“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.”
“There is a ton of stuff in this place. Lots of top notch brands, and a variety of sizes. I like to think of it as an old school men’s store, with a large focus on working gear. It they don’t have it, they’ll order it for you, too. I’ve probably been going to this store for about 25 years, on and off.”
“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.”
“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 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!”
“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!”

“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.”

“Even though I did not buy any shoes my salesman was helpful courteous and knowledgeable. I felt no pressure to buy anything and I will definitely return in the future.”
“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!”
“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.”
“Beautifully curated athletic wear with solid brands. I had to stop myself before spending all my monies. I cannot wait to be back and get a hoodie and running shoes!”
“Almost Everything is available here. You can get a replacement if you want when you purchase from here. The staff were good, but we have to find the right pair on our own, they'll just direct you to the aisle that you're looking for.”
“I am fairly new to the neighborhood since we moved in during the pandemic. I had no idea the boutique existed. So glad I went in. In need of a gift and found so many great quality well made items. Going back to treat myself soon!
Very hospitable and welcoming environment! Love all the stylish items cause ladies over 50 can still rico it!”
“LED and Safety is one of the only stores I would highly recommend to anyone looking for safety/ Hi-VIS wear of the best quality for the lowest possible prices. First and foremost, my experience with the owner was unforgettable. He made me feel comfortable with my every purchase and was extremely knowledgeable on all merchandise. It is quite obvious all items retailed are chosen with care, as I did not see a single one in the well-curated shop that was not of the highest quality in terms of brand, craftsmanship, and product reliability. Considering I am a highly-selective shopper, I rarely purchase multiple items from the same shop. As seen in the photos, I cannot get enough of LED and Safety. Visit the site, stop in and peruse for yourself- do whatever you have to do to purchase from such a reliable, trusted source. LED and Safety is definitely a must-visit, hidden local gem.”
