Sneakerhead heaven…read more Think of Afew Store as a curator. There are so many shoes out there, but how do you know what's really best? Don't believe what the big companies are advertising, they're just pushing the latest products. Afew has done the work for you and selected shoes that are fashionable and current. I don't know what they would officially call their style, but think urban and Hype Beast. From older photos, it looks like they used to have a larger selection of apparel, hats, and accessories, but when I went, it was cut down to a small selection displayed within the counter. No racks. Too bad.

Fantastic selection of stylish yet sturdily constructed German shoes and travel accessories…read more Located on the 1st (middle) floor of the Limbecker mall, Lloyds is easily identifiable as the most understated store in its row, which is reflected in the product line as well. Classic looks and classic customer service complement each other very well here. I had the pleasure of being helped by Bahar, who despite not having my original model in stock understood my style perfectly and found something in stock that fit perfectly. When a few dozen steps indicated the side of the shoe was a tad tight, Bahar pulled out a spray and treated the calf's leather so that it got just the right little give on the side. Their selection of bags and accessories is not to be missed either, and for the ladies there is quite a nice shoe lineup as well. In a world that seems increasingly split between "big-box" stores with low-quality commodities and high-end luxury boutiques, Lloyd takes us back to a comfortable spot in the middle where quality and customer service still reign.
