I needed a "good pair" of shoes for running and I had heard that paying a visit to a place like…read moreFleet Feet was highly recommended. Considering I know absolutely zero about running shoes, I followed that advice and had a top-notch experience. I was greeted by Kathleen, who is a total gem, and was directed to a bench to place my belongings. I then did a 3D foot scan, followed by a quick walk up and down the store so she could watch my gait. Kathleen brought the tablet over and we looked at the scans. She said a lot of foot terms and I nodded along, fully trusting the process. Shoes were suggested and then taken for a spin around the store. They were all excellent choices, but I had to choose one and went with a pair of Asics. I was so glad I had a shoe guide for the journey. Kathleen was knowledgeable and kind. The store has running accessories, apparel, and even nutrition offerings. I'm not saying I'm a runner, but I would definitely make a return visit for another pair of shoes down the road.

5 STARS FOR SERVICE!!! 2 stars for STINKY shoes- the wools does not let my feet breath!…read more The attention to detail at this store is amazing. All of the associates were very helpful. Unfortunately, I didn't realize until after 30 day return window that these shoes smell- BADLY. I do not have smelly feet. These are the only pair of shoes that I have ever owned that smell. I have followed the manufacturer's guidelines and washed them accordingly. NOTHING, I mean NOTHING can totally get rid of the smell. It's a shame because the shoes are very comfortable and supportive.

Ok wow, we are fortunate to have an Allbirds location in Minneapolis! This store opened in 2021,…read morein between Pacifier and D.NOLO in North Loop. I was going to Pacifier to get a gift for my son, but then I stopped into Allbirds on a curious whim, and left with a gift for myself. I honestly had never heard of Allbirds before I stumbled in here. The staff was welcoming, as I browsed their displays. I learned that they're a minimalist New Zealand company dedicated to reversing climate change with sustainable functional apparel (mostly shoes). Into it! I love how each product is marked with its carbon footprint and list of renewable materials. There are about half a dozen different shoes, and I think they were all $98 and unisex. Yes, pricey, but worth the sustainable quality (also, helps that I haven't bought new shoes in years). I tried on the Wool Loungers and was in heaven. They're easy to slip on, the soles are so comfy, and they design is minimal and clean. And they're machine-washable!! Note: This style only comes in full sizes and run small. I sized up from 7 to 8. I've only worn them a few days but so far I love them. So comfortable! Each Allbirds location has a custom shoelace, and ours is Boundary Waters Blue. You get a free pair with each purchase!

My wife was looking for a brand of shoes which only seemed available at Famous Footwear so we…read moredropped by to look. This was the first time we had been to Famous Footwear and it was a bit of a shock. The store itself is a mess with rows and rows of shoe boxes and not much actual merchandise on display so you pretty much need to know what you want before you go as "window shopping". There is not good seating for you to try on shoes - if you can find what you want in the chaos. There was a person there who was helpful but in the end we did not find what we wanted and went down a couple of doors to Shulers Shoes which had a much better selection, a better environment, and more professional service. There we bought a pair of shoes and some accessories. I would not go back to Famous Footwear.

This is the location where I usually take my son to find shoes for his big feet…read more The staff here are friendly and work hard to get us what we need. During this visit, the manager called another store to learn if they had the shoes we needed in my son's size. Fortunately, they did, so we bought the wingtips that we'd found at this location and drove over to the Savage location for the sneakers needed for school. Yes, my 14 year-old son wears wingtips. Most of the men's shoes have sizes up to 16, so it's pretty easy to find what you need here. They even carry these larger sizes in medium width. My son doesn't have wide feet, so it can be difficult to get shoes that work well with his gun boats. The women's shoes on offer are great, too. Stylish and not all super-high heels. They recognize that not every woman wishes to reach for the stars when she's wearing nice shoes.
