I went to DSW recently to buy a few pairs of dress shoes, found nothing that I could walk comfortably in - and everything was pretty pricey. If the average decent shoe I tried on at DSW was 90-135$ - it is of note that at Athenian the prices for the same styles and designers were averaging 49-89$. Hugeness. So, a chronically pissed off shoe customer like myself walked out 20 minutes after I walked in with sweet pairs of Giorgio Brutini and Stacy Adams for about 130$ total. Giggity. The place is a hidden treasure. Go with immediacy.

Yes, these shoes are expensive but so far they are worth every penny. I will be back for sure when I need my next pair of sneakers.

Walking into Fleet Feet Oak Park felt less like entering a running store and more like crashing a…read moreprivate club for elite marathoners. The moment I stepped in -- wearing Crocs and baggy shorts, minding my own business -- the staff seemed to collectively decide I wasn't worth the oxygen it would take to acknowledge me. Not a nod, not a "Hi," not even the bare‑minimum retail grunt. Just pure, practiced invisibility. Meanwhile, anyone who walked in looking like they'd just finished mile 27 of an ultramarathon was greeted instantly. They were ushered around, fitted, advised, practically celebrated. I watched people enter the store after me and get helped before me, repeatedly, as if the employees were running some unspoken triage system based solely on appearance. If you don't look like you're training for the Olympics, good luck -- you're background scenery. The semi‑open layout only makes the whole thing worse. You stand there, fully visible, watching staff weave around you with the kind of deliberate avoidance usually reserved for potholes and wet paint. It's a special kind of irritation -- being ignored so thoroughly that you start to wonder if you've slipped into another dimension. If you're an elite runner, or at least look like one, you'll probably be treated like royalty. If you're not, prepare to be a ghost in Crocs.
