“The women there are so kind and helpful. Thank you ladies for helping me pick out two dresses for my son’s wedding and upcoming events.
You made my day with your assistance and experience. Thank you again.”
“I obtained a pair of used spikes and found that the "nails" were uneven; I called Xtra Mile Running and spoke to the owner, Chris. He told me to bring them in and replaced the defective spike nails for free, even though I was willing to pay for them. It was very kind of him. I intend to purchase running shoes for my child, in future, from him.”
“Devyn was awesome sales person!! He was so knowledgeable about the correct measurements and best shoe style for my ankle as I am currently in PT. Very friendly and you can tell he loves his job and likes to help the customer have the best experience.
He recommended the inserts for my Brooks and that made a big difference for my support. Highly recommend store and Devyn!”

“I have had the pleasure of visiting 847RC several times over the past month or so and I had to share what a special place the team over there have curated. When I first began my running journey in 2008 there were only proper running stores in Downtown Chicago where I could get a proper fitting for my stride. Those days are so long gone thanks to 847RC! ??♀️Now, I can simply call upon my friends down the street at 847 to help me feel my best while I pound the pavement. I know exactly where to go when I need to get fitted, vent about my tight IT bands, stock up on goo gels, and be a part of a running community that truly treats me like family every time I walk (or run ?) in the door. Not to mention, they carry all the high-performing gear brands at friendly prices for those of us who know that what you wear and how you feel on your runs make all the difference!Whether you’re just getting started on the path or are a seasoned Ultra runner, 847 has your back (and feet!). Stop in and experience the shop for yourself today! Lake County is so lucky to have you, 847RC! Thank you! ??♀️”
“I had a great experience, as always, at Road Runner Kildeer yesterday. Demetrice (I think I spelled it correctly) was amazing, patient and helpful. I tried on a bunch of shoes to get the right fit and replacement for my old shoes. I just love that the staff here is so helpful and friendly. Thanks, Road Runner!”
“Shopping here is always a breeze! The owner Mark is always ready to help, and it's an easy process to get fitted for the right shoe! Plus I love shopping at a small business knowing my money is staying in the community! Highly recommend Runner's High 'N Tri for walkers, runners, and anything in between!”
“I stopped into the Schaumburg location to grab a shirt and pants for an event later that evening. I was greeted immediately, and the staff were friendly, attentive, and extremely helpful. I’ll be shopping at that location from now on.”
“I brought my mom into the shop and had a top notch experience. Jeff was very knowledgeable and helped my mom understand what she needs. Jeff made my mom feel more confident with his expertise. I would definitely recommend this shop. Jeff helped size my mom and find the perfect shoes for her. Thanks for all your help.”

“Went at the recommendation of my physical therapist to get new walking shoes. I broke my ankle 5 months ago, have swelling from edema & used to have plantar fasciitis so I wanted expert attention to get the right shoe. I was greeted right away and helped very professionally by Gia. The “Albert” scale demonstrated the shape of my foot and arch, I walked on the treadmill which they recorded and viewed to understand my gait - then she lent me socks & suggested four different shoes. All were comfortable and stylish. I bought my favorite pair & ended up getting a few pairs of the socks. A little on the pricey side but so worth the cost of getting the right fit with a thorough measurement system. I was in and out in under 30 minutes. Highly recommend.”

“Everyone is extremely helpful at this location. Isabelle was running around non stop to get us shoes. Not only did she get the shoes I requested but other shoes based on my style. Great customer service!!”
“Lots of shoe, boot and sandal choices. Fairly good size availability but prices are outrageously high. Much more reasonable prices are available from online shoe websites.”
“Salesperson was great. Dissatisfied with the comfort of the Tradesman boot. The sole of the boot seems to be made of hard plastic. Has no cushioning properties to sole.”
“I had an amazing experience at Journeys Kidz Store #7161 thanks to Iseah (salesperson #725989). He went above and beyond to help us find exactly what we needed, making the shopping experience enjoyable for my child and me. His exceptional customer service skills and dedication to ensuring we were happy make him truly stand out. Iseah has the qualities of a great manager, and I hope to see him in that role soon! Really impressed with that level of customer service!”
“Excellent selection, fantastic service and the best boots in the world. This is the place to go if you are looking for classic Red Wing boots. They also do shoe and boot repairs. The first Red Wing store in Chicago and the best!”
“While shopping at Woodfield, the Converse shoes at front of the store caught my attention since my daughter will be ordering custom Converse online.Arthur approached us and asked if he can help. I told him we’re just looking since my daughter will be ordering custom ones online at Converse site. He then offered for my daughter to try on shoes to help with her decision. Wow, what amazing customer service!Arthur was helpful and friendly even though he knew we wouldn’t be buying shoes from Journeys at that point. His customer service left an indelible mark that made me and my family see Journeys at a different, more positive light.”
“This is the place I always go to whenever I need shoes. After signing up for membership, coupons come frequently and the price is further discounted. You can freely try on and choose from the wide store.”
“Every time I shop at this location the customer service is excellent. Today and on previous visits Tally assisted me by setting my fitting room and finding outfits and clothes. She is great about asking the occassion/event and what look I'm going for. Once she has that info she goes to work! With the store having such a large inventory and tons of looks Im very grateful she assisted me today. When I was waiting a few minutes in line for a cashier she even called for backup. Elijah was my cashier who is always pleasant snd professional. My only con for the visit was that the music was too loud. In addition to Tally there were other staff members that offered assistance today. Every piece I bought today was picked by Tally except one. The staff my shopping experience easy and my vaca looks ??”
“Had the most amazing experience! The owner is super friendly and knowledgeable! I brought my 1 year old here because we were having a hard time finding shoes that fit. He had multiple options to pick from and all of them fit! I am definitely recommending all my mom friends to check it out!”
“Such a great collection and SO helpful. So much personal attention when I needed to pull together an outfit asap for a grad weekend. They helped me find pieces I love and best of all can wear again and again over the summer. They even helped me choose jewelry to complete my outfit. Not only was I ready for the weekend but even walked out with a Mother’s Day gift and a graduation gift!”
“I have been shopping to this store more often lately. Ron, the store manager, he is very friendly, helpful and making my shopping experience at Aldo a great one. I keep coming back and he is always pleasant. I appreciate this so much when shopping. He is so welcoming and sincere. I will shop here again, and recommend everyone to shop here.”
“I recently visited the WHBM store and had an outstanding shopping experience, thanks to Christine. I was looking for the perfect blazer, and Christine went above and beyond to assist me. She was incredibly knowledgeable, patient, and attentive to what I was looking for. Her friendly attitude and professionalism made the entire experience enjoyable. It’s not often you come across someone so dedicated to excellent customer service. Christine truly represents the WHBM brand with grace and expertise. Thank you for making my visit such a positive one—I will definitely be back!”
“Lovely store, beautiful merchandise, and amazing service, particularly my recent experience, very professional, but yet very understanding, and willing to help in my request, went above and beyond. They excel in casual, dressy, and business! This is my first stop whenever I have an important event or need new business clothes. A great adventure in styles...awesome sale items always available. Such a large variety of clothes. An array of styles in all sizes at affordable prices! I love a store that puts customer experience first! Clean store, convenient location! that's what will keep me coming back to this store.Thank you!”
“Very knowledgeable, helpful, and warm employees. I’m pretty loyal to Ecco shoes and was thrilled to find a pair perfect for my new job. Great fit and comfort and a classic dressy sneakers style.”
“Absolutely love this place for baby clothes! Everything is usually on sale for a great price. I was having troubles picking out a gift for a friend’s baby, the wonderful lady who was working, who I forgot her name, was super helpful, super attentive, and gave me many options to chose from (which were all hard because all the clothes are so cute!) Definitely come here if you’re looking for baby items! Cannot recommend enough.”
“So… love this store it sells itself…shoes were almost as cheap as tjmaxx… bought close to $200 worth of stuff.. and I don’t feel cheated in anyway…store staff is not there to cater to you and you are free to roam”
“They have some of my favorite brands and some I hadn’t tried yet. I picked up a lightweight pair of shorts and a classy shirt along with some necessities. Their staff is knowledgeable, friendly and helpful, and they’re located near a restaurant with delicious food - Firks. When I can’t get back, I’ll use their website to shop.”
“I have been shopping at Olivia's Boutique for years. Not only is the clothing amazing, but the owner Lynne celebrates women of all ages and sizes. She has an incredible eye for fashion, and knows how to put outfits together that are unique and timeless. I love this store and will continue to shop at Olivia's for years to come!”
“Always friendly. Greeted when you walk in. Great pricing especially on sale items. Discount for military. Great that they offer that. Our military deserve that. Always back..”
“I am a bigger guy. However, I really don't care about all the crazy fashion that crops up every season. I just want nice looking jeans, button down shirts, and 1/2 zip and hoodie sweatshirts to fit right. For awhile, some stores had good clothing for plus size people. Kohl's carried a couple brands that were stylish and fit well, but then they stopped carrying them only to re-introduce those same brands with ill-fitting plus size options. Marshall Field's had a few items which became Macy's, and they had fewer still. The Winston Box, a monthly subscription mail order service boasts a way to find great options for any plus size and truthfully, they never sent items that fit well.
However, DXL (a.k.a. Destination XL) has always had options that work well with my body type. I'm a Polo fan and not a big fan or their house brand, Harbor Bay. With that being said, Harbor Bay's t-shirts and jackets are awesome and fit great.
DXL always has new options and brings in new brands that offer nice options such as Vineyard Vines, Psycho Bunny, Robert Graham, and more. Lately, I love the Lucky Brand jeans as they fit so well, and recently purchased the softest, most comfortable Vineyard Vines hoodie (actually, wearing both the hoodie and jeans right now).
Plus, DXL offers workout closes, casual clothes, dress clothes, suits, shoes, and accessories.
Lastly, the Vernon Hills location (close to me) has such a wonderful staff. Over the years, their staff has changed, but they are very friendly and always offer to help you find what you're looking for or are happy to remains hands off and let you do your own shopping. And they remember you whether you frequent them often or your visits are limited to a few times a year. I hardly visit any other store and if they don't have something in their store, they are happy to reach out to other locations to help you find your size and color you desire. I love this place!”
“I came to this Anthropologie with 8 days before my wedding (yes, it was a VERY fast turnaround wedding) with my mom and both of my sisters. I wasn't looking for a "wedding dress" per se, was looking for an awesome sequins dress. Myself, my mom and both of my sisters each found the perfect dress that evening. And we couldn't have done it without the amazing crew at this Anthropologie. Not only did they make this shopping experience so fun, but they were helping bringing us all the dresses they had, and overnighting a particular dress - only ONE left in the entire country. I've never experienced a team of staff as dedicated to making our visit unforgettable. To everyone there - from the bottom of my heart - thank you.”
