“Great experience! Love my shoes! I have a history of difficulty finding shoes that feel great on my feet. I've tried many brands and stores. The employee who helped me at the Pisgah Forest store was very knowledgeable and patient as he found multiple pairs of shoes for me to try ( I have large feet and a long 2nd toe ) and we found just the right pair that day within just a few minutes! I couldn't be happier! I have already hiked in them several times and literally forget about my feet because they are so comfy. I highly recommend Foot Rx at Pisgah Forest!

“Fun old style general store. Baskets of candy, fresh popcorn, Lodge cast iron cookware (beware, you have to put them in checked bags or pay for shipping back home!), dry goods etc.”
“I read about Tops for Shoes before visiting Asheville but my research didn’t prepare me for such an exceptional find. This place is an absolute gem! Denise and Larry assisted me during my visit and they were so helpful without pressuring me to make a purchase. They were knowledgeable of their products and their inventory was extensive. They offered brands that I had not heard of previously and the selection was amazing. Overall, it was an excellent experience that made a very positive impression on me. I will be sure to come back again and again.”
“Full disclosure time. We went to just running to try on shoes and then buy them through my daughter’s discount work program. However, we walked in and were greeted by a couple of fantastic ladies who were working there after a 45 minute conversation and an information dump we wound up buying shoes and they were actually different shoes than what we went to get. We thought we knew what was best for my wife, however after talking to the ladies and getting a massive education on not only shoes, but on how to lace shoes to make them fit better. But ultimately, we got shoes that were designed for what she was trying to do. Lastly, they wound up being on sale and there was only about a $10 difference anyway. I cant recommend just running any higher and supporting a local shop that has tons of information and tons of experience that you can’t get online or at big box stores.”
“Had a great experience here today! I called to inquire about insulated work pants and was pleasantly surprised that they had some holdovers from last year in stock! The salesman I spoke with was incredibly helpful, unfortunately I can't remember his name (maybe Rodney) but he checked the stock for me before I even came in. Once I came to the store he remembered that I called and showed me everything we discussed and also helped me pick out more sizes and showed me other styles. I hadn't ever been in before but this is hands down the best work apparel store in the Asheville area. The prices were also very reasonable. Overall the store was very well staffed, well stocked, and had plenty of fitting rooms!”
“This is a great store! Not only do they carry some petite items, but they have THE BEST customer service ever. They acknowledge your presence immediately and make the shopping experience very special. Tim is amazing! He processed my return quickly and placed an order to be sent to my home. I had my package 3 days later! Will continue to be a faithful customer ❤️”
“Miles Holland was such a help to my husband when we visited on June 5. He was a pleasure to work. We bought four pair of shoes and I know my husband was happy. Thank you Miles.”
“Man this was awesome! They have nice workers and a GREAT selection I got some flint 13s lightly used for 80 Bucks!They're prices on new stuff is Awesome too! They have red 13s in a 12 for only 330! Y'all gotta check this place out!”
“Jamie was absolutely amazing! I am not someone who really enjoys shopping or stepping out of my comfort zone, but she helped me find some great outfits that I normally wouldn't have picked out. I have always loved the staff here, but Jamie went above and beyond and reiterated why I keep coming back.💜💯😍”
“Came into the store was instantly greeted and asked what I needed by Colleen- she answered all my questions , helped me find the perfect pair of shoes and I was on my way…. That’s how you do business. Thank you GB shoes”

“I honestly can’t say enough good things about 18th Bloom Boutique and Event Design. They went above and beyond in every possible way. From the very first conversation, they understood my vision perfectly and turned it into something even more beautiful than I imagined. Every detail was flawless, the design, the setup, the atmosphere, everything felt elegant, thoughtful, and full of life.
You can tell they truly care about their clients and pour their heart into what they do. If you’re looking for a team that’s creative, reliable, and genuinely amazing at their craft, this is the one. I’m beyond impressed and so grateful for the experience.”
“Went there twice, both time were greeted by friendly and knowledgeable staff Jimmy and Neil, they assisted us in what we were looking for each time, very happy with our purchases. When we had to do a return after, it was no hassle at all. Will definitely return !”
“Not sure what’s happened here lately but it’s amazing now. The customer service has improved a lot. The new manager treats my kids better than the last. The last one acted like they didn’t have money to spend even though they have their own credit cards with very high limits. The new one treats them very well and they spend lots there now.”
“(Translated by Google) It is very cute and beautiful, the clothes of good quality, I loved it, I was fascinated(Original)Esta muy linda y hermosa la ropa de buena calidad me encanto quede facinada”
“Anbreail was so sweet she let us stay late and shop around she was AMAZING she was so informative and helpful and without her i wouldn't have found all my work shoes !! Thank you and I’ll definitely be back”
“I think the store is great. There was only one sales person and she was amazing! I just come from the coach outlet where the woman helping me was almost useless. I showed her the two shoes I wanted to look at at coach and she kept coming back to me over 10 minutes telling me what sizes they had. And I looked at her finally after 10 minutes of this and said, are you going to bring me a shoe to try on. I did like one of the shoes… And she actually switched me to a different sales person… But then I walked over to Merrill. For the price of one pair of shoes at coach I bought two pair of shoes at Merrill. The Merrill salesperson was amazing! And helped me and got me the shoes I wanted and there was no 10 minutes to 15 minutes of wait time. Merrill is great!”
“It's hard for me to find good fitting Extra Wide shoes. Sketchers is one brand that I know will fit, with enough confidence that I can order online and pick up at my convenience. Recommend.”
“I had such a wonderful experience at Altar’d State! Bethany and Makenna were absolutely amazing and made my shopping experience so much more enjoyable. They helped me pick out multiple outfits, gave me great suggestions, and were so encouraging and genuinely excited to help me find things I loved. They were both so kind, welcoming, and attentive, and I never felt rushed or pressured while shopping. I left feeling so happy with everything I found, and I really appreciated how they went above and beyond to make sure I had a great experience. I will definitely be back!”
“Came in on a Friday to buy a new pair of work boots and found a super nice pair of timberland pro boots, the same exact ones I had been looking at online, for about $10 cheaper than Amazon. I was so excited I wore the boots out of the parking lot. Well after about an hour of driving home and walking around, I realized that the tongue of the boots was rubbing my ankles raw through my socks. I was very disappointed that my new boots were uncomfortable. Sunday afternoon I went back to the store to see if I could plead my case and maybe get a discount on a replacement. They were more than happy to exchange my boots for my normal brand. I work for a plumbing and heating company and I truly appreciate above and beyond customer service. I got just that. This store is run by good Christian people and I will definitely shop there again!”
“This is the most beautiful store! It's newly renovated and recently re-opened after recovering from Asheville's devasting storm. The shopping experience was outstanding - the three ladies working that weekend - Blythe (the manager) and Leanne and Linda were a fabulous team! They were all very helpful, made great selections, and offered lovely styling tips as well as friendly conversation. Linda has an excellent eye for color and her bubbly personality made my day! I look forward to returning to shop some more and appreciate the excellent customer and comfortable, breezy atmosphere filled with positive energy! Also Biltmore Village should add the store back to their online listings so people know how to find J. Jill - I almost missed them when researching what shops were open in advance. I found J. Jill by going to their website and searching locations. Thank you for a great summer shopping day!”
“Didn’t catch her name, her # at this location was 726245, but she was incredibly kind and helpful this morning! Trying on different shoes can be a process, but with excellent help I found just what I needed! Thank you to her and Journeys!”

“Although, I knew that I took a long time to pick out shoes, the lady there was very helpful in finding the right size and explaining the differences in shoes. She also gave me a demonstration on how to use the leather restoration cream. Overall, I was very happy with the deals that they had on shoes as well as the service. Highly recommend!”

“First time I have noticed the tactical (Valsetz, etc) in stores, so that was good. Close out pricing was even better! Krysten was the best-helped me both times. She is awesome!”
“My wife and I love this store, and the customer service we have received is top notch. I couldn’t imagine a better place to buy my shoes. Love love LOVE”
“Matt was awesome and helped us find boots and proper sizing. He informed us of current sale items and helped my wife get her boots molded to her size. Really appreciate the help. We'll definitely be back for more gear!!”
“Great Prices and Selection on sizes and colors. I like how theyve changed the layout from the other shoe company that was at their location prior. I would have given five stars of the selection on insoles were bigger.”
“We went school shoe shopping. My daughter was unsure of what she wanted. The sells guy Tay was amazing at helping her decide we looked up options online and decided on two pairs of shoes. Tay laughed and talked to my children making it a great experience. We enjoyed our visit and purchase. Thank you”
“Almost immediately assisted even though the guy was helping another customer. I asked a few questions on what I was needing shoes for, he showed me two options, brought the shoes out and it seems to be just what I need and probably the most comfortable pair of shoes ive ever tried on in store. They are Altras for trail running for anyone curious. He told me some cool facts about people and shoe size fitment etc.”
