    Paul M.

    Best customer service experience!! I have purchased running shoes at a larger competitor to this store and have never been satisfied with the experience. I only bought at that other store because it was closer to my home and it had a big selection. That other store has a reputation for being "snooty" and it was. But I digress... Runnin' Gear is the exact opposite. I went in with a shoe in mind because the shoe maker website recommended it for my running style. When I told employee Paul about that he laughed and said "Of course it did. That's their latest and greatest and most expensive". Let's see what you really need. Paul looked at my current wear pattern and explained how those shoes differ with today's shoes. Cushioning materials, uppers, seams, etc. He then brought out the pair I initially was interested in, plus 2 others. After trying on the shoes, he checked the fit in the toe and the width and explained why the pair fit the way they did and why it was right or wrong for me. I did end up with the pair I was initially interested in buying and was happy to pay the higher premium price. They didn't have my first color choice in stock, but without me asking Paul called another store and found a pair and promised to have them for me the next day. As I needed/wanted the shoes that day, I opted for my second color choice. Equally happy regardless. Runnin' Gear is the only place I'll shop from now on. See you in 600 miles, Paul!!

    Location is more or less a mile from Great Lakes Crossing. After the great mall closed at 6pm on a…read moreSunday, we headed to DSW since this location closes at 8pm on Sundays. Lots of available parking. It is not as wide as the Southfield location, but I like that they have a lot of clearance shoes for every sizes. Same with the kids sizes, there are a lot of selection on sale. Staff are friendly. They maintain the cleanliness and arrangement of the shoes, boxes, bags, hats, fancy jewelry and more for men's women's and kids. The clearance stickers were updated. They have the colors for 30, 40, 50 and 70% off. No more 80% off . Anyways, I'll still be in a look out for bargains. One happy shoe lover coming back to this location!

    Horrible customer service and display technique. The Birkenstocks are stacked willy nilly with two…read moresizes of boxes and the shelves are canted so take one out and it's an avalanche. An employee walked by and watched a woman and her daughters help me put things back and didn't bother to stop. When I got to the cash I had inadvertently picked up the wrong size during housekeeping. So yay the cashier at least verified the size with me. This was after she stopped the transaction to answer the phone--excuse me I'm here and a sure bet for a sale, finish what you start! As I was headed back to get the right size I asked if she could check stock for a particular width. She told me they're all back there and motioned toward the aisles. Why yes they are, stacked like Jenga with 6 point font on the width and color. No wonder all the Birkenstock displays look like a Kindergarten block party. I was so annoyed I left. Good sale on shoes, decent selection if you're willing it put in the search and seek time and great shoes but THIS is why people shop on line.

    Friday, 9/30/2022 - My #408 Review…read more On Sunday, September 11th while walking my 6,000 steps in Great Lakes Crossing Mall, I stopped to step in this factory outlet shoe store. It is organized with many different areas of Skechers for Woman, Men, and Children shoes. So many trendy colors, styles and designs for your comfort walking or running. Prices range high and low depending on the collection and your selection choice. If you are looking for comfort with sandals, sneakers, dress shoes, boots and casual shoes then try on a pair to test out as I did. There are many Skecher brands such as Active, Sport, Sport Fusion and the newest and popular Shape-Ups. It is located in District 8 on the map near Pro Bass store or Entry 8. Hours: Monday - Saturday 10:00 AM - 9:00 PM Sunday 11:00 AM - 6:00 PM. Phone: (248) 972-0807 Park: Entry 8 - District 8 for Speedy Shopping - In & Out

    I have tiny feet and shopping for a pair of shoes can be quite the challenge! However on my visit…read morehere yesterday Elisha took it upon herself to make sure I walked out feet happy The store is well displayed - very good collection, clean and basically a pleasure to shop at. After browsing through the aisles I shortlisted a bunch of shoes to try. Elisha was super friendly and did her best to go through the stock - going up / down the ladder, checking the backroom etc for my size. (And multiple times - every time she came back I had shortlisted a few more) Unfortunately on the ones I selected, the smallest size available in stores were big for me. At this point Elisha suggested weekly days that they get restocked (few other styles have smaller sizes but they get sold FAST). However we live a good hour away and it'd have been difficult to come back. Determined to help she looked up the system and said she can put in a special online order for my size and it will be delivered at home. There was one particular pair I had my heart set on and listening to this had me super duper excited.. ORDER placed! Yes I returned a happy customer cos I did get my favorite pair but am also thoroughly impressed with the level of customer service Elisha displayed! Great job and Thank You

    Wow! Super shocked to see so many pairs of nice shoes (sneakers, dress shoes, stylish shoes, winter…read moreshoes, etc). They have a lot of sales going on right now. They also have a storewide sale on all shoes buy one get one 50%!!! We would have spent $170 before tax on two really nice pairs of winter boots. We spent $120 because we got one pair for $40 instead of $90 (they were $10 off as well and received 50% off). For signing up you get a $10 coupon in your email as well. Jeff was super helpful, kind, and had amazing customer service skills. So happy we stopped in. If you need winter boots or any other kind, stop in for that huge deal going on this weekend.
