    Awesome kite
    William G.

    We love Kitty Hawk Kites! We are visiting from out of town and we were very happy when we were looking for a kite in Virginia Beach and found out they had this awesome kite shop. Last time we visited we bought kites in North Carolina at Kitty Hawk Kites, lovely lady behind the counter suggested a foil kite , our plan was to let our 10 year old grandson fly this kite at the hotel beach, this kite flys best in 6-25 mph wind. Super easy to pack around because it comes in its own little bag for storage. We took it out and attached the provided kite line, let out about 10 feet of string and "bam" we were having fun on the beach, our grandson loved this kite and it looked cool in the air. Wonderful folks to deal with in the store, for a ton of fun I highly recommend

    Came in excited to buy some clothes & left pissed. The one borderline bald old man was already watching us like a hawk when we'd barely walked in the front door. We didn't pay too much mind until we realized he was following us as well & thats when it hit us, this old guy is a racist. Before anyone thinks we are being extra, we were the only poc in the store & he didn't greet us when we came in but he greeted the people after us. he was also very passive aggressive in the way he spoke to us when we had heard him with the other customers & he sounded completely different with them. I normally don't write reviews but this was such a horrible experience I could not just ignore it.

    Alex and Ani bracelet. The charm says JOY OPTIMISM CHOICE on the back $28.

    Staff was helpful with recommendations on kites to fly based on general beach conditions. Nice selection of items.

    I am not a yelper but had to come and leave a review for WRV. I had a quality issue with a large…read morepurchase that was not going away. After a couple of emails things got lost in the shuffle. I was really disappointed and decided to call the HQ in VA Beach. I was put in touch with Jen the director of their surfboard department and my experience was completely turned around. Jen was professional, listened to my plight and went above and beyond to make things right. She put me in touch with Chris the manager in the obx shop and he carried the torch to the finish line. While speaking to Jen I discovered that they try to use American made products and materials as often as possible. That they really care about their employees and have a deep bench of experienced people that have been with them for many years. WRV is a large company and after the email shuffle I was sure that I wasn't important enough for my problems to be addressed. Jen completely proved me wrong and made me feel that not only was I important as a customer but everyone that works for them and the community around our beaches and in the lineup are number one when it comes to their business. WRV has made a believer out of me when it comes to great people and a solid business model. I will be a lifelong customer after this experience.

You lose customers when you treat everyone like a criminal!

    Let me preface this review by saying I suffer from Charcot foot and have been in a walking…read morecast/boot for 4 years. I have been to every shoe store in the tidewater area and have met with less than unsatisfactory service. New Balance was the last place I had yet to try and did so on 8/12/25. My family and I walked in and was greeted immediately and asked if there was anything I was looking for. I went there looking for a particular shoe that they offer but they did not have in stock. Nick, was the gentleman that assisted us and I explained my situation and he knew exactly what I was talking about and started to educate me on the shoes they offered that could help my condition. I tried in several pairs as we talked about hip-hop and how the music has changed over the years. I finally settled on pair. Out of all the places I've visited, this was the only place that listened to me and understood my problem. They weren't trying to sell me a shoe, rather a solution and it was worth it to wear that pair out of the store and finally walk on my own without the help of a walking boot. I will definitely be back and will always recommend this store and Nick.

    This New Balance store is located in a shopping area in the Hilltop section of Virginia Beach near…read morethe corner of Republic Rd. and First Colonial Rd. There is ample parking in the area, but they do not have any restrooms at this store, so make sure to do your business before visiting if you need to. My visit here was on October 6, 2021. I was in the market at the time for a new pair of shoes to use at the recreation center, as I do tend to use the elliptical and some other things frequently there. I wanted something that would be a great fit for that. After entering the store, there were two people working there at the time, so it was just a few minutes before the worker was able to come over to me, after finishing with another client in the store. Once one of them were done, they came over. I can't remember her name, but she was great to work with. She asked me what type of shoes I wanted and then went from there. We went over a few different kinds, and finally found one that fit me well. She first did a sizing and then went from there. In this case, the only difference in sizing for me was a wide (E) version instead of a regular (D) version. The E version did fit much better than the regular version. Overall, this was a great experience and I did end up purchasing the shoes that she suggested, including the E size after trying them on and walking with them on in the store first. The fit was perfect, and it wasn't popping up in the back while walking and such too. This was a great experience overall and one of the best experiences I have had at any shoe store. I've never had anyone go to that detail to make sure the shoes were a perfect fit for me. I will totally come back here in the future when I need another pair in the future. If you are currently in the market for shoes, you definitely need to give this New Balance location a chance to serve you. Yo won't be disappointed.

They were all so helpful. I do wish they had more colors and sizes in store, but you can always buy online. So sometimes I try on in store and buy online. They have so many cute bras, and tops to go with the leggings. I do wish they had plus size items, or bras in a bigger size at-least. I want to look cute too, top to bottom, just not the bottom Did you know they hem for free? Back their product? Get a hole in it, they will repair it. They have a military discount. Thank you lululemon for great customer service and backing your product

    Ok I admit that just 4 years ago I had no idea who this company was. Fast forward to two teens, one…read morefemale and one male. I'm very aware of their pricey, but super quality brand. I have shopped stores from coast to coast. The location is somewhat newer for Virginia Beach Town Center. Parking is free off street or nearby parking garages. The area outside has always been tidy. I have probably shopped with my kids around a dozen times. So I will compile experiences which are similar. The styles and designs are for a younger demographic that is a slimmer weight. They have athletic and dressier items. The company roots are in athletic clothing. The products are approximately 90% women, 10% men. So I'm out on the skimmer category. But really any age can enjoy their clothing. They are pricey, make no mistake. A single legging for ladies runs in the $100 neighborhood. For men the same with pants. They do have a sales rack to check. It's often slim pickings. Service 100% always 5 star. The staff is trained well and will bend over backwards to be helpful to customers. Also always super friendly and attentive. I have to admit they are trained to sell too! So you may be browsing and make a purchase. The store is always 100% 5 star clean and organized. The staff has very tight control over the the tidiness of the floor, changing area and checkout. Products and quality always 100% 5 star. LuLulemon makes it a company policy to bring quality to what they make. They also stand begins with a unheard of return policy of no receipt required and limited warranty period. Who else does this? Well I can't name another clothing retailer. My scorecard is a perfect 5 and of course we will continue to shop this clothing chain.

I bought a pair of sunglasses that I still have to this day. I miss the location in VB Town Center. It was one of the best, especially when it had the Rockwall. An employee named Darren ran the Rockwall almost 20 years ago and he works at the Lynnhaven Dicks store in the shoe department. My daughter needed new shoes for a camping trip and Darren, as usual was awesome! Lots of great knowledge and advice and patience. She found some New Balance that was perfect and the right price. Darren's customer service skills are unmatched and I'm so glad that he was there to help us. The chain carries a lot of name brands like Adidas, Nike and Hoka's. The overall store in my opinion has not been as strong, but the selection has been every bit as good. They like others have cut back on staff and it can be challenging to get help when shopping. Customer service is not nearly what it used to be. When checking out the cashier was downright not friendly. So this four-star is much more about a single experience with Darren than the overall store experience through the years. If you need some shoes, ask for Darren.

I was originally referred…read moreto them by a physical therapist following knee surgery over ten years ago, and I have been a loyal customer ever since. I have shopped at both their Norfolk and Virginia Beach locations and have consistently found the customer service to be top-notch. They always analyze your gait before making any recommendations to ensure a proper fit. Additionally, as a Brooks enthusiast, I appreciate that they offer one of the largest selections of Brooks footwear in the area and if you are lucky you can catch last years model on sale. If you are experiencing foot pain or are simply looking for the right pair of sneakers, I 100% recommend stopping by.

The service remains top notch and was immediate. I needed a replacement shoe for my four year broken down everyday Hoka's. I have really loved the brand and hoped to stay in them. But was also open to try others. The sales guy understood my needs and confirmed my old Hoka's were trash. They upgraded the Bondi I'm in to the 10, so he started with that. However, he first had me walk up and down to evaluate my gait. He measured my feet. He pulled out around six colors to choose from and I tried on a pair and walked again for evaluation. They felt much better than my broken down sneaks. After an inspection of the laces and the way my toes were in the box he pulled out a wide shoe from the back. They only came in three colors, but the gray is what I wanted anyway. After walking again the wide shoe felt the best and more comfortable in the toe box. My previous shoes were regular width. We also discussed socks that would be more beneficial for walking and jogging avoiding cotton at all cost. Cotton retains moisture, that can cause blisters. So go with synthetics, or wool. I tried on a synthetic by Feetures that felt great and picked up a pair to purchase with new shoes. I wore my new ones out and they recycled my old ones and the box. Hoka's are not a cheap brand. So expect $165 and up. Checkout was smooth on my card. Running Etc is a unique experience on service as I described. They know the sport of running, they know their products and best of all the know how to satisfy their customers with phenomenal service. Whole heartedly recommend!!!
