I called days ahead to see if they accept appointments; they do not…read more I asked if I came on a Tuesday around 1:30, how busy they would be. I was told people get served in the order they arrive, but that would be a slow time so it should be fine. I arrived at that time, a Tuesday around 1.30 during a non-school vacation day. Signing in on the sheet by the door, all names above were crossed off giving the impression we would be next. 4 people were in mixed stages of trying on shoes with only 1 employee on the sales floor. He avoided looking at me. Within a few minutes, 1 patron bought her shoes. Great, I thought. Closer to getting fitted for needed insoles and new sneakers! A man walked in, went over to the employee asking for a particular person. 'That's me' said the employee. 'Have a seat and I'll be with you shortly'. The employee NEVER acknowledged me. Waiting was a waste of time given I was going to be passed over. I left. Not enough employees to take care of all the patrons. And a sloppy system of who gets taken care of, when. This happened Tuesday 3/24/26.

I was experiencing a ton of foot pain. At the end of each day, my big toe joint would be pulsating…read moreand sore. I was considering seeing a doctor and gearing up for the possibility of surgery. Before I jumped to medical intervention, I decided to go to Fleet Feet to see if anyone could help me. I figured if anyone had experienced with foot pain, it would be runners. An employee, Dave, had me hop on two pieces of tech that measured my feet, gait, and walking pattern. He was able to identify my size, arch height, foot width, and level of stability. Apparently, I was wearing the wrong type of sneakers and lacked arch support. He fitted me with insoles and a few weeks later, wide toed sneakers. Since then I have had ZERO pain! I realized I had been wearing the wrong type of sneakers my WHOLE LIFE. I am genuinely amazed at how much easier running, walking, even standing is now. I owe Dave my life. Thank you guys so much!

Come here if you're not fully into shoes, yet you still want to have something to wear that looks nice and is affordable.

I finally found shoes that I have been looking for here at this location. I had tried two other…read morelocations to no avail! We entered the store in the middle of the day, the shop was empty but we were greeted immediately by an associate. A few people came in after us, but overall I thought it was still slow for a Monday. The salesman came by to check on us a few times, recommend a few shoes and explain the availability of a wide dress shoe size according to brand. The shoes were neatly arranged; I was able to find what I was looking for quickly. The clearance section for my size had good stock. Usually my clearance section has small stock or a limited number of shoes there, but this time I had as many as the other clearance sizes had. I narrowed down my hunt and had a generous amount of time trying the shoes on. Best of all, their stock of Lifestride shoes was excellent! I found some styles that were sold out at the other Famous Footwears. Upon check out, my shoes were much cheaper than I had thought (they were clearance but rang up for about half the price!) I had a great time shopping here (no lines, good service), and was impressed that the associate was the only worker I saw in the shop (perhaps someone was doing inventory in the back?). Be a Famous Footwear member and get coupons to apply to your purchase (download the app, it's useful!) I had a 15% offer which I used. Once again, Famous Footwear came through for me. I generally have a hate/love/hate relationship with shoes. Today it was love! LOL.

The layout of the store is nicely spread out, and there is plenty of natural light coming through. Two very popular high end items I've noticed in the store are the Golden Goose sneakers and The Barefoot Dreams blankets. Both of these can be found at popular retailers, if you're in the market why not check out a small business like Coco Lily! There's also some beautiful summer dresses formal or casual for women. They have a whole section of entertaining gifts, for a host or your self. I was truly impressed by Coco Lily, they will even wrap your gift for you.

After the Avon location just closed (although it will be moved and reopened to a nearby smaller location), they were down to just two. So as of right now, the only Bob's stores still standing are in Newington and Manchester. We visited Newington for the first time yesterday, and we had a very favorable impression. The store is big and bright and neat as a pin. Truth be told, the place looked gorgeous. Not a jersey or pair of sweatpants was out of place. My wife was looking for a pair of sneakers, and found a nice pair for under $50. I was in the market for a plain white T Shirt for an upcoming Tie Dye project, and I found a very nice one on a markdown rack for like $6. The store has sales everywhere, so if you are patient and look around carefully you can do very well here. I think we sure did.
