    Got some new hiking shoes treating myself for my birthday
    Mercede E.

    I've been coming here for years. Plus I love supporting local small businesses. The customer service is great. They always have excellent recommendations for what you're looking for which makes picking out the right shoe that much more simple and fast. They also have a sale stand out front so if you can score a shoe in your size from the sale section you'll really get a good deal. I highly recommend checking this place out.

    Bonus points for being dog friendly (and non-discriminatory toward my sweet blockhead)!

    It seems that every time I get a gait analysis at Sports Basement the result is different so I stopped by this little store while walking my dog one day. They welcomed him in with open arms and gave me knowledgeable, helpful, no-pressure assistance. I'll definitely be coming back here next time I need shoes. I walk anywhere from 5-10 miles every single day so good shoes are very important and this little store delivers! I probably spent a bit more than I would have online or at a big box store with sales but it's totally worth it. The shoes they recommended could not be more perfect!

    IMHO I was pretty…read moresure I had a $20 loyalty reward burning a hole in my wallet but didn't remember when it expired, so the first thing I did when I entered the store was to ask Claudia! She looked up my information and confirmed that my $20 reward was still available, but it expired in two days! "I'm shopping!" as I headed straight to their sale section! I knew exactly what I was looking for, my favorite Vionic sandals! I grabbed a pair in my size and tried them on. Left sandal felt great, right sandal tight around the top strap. It was uncomfortable enough that I asked Claudia if I could order another pair online. She checked to make sure they were available and they were! Claudia made sure to stack the discounts for me! My Vionics were already $30 off on sale, minus a 15% catalog coupon, and lastly my $20 reward coupon, plus free shipping (when ordered in-store), made for a great deal for me! Thank you, Claudia! Footwear Etc. is my go-to store for comfortable and stylish shoes! Their customer service is unmatchable, genuine and impeccable. As we left the store, we noticed a big box of collected used sneakers for "Sneaker Impact", which "provides recycled footwear in developing nations while supporting entrepreneurship, improving quality of life, creating lasting economic impact and reducing waste in landfills." So, if you've got some old sneakers you want to get rid of, head down to Footwear Etc. in Los Gatos and support Sneaker Impact! By the way, my ordered Vionics arrived at my doorstep the very next day!

They were out of my size but they ordered in a pair from another location and called me just a couple of days later to let me know they were in. Fred was super helpful on my first visit, and when I went back Claudia checked out the fit (perfect) and showed me two different ways to secure the elastic laces. The vibe in the store is cheerful and the selection is good. Prices are pretty standard for the brands (Merrell, Birkenstock, Mephisto, Kizik etc), no big Los Gatos markup. They had some sale items but none that spoke to me. Also picked up a cute leather coin purse on sale for ten bucks at the counter, so that was a good outing. Would definitely recommend.

    Update #2: She She Boutique worked with their vendor, gorjana, to replace my chain. It took about…read moretwo weeks. Emilia, the general manager, emailed me when it arrived and said I could pick it up or they could ship it to me. I picked it up today and it looks gorgeous. I'm very happy with it. I also purchased a small jewelry box and some caramels when I was there today. I'll definitely be back to shop there some more. Update #1: I emailed customer service about the flawed chain, as the owner suggested, and they replied the same day. They offered to send me a label to ship it back or I could drop it off at the store. I chose to drop it off at the store today and the staff member I dealt with was very helpful and nice. They are going to contact the vendor for a replacement or repair and get back to me. Will update again when that happens. Original review: I was looking online for a 23" gold-plated chain necklace and found one at She She Boutique in Los Gatos. I was happy to see I could order the chain from their website and have it shipped to me, avoiding having to drive there. Easily placed my order online. It arrived three days later in cute pink packaging. Right away I noticed the chain had a flaw. It looked like several links were bunched up in one place and wouldn't straighten out. It was disappointing because the 23" length is hard to find, plus it was kind of pricey for costume jewelry. The She She website isn't showing any more of this particular chain, so I'm not sure I will be able to exchange it. I guess I'll stop by the boutique and see what happens. Maybe they can fix it.

The sales clerks are always so helpful in guiding you to what's new in the store and their fantastic sales. Today they had a huge selection of Christmas items they were trying to move out the door with slashed sales prices. They have such a great selection of shoes, sweaters and handbags. I love they carry some of the designer brands in handbags and shoes. They have a nice selection of sizes and styles. It's a great place to grab a few wardrobe refresh items as they always have the current looks and style suggestions. I always leave happy and well taken care of by their associates. It's an excellent boutique in Los Gatos!

    Excellent Customer Service at Beck Shoes…read more I had a wonderful experience with Roberto at Beck Shoes in San Jose, CA Union Avenue. He was very willing to help his colleague Brandon assist me in finding the right shoes on their website. Even though they didn't have inventory available for him to place the order for me, Roberto patiently guided me through the process so I could place the order myself. His attentiveness and willingness to help made the experience smooth and pleasant. Highly recommend! I will definitely recommend this place if you need shoes for yourself, friends and family. I will definitely be back.

    Great selections of all types of footwear, clean store, advanced fitting technology (they even have…read morethe old school brannock device!), but above all, impeccable customer service. Brandon helped my girlfriend and me out, and he absolutely came through with knowledge and expertise that literally changed our lives. I'll explain: As far back as I can remember, I wore shoes too big for me ignorantly due to a preference of more spacious footwear; he precisely measured my accurate shoe size and showed me a breakdown of my anatomical feet. So now knowing my true shoe size, he helped me with pairs of shoes that really reflected what I was looking for--without any salesman pressure--and even felt it while it was on my feet explaining how shoes should optimally fit. Needless to say, I purchased the right shoes of the right size for me. As for my girlfriend, she has a chronic illness that affects her daily with various bodily pains and her feet swell up greatly throughout the day. Brandon saw her issues and provided her a solution that literally made her cry: he recommended the right shoes of the right size; she told me that it was the first time shoes fit her properly with her lifelong condition. For once, she has shoes that makes her feel as "normal" as she could feel in footwear again. That means the world to both of us. All in all, if you are looking for proper help with choosing the right shoes for you, this is the place to shop at. Thank you, Brandon for changing our lives, and long live Beck's Shoes (still family owned and operated, by the way)! God bless.

To be fair, they agreed to investigate and contact the manufacturer, and eventually the manufacturer replaced the defective shoes, but the whole process took way too long and they made me feel that I am a bother to them. The store manager, Frank Diaz, is less than cordial, never called back when he promised to, and generally made me feel unwelcome. For a store with a median price tag of $250 I would have expected better customer experience. I am going back to Zappos.com.

    A few years ago, my partner recommended this place when he bought both shoes and insoles. He gave…read moreme money to buy shoes and insoles myself, so I gave them a try. At first, the gait analysis and fitting felt gimmicky, but since I was playing with his money, I went through with it. I discovered, not surprisingly, that I needed a stability shoe. The staff brought out several styles in more than one size. I'm a little self-conscious about the size of my feet relative to my height, so whenever possible, I don't take their advice to go up a half size. (Hint: it's not usually possible.) I was surprised by how willing the staff was to bring out multiple shoes until I found the right pair for me. Even though they almost always have several customers and sometimes have a line, the staff members always come back to check in, but not intrusively like restaurant wait staff who ask "How is everything?" after you've just taken a bite. The insoles may seem like a gimmick at first, and they will set you back an additional $120. Since they're going to make them anyway, you should put them in your selected shoes. Like me, you will be sold! They are worth it. They will make your feet feel even better in your shoes! Finally, there's the VIP program, which gives you 10% off all purchases as well as between 5 and 15% cash back, depending on your level of membership. Note the recommended number of shoes purchased when selecting a membership level to find the level that's most cost-effective for you.
