I like shopping at Famous Footwear for shoes. Especially when I get a $5 off coupon in the mail or…read moreif they are doing a buy one get one half off special or something like that. I don't like paying over $60 for a pair of shoes but sometimes I do and then they send you coupons when you spend over a certain amount if you join their rewards program. One problem I have is they usually don't carry a lot of shoes in size 11 and some of them are very tight fitting and they don't offer a large selection of shoes in wides either. Sometimes I need a wide and sometimes I don't, it just depends on the fit of the shoe. Anyway, other than them not having my size and having to order online a lot, I would say it is a good experience to let them help you pick out shoes here. The people that work here are very friendly and always greet you when you walk in the place. They ask if they can help you find anything or what you are looking for. I've never had a bad experience while shopping for shoes there because if they don't have your size, they will order it and ship it to you for free and you just pay for it then and get it in the mail. So that kind of makes up for not having the size except that you lose that instant feeling of gratification that you get when you buy a new pair of shoes because you have to wait to get them.

He was extremely helpful assisting me choose a gift for my brother! He knows my brother's style and could recommend items that he knew he would like. It made the process much easier for me. They have a nice selection of dress shirts and casual clothing. They also had great mens underwear and fun socks. The store is located in an old bank which is cool! I attached some picture of the vault... next time I'll add some photos of the clothing. It's great for The Illinois Valley to have a nice mens store ! It sounds like they also do a monthly delivery service similar to stitch fix for women. I'm not sure exactly how it works but you could check out the website or call to inquire!

I was greeted when I entered the store and wandered around a few minutes before I stumbled on to the cute little bottles of perfume that are small enough to attach to a keychain like a charm or something. Cute, practical, useful! While there was plenty to peruse, yet it didn't feel cluttered or overwhelmingly crowded. They use ApplePay (and probably other digital wallets, but this is the one I have) which I appreciate because it makes payment so simple! I'd recommend a stop here when you're in town.

Driving down highway 178 (Clark street) just beyond the down town business district of Utica Il on…read morethe east side of the street you will find an old western frontiersmen style of store called Mix's Trading Post. Upon waling in through the front door you will either be delighted or intimidated at the decor and style, but do no fret this place is awesome. From 1920's post cards ($1.00 collectors items) to moccasins to Motorcycle Jackets, this place has it all. I stopped in on this particular occasion to look for a new pair of biker boots, I have looked around and I was either unhappy with either the style or prices I found else where then I laid my eyes on some traditional style Milwaukee lace up boots (not those plastic buckle sort of things that look like roller blades) with a nice modern touch dual zippers on the side so you lace them the way you like tie a good knot and you never have to lace them again! Thankfully they take credit cards becasue I was not planning on making a purchase but at $105.00 who could pass this up. The owner is good old guy who checks up on you but does not follow you around and keeps good conversation short. If you are from the area and have not been here what are you waiting for? and if you are just passing buy stop on in and check them out there is something here for everyone.

The place hardly changed (except for a new biker bar annexed to it), and is a welcome sight whenever we visit town, with its familiar storefront and vintage Western style sign. It promises unique treasures inside, and it delivers! The eclectic mix of merchandise includes biker/Native American/fantasy themed tchotchkes. They also sell Minnetonka and Red Wing boots. I saw a whole wall of guns and bullets. My prize finds are vintage Starved Rock postcards and some new old stock glass seed bead bracelets. Prices are inexpensive to moderate. I hope they stay in business for many, many more years!
