It has one of the best selection of shoes I've seen at a locally owned stores, including Frye, Birkenstock and UGG. They have large men's, women's, children and just fun things section. I think the prices are equal to other similar places, but if you hit them at the right time of year, they have half-off sales on big brand names and you can get a great deal.
