    Scan of feet for better fitment of shoes - A 3D digital model of a pair of running shoes is shown with wireframe overlays, highlighting the shape and structure of the footwear. The models are positioned on a plain, light background, with some yellow markings beneath them. The image appears to be a computer-generated visualization, possibly used for shoe design, fitting, or analysis.

    Gwen was awesome! She helped out me and my gf and gave us so many recommendations and catered to both of our preferences. Definitely worth coming here! Ended up buying a pair each of shoes we absolutely love!

    I totally forgot we can leave a review here for non-food places, too, lol but it was an AWESOME experience returning to the store again. I went there many years ago, and it was great too, just ended up purchasing more online. But this time I wanted to try on a different shoe, & decided to go back again. Best decision ever, super experience, helpful & friendly staff! Shoutout to Ariel, who coincidentally had the same name as my new Brooks shoes! Ariel was totally helpful & insightful, friendly & went above and beyond! Definitely recommend anyone with the need for shoes to check them out! And you don't need to be a runner at all, trust me!!

    Front - The photo depicts the storefront of Snails Pace Running Shop, established in 1979, with a brick exterior and a glass door. A sign with the shop's name is visible on a hanging sign and above the entrance, indicating it is a running shop. The sidewalk and parking lot are visible in the background, along with some trees and buildings. The storefront appears well-maintained and inviting for customers interested in running footwear and accessories.

    Snails pace is always a goto for buying running shoes. I think the big thing here is getting tested by their machines to see your running style as well as foot formations to find the perfect shoe for your scenario. We came in with the intention to just get tested and see the options but ended up buying the recommended shoes when the price was the same as online. Yeah the shoes are expensive but it's worth it if you're trying to run without getting injured. Staff here are very knowledgeable and will explain to you everything. Ariel helped us out this time and she was super helpful! Would recommend for all runners even to just get tested, they aren't pushy in terms of forcing you to buy.

    I couldn't seem to find the correct shoe that wouldn't hurt my feet. A friend recommended snail's pace to get my feet measured. I was helped by Ariel. She was kind and patient while helping me figure out which shoe would work for me. After measuring my feet, I tried on 4 different pairs of shoes and 1 insole. Brooks seemed to work best for my low arch. The pricing was comparable to other stores. I think it's a good deal especially with the custom care that comes with the purchase. I hope they can carry additional color options and have sales in the future! Thank you, Ariel!

    A person wearing black socks stands on a white foot analysis platform with a blue-lit sensor at the center. The platform has four legs and is connected via cables to a computer or device. The setting appears to be indoors on a carpeted floor, likely in a footwear or running store.

    Such a great place to find the right running shoe for your feet! They have high-tech tools to understand your feet. A lot of great staff to help answer your questions, like Shanoa. She is very knowledgeable, communicates clearly, and integrates a variety of disciplines to help me understand my feet. High value shopping. I highly recommend! -Ben G.

    Trying on shoes - The image shows a person wearing white socks and black leggings sitting on a brown, textured carpet. In front of them are two athletic running shoes, one with neon yellow accents and the other with pink accents, positioned side by side. The shoes are viewed from above, and the setting appears to be indoors, possibly in a retail or fitness environment.

    Today Christine helped me choose the perfect running shoes to prepare for my upcoming half iron man. I feel very lucky for this experience and that she was there too be part of my journey. I definitely feel more confident moving forward in my training, knowing that I'm set up for success. Thank you so much, Christine!

    I stopped by a nearby shop with no expectations and came out with expectations for a great running shoe. I needed a shoe that can last for endurance training due to my intensity. It needs to survive a storm - Multi-terrain (mud, sand, loose dirt), shock absorbent for downhill slopes, and breathable. My feet is extremely sensitive to everything. I was provided multiple recommendations from the helper to test out multiple shoes and was to get what I needed. For sure, service was above and beyond my expectations. Its always good to go to a pro shop to get an expert opinion especially from an experienced runner. Quality is the value that was received from this shop. Much appreciated! Absolute banger.

    Saucony - A person wearing a blue athletic running shoe with gray laces is standing on a textured, speckled gym or track floor. The shoe appears to be designed for running or athletic activities, with a cushioned sole and breathable upper material. The person's lower leg and ankle are visible, with a gray sock partially showing above the shoe.

    10 STARS! This is the BEST shoe store In the world! LITERALLY! My fiancé and I have been searching…read morefor dress shoes to fit his unusually wide feet for over 5 years now with no luck. He has avoided events just to prevent having to wear uncomfortable shoes. When we walked into Crown shoes, Josephine (the owner I assume?) was not intimidated by this fact. She went to work immediately having him try on shoes and then asking what was wrong with them so she could find the right ones. This woman is a miracle worker! She took her time in finding the perfect shoe for him and showed that she really cared. She did not rest until the shoes fit perfectly - adding lace holes, widening one side of the right shoe that was bothering him just ever so slightly, and even making custom insoles by cutting and gluing at least two different ones together. He says they are the most comfortable shoes he has ever worn in his life! Even more impressive was the price which was less than we normally pay for tennis shoes for him! AMAZING EXPERIENCE, AMAZING WOMAN! HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!!!

    I am shocked at this establishment. My husband bought a pair of shoes there. Never wore them…read morebecause he found the shoes he actually wanted (a different style) 2 days later at JC Penny for half the price. He purchased the jc penny ones and went to crown shoes to return the ones he never used, and the female working there said they were worn and would not return. I am shocked as my husband didn't even try on the shoes in the house for me when he got them let alone wear them. They are UNUSED, they have been in the box since he purchased them sitting at the front door. When he came back home after trying to return and told me the lady working the store would not return them I called the store establishment and asked for the manager. The lady on the phone said she was the manager. Her name was Josephine. I said, so you are the store manager and she said yes and then proceeded to say when the manager is not here. So I said can I get the actual store managers name and she told me I need to know what you are calling him for. I said an incident at the store, after asking multiple times she still wouldn't give me his name or when he works and hung up. So I would highly discourage you from purchasing anything at this store as this place is a scam. I will be returning to the store everyday until I see the actual manager, since the woman I spoke with Wednesday 10/2/24 at 4pm would not help me and I believe is the same woman who told my husband he couldn't return the shoes he purchased a week ago. Please contact me via yelp and I will come in to show both my receipts and the new shoes with receipts and dates from both pairs to show that he didn't need them nor wear them. I am appalled at this business and its customer service/employee. If I am unable to get in touch with the manager I will be contacting the better business bureau. Update: Thank you Adriana for getting back to me. Unfortunately, Josephine was absolutely awful to us when we returned. Refused to return the shoes, kept trying to show us the same shoe. We didn't want to see the same shoe, we never wore them so it was pointless. We have obviously not worn the shoes. They again are brand new. Brought in pictures and the physical receipt, that he had from the purchase two days later. Showing he actually purchased the shoes he wanted the same brand but different style two days later. I would even bring the other shoes in with the receipt at this point, but she refused to even look at receipt. Claiming he wore the brand new shoes. Since Adriana mentioned to call or come back, we did, but it was a waste of time. I would love to meet with the actual business owner as we were going to send future business this way as my husband has a good number of employees who were asking about flouresheim brand and he had said he was at a store that sold a wide array. We were told absolutely not, that he wore them and that was it. They again were never worn. Not even tried on for me in our own house. Josephine would not reason with us when it was obvious we had never worn them. I think this was the most frustrating customer service we have received. We were quite upset when we left as we were basically scammed for 165 dollars. I will post our other shoes and our physical receipt as well. Just to show that we had bought a secondary pair two days later that were the original ones he wanted for 88 dollars. We would never had been upset and would have recommended this place if we were able to actually return the shoes he purchased and never wore. Buyer beware everything here is final sale.

    LOTS OF SHOES, BUT NEVER ANYTHING I REALLY LIKE…read more=========================================== I have been to this store numerous times, but I don't think I've ever purchased anything. The store is jam packed full of shoes, but I just haven't loved anything enough to purchase. Maybe I'll find something I like one of these days. They don't validate your parking unless you buy something.

    Went on a Saturday morning. There is parking, but it's not…read morefree. With receipt and validation 1.50$. I was told it was free, but still got charged in the DSW parking area. When I was driving out at the toll machine I was already trapped by a car behind me :( I paid and left... That being said.. As you walk in, looks like it's supposed to be a higher end warehouse shoe store. All the products look great, but the customer service... I tried asking for assistance, but it was hard to find someone and when I did, I felt like I was slightly disturbing their day. At check out, the person there seemed quite dismissive especially when I didn't want to sign up for a member or give any points away. As I finished the sale, I was trying to find my parking receipt and just said out loud my thoughts of, where is my parking ticket, with out even looking up, they said in quite a dismissive way and shaking their head, ' it was the first thing I handed back to you.' There was one person there who was friendly, but it did not equal the rest of my interactions. The products there are fine. Prices seemed reasonable. There was a nice selection, the store looked nice, but the personal experience there... well... when I first walked in and looked around, my expectations were high, but in reality not the best.

    Hello Yelpers! You go, Atlantic Times Square Plaza! Home to…read morean AMC, 24 Hour Fitness, dim sum place, a dozen restaurants, a store with only claw machines, and iKicks. Atop it all are apartments that nobody wants to buy or rent. No matter, iKicks is a hit, the underground parking is free and plentiful, and the chances are good you will leave (to the sound of incessant Pechanga Casino theme music, which one Yelp reviewer said resulted in her son getting bad grades in school) with some new sneakers. Sneakers are the name of the game at iKicks, and the selection runs far afield of the usual mall offerings. Some classic and speciality kicks are there, along with several shelves of sale kicks, which is where I usually find gold. Literally, as I picked up a gold pair of Nike runners on a recent trip. Service was sweet. The folks I've worked with were knowledgable without being pushy. Rihanna's Fenty Puma slippers? YES. Pick up a pair and then it's on to the claw machines. A hit!

It's located near the 24 Hour Fitness so after my workouts, I always pop in to see what new shoes they have in! Such a bad habit because I'm turning into a sneak freak! They carry a tiny selection of reeboks, pumas and other brands but most of their clothing and shoe selection are from Nike. They have those special editions here too. After a night of clubbing, I went to Tasty Garden and saw a few people camped outside the store to get their hands on the latest Air Jordans. Such dedication! *Insert applause* All of the staff employed here are very helpful and friendly! I'm not sure if they work on comission or not, but they are not pushy and will help you. I was lucky to get the grand opening 20% off special. They mark up the prices a bit but its still slightly reasonable since they will give you a discount if you join their club. You must sign up to join their free membership though. The first pair you buy will be at full price but for your second purchase they will give you 20% off. Any shoe thereafter, will be at a 10% discount. For a boutique, the return policy is reasonable. You have 30 days to return or exchange your purchase granted the product is in good working condition. Now if I can only decide on my next pair... Kobe VI or Lebron 9... ;) Tip to the store owner: I may be a bit vain here but the store could use more mirrors!
