“Super knowledgeable and cared about running and ensuring we got the correct running shoes. Took a look at my sons balance and stride and listened to his concerns and picked out the shoes he should try. The knowledge itself was 5 stars, but the sincerity and friendly attitude made this a great place and a great small business to support. We were visiting, but if they were in Virginia I would never go anywhere else.”

“I lost the bottom of the heel on one of my favorite boots. I came in Saturday they gave me a ticket and said come back Wednesday. I came back picked them up and they were perfect. They even replaced the heel on the non broken boot as well so they'd match. It was a very quick in and out service. I appreciate the help so much.”
“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.”
“This is my favorite clothing store. They have beautiful, flattering clothes, and most of it is wash and wear. I'm picky so I much prefer it to trying to order online. The staff at the staff are friendly and helpful.”
“I just picked up my slippers at John's Shoe Store. I'm happy to report that I'm completely impressed by the craftsmanship and care he put into repairing my favorite slippers. They ripped in the back and I wanted him to stitch them up so I could get a little more use out of them. Instead, he replaced the entire inside back of the slippers with new leather on both slippers and expertly sewed them in the back, making them as good as new! I highly recommend patronizing his shop if you need shoes repaired, as unfortunately, craftsmanship and pride in one's work is a dying art.”
“I usually order online but stopped into the store on a whim sans kids..huge shout out to Sandra who went above and beyond to help us. Totally worth coming in today!”
“I went there to buy 1 or 2 pairs of shoes. My feet are very difficult to fit due to swelling and deformities. Salesman Joel was very patient with me. We kept fine tuning till we got the right size, the right fit. Not everything that I was interested in was in stock. I had him bring out about 20 pairs of shoes for me to try. Finally got what I was pleased with. The second pair had to be shipped to me. BUT will be arriving in 3 days.”
“I've had many great experiences shopping for my adult daughters at this store. Laura S. is so knowledgable, and makes the whole shopping experience fun and easy. Her customer service and cheerful attitude are second to none. I recently told one of my friends to come here as he was looking for a gift for his wife, and he also had the same positive experience.”
“I’m a small gift store owner. Today was the Friday before Mother’s Day and it was wonderfully wild at our store. I’m going to the theatre tomorrow afternoon and I have spent the week flipping out that I have nothing casual but nice enough to wear tomorrow. Because we were so busy all week at work, I have not had a chance to go shopping. So about 5 o’clock today I called JJill in Skokie. Jamie answered and put a shirt on hold for me. The shirt looked nice online but still I was clueless what to wear with it. Jamie told me the store was open until 9. I raced over after work at 8pm. I ran into the store, found Jamie and told her I needed a cute outfit to wear in 16 hours. Jamie pulled together 2 of the cutest outfits …EVER. She was so patient and wonderful and I promised to leave by closing and she said don’t worry, we will stay after if you need. WHAT????? Who does that? So 45 minutes later I walked out with two super cute outfits (not just theater wear but over and over dinner date wear, birthday party wear, out to lunch, out to dinner, off to work, clothes I can get so much use from.) Also some earrings, a pair of jeans, a great ivory tank and a present for my business partner!! Jamie was amazing!!!!! Above and beyond (and I left her with 15 minutes to spare!!!) JJill (and of course Jamie) will be my first go to from now on!! Thanks JJill so much for employing such great people!!
I also would like to mention skokie and deer park are my 2 jjill stores. Several years ago I stopped shopping at Jjill because the staff was really very icky to work with. And if you brought back a return it was as if they were doing a gigantic favor returning it!! Not great attitudes, not very nice, etc. I started shopping a couple of years ago at your stores again. Not sure what has changed but Deer park and Old Orchard have such consistently wonderful service. Please pass along my sincere thanks. And whatever may have changed at the corporate level, the results are so noticeable and appreciated.
This is my first review I’ve ever written. Well done everyone and Jamie, thank you again!!!!”
“Thank you so much for getting me back to jogging and walking! I love being on my feet!! If feet pain is stopping you from walking, this is the place to get that fixed!!”
“On 3/19/26 Went in with my daughter. She's very picky usually it takes a few stores to find something she likes but Not this time! This was one and done. Thanks to Nicole & Dan! they worked with her through the whole process. Would definitely recommend this place especially moms with teens! thanks again.”
