I tried to time it correctly so the shoes would still be fresh for my race in September, but well broken in. After doing some research and being heavily influenced by social media, I landed on Hokas for my budget, the longevity, and their ubiquity. You will get paired with a salesperson upon arrival no matter what your intent is, so go in expecting that. I had heard good things about the fitting so I did that, got my cute little report, and tried on a bunch of different shoes. The salesperson was great about going and getting different sizes, etc - I just feel uncomfortable with that level of 1:1 attention/eyes on me when making a purchasing decision, so that was more of a con to me than a pro. No room to breathe and make a decision. They were also busy and I felt like an imposition somehow? Vibe was a bit off. ANYWAYS - it would have been more helpful if the salesperson had simply asked what I was looking for and allowed me to peruse before running in the back to get shoes - I could have saved myself some time and left a little less frustrated. They won't have all the colors available, and I knew I wanted plain black and white...which they didn't have in store. It was still good to try stuff on, but I was hoping to get the shoes that day. Luckily I was able to order directly from the Hoka website (free shipping!) and they came within three days. I feel really bad about not being able to make my purchase through the store, but I look forward to continuing to utilize Fleet Feet for all my other running needs as we get closer to race day! I am grateful for the huge number of races they put on each year through their sister company, Yellow Jacket, and appreciate the convenience of bib pickup here for other races I've run in the past.

Our typical usage is "daily walkers" for the family, maybe an exercise class or two a week. None of us are runners, but my youngest rides his bike every day in all weather types on his college campus and wears these for those daily treks, even in the winter. The hours are limited, but Saturdays usually work out for us when we need a new pair of sneakers.

They usually are not lacking in any sizes and are very helpful in fitting you correctly with a good pair of sneakers. They take the time to answer all your questions. Be sure to bring in your old sneakers, so they can examine the wear. These aren't Dick's prices though so beware. Dick's doesn't give you the personal service either. When you leave you are much more knowledgable about your purchase. Will definately go again!

When I brought them back to the store, they told me there's nothing they could do and that I had to go to the manufacturer myself in order to get a refund. They then proceeded to try to sell me another pair of $200 shoes. It seems to me that if they're going to custom fit a pair of shoes and they don't do a good job, and the shoes wear a very short period of time they should replace them.

I told them I do a lot of walking for my photography. Then they'll bring out a few pairs to try on and walk around in. I found a pair of sneakers I liked and bought them. $129.60, a good investment.

It's not a neighborhood that I normally frequent, but Hickey Freeman keeps bringing me back. You can find some good deals on sports coats and suits if you're lucky. I wasn't familiar with the Hickey Freeman brand, before I moved to Rochester. They were big in the 50s & 60s, but they seem to have fallen under the radar in the past few decades after multiple changes in ownership. They have an overall good reputation in the fashion community, with positive feedback in terms of construction quality. I have 3 suits and I'm happy with all 3. They needed very slight tailoring (mostly simple hemming), which added slightly to the cost. But all 3 wool suits are fully canvassed, wool and cost $3-400 each (retail for $1000+). I think if you're lucky, you can find suits for $299. I think they are much higher quality than a similarly priced J Crew Ludlow suit.

I've gotten suits here for under $100 after all markdowns. Hickey suits are stylish but can also be conservative. They are very high quality and are perfect for business. I own seven or eight of their suits a handful are standard staple types and others are a bit more daring colorwise. I do lament the fact that they discontinued the warehouse sales in Rochester where the selection was even better than the factory store. Rochester folks had it very good and were able to score serious bargains.
