Heather has an extensive knowledge in orthopedics and can answer just about any question you may have about your feet. She's thorough and takes her to assess your feet and you can learn so much just chatting with her! Since the store is considered Medical, you have 7 days to return if you're not satisfied and "insurance is only covered if you're diabetic." They also accept HSA cards which is great! I'm really glad I found this place and will definitely plan to come back.

If it wasn't for the poor customer service, I'd give this store 4 stars for their selection.

Not expecting a big fake welcome, but some acknowledgment would have been nice.

I saw lots of shoes within the bell curve of sizes, but I wear 11 1/2, narrow. When I asked about my size, the sales clerk recommended I go to the clearance zone. Nothing really there, either. If, as the signs say, "We have your size!" why should I have to go to the special clearance area? They should really change the sign to "We have most sizes!" If you have a shoe size somewhere in the 6-9 range, there are lots of choices, varieties, options. Lucky you! For the rest of us... nope. And don't tell me, "Just go to the website!" I wanted to find some basic low-slung black pumps. To try them on before I bought them. I shouldn't have to go online for that. Added note: I tried to give DSW Shoes a second chance. I went to their website, looked up women's shoes, then pumps and applied my shoe size filter: 11.5 narrow. The result was: zero. Amazing. I can see not having a wide choice, but NOTHING? Give me a break!

Generally speaking this can be a gruesome process however , The two girls were really nice and took care of me very quickly.

I highly recommend people shop here. They truly care about their customers and the customer does come first.

Then the guy said that markdowns are not marked off by pen. Then I told him that there were 2 of the same things marked the same way. I went to the shelf and showed him the other 2 items with the same pricing. He consulted with his coworker and decided to call the store manager. The manager said no and it would still need to be at regular price. I've never had this happen. Usually when there is a price difference and you find others with the same price, they honor the marked price. It was an unpleasant experience and probably need to revamp their policies to honor prices that are marked, especially if there are others with the same markdown price!

When I picked them up, he told me Chinook didn't want the old pair back, so he patched the hole and gave them back to me! Super friendly service that goes the extra mile because he can.

I don't go for or expect Nordstrom level customer service, spotless fitting rooms or quick check out lines. Point being, set your expectations! Since I had just gone to the Ross in Eastport Plaza, I decided to take SE 82nd to get home so I could stop in this Ross too. They all have different inventory so it's always worth a quick drop in and walk through the store. Today I found a gorgeous jumpsuit by Calvin Klein for $49 and I've seen it at Macy's for $129. Same exact one. Also bought an on trend pair of leopard print pants. I know, sounds like a street hooker. But they really are somewhat tame, no pun intended! I plan on wearing them around the house as loungeware because the material is so soft, they have pockets, and they are a loose, wide leg style. For $11.99, I couldn't leave them behind. It was Friday around dinner hour so the store was not crowded and checkout was fast. If you go during lunch hours when it's busy, the lines are often long because for some reason, they have less cashiers working during the busiest time. Like all Ross they have the annoying "greater" as you walk in, not adding to the experience at all. I smile and keep walking. At this particular store on this day, I did see a very active security guard really walking around watching to prevent theft, not just standing around which is usually the case. I, for one, appreciate this. Too much theft in Portland and it affects all of us. I like that they have security guards; I'm there to shop not steal so their presence doesn't bother me. Another stop at Ross, another bargain found!
