“Had a great experience at Fleet Feet. They had scanned my daughter’s feet for spikes and then offered her a number of options and talked through the similarities and differences.
We finally settled on those shoes. When we bought the shoes a few weeks later, the gentleman that worked with us was professional, kind, and educative. He took the time to show us the cross country spikes and explain how they were different from regular running shoes, how to put them on, and then led my seventh grade daughter through all that. He showed how the spikes are put on the shoes and gave us separate bags for the different kinds of spikes. He had welcoming energy and facilitated our checkout asking if we remembers and giving us discounts for being members and because my daughter is a student. Good energy, educated and practical approach, and a kindness go along the way in my book.”
“I go here sometimes when my local Fleet Store does not have something in stock that I want right away. They have a large inventory of shoes and can also get what you want if it isn’t there quickly. Staff as in all these stores are excellent, personable and very knowledgeable. This time the sales person Anne was particularly helpful with advice about a new shoe model and was incredibly patient with my picky self in handling a complicated exchange transaction that included getting some shoes for me from their warehouse sent to my local store. Fleet Feet stores that I’ve been going to for 20 years from Chicago to the western burbs are by far the best running shoe stores anywhere.”
“Loui Did his thing! Would recommend anyone to come here to get any work done to there shoes! great prices, great work and super honest about what work he’s doing to your shoes 10/10”
“I visited the store for the first time and had such an amazing experience! Angela was so awesome in helping me throughout the whole time I was there, from scanning my feet with a 3D digital scanner, understanding what I was searching for in a shoe, and helping me find the best shoes that worked for me. They have a great selection in store and they can order shoes from online as well. I definitely plan to go back again and would recommend it to anyone who is searching for comfortable shoes to wear!”
“I’m getting back into tap dancing, and at an, ahem, advancing age, needed more supportive shoes. The dance staff were helpful, supportive, and enthusiastic. They even gave me a recommendation for a new dance studio with adult classes; I start this week! I loved shopping in a brick and mortar store, and keeping downtown Oak Park vibrant. Thanks, Bloch folks!”
“I can’t say enough good things about Michelangelo and his shop! He is so friendly, knowledgeable and helpful! He’s the best! He reconditioned my old Birkenstocks and they look like new! And, he showed me how to clean my other pair. Out of the goodness of his heart he helped my husband get a better fit with his New Balance gym shoes. I highly recommend Michelangelo!”
“La Jolie MLN was the perfect place to find my daughter's homecoming dress! There were so many options and beautiful dresses to choose from. The team was great to shop with and helped us every step of the way. I highly recommend La Jolie MLN!”
“We love this dance supply shop. We have made last minute stops for tights, dance shoes, and earrings and every time Marybeth is very knowledgeable, calm, and helpful. Case in point: It was the night before recital, and of course we could not find my girl's ballet slippers. It was 30 minutes before store closing and I knew we would not make it to Saxton on time. I called to see if I could sneak in an order still. I paid on the phone and picked up the ballet slippers at the music shop next door. Marybeth saves the day!”
“Cheap, and fast(same day work) with great quality work. To restitch, water proof and clean my work boots was $20. And I’m a sprink… if you know then you know how dirty my boots get(black water). Bring this place all your shoes I think new or old they can make any foot wear problems go away. I will be back!!”
“Popped in today and picked up a new pair of Ugg snow boots and Acorn slippers. Customer Service was great and they helped me find something that fit just right. (After opening and trying on many pairs) Plus it’s a local place, not funding some massive chain store…”
“Yesterday I was fortunate enough to go into your VonMaur Store in Bloomington/Normal Illinois. It should be noted that my friend and I received incredible customer service from Karen in women’s clothing, Ann in Jewelry and from a gentleman who helped us in Men’s Clothing. All three Sales Reps were juggling other people while we were shopping (and asking questions as well) and they showed extreme adaptability, knowledge of inventory, patience, and kindness. We were seriously going to walk out with nothing when Karen asked us to try a couple of different dresses and in different sizes and to make a long story short, we both bought the last dress that each of us tried on because of her incredible salesmanship and knowledge of the product, material and fit! A great experience to shop in your stores and she even surpassed the attention test that I always attributed to only boutiques.”
“I’ve been a loyal ALDO customer for over 15 years, and I’ll continue shopping at any location near me!
The HYP location consistently provides outstanding customer service, making every visit a great experience. And when it comes to their shoes—the quality, style, and price are unbeatable. You simply can’t resist!
Huge 5 stars and beyond for both the exceptional products ALDO delivers and the top-notch service I always receive. Highly recommended!”
“I needed a replacement belt for the big store one where the turnbuckle sheared off. They had what I needed: a solid leather belt for big boys. Excellent customer service.”
“shoe carnival is a great place the prices for their shoes are really good their deals are even better look for deals already have buy two get one free stuff like that this place is awesome it has way more shoes than you can imagine and they will have your size there check them out when you get time”
“Stopped in today to get new sneakers, and had a great experience.
It’s been a year since my last purchase at Peak. I have had 3 iterations of the same shoes that I loved. I expected to just update to the latest version of the same shoes. Megan brought a pair of shoes out and the newest version was not comfortable.
I explained what I didn’t like about the newest sneaker. Megan found me two great alternatives. She then grabbed a laptop and walked me through all the color options to ensure I was happy with my purchase.
I will back for more shoes and gear in the future.”
“The quality of customer service I received was AMAZING. I wish more companies would hire people like the staff at Peaches.Nicole went above and beyond to make sure that we were getting what we needed for my daughter’s prom. I recommend that everyone who works there get a RAISE!!!!!”
“I had an excellent experience at the Downers Grove Red Wing store, thanks to David. He was extremely polite and went above and beyond to help me find the right pair of boots. I arrived close to closing time, but David didn’t rush me — he stayed late to make sure I found the perfect fit. He was patient, knowledgeable, and genuinely cared about helping me. This kind of customer service is rare these days. I’ll definitely be returning to this location because of David’s professionalism and dedication.”
“Corey was so incredible and very helpful! We were given a lot of options to try out and they were super knowledgeable. Store was very organized and clean! Also they had a very cute shirt on!”
“I love this store and am so happy it’s here in town! They have gorgeous window displays that always entice me in and an awesome selection of clothing. They also have a large sale section.”
“Flew in from the West Coast and needed shoes ASAP. Asst. Mgr. Sam took very good care of me, answered all my questions and purchased the perfect pair for my needs. Cannot recommend Sam enough!”
“The process in purchasing a pair of boots that are best for you was taken to another level. Very satisfied with my experience in the store as well as the boots I purchased.”
“Great, clean, well organized store with a wide variety of shoes for adults and kids. They even have non slip and steel toe work shoes. Very affordable (especially at the end of October once everyone's finished their back to school shopping, lots of sales)”
“I’ve never experienced Zumiez the way I did today. I came in looking for a new skateboard after mine was run over, and Chris & Legz immediately showed genuine empathy and concern. From start to finish, they went above and beyond — not just trying to make a sale, but making sure I got exactly what I needed.
Their knowledge, patience, and care really stood out. They walked me through the options, explained everything clearly, and made sure I felt confident about my purchase. That kind of service is rare, and it shows how much pride they take in what they do.
If you’re shopping for a skateboard here, definitely ask for Chris or Legz — you’ll be in the best hands. They’re both stand-up guys who deserve recognition within the company for the way they represent Zumiez. Thank you both for turning a stressful situation into such a positive experience!”

We won't to the same store and exchange them without any problem. I decided to choose other model s-light so I just payed extra 16 dollars. Absolutely satisfied with the service range of products and attitude. I do recommend this place.”

“Although customer service wasn’t able to help me with what I needed I’m not going to be sour grapes and give them a bad review because their customer service was excellent and they did exactly what they were supposed to do. I didn’t get the results I liked, but they were still very good at what they did.The store is extremely well stocked with a huge variety of items!Each department has a good variety of items and sizes and the racks are extremely full.The store is easy to get to from the parking lot. It is very clean well designed and easy to find what you need.”
