Great selection. They are willing to order shoes if they don't have your size. Friendly staff. Expensive but good sales.

My podiatrist referred me to them after having foot surgery. The customer service was on point. They recorded how I walk and gave me so many suggestions on footwear. I picked the Hoka Clifton 10 shoes and will definitely be back for more since the ones I got are for work.
