This was my first visit to The Costumer in 6 years, and also my first visit to their new location…read morein Schenectady, at which they've been for about 3 years. They've split their services into 2 sites; the one on Barrett Street focuses more on costume rentals. My visit wasn't for a costume but more for make-up and accessories for a costume, but let me tell you, the costume selection for purchase here is outstanding, taking up a large portion of this larger-than-before site. My purpose here was to seek make-up and accessories, of which they again have a giant inventory. I received great service here. I told them exactly what I was seeking, and within minutes I was given demonstrations and samples of exactly what I wanted - super easy, super fun. When you come here, read all the signs on the doors to find the entrance, as a lot of the doors are locked. The entrance you want is "upstairs" in the back, against the parking lot, the rightmost of all available doors. I was very glad to have re-discovered this store!

The gentleman said the shoes had "clearly defect" which means they can't be resold in store. Their policy states 90 days for new items. And with the receipt they can deny returns.

Overall I had an excellent experience here in this store. We were there looking for shoes for my…read moreyoungest son who is 11 years old and has shoe size that is slightly awkward because he is a bigger boy. We were able to locate shoes that fit him comfortably and even with his wide foot we were able to find shoes that he was able to say fit perfectly for him. My son is also very picky with the type of shoes he gets he does not like to get just plain shoes he likes to have some type of color to them and he was able to get a really nice looking pair of shoes that were not overly priced but looked decent as well. Overall it was a very good experience and he left happy andar wallets left happy as well because they had a buy one get one 1/2 off sale so my wife was also able to get a pair of shoes for herself. The reason for the lack of the one star was because of the fact that they only had one person on the register so the line went halfway around the store when you are going to check out there should have been more people checking people out so that we could keep the flow of people moving in that store. Thank you so much for listening.

Having driven the discount shoe store next door out of business last year, this location's prices,…read moreformerly decent, have since made the inevitable upward climb. Despite the fact the only remaining competition in the immediate area is the hopelessly poorly-stocked Target (and for work shoes, the fairly decent Mohawk Army-Navy) this location continues to drive me to other shoe stores. Their selection for kids shoes is poor. The stock in general seems to be very hit or miss; they are incapable of keeping all the sizes for a given model or style in stock, apparently, and seem to be randomly completely out of some sizes. The staff is very helpful and will help you with fitting if you ask, but tend to be occupied in the front of the house with customers at the checkout line. For adults, they have far far more selections for women than for men, and pretty much everything is now seriously overpriced. We kept checking in here for boots, good shoes, tennis shoes, etc. when we needed them because it's close but as the Mrs. has put it, if I have to get shoes that aren't really what I want I may as well pay $20 at Target instead of $50 or $60 at Famous Footwear. So, we're now giving up and not bothering any more, despite the relative convenience, because it is a huge waste of time. Better to drive 20 minutes to a place that's more likely to have what we want.

Well organized and group by category. The list below is dependent upon season, but this is what I've seen there. Items carried: Sports goods All age/gender clothing Backpacks Socks Sneakers/shoes/cleats Outdoor equipment Jackets and outerwear Snow pants Swimgear Tennis/golf clothing Coolers similar to yeti Pros: Great deals Sale events on top of already discounted prices Can find discontinued items from dicks Exterior door and really close parking Cons: Resellers come from other states and buy out a lot of the inventory at this location. They come with their cell phone and buy out entire styles of clothing. It's really discouraging, because it left the store almost bare in July when I witnessed this predatory behavior that only continues to perpetuate inflation. One thing that is confusing is the curbside parking spaces as there is no way to purchase online from what I can gather. Definitely a must stop for back to school.

We were surprised to see Dick's Sporting Goods had opened a separate Warehouse store in Crossgates…read moreMall. It is located on the second floor where Lord and Taylor was once located, and above the soon to open Primark store on the first floor. Dick's Warehouse offers reductions up to 70% and has new weekly markdowns. It is a huge space with lots and lots of merchandise. Most, but not all of it, appeared to be wearing apparel. My wife got a good deal on a pair of sandals.

REI has opened at Crossgates Mall where Forever 21 was previously located on the upper level…read more The store's footprint is smaller than what Forever 21 had occupied. While Forever 21 had two entrances from the upper parking lot, REI has only one entrance. That second entrance and former retail space has been turned into a passageway with seating leading directly from the parking lot into the main concourse of the upper Mall level. From inside the Mall this passageway can be found between Lululemon and OraSempre, directly across from Michael Kors. REI has basically an outlet atmosphere - concrete floor, steel girder ceiling. Since I was there the day after their grand opening, there were plenty of signs announcing additional percentages off. You do NOT need to purchase a one-time co-op membership to shop in the store. Staff we encountered were helpful. Several times I was approached by an employee and asked if I needed any help finding something.

She spent a considerable amount of time using their equipment to analyze my wife's walking technology. She then spent considerable time asking my wife what she was looking for in a sneakers- in terms of fit and function. Tyler then brought out quite a few pair of different brands of sneakers. She and my wife analyzed each pair in terms of comfort and features. One thing that I found quite impressive was that Tyler had the discussion with my wife vs looking at me even though we were sitting together. Many other sales people in other stores tended to direct the conversation to me even though it was abundantly clear my wife was the customer. Tyler was extremely knowledgeable and personable and patient. She wanted to be sure all questions were addressed appropriately and in the end my wife did choose one of the pair Tyler recommended. This was a wonderful shopping experience and we would not hesitate to return to the Colonie store for future needs. Ask for Tyler if you go and we are sure you will also be impressed.

It had been ten years since I was last here, choosing more recently to shop for sneakers at the outlets instead. But I was not happy with the last pair I purchased at an outlet and desired to shop this time where I could rely upon an employee to search, instead of me, through the store's stock for what I was looking for. Vivian did just that. I explained what I was looking for, and described what features I wanted to avoid. She then retrieved from their stock several pairs that met all my criteria. After trying out all of them by walking throughout the store, I made my choice. But I wasn't finished yet. She had responded to an earlier question regarding arch support that none of the brands of sneakers the store carried had arch support. I therefore said I was interested in purchasing a separate pair of insoles that would be appropriate for my feet. She brought me to a 3D foot-scanning machine that showed the shape of my arches. Based upon that information she had me sample several different insoles that would address my needs. Once I made my choice she custom cut the appropriate pair of insoles and inserted them into the new sneakers I was buying. I got to also retain the insoles originally provided by the manufacturer. Overall, a very pleasant experience. Ten days have now passed and I'm quite satisfied with the feel and fit of my new sneakers.
