“Vanessa was super attentive, kind, and made my experience so relaxing and enjoyable! I really liked the huge selection of shoes they have, and they can special order shoes too! They also can measure your foot arch, width, heel size, etc to fit you with an anatomically correct shoe, which I thought was awesome. Overall, very cool store, and I’m so excited to wear my new shoes!”
“I brought my mom here today to Beck’s Shoes in Modesto to try on Hoka shoes. Mistie Larken, who is the team leader, was SO helpful today and helped her pick out a beautiful, new pair of Hoka shoes. Thank you, Mistie!”
“I love DXL! Amazing customer service, staff is always so kind and willing to help. Always smells delightful in there. Tons of options for bigger men. Lovely atmosphere and size options overall, I enjoy coming here, and I've gotten some of my favorite big T-shirts from here ? Also a worker who's always there, I can't remember his name though ? He always recognizes my family and I when we go and he's very nice, love him.”
“First time coming in and needed some work pants. I told Taylor what I was looking for and she got me exactly what I needed. I went in the store, tried 3 different pants on and checked out in under 10 minutes. Taylor has exceptional customer service.”
“TL;DR:
Best dance store experience we’ve ever had. Incredibly kind, attentive, inclusive, beautifully curated, and 1000x better than buying online. This is our forever dance store.
Full review:
This was our second visit to The Dance Bag in Modesto, and I will never buy dance supplies online again. My daughter is in her second year of dancing, and every single time we’ve come in, we’ve felt genuinely welcomed and personally helped. No appointment, no rushing, no pressure. They take the time to properly fit her, explain things, and connect with her in a way that makes her feel comfortable and confident. They are truly exceptional with children, even very young ones.
The store itself is clean, beautifully organized, and thoughtfully laid out. They carry high-quality, trusted dance brands like Bloch and Capezio, and other styles and I was impressed with the variety of both narrow and wide foot shapes. I also just love the store’s overall vibe. Their gifts, trinkets, and accessories don’t feel like random add-ons or filler like most other stores but every item feels intentionally chosen and perfectly matched to the store’s clientele. It’s joyful, cohesive, and honestly just delightful to browse.
One thing that really matters to me is inclusivity as we are a mixed race family and to be frankly honest, ballet spaces in particular have not always felt welcoming or inclusive for me growing up in the dance world. But this store absolutely feels like a safe space for all. The ballerina dolls, ornaments, and stuffed animals reflect a range of skin tones and wasn’t just one narrow image of what a dancer looks like. That representation is noticed, felt, and deeply appreciated.
The Dance Bag is kind, inclusive, professional, and clearly run with heart. I’ll be coming here for as long as my daughter dances and we are in the area.”
“Excellent for myself kids or grandkids, large selection of backpack ? Blank shirts, or printed shorts Sweat, pants, hoodies, even socks, close To the freeway. Less than 10 minutes happy friendly, very professional owner and worker greets everybody just an experience you do not find out any other clothing store Now I know the reason why they’ve been in business so long, good merchandise, very friendly. Great location many other stores in shopping Center A few Food places In walking distance, definitely will be going back telling any of my friends or family that will listen ?? #SupportSmallBusiness”
“These young ladies were not only patient, they kept reminding me that they wanted the rite shoes for me. I'm rude, straight to the point, and I don't like people! And these ladies were tough and straight forward and made sure I left with the right boots. I'll be coming back for a new pair of shoes.”
“The salesperson Daniel was really nice and very helpful. He grabbed mine and my girlfriend’s shoe sizes and color that we wanted. We felt terrible about when he was tying our shoes to get a perfect fit. Then at the last minute, we decided on a different color. I felt like a jerk doing that to him, but I’m happy to say he did everything we asked for. He had a great attitude and he was really fast.”
“It's hard to be a good pair of Skechers. They have a great sale going on buy one pair and get the other for 50% off. I was able to get too long lasting pair of shoes for under $100”
“Anything you want or need at this store for western wear. F they don’t have it in the store you can have it delivered to the store or to your home. Really helpful and nice staff inside the store. I love my boots. There is plenty of free and safe parking and ADA parking. The store is easy to locate in the Modesto Plaza Parkway. If you need your foot sized or have questions the staff is great. There is something for everyone in the family to get at this store. Their collection will f turquoise and silver jewelry is too much to choose from. Everything is simply adorable.”
“Husband and I went in to shop today and was helped by JT. We bought 2 pairs of shoes and his help from beginning to end was outstanding! Wish other stores had employees with his kind of customer service! Thanks JT!”
“I took both of my daughters in to their favorite store and immediately we were Greeted with a hello, and if we need help to just let the staff know, I want to personally Thank all three of the gentleman who helped us we were in the store for approximately about an hour lol My girls’s left happy and with the gear they wanted so shout out to you guys thank you again for all your help oh, and one last thing, the music choice on the playlist was it🤌🏻”
“Anne at the mall location was amazing. She was professional, very helpful, and very nice. Because of my experience with her Im leaving a 5 star rating. The Riverbank location is not good. I will never return to that location but the Vintage Faire location 5 stars and Anne the representative at that location is amazing, awesome and extremely helpful and professional.”
“Fantastic Customer Service! I've been to the Stride Rite, at the Vintage Fair Mall location, multiple times. Every staff member that I've encountered has been very friendly and patient, ensuring that I find the perfect pair of footwear. They've always had my size in stock, and have a really great selection of Uggs and Birkenstock, as well as the cutest footwear for babies! 100% recommend this location!”
“The ladies Mia and Itzel helped me clarify my questions and tried their best patiently attending to me—even if I was not going to buy. I was looking for particular models of Reef and Olukai flip flops. I also visited the Flip Flop store in Manteca, and I understood that I have to buy them online; at least, I learned how to do it. Thank you again, Mia & Itzel!”
“I took my kids in for some back to school shopping, and Jasmin was FANTASTIC! She was so friendly and warm during our interaction, that I felt compelled to write about it. She helped find the right sizes for my kids, had them try the shoes on and walk around in them, and completely made the interaction seamless from start to finish. I'm so happy we went in and worked with her. I will absolutely return to buy from here again!”
“I had a great experience at Shiekh in the mall! Glenda helped us, and she was amazing—super kind, patient, and welcoming. She gives you space to look around without pressuring you, which I really appreciated. She has such a great vibe and makes you feel comfortable right away.
They also have really good prices, which makes the experience even better. I love that they speak both Spanish and English, so it’s easy to communicate.
Mauricio was also very helpful and attentive. Overall, the customer service here is excellent. I’ll definitely be coming back!”
“I stopped by this past Saturday to pick up my pair of white cement 4s I had reserved on the app, I picked up my pair and didn’t checked it throughly since I didn’t want to take up so much time since there was a line behind me, once I got to my car I noticed one of the shoes had a factory defect so I decided to go back inside the store I spoke with the manager about the issue and with no hesitation he helped me out and gave me a better, that manager deserves a raise he was really helpful even though the store was busy he still made time to make it right for me, I will define to be shopping here again thanks to the manager of the store customer service”

“I came into the store looking for some shoes. I couldn't find the ones I needed and I was very lost. A very beautiful looking employee by the name of Isabel came to me and asked if I needed anything. Her kindness was beyond any I've gotten at other stores. She helped me decide what shoes I wanted right away. I was very thankful for her and her help.This beautiful creature deserves a raise!!!”
“I went in to collect an online order that had been placed by my wife. The employee was courteous and patient as she explained there's no order. I called my wife who then tells me that she forgot to order it. I asked if I can just purchase the item at the discounted price listed on the online order. The employee examined the price and concluded that there were additional discounts. That really made my wife's day.
Thanks again Champs!”
