He's beyond a knowledgeable shoe fanatic, his passion to help people is evident. As I was there, potential customers came in and tried on stacks of shoes. Some snapped photos.

Sure we pay a bit more, but remember folks, we always pay for services, these awesome, professionals are no different. Shoes were a few bucks higher, but the width, arch & style was exactly what I would dream of! Nailed it! To Carlos and Carla, thank you for everything you do for your customers.

Yeah, this is another famous footwear. This review is based purely on my experience purchasing a…read morepair of shoes and picking them up at this location inside the Capitola mall. Let's face it, shopping is tricky these days for everyone. Truthfully I never thought I would become a person that would obsess over a pair of sneakers, but as soon as I saw the blue Nike court vision low online, I knew I had to have them. After going to three different locations with no luck they had my size here. When I arrived at the store, I walked in and was greeted right away. They have someone at the front desk who asked if I was shopping or pickup. The associate was very polite to me, at first I did not see the shoes. She checked in the back for me and was literally back in 10 minutes. I tried them on, they are so comfortable and I was lucky because they were the last and only pair left in the store (in my size too) it was meant to be lol. When she rung me up at the register, then checked my account and told me I had ten dollars in rewards points, so I used those points to save money. Overall I am completely satisfied with my purchase and I will continue to shop at famous footwear - thank you

The shoes aren't really my style anyways. But to be fair I saw some cute socks. They had two bench inside but it was too crowded that all I wanted was to be out of there. Glanced at some shoes and they're overpriced and they look uncomfortable.

I walked in and it was pretty small and nobody was at the counter, but I walked around and looked around anyway.

I understand that it was local, but it didn't appeal to me and wasn't unique. I might give this another shot some time down the line.
