I was looking for some pretty comfy sandals for myself and our trip for our anniversary. I'm always looking for comfy shoes. The store was clean and spacious. The staff friendly and helpful. I took some photos for my hubby to review and we will definitely go back and find him a pair soon.

Whenever I'm in a mall that has a "Shoe Department" near my hometown, I always tend to avoid it. We…read morehave quite a few of these, but they either have footwear that isn't my size, or isn't my design/style, or something else that makes me cringe and wish I didn't own a pair from a store of this notability. However, when we were in this store the other day at the Morgantown Mall and knew I needed a pair of sandals for our annual summer trip into the nearby city of Fairmont, WV (we didn't stay long thereafter due in part to our family's needs not being fulfilled and most of us being bored), I decided to end and try to find a pair. But when I went in, I was amazed by their selection of men's sandals. Though not name-brand items on sandals(I ended up buying a pair of Northside sandals), I do feel like these are quite stylish and built for needs only. I had some ideas in mind that I wanted to fulfill for, having had dark colored sandal problems before that caused medical problems on my feet in years past. I looked for light colored sandals on both the inner sole, as well as a light colored webbing on the outside with other light colors that looks a little stylish. And while I'm not truthfully too happy with the design on the sole (feeling rough), I'll be happy to get through this summer with them.) The signs gave me a price range that I was willing to pay for. Although I would have known for these shoes to have been cheaper at my local store, this one was a little higher-priced for the design. This is about the only downfall here. Signs were widely visible and it didn't take me long to spot a pair that actually fit my design, size and budget. Although I was never greeted by any employee to help me select one, the first time I was greeted by one was at the register. The employee was off helping other customers and took a minute or so to come up to the register to assist. He recognized I existed, but it took a moment to notice me at the register and ready to pay. He rung up the sandals, and, handing him a fifty dollar bill, said that he didn't have a twenty, but could make do with other change types - handing me back a wide range of $5s and a few singles and some coins. All in all - a very successful visit. Yes, I probably spent more than I should have for only a few months of the year where I live - but this visit sure changed my viewpoint on this type of store to something a little better, after being in an area of the state that I wished I didn't have to go to/through for a vacation for a day or so.

Prices are moderate. I looked for slippers and socks. The selection of slippers was sort of small, so I did not find any slippers that I liked. The selection for socks was better, and I found a pack of socks that looked to be a good quality at a reasonable price. For the checkout, I waited in line for several minutes. The cashier performed her job properly.

I wear a 10W and I have found more shoes at Payless than I have here - maybe 6 or 8 pairs of women's shoes that might fit if they were more attractive. Staff are usually kids or young adults who don't seem to care one way or the other about sales or customer service. I might be back if I'm bored and in the area, but it's not going to be my first pick for shoe stores.

I browsed the store, I found very little tags other than the tan, blue and orange tags, so its not really a sale after all.

I got an email from the owner Rhonda, to vote for them in some Morgantown best poll and replied to take me off their list as I would not be voting or supporting their store after my experiences with them. Then I see below she has reviewed her own establishment? Is this in violation of Yelp's policy? Update Oct 23 2015: Yelp removed the review that I was referring to in my earlier update on 10-23-15 since it violated their policy that an owner of an establishment cannot rate and review their own place of business. SHADY!!
