Staff is very helpful and guided me through diverse shoe models evaluation, they listen to you and give you the best type of shoe you need. Definitely recommend coming and take the exam so you know what's best for your feet even if you work retail.”

I really appreciated his patience, knowledge, and honesty throughout the conversation.”
“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!”
“I wanted to send a quick note to say how happy I was with my purchase today.
I visited the store just after lunch and met Gary, who was wonderful to work with. He really knew his stuff, and it was clear that he is an expert in his field. He had me walk in front of him and was able to identify exactly what kind of shoe I needed just by analyzing my gait.
I could tell he was very serious about his work and truly knew what he was talking about. I went with his suggestion, and I am quite happy with the results. The shoes he picked out appear to be fantastic for running, which is a topic Gary and I discussed at length.
This store clearly knows what they are doing and offers a great selection of running shoes and accessories. I will certainly be coming back again and again.
Best regards,
Abe”
“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”
“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!”
“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”
“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”
“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…”
“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!”
“Enjoyed my experience here today. Very knowledgeable and kind. Gave me numerous options to help me narrow down until I found my perfect fit. Would recommend to anyone in the area. Even if you don’t find what you’re looking for, I guarantee you’ll leave with a much better idea of shaping and sizing and preference. You can tell these guys have a passion for sharing their expertise with others. Thanks!”
“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!”
“Such a pleasant experience - I had pre-ordered the wrong size of Taos sandals and they handled it beautifully- I ended up with the right size, in a color I didn’t anticipate liking, and the service was top notch. I’ll be back for sure!”
“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!”
“Cory is an angel! He went above and beyond to find the right pair of shoes for my very picky daughter’s homecoming. He was so knowledgeable, sweet and helpful, this was one of the best shoe shopping experiences we’ve had. He needs a raise!”
“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 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.”
“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.”
“GREAT CUSTOMER SERVICE!!! A handsome young man named Xavier went above and beyond whilst helping me find some shoes for my daughter. I wasn’t able to figure out what she liked up until Xavier started asking questions about her style, the shoes that she owned now, etc. 10/10 experience!”
“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.”
“Oh, my dear, let me tell you about my recent experience at this store! I must say, over the years, I've noticed a decline in the quality of their clothes. But fret not, they still offer some delightful sales from time to time, and I simply adore their clothes. The service, oh my, the service was truly exceptional! Though I must admit, it became a tad overbearing with all the workers continuously asking if I was finding everything alright. Bless their hearts, they mean well. They even fetched me a fitting room and kindly inquired if I needed any different sizes while I was in there. However, I had a bit of a hiccup when it was time to check out. There was only one worker nearby, she seemed too occupied with her phone. Once she finally noticed me, instead of checking me out herself, she asked another worker to assist me. Poor dear, the young girl looked utterly exhausted, carrying a stack of clothes in her arms as made her way to the register. Nonetheless, she managed to check me out and even applied the deal I saw online, which turned out to be better than what was available in the store! Overall, my shopping experience was satisfactory, but I do hope they pay more attention to the service and the weary workers in the future. Nevertheless, if you catch them during one of those fabulous sales, it's worth a visit!”
