“I got new running shoes this week. The assessment and service were great! I’m so happy with the shoes I purchased. I will definitely be back to the Lincoln-square location.”
“Best shop in the city, the variety is insane. Yeezys, Jordans, supreme, and everything in between. This is truly a hidden gem that will blow up one day. Not sure why more rappers and athletes don't go there. That'll change very soon! Thanks Mythical, and see you soon!”
“Soooooo delicious! The pizza is actually amazing — it feels like a special experience with all these complex flavors and the perfect crispy crust! The service is top notch and the vibe is super fun! There are free arcade games in the back and board games you can play while you’re eating too! Can’t wait to come back!”
“I walked in to endless supply and was immediately greeted by the staff who have smiled on their faces and just a great vibe in general. I visited this location a couple times before and they were the first to greet me and say what’s up. Most stores like these blast loud rap music but this one has some chill mellow vibes going on in there and I really enjoyed it. Security guard was really chill. Let me bring food in was really kind of about it. I for sure recommend this. Great stickers as well too.”
“Great customer service soon as you walk in the door wish I would’ve asked her name unfortunately I didn’t but I told the associate what I was looking for & the size and she directed me straight towards the T-Shirt I’ve been looking for everywhere this store has everything you need for big & tall guys great selection of carhartt gear great range of colors & sizes I’ll definitely be back for a sweater 4xl & winter coat!!”
“This store is fantastic!!! We brought in my special needs stepson and Renato could not have been more patient or helpful finding the perfect shoes for my little buddy’s feet. Not only did we find an excellent pair that fit him well, they were priced fairly. I would recommend them any day.”
“While the store unfortunately didn’t carry my exact size (14, which I know is an odd size), Mia was very helpful. She brought me 6 different shoes of 13 vs 13 wide. She was very professional and I would have certainly bought a shoe here if it were not for the issue of size.”
“Bought my first pair of “High Quality” work boots(Thorogoods) in 2020, 5 years later time for a new pair of boots bought Red Wings Irish Setter boots, as long as their open I will keep buying my work wear here only”
“Will was awesome. I came in with research and assumptions. He helped me try on many shoes but he had the right one picked out for me from the beginning. Demystifying the running trends that I found and cutting straight to what works for me. I appreciate his patience, candid answers, and experience to get me started on my running journey.”

“Had the best time with Ann helping me. She helped me find great shoes that are comfortable. She is why you should shop at small businesses. She’s incredible working at an awesome 50 year old business.”
“Nice selection of shoes some of the big box stores sell out of right away. Talked to the staff over the phone and they were helpful and honest. I'll definitely be giving repeat business.”
“We have got three pairs of shoes! The collection of the shoes are amazing! We meet good soul Yusuf Brother who helped us finding the perfect shoes for us and also for his amicable behaviour! Happy shopping at Devon Sports!”
“Had a great experience! It was my first time in the store and first Rothy's purchase and will absolutely be back. Fay was so helpful and went above and beyond to help me select the styles and colors I wanted.”
“I visited this store a couple of months ago and was really impressed with their huge selection of western wear. We ended up buying two pairs of boots and two hats so many great options to choose from!
After our trip, my boyfriend noticed a manufacturer defect in his boots. I brought them back to the store, and the management team handled the situation quickly and professionally. They truly went above and beyond to make things right.
Thank you for the excellent customer service
I really appreciate how smoothly everything was resolved. Very pleased with the experience! Will be back soon”
“All the staff were very nice and welcoming. Very quick and organized. We made it in and out in less than an hour. My dress assistant Issa was very sweet, and helpful with alteration suggestions. My first time there and I can’t wait to go back!”
“I ordered a shirt from them that was on sale. Shipping from Chicago to Minneapolis was fast and they threw in a Minnesota Twins baseball card! Hope to visit the store someday”
“Every bit as cool and great quality as I remember ? just took my youngest there and she was not disappointed!
And the staff are the best in the business!”
“I love this store! You can find the cutest gifts for both babies and women. Their speciality Chicago items are especially cute and trendy. I can’t go in there without seeing something that I’d love to have. Higher price point, but good quality and unique items that you don’t find everywhere.”
“I booked the wallet making class as a gift for my Father's birthday - and he couldn't have been happier! Alexandria was a fantastic instructor, we both had an amazing time learning the process, and couldn't be happier with the end result. We can't wait to book another class in the future!”
“It was pretty busy when we arrived, but we were seated surprisingly quickly. It's always a relief when you can just get your food without a long wait. The service was friendly and efficient throughout our meal.”
“This is the best customer service I have ever received. I ordered online and was thankfully shipped by this store. I needed to exchange the size and luckily was helped by the gem and superstar Elsie. She was so knowledgeable and patient with all my questions. Coincidentally we wear the same size with similar feet description and she literally took me shopping with her over the phone while she tried on shoes to describe the fit to me. I've been putting off buying Fluevogs for years bc the hassle of inconsistent sizing but because of my experience with Elsie I will now be a life long Fluevog collector. She made my experience so painless. Thank you Elsie!”
“Excellent service. My jacket’s zipper was broken and my cleaners told me I needed a whole new zipper, which would take 10 days and a lot of money. These guys did a fix for free in 10 minutes! 10/10”
“I have done a little research before I stopped in at Tony's Western Wear on West 63rd Street because Alcalas' store on Ashland north of Chicago Avenue is now closed. The lady who helped was indeed very helpful and found a pair of boots for me that I like and can proudly wear. I recommend this establishment.”
“Wonderful! I found a shirt online and called with a simple question. What I got was a great explanation of how this particular brand fit. Fantastic customer service. Shipping was super fast! Although I live in Austin Texas, I will absolutely shop this boutique online.”
“This location, the customer service is awesome. This location have a system to scan a barcode to be added to the waitlist to be seen as there are a lot of customers. I have observe in how the employees make sure the shoes fit on the customer feet, etc. I am a repeat customer and knew what brand shoe and size to get and I had called ahead to the store and the employee was nice to hold the shoe in my size on hold. The shoe fit comfortable and my custom orthotics fit inside of the Hoka Solimar 2 shoe.”
“Ordered shoes online but the wrong ones were delivered. Not sure about their QA/QC process (or lack thereof). Could have just easily confirmed if the right shoes were delivered.
UPDATE: Received the correct shoes. Person I spoke with was very helpful and got me the correct pair of shoes after a few days. Price of the shoes was the lowest I'd seen, so no issues there.
Would have been 5 stars if the original issue hadn't occurred.”
“I recently (May 9th) purchased a pair of workout shoes from Running Excel and found the experience genuinely refreshing. Beverly, the owner, was both warm and patient as she guided me through her extensive selection. She meticulously showed me at least 12 pairs of shoes and even took the time to measure my feet and observe my walking style, ensuring the pair I selected had the right type of arch support.
The personalized service truly stood out. Beverly’s attention to detail made the entire process feel tailored to my needs, and I appreciated how her expertise helped me confidently make a final selection. While my experience was excellent overall, the review reflects a 4-star rating simply because there’s always room for a little extra refinement—perhaps a few more style options or a slightly faster process might make the visit even more exceptional.
I’m a customer for life at Running Excel; when it comes to workout shoes, this is my go-to store. The friendly, detail-oriented service really set the bar, and I look forward to my next visit.”
“DeJour Apparel offers high quality clothes at a reasonable price. The service provided is phenomenal. I definitely recommend supporting this black owned business.”
