“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 go to Fleet Feet to buy gym shoes. They are very helpful and want to fit you with the correct size shoe and the shoe that is the best fit for you. If they don't have the right size or color you want in the store, they will get it from another store for you. I recommend Fleet Feet for any kind of athletic shoe you are looking for.”

“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 shopping here. The worker's always went out of their way to help me with anything I needed and we're so patient. They are very respectful and compassionate. Who ever is doing the hiring process deserves a raise because I have been here multiple times and it is very rare that all a business's employees are so welcoming and helpful and yet not overbearing. I enjoyed shopping her and came back with my children. My feet were so swollen and the shoes the worker recommended had my feet feeling well and less swollen the next day. The are Also very educated in the shoe industry apparently ☺️❤️?”

“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!”

“Great experience 12/16/24 afternoon. Really good sale, outstanding selection but wanted to say thank you to the staff which asked several times if they could help. Which they did. I didn't catch the young woman and young man's name but they were polite and efficient. The backpack bags my purchases were packed in are a nice touch! Thanks!”

“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.”

“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.”

“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!”

“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 love shopping here in stores and online but the one thing I hate is the employees that approach me too often. I understand they have to do their job but they overdo it especially during the holidays. Last year I went with my sister and we were both shopping minding our business but tell me why I was approached like 3-4 times by different employees. Back to back the second and third time like bro let me shop in peace. When I get constantly approached like that it makes me think that they think I’m stealing and that makes me uncomfortable. Other than that in the past I’ve found good finds and received good help when I asked for it. I’m still gonna go this year for my holiday shopping but I hope they don’t approach me too often. Also the music is too loud sometimes.”

“My fiance found this place to cheer me up as I was feeling down about myself. There were so many beautiful lingerie outfits in here, anything you could want, this is the place! They have a great variety in sizes as well, I was happy to see a lot of stuff in plus size options. One of my new favorite stores now!
We plan to come back again sometime ?”

“I found a great pair of shoes at this place. But when the giy went to the back to grab the other shoe they did not have it. An hour before someone switched up the sizes and sold them. But the people at the counter were very nice about it.”

“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.”
