Brand new shoes I had carefully wrapped and stored in the spare bedroom closet which is above the furnace/electrical room downstairs. Well... the ozone from the furnace room disintegrated the soles on the brand new shoes and the soles came apart in chunks. Panic. So we look for shoe stores and Comfort One shoes up on Yelp. We had low expectations as military adaptable shoes are old Oxford types. But among the dozens of models of trendy, comfortable, and casual shoes, there were actually three models of oxfords. The attendant was superb. Patient and friendly. As expected, new European shoes are not cheap. But the value was tremendous. High quality, comfy and well fitting. We left quite happy. Excellent and friendly service and great value.

I need to report an extremely disturbing experience at a Nordstrom Rack store during a recent visit…read morewith my husband. We were shopping for outfits for our son's graduation, which should have been a positive and memorable occasion. Instead, I was subjected to unprofessional, confrontational, and ultimately abusive behavior by a fitting room associate. Upon approaching the fitting room, I followed the associate's directions regarding where to place my cart, although her instructions were inconsistent and unclear. Inside the dressing room, I found a shirt that had been left behind by a previous customer. After trying on approximately seven items, I returned them to hangers and exited the fitting room. At that point, the associate demanded that I remove and hang the shirt that I had not brought into the dressing room. I explained that it was not mine. She became visibly frustrated, entered the room herself, and then shifted her focus to insisting that I return all of my items to the exact locations on the sales floor where I had found them. I placed the clothing neatly on the rack provided near the fitting room, which is standard practice in most retail stores. I declined to return the items to the sales floor, as that is typically handled by store staff to ensure proper organization. The situation escalated significantly when the associate followed me out of the fitting area and toward the front of the store, continuing to confront me. She then called me a "horrible human being" and used an additional demeaning term toward me. Racially motivated ! Being followed and verbally insulted while exiting the store was both shocking and unacceptable. I think she forgot what her job actually was and that was too curate the clothing, and to rehang them up she had the nerve to continue following me and would have exited the store to follow me. Had someone else stopped her I am a 50-year-old customer who has shopped in retail stores my entire life, and I have never experienced anything remotely like this. This interaction was not only unprofessional but crossed the line into harassment. this incident be investigated thoroughly. No customer should be treated in this manner under any circumstances. I would also appreciate a response outlining what steps will be taken to address this situation and ensure it does not happen to others. Huge thumbs down to this store and this horrible little twit

This was a Lion and Tigers and Bears OH MY situation! It's quite crowded in here. Not cluttered but crowded. They have soooo much stuff and it's all in order. This place could be 2-3 floors easy!! I saw all of my fav brands at great prices. They have a huge selection of high-end wear for a great price. They have a huge selection of summer, spring and winter wear. The cosmetics and body care... chef's kiss!! They have everything in every color/ scent/ size!! Cool accessories, luggage galore, etc. I did not take a gander at the shoes as I had a show nearby to attend. I bought 2 gorge blouses and a short sleeve loose fitting denim blue top. I will revisit very soon for some more shopping greatness.

After measuring my feet and looking at the shoes I was wearing, my excellent salesperson immediately suggested another brand, Saucony. And brought out my size of that as well as a couple sizes of Altra, and later a sales priced pair of Brooks. I decided the Saucony was sufficiently more comfortable to be worth the higher price, once he had also sold me on getting new inserts that were shallower near those toes. I've now walked 4 miles in them a couple times, just walked a couple, and I love them -- if I'd been wearing the Brooks, I would have soreness in the toes about now.

I'm a huge collector of sneakers, so having the opportunity to attend such a convention was such a treat! I love that it was super local and it was opened for anyone with any range of interest to attend - you just need to purchase a ticket! There were also some celebrity guests (DeSean Jackson and DJ QuickSilva), and with the ticket purchase, one had a meet & greet opportunity with both individuals :D There was also a $500 grand prize for the best pair of shoes that were sported! It was great to see sneaker fanatics in one place and to network and make new friends with fellow sneaker lovers.

Despite my expectations before each visits, and despite scouring the 75% of the racks, I bet I bought fewer than 10 items in all that time. Partly, I have been very spoiled with stores like the Rack, but much better. I'm from Boston and spent many hours at the inimitable but defunct Filene's Basement. As well as at TJ Maxx, Marshall's, and Loehmann's. I very seldom see anything at the Rack. I find their clothes, etc. to be overpriced. And the stores are so disorganized and messy. I would love to be able to say I love Nordie's, but I am always disappointed.

Both my husband and I were fatigued and unfortunately did not pack the best shoes for walking so we decided why not go shopping? We found Comfort One Shoes and they were fairly busy so we felt it must be a good shoe shop. They had a great range of trendy, popular shoe brands from On Cloud, HOKA, and more. We were desperately needing shoes so at this point price wasn't an issue, we also just wanted to splurge a little. The store associate was very helpful and a great salesman. He really knew his stuff and was informative about each brand. We ended up spending about $400+ at this store so we were a bit in shock but we felt relieved with the quality of the shoes we bought. After price comparing online, we did of course figure out we spent more money, assuming because this was more of a boutique experience. If you are in a bind and looking for shoes immediately, I would recommend. But if you can wait it out and save money, this might not be the place for you.

I already knew my little credit card was going to play big. They have a great selection of new apparel, they have Essentials hoodies that are new. The prices are a bit high, you can get them online for cheaper, but I always support these kind of establishments. Plus they are in the Harbor so I already know they are paying an arm and a leg to be there. Definitely don't mind supporting. Was surprised to see some Kobe's in stock. They literally have a great selection. Worth a look!

I don't know how I overlook this place each time I am near. I somehow just associate it with the…read moreMetro station and forget that it is its own standalone business. I think what happens is that I mindlessly walk through here as I use it as a passageway. I need to start paying attention to what is in here and keep note of it. Basically this is a mall. Like every mall just about everywhere, they are without some businesses. But, I will say this about the DMV area, even with some shops being empty, the malls still know how to draw people in. Even if it is just for the food options. This place has a ton of food options and some of the places in here are the only place in DC to find them, or at least a place where it is fairly easy to get to in order to visit the business. They got the run of the chains you would see in almost any food court. Charleys, Five Guys, Jamba Juice, Moe's, Panda Express, Starbucks, Subway, etc. But there are a lot of mom and pop stands mixed in. You can definitely find something for your lunch or a quick snack. This is one of the only places I have seen a Church's Chicken in the city. It can be a maze walking through here, especially if you arrive via Metro. But like I said, it is a great passageway to get yourself to areas without having to be outside. With the Spy Museum on the one end it's a great place to spend a day in the city. The Wharf not too far either. There are a few shops throughout as well. Mostly open during daylight hours if you need to grab a thing or two. Everything from a post office to a convenience type store. If you are lucky enough to work nearby, I am sure this is busy around the lunchtime hour.

The place also never seems busy. Kinda ghost town-ish. Panda Express seemed to be the main attraction here. All together tho, it was clean. I think the space has potential to be a more useful shopping space for people.
