“The employee were very helpful on helping me find some shoes for work. I usually buy New Balance shoes because they are the only ones that sales wide feet and comfortable. I have wide feet, so I was able to find the shoes that I wanted for work. The shoe that I bought was very comfortable and if felt like I'm walking on clouds. I wore them today and my feet were fine. Usually my feet would be hurting by the end of the day from constantly standing, but this time my feet were fine.”
“On a recent visit to to the west coast, I decided to stop by Berry Lee for a pair of canvas sneakers with arch support. I remembered stopping by years ago and the owners were helpful, so it was the first store I thought of. The owners were just as nice as back then and helped me find the perfect pair of shoes and as I had researched the brand beforehand, the price was fair. My friend also bought a pair of sandals which she said were very comfortable and she wears often. The store may be a little cluttered, but the owners are great at finding what you need.”

“I don’t usually post reviews but I had such a great experience here. Jane and Marilyn were so sweet to me - and Jane has a fantastic eye. I came in looking for a quarter zip and left with a bunch of fun sweaters, a button down that doesn’t gape over my tatas (!!!!!), a knit jacket, and a unique purse that I can’t wait to use everyday. And I got to pet Ollie! Who is adorable and a wonderful little doggo. Just a warm, affirming, and comfortable experience - thanks, Jane and Marilyn!”
“This store has it all, Free City, Aviator Nation, LoveShackFancy and the best ever: Perfect White Tee! Impeccable customer service, trendy picks, elegantly color coded store, and the team has THE BEST ENERGY! Trust, you won’t leave empty handed!”
“Save up and know that what ever you end up buying will be worth it and last forever in style and quality. I think there is a concept that captures it “timeless “.”
“The Vans store on 3rd Street Promenade is really off the wall — pun intended. Whether you’re after a classic pair of checkerboards, skate shoes, or just a dose of California skate culture, this spot delivers.
The store is spacious, well organized, and carries a good mix of classics and newer releases. Staff are friendly and let you browse without hovering, which is appreciated when you’re debating whether you really need another pair of Vans (you probably do).
It’s also a nice reminder that 3rd Street Promenade still has some of its original California character tucked between the bigger retail names.
Pro tip: Check the back and clearance sections before heading to the register — finding a pair you like and on sale is the retail equivalent of landing a kickflip”
“I’m reading Shoe Dog too, by Phil Knoght, creator of Nike. First Nike retail location, was called Blue Ribbon sports back then. It’s still a sign in the window!!”
“Loved all the pieces they have. But definitely on pricey side. Found both European designs and local designers. High end unique pieces. Products with stories and statements.What I liked are slightly bohemian, quality materials, and nice cuts”
“I have to admit: I live in LA for 14 years, and never heard about this store.I am visiting the Santa Monica area once in 2-3 months, specially the 3rd St. promenade, but didn't notice this store.Last week I had a guest from the UK, and she was the one who noticed the store, while we were there on Saturday. Apparently, she is familiar with their clothes, and love them from London.The moment we entered the store, we were greeted by Chris with a very warm welcoming. He helped my friend, and 2 other customers at the same time, with the BEST customer service I have ever seen. He was so kind, happy, nice , helpful, with an exact eye for sizes and designs. He new in a minute which size my friend needs, and the same for the other 2 customers. "juggling" between all the 3 of them, bringing them everything they wanted, suggested new items (in the exact size), helping all of us checking out , and all of that, with a big smile and a warm heart. What an amazing experience!My friend ended up buying a few items, and so did the other 2.Because he told us he is the manager in Pacific Palisades, we drove there on Monday :-) to check the store over there, before my friend headed back to London.I must say - every business owner who has such a loyal employee, is blessed.Chris is definitely working in the store like it was his.Thank you Chris. You made our day.”
“I love to shop and I really dig Ruti. The clothing is contemporary quality. The fabrics are incredible. They focus on machine washable! Yes! And their clothes are catered to those who travel so think limited wrinkle fabrics. They have tons of amazing basics, quality knits and also some dresses. I have a gorgeous, black lace casual dress from them and also work slacks. Great, broad range of selections. Try things on though - the hanger appeal is not always there but when you put on the pieces, it's when it starts to work and you see and experts flattery magic. They also design for layers which in SoCal is key. I love their cuts and quality. They also have seasonal colors. I highly recommend this designer. Their sales people are very attentive and helpful. I always am impressed by their attentiveness.”
“Quick efficient service. Clean store. Menny the sales associate was quick, knowledgeable, friendly, and helpful in every way possible!
He deserves a promotion!”

“This store is our happy place! I’m always so excited to pop in and see what’s new. I’m amazed by how often the store refreshes, presenting the latest pieces I see online. Of course, the team makes a massive difference. Katarina and the regular faces we see are always friendly, helpful, and informed. I love their advice and suggestions.”
“Great experience. Miles, Diego, and Denise all attended to me. They were proactive, approached me when I looked ready and brought my selections out quickly. A very good selection across Jordan, Nike, and adidas. Will be back again soon!”
“I’ve been shopping at JD Sports for a while, and one of the biggest reasons I keep coming back is Kareem. He went above and beyond to help me—not only picking out great clothes, but also getting me into an open fitting room and giving me his honest opinion on everything I tried on. That’s rare these days. It’s one thing to have someone sell you clothes, but it’s another to have someone genuinely help you look your best.
Kareem is authentic, knowledgeable, and makes the entire shopping experience enjoyable. His customer service is a big reason I ended up spending as much as I did, and I left feeling confident in everything I purchased.
I know management has changed and I haven’t had the chance to meet the new manager yet, but Kareem continues to be a solid rock in the foundation of this store. JD Sports already has an awesome selection of apparel, shoes, hats, and backpacks, but employees like Kareem are what truly set it apart.
Thank you, Kareem, for making my shopping experience special. I’ll definitely be back!”
“Stephanie and Kelly were awesome, very helpful and very very patient with us. Helped us around in the store with everything that we wanted. Would love to come back for the deals and the service!”
“Great experience. Referring everyone I know who needs a suit to come here. It seemed like every person who worked there was A+ but I had the pleasure of working with Mike. He went above and beyond and really helped me in a pinch.
Can’t recommend this place enough and please give Mike a raise!!!”
“We had a great visit to Foot Locker! The store had a nice atmosphere, and we found some awesome blue Jordan shorts that I absolutely love. The quality is great, and they look even better in person.
The staff were very friendly and helpful throughout our visit, which made the experience even more enjoyable. To top it all off, the shorts were on sale, making the purchase an even better deal.
Overall, it was a really nice shopping experience with great customer service and fantastic products. I'm very happy with my new Jordan shorts and would definitely visit again!”
“I came here for my registration for the Nike by you x BTS event. Took the E line subway and arrived early for my appointment. There was no line so I was able to make my selections early. I chose the Nike x BTS tour shirt, a black Nike cap with a bts patch, and a pullover with some BTS patches and LA for my hometown.
It wasn't busy and the place is clean and bright. Thank you to Dylan!”
“I learned so much about my feet with the foot scan! I had no idea my feet were two different sizes, and that my arches are actually different heights. Made a lot of sense in terms of the pain and imbalances I experience. I know online shopping is easy, but I'm really glad I made the trek to the store. I likely would not have bought the style nor the size I ended up in had I not had the in-person experience. Highly recommend!”
