My PT therapist mentioned Montague & Son The Birkenstock Store located in Herndon and yesterday I finally dropped by. Located close to Lotte Plaza and Fair Oaks Hospital, it's a small store but packed with Birkenstock sandals and other ancillaries . I was met entering by a young lady (Ceres?)who took her time to help me decide which sandals would fit and what colors were available (none of mine were so went with second best). She was very thorough, up to the point where another young lady who was obviously a close friend stopped by and then I had her divided attention to check-out. I have my sandals and tried them as directed for an hour first day and the tried the second day. It hurt in the top of my foot and I had to read the reviews to find out why it was hurting. Would have been nice to have been told that by my associate. Not cheap so pay attention in the store. I overheard another associate going deeper into the physical aspects of the sandals so try and see if you can enter, walk around and listen in to conversations to see which associate seem to be most knowledgeable. Hopefully the sandals will break in shortly and I can experience the benefit.

I just left the store, they have the worst customer service. The products are overpriced. Short…read moredetails: I found the same products online with a big difference of price between $15 to $25 difference. I came with the intention of buying Aetrex soles for my husband. While we were waiting there were two people in front of us using the machine on their own. There was no one from the store helping them. I assumed I could do the same(use the machine). I even asked the people if they were done. When I was asking my husband to take his shoes off a person on my back told me "NO, YOU DO NOT DO THAT" I turned around and told him there was nobody there and the other people were using it. He told me with a hash tone I HAVE TO HELP YOU. I literally thought he was going to tell me to help me understand the results of the machine. The only thing he did was press start and he LEFT. HE LEFT without an explanation or NOTHING. I felt like a person being joked by a selfish guy. NO One in the store said anything. We turned around and left. I took a picture of the people that were at the store and only white people were being helped . I'm sorry but I have to say it, there are stores that are very racist and this is one of them. Customer service is the worst :(

My only complaint was that a number of the items I looked at didn't have very many sizes left. I'll definitely be back.

I stopped by The Shoe Shoppe in Tysons because I have a pair of slingback heels that I love, but…read morethe back strap constantly slips off my foot and makes them almost impossible to walk in. I really wanted to wear them to my cousins wedding and this shop came recommended. I originally thought the strap needed to be shortened, but the staff suggested a different fix. They told me that adding a pad under my foot and a non-slip band on the strap would solve the issue. It helped a little, but not completely leaving me somewhat disappointed. In addition to not receiving a complete fix, what really disappointed me was the service or lack thereof. The man working there barely looked up from what he was doing and never asked me to try on the shoe to see the problem for himself. He gave short, vague suggestions and seemed uninterested in actually helping. I had to walk back and forth to the shelves three separate times to find the products he mentioned, rather than him taking a moment to show me where they were. The whole interaction felt dismissive and rushed. The shop itself is tucked away inside Tysons Mall, so it is easy to miss unless you are looking for it. While it is convenient if you are already nearby, I would not make a special trip back. For a store that specializes in shoes, I expected more attention and care. The experience left me unimpressed and still struggling with the same pair of shoes.

This location has a bigger clearance section than the other locations. But the XL+ clearance items are usually sold out. They have sanitizer and the employees were wearing masks properly. Which is a plus during C-19. Also the store had good ventilation and the AC was on which is another plus. The cashier and manager were both very friendly, Highly professional & social. The general crowd is middle class really. Mainly Police, Fire & Military customers. The noise level was normal for a retail store. Mainly adults shopping. No kids really. It's located inside a shopping center so parking is not really a issue. I was asked to pay via Credit Card. So unsure if they aren't taking cash permanently or it was just temporary for that day. I would call before going. Overall A++, Just wish they had more XL+ clearance items. Love 5.11

She also pointed out that there were patches that would be included with my purchase (I added a pouch and pants) which was a nice surprise! All in all, great experience from over the phone to checkout. Will definitely come back due to service alone.

We stopped by this Fair Oaks location to look for shoes, and we were impressed that they had a larger collection and also different styles of specific brands, compared to department and specialty shoe stores.

The staff here were friendly and sweet, and they had a great system of looking up the shoe and delivering them to you to try them out. There could be more seating area, as it was super limited, and there are various cashier points around the store for an easier checkout.

Buy your item from their website NEVER BUY FROM Dick's. A store is only as good as its customer…read moreservice, and its entire success depends on the loyalty of its customers. For years, my family, friends, and I have been fiercely loyal to Dick's Sporting Goods. Whenever it came to sports items or fishing gear, I never even bothered checking other websites or competitors; I always went straight to Dick's and proudly recommended them to everyone. That loyalty ends today. Last night, I went to return a pair of shoes. Yes, it was past the 90-day window, but the shoes were completely unworn with the tags still attached. Any reputable store would, at the very least, offer store credit as a gesture of goodwill. Instead, Dick's policy is to buy it back at the lowest possible selling price, which feels like a complete rip-off and a scam to steal customers' money. To make matters worse, the store manager's behavior was incredibly rude, dismissive, and utterly unprofessional. Shocked by this treatment, I called their Customer Service line, expecting them to de-escalate the situation or at least apologize for the manager's misbehavior. Instead, the representative was completely useless. They didn't even care to ask which specific store location this happened at, offered zero help, and didn't even bother to apologize. This is, hands down, the absolute worst customer service experience I have ever had in my entire life in the United States. The silver lining? I also bought two pairs of shoes directly from the brand "On" last night. Due to this awful experience, I am returning the shoes I bought at Dick's, and I contacted "On's" customer service instead. "On" handled my situation beautifully, professionally, and resolved my issue with ease. My advice to everyone: If you want to buy sports gear, go directly to the brand's own website or store. Dick's doesn't give you any special discounts, their return policy for unworn items is a joke, and they treat loyal customers like garbage. I will never step foot in a Dick's Sporting Goods store again, and they have permanently lost my business.

I've never seen an actual Birkenstock store, so I decided to visit to purchase my second pair…read more Overall, the store was clean and well put together, and nothing seemed out of the ordinary. They have a wide selection of not just Birkenstock but other brands like Hoka. One thing that immediately stood out was the customer service. I really wish I remembered her name to put in the review, but she was excellent. Even though I thought I knew my size, she suggested I use the foot scanner machine and proceeded to educate me on my foot pattern. Furthermore, she was very knowledgeable about the product and made sure I knew all the benefits that came with it. Birkenstocks themselves are worth every dime, but the added service was priceless. I highly recommend this store.

GENERAL We called ahead of time to check what pairs they had…read morein stock that we were looking for. We were able to reserve a pair ahead of time, and when we came to the store, we were able to try the pair we were looking for and other pairs as well. The sales associate (Jane) walked us through the Aetrex machine to see our feet size/shape to find the best pair for us as well. SERVICE Jane Lee, the sales associate, was very kind and friendly! She took our call when we called ahead of time and walked us through the Aetrex machine, showed us various pairs of Birkenstocks that aligned with what we were looking for, and taught us the maintenance as well. VALUE The shoes here are comparable to that of online and other stores. We decided to purchase a pair here since we could try it on and look at the colors in person since they vary leather to leather. PARKING Ample parking is available in front of the store that is shared by other stores in the shopping center.
