Additionally, Feet First has a 30 day guarantee on their shoes for any time you have buyer's remorse. I also want to share a small anecdote that demonstrates the nature of this store. I have a pair of Shokz OpenRun headphones, but I lost the proprietary charger when I moved here. I asked the person running the store if they sold the charger for these headphones since they sell the headphones themselves. They unfortunately did not sell them, but the woman gave me one of her extra chargers at no cost. Wow! They have my business for life!

As a woman who walked into this store expecting a full sporting goods experience, I was genuinely…read moredisappointed to find out they only sell men's golf shoes. Not a single option for women--nothing. It's frustrating and honestly pretty arctic for a sporting goods store to completely ignore half the population and only cater to men. Because of that, they won't be getting my money, and they definitely won't be getting my friends' or my family's money either. There are plenty of places that value ALL their customers, and that's where we'll be shopping instead.

A variety of name brand shoes at good prices. The have a large selection of brands, and cover the range from flip-flops to dress shoes and everything in between. The location is good. It is at the mall, so if you need to you can venture in. However, the store is actually on the outside of the mall, so you can avoid the mall entirely - a huge plus. The staff is helpful; they often welcome customers as they enter, and happy to help when asked. The store is well kept, and there always seems to be good music playing. A couple of grips: larger sizes are sometimes scarce on some styles. Being in the 12-13 range myself, with several friends there too makes it difficult. Also, it would be great if the shoes were displayed in groups based on type of activity. There is some of this, but also grouping by brands. If I am looking looking walking shoes, I should not have to wonder down each isle to see them all. That said, the I have been before, and will shop there again.

I ask my friend which is the closer sport store I can get an emergency pair of shoes. They indicate to me there is no close by sport store. I should try the Largo mall which is 10 minutes away. I found Famous Footwear in Largo Mall. They have the high top gym shoes that I need to protect me from high ankle roll. I bought an usable cotton cloth shoe and try out in the gym. But after few games of badminton, I feel paint at the toe. I took the shoes I bought that day and return on the following week when I return to the gym. They clerk of the store allow me to exchange. They are very friendly and helpful. I got the next exchange pair that fit me. Now I put this pair in the car for emergency.

And after more googling and deal diving, I found what I was looking for at a store I have rarely considered going in to. The mall this store is located in houses several shoe sources and after hitting the first two and not finding anything suitable, I gave myself an attitude adjustment and walked in. Lots of shoes. Every possible make and model. And lots of athletic shoes to boot! It was fun to have a selection to choose from and I eventually settled on a New Balance running shoe. With newfound enthusiasm I wandered into the sandal section only to find Teva flip-flops on sale...WHAT A HELLUVA SHOPPING DAY! New running shoes and must have beach footwear ~ it just don't get any better than that! Oh, by the way, they will ship the shoe of your choice, FREE, to your home, if they don't have your size in stock. I'm an instant gratification girl myself, but this may come in handy for some.

I might like the Tarpon one a little better if for no other reason than the selection. I ended up having to go to Tarpon anyways to get the bushings I wanted. All good. Dude was helpful but not annoying like they can be at mall shops. He kept me from making a mistake with my set up too. I almost out 169s on my card, but the 159s were the right ones. Independent Hollows, son! I never owned a Santa Cruz board in the old days, but my brother loved em. I had been sweating the Dressen Rose Cross for a minute, so I grabbed one finally! They had Spitfires 80HD Chargers too, which I think are discontinued by the manufacturer. That's a bummer because these wheels are dope. I usually use OG Reed's bearings, but dude convinced me to try Super Red's. No regrets on that decision, either. It was a bit more, but I really dig the bearings they feel crazy fast & smooth. Might be the wheels too since I've been riding 99s for a while prior to setting this up. My sister in law got my brother some shoes and dude gave us a bunch of stickers. I promised I'd stick em on every cop car I saw while on vacation. Good looking out, Westside. I'll see y'all again next time.

WELL. I was quite surprised about Boot Barn. 1) for how it has MUCH MUCH MORE than just boots and…read more2) how great the staff were in helping me find the right hat and signing me up for membership. My quest for a hat started all because of going to the Yelp Cosmic Rodeo and I needed a hat, like, PRONTO--but I didn't like the lack of choices I saw at Target and Burlington's. So, what else is there to do besides now own a quality-made cowboy hat? They have a rather large selection of hats available, but knowing nothing about cowboy hats (and hats, period), I needed a little help. The nice girl at the store approached me and asked if I needed help, to which I was like, "OMG, yes PLEASE!" She helped me out in getting the right size and trying it on then took her time to talk to me about signing up for free membership. Well. How can I say no? I can't help but notice they have quite a few dresses available and they are ADORABLE. The boots looked pretty sweet too. As for price--not bad for what you get. I did a cold search online to see what a hat would cost in Amazon and in another custom shop, and it's right on point, if not slightly less. I did get a pretty basic standard hat, but it's classic and beautiful, and if I'm going to own a cowboy hat, may as well get something that would go with anything and that I'd wear again. (DEFINITELY to the next Yelp Cosmic Rodeo!)
