After having some unpleasurable experiences shopping for sandals yesterday, close to closing time last night I came in. After spotting the same sandals I spotted at the last shoe store I visited in Kingston, I decided to look further. I knew they'd be higher priced the further in I went, but it was worth the extra time, price and aggravation. I saw some Columbia sandals that were my style and color. They were marked $69.99 on the box. I figured "okay". We'll make up for it in the end.
Not a chance. When I got to the register and proceeded to tell them about my brother's rewards card (that he still had open, though he told me once that he closed it), they rang up the sandals I had. I was surprised when all was said and done. They were on sale for the same price as the sandals I found elsewhere. A big reprieve of mine.
They took the cash I gave them, then accepted the remainder from my card and I was again on my way. How come I have never doubted Famous Footwear, even though my more-local Famous Footwear store (in Kingston) closed (leaving this one, the only one, near me)?
I can't exactly say their men's sandal selection was great last night (in May) (as they had only a few types of men's shoes with tons of flip-flops and clogs, and even then, they were rather limited in sizes having only the full-size length sandals) (no half-sizes were available, along with no size 12 in the sandal I wanted), but it was an okay journey to find just that right one when I was in need of something to replace a broken sandal that I continued to wear since July 2016. read more
