I am a…read moremiddle-aged female in need of a high-quality running shoe to invigorate my new workout regimen and I had the joy of meeting Sky. He greeted me kindly and listened to my situation. He was as friendly as he was knowledgeable. I took a while trying to find a shoe that worked for me, but he wasn't pushy and he made me feel like he valued my opinion and prioritized my needs. At one point there was four shoppers, and only himself, and he never left me (or the other clients) hanging. Yesterday I went to a shoe store in Solana Beach on 101 that treated me like dirt, so this was quite a pleasant contrast. Thank you Sky, and I will bring myself and my family back when we need new kicks.

But Danielle was so helpful, she let me try on several pairs and once I found the right one she even honored the online price! I will totally be back. I think this is a great spot to purchase shoes if you see something online that they have.

Glad I found these guys! Love my new custom foot insoles. The owner is so sweet and helpful.read more

Very Disappointing Experience -- Be Careful…read more We had a very disappointing experience at this shop, particularly because the customer involved was my 90-year-old mother. When we first arrived, we had to wait about 15 minutes because the salesperson was late opening the store. My mother was looking for a pair of sandals in the exact same style and color as a pair she has owned for many years. The salesperson, who had a European accent, ordered the color my mother wanted and told us she could modify the insert for approximately $30-$40. About two weeks later, we returned to pick up the sandals. At that point, my mother purchased an additional insert, costing approximately $200. The total purchase came to $549.53. She repeatedly assured us not to worry and said she would "make it right." Unfortunately, when my mother got home, she immediately noticed that the sandals did not fit or feel like her original pair and was very unhappy with them. We returned to the store and requested a refund. The salesperson initially resisted the refund and repeatedly told us that she would lose money if she refunded the purchase. I explained that this was not an appropriate way to treat a 90-year-old customer and that we would dispute the charge if necessary. She eventually agreed to take back the sandals and the expensive insert, but she still charged my mother more than $90 for the original modification. I asked to see exactly what had been done to the sandal. What I saw was essentially a small piece of cotton with a small piece of rubber attached to it. I was shocked that we were being charged more than $90 for this. The salesperson claimed it took her approximately 30 minutes to install it. I personally witnessed the work, and it took approximately five minutes. She also refused to refund that $90 charge and would not allow us to take the piece of material with us. We are now in the process of disputing that portion of the charge. The issue here isn't simply the money. It's the way the situation was handled. My mother is 90 years old, and we expected honest pricing, good customer service, and a willingness to make things right when the product didn't work for her. Unfortunately, that was not our experience. We left feeling that my mother had been taken advantage of, and I cannot recommend this shop based on our experience.

She thoroughly asked questions as to my needs and quickly fitted my foot on their 3D and analyzed my results. I was surprised by the results. She explained the process thoroughly and recommended an insert. I have been having problems with my arch support and my Orthopedic recommended Road Runner. Great call! I left with a new pair of Nike shoes with the new custom made sole insert. My feet feel great, again. Oh, and that VIP pressure people talk about. Spencer explained it showing us how the numbers worked to our benefit. Savings in the long run and able to cancel at anytime. No sales pressure as I read some comments. Numbers did the trick!

LOLO is a cute boutique on Encinitas' main drag. My friends brought me in after a late lunch and I…read morecould not believe that I had never noticed LOLO. I fell in love with this little store at first sight. Their whimsical lines of clothing are perfect for a day at the beach, summer cocktail parties or even outdoor carnivals. Every garment has a fun twist on normal. I ended up finding not only one but two super cute shirts right before I went on vacation and I wore them for my entire trip. I like to buy wearable clothes, not couture that stays in your closet, but the items that are always in the hamper. The prices are pretty modest, but some of the items are not too well made either. One of the shirts that I bought 3 weeks ago is missing two of it's buttons and has a small hole already. Granted I wore it about 5 times in the 4 weeks that I have owned it, but if you really love something at LOLO buy two! LOLO is a fun store where you will find clothing that you will wear.

This is a review of the ENCINITAS famous footwear. The Poway location was semi-helpful:…read more I purchased some Nike Court vision Altas online and they were too big. I went to the POWAY location and returned my shoes. They had my correct Size in the store but I declined to buy theM because they had VERY OBVIOUSLY been worn. The employee offered to clean them for me which I thought was a little weird. I don't know about you, but I'm not paying $85 for used shoes. So I went ahead and purchased another pair online and they arrived in three days. (See images) What are the chances They tried to sell me another obviously used pair? Filth! When I took them to the POWAY location they were very nice and refunded my money. The employee explained that their policy is to just clean the dirty, used shoe and resell it for the new price-- and that my particular pair of shoes came from STORE 697. The ENCINITAS location. It was explained to me that the employee at that store , (employee number 295956) who prepared the order didn't clean the shoe before they resold it to me for the new price. I've been a rewards member for years And have been shopping at famous footwear my whole life. That ends today. Order from an honest seller. Reselling dirty shoes for new prices is not only unhygienic but it's unethical and bad business practice. I'm Disgusted that I've purchased ALL of my kids shoes through this company.
