“The Runner's Shop is my favourite place for running gear in Toronto. Their selection is great and Darren Weldrick's knowledge and experience with running shoes and running, in general, is unparalleled.”
“Jose helped me pick out my first pair of running shoes. He also did the gait analysis for me, and ran me through all the different options. He was super nice and helpful! If I need another pair I’ll come back here.”
“I went to buy running shoes. Michael was very knowledgeable and helped me through every step making the experience easy and fast. I got a pair of shoes for exactly what I need.”
“My friend and I were shopping late August for summer dresses (yes I know, we should've done this sooner). The dresses are for a destination beach wedding later this winter, so we knew this would be our last chance. After an entire day in the mall with no real luck, she said our only hope was Zumel's. She was not wrong. All the bright colours, prints, one-of-a-kind, standout pieces are here. Forever. I feel like no matter the season, this store will feature pieces that not only create a statement, but will remain forever pieces given their balance of originality and timelessness. As a curvy girl, I've never met a more accommodating team in the entire city. Some places have dismissed me, and some don't carry XL or larger. I'm 35. I want to feel young and hot, I don't want to cover up, or wear spanx forever. Shopping in Toronto can be disheartening, but this store gave me hope. I was upfront upon arrival that I lean L/XL and right away they found options, helped me pinpoint the aesthetic, and stayed true to what made me feel beautiful. Thank you Zumel! This is a new favourite, I'll be back every season to find new gems.”
“Such a great experience shopping a barefoot shoe store in person! The customer service was absolutely wonderful and everyone was so kind, understanding, and helpful. They were also incredibly quick to respond to my inquiries when I needed help with an exchange. It’s clear they genuinely care about their customers and want to make sure you’re happy with your purchase. I really appreciate how accommodating they were and would definitely shop here again for all my barefoot needs!”
“Went and checked out the store and got a beautiful shirt for a steal of a deal!! Wonderful service, beautiful quality, great vibes. Will be shopping there again 100%”
“I had Atrin help me today with sizes, he also showed me a new model and color of the shoe i was looking for, very helpful very nice. Great costumer service”
“I used to be a regular customer at Getoutside when I lived in Toronto. They had the quality shoes I wanted, and that fit my feet. I moved away 14 years ago and ordered boots on-line. Sadly my parcel got way-laid by the mail and I contacted Customer Service at Getoutside and they acted promptly. I had a refund within days and when I re-ordered but was concerned about the delivery being lost again I was re-assured in a lovely manner by the person at Customer Service. I know things go wrong, and it is frustrating but all it takes is some good Customer service to make one feel calm and looked after. Thank you Getouside for your wonderful service and for the quality products ( Boots especially!) that you stock.”
“Excellent shopping experience at New Balance! The staff were friendly, knowledgeable, and helped me find the perfect pair of shoes for my needs.

I highly recommend this store to anyone looking for comfortable and stylish footwear. I will definitely be coming back!”

“Huge thanks to Kyle S at the Queen Street W location. I had to exchange an online order, and he was so patient and helpful through the whole process. He ended up finding the perfect pair for me(and showed me some fun options too). Really attentive, low-pressure service from start to finish.”
“Best store in Toronto for clothes. They have the best tracksuits and all for a good price. Shoutout Brae for helping me find what I needed for a good night out. Will be back soon!”
“Mea culpa - I loathe clothes shopping. Forced by upcoming travel to face my foe, I was fortunate to walk into Set Me Free. Beautiful, well-made, and well-priced clothes to be sure but the service! Both staff served me with care, patience, and sincere delight in helping me find just the right jeans (ending a years-long wardrobe Waterloo). Many, many thanks. I can't wait to come back.”
“My visit to circle shoes was positive. A very nice sales lady took her time, was patient and listened to my personal concerns fitting a pair of sandals. I would definitely recommend “Circle Shoes”with a wide assortment of Birkenstocks with caring staff to get the right fit. Thank you”
“Came today to purchase a watch. The staff was very warm and welcoming and were able to support me promptly and efficiently to serve my needs. They also provided me with free complementary candies which are always nice touch. Really enjoyed coming and supporting this small business and their customer service is deserving of visiting and shopping. They have a great collection of clothes I’ve never seen else where as well.”
“Absolutely love shopping at Trixie on Bloor West! The store is beautiful, stylish, and filled with amazing fashion pieces you won’t find everywhere else. I purchased pants and a top Green dress image attached below and was so impressed with both the quality and selection. They carry gorgeous clothing and accessories from Spain, France, Italy, Denmark and so many other unique collections. You can truly find everything here dresses, jeans, pants, casual wear, outerwear, shoes, handbags, and accessories. Every piece feels carefully chosen and fashionable. Danielle and Joey, the husband and wife owners, are such wonderful people. They are incredibly friendly, welcoming, polite, and genuinely care about their customers. Their customer service made the whole shopping experience even more enjoyable. If you’re looking for a boutique with unique fashion, beautiful style, and amazing owners, I highly recommend Trixie on St West!”

“I had a great boot shopping experience at Corso Shoes. The sales associate was very helpful and friendly. I was looking for vegan boots and they helped me find a few pairs. I purchased two pairs of vegan boots and they are cute, warm and comfortable! If you are looking for good vegan boots, check out this place.”
“Quality shoes and the store’s owner knows his stuff. Expensive but you get what you pay for. Would recommend visiting here over a major department store or buying online.”
“I had a great experience at this Skechers store. The staff and manager were both very kind, reasonable, and understanding. They listened to my situation and were very helpful in finding a solution that worked for me. I really appreciate their excellent customer service and professionalism. Thank you!”
“Purchased online. Shipping was fast and the items were packaged very well. The price was also very competitive compared to other stores selling the same items. However, both T-shirts had an overwhelming aroma of cologne. The smell has faded a bit since letting them air out. At 1st we thought maybe the shirts were used, but they appear to be new and not worn, as all the tags are still on them. It's possible someone who was wearing cologne tried them on in the store, and it's possible that's why they were marked down and put on sale? Overall, apart from the strong odor of cologne, it was a great buying experience.”
“Very super friendly staff , thank you Amanda for your patience and understanding to help my mother get the sneakers she needed. As a tourist and first time visiting there I will encourage everyone to go there and shop”
“Wanted to give a big shout out to Jay, really helped me a lot with finding the right shoe, really cared about helping too with lots of advice, will be coming again!!”
“As a fashion enthusiast with a penchant for luxury, I recently had the pleasure of visiting this hidden gem of a boutique in Yorkville, Toronto, and I must say, it exceeded all my expectations! This high-end clothing store has undoubtedly secured its place as my ultimate shopping destination in the city.”
“My favourite boutique in the city! Such a lovely mix of European brands—elegant, stylish and a touch of hip. The fabrics are beautiful, and there’s always a great selection of accessories, shoes and sneakers to browse. Owners Ranka and Visnja have wonderful taste, and I love how they put pieces together in chic combinations I wouldn’t have come up with.”
“I would like to thank Rachid and his associate for their assistance. Their kindness, patience and honesty made my in store search a pleasant experience. I couldn’t decide on what to purchase and their opinion on my choice was greatly appreciated. I found a beautiful pair of classy white leather sneakers. Very comfortable. Thank you for the perfume, Miss D…love it! I will definitely shop there again. Dian ?”
