He's beyond a knowledgeable shoe fanatic, his passion to help people is evident. As I was there, potential customers came in and tried on stacks of shoes. Some snapped photos. Broke my heart, shared to watch! Manager Carla is also a rockstar !! These two powerhouse's will find you whatever fit and style you want. Sure we pay a bit more, but remember folks, we always pay for services, these awesome, professionals are no different. Shoes were a few bucks higher, but the width, arch & style was exactly what I would dream of! Nailed it! To Carlos and Carla, thank you for everything you do for your customers. Your pride shows with each customer you help!! Love my Brooks!

I love this outlet store. Went for the first time this week and it didn't disappoint. I usually go…read moreto the Boulder Creek location, and it was nice to not have such a long drive. They sell overstock and past styles of luxury shoes. I saved about $326 in four pairs which would have come out to about $466 retail and only $142 at Beck's. I leave about two hours to shop as you have to dig for the gold amongst all the boxes. Great service all around. You won't be disappointed.

Yeah, this is another famous footwear. This review is based purely on my experience purchasing a…read morepair of shoes and picking them up at this location inside the Capitola mall. Let's face it, shopping is tricky these days for everyone. Truthfully I never thought I would become a person that would obsess over a pair of sneakers, but as soon as I saw the blue Nike court vision low online, I knew I had to have them. After going to three different locations with no luck they had my size here. When I arrived at the store, I walked in and was greeted right away. They have someone at the front desk who asked if I was shopping or pickup. The associate was very polite to me, at first I did not see the shoes. She checked in the back for me and was literally back in 10 minutes. I tried them on, they are so comfortable and I was lucky because they were the last and only pair left in the store (in my size too) it was meant to be lol. When she rung me up at the register, then checked my account and told me I had ten dollars in rewards points, so I used those points to save money. Overall I am completely satisfied with my purchase and I will continue to shop at famous footwear - thank you

I also really like that this location isn't as hectic as the other. This one is a lot smaller and the selection isn't quite as large, but they still have a lot of options including bigger brand names like UGG and Birkenstock, which was the reason for my most recent visit. They ended up not having the exact shoes I wanted in the color I wanted, but it was so helpful to be able to try them on before making the purchase. Always fun to browse their sock selection, they have a great variety of fun, hiking, and everyday socks. They also have a sale bin that you can often find seasonal socks in, after the season. Customer service is friendly and the associates are helpful!

Glanced at some shoes and they're overpriced and they look uncomfortable.
