Although, we visit every 2-3 years, we went there to find better shoes, recommended by his podiatrist, specifically mesh gym shoes. My husband had an awesome young salesman, who gave him a ton of suggestions. He knew how it felt to have foot issues. While they didn't have the same foot issues, this salesman certainly exceeded expectations, and went way out of his way to help him out. He was very satisfied, as usual, with his visit to the Shoe Box. The staff are always helpful and extremely friendly.

This is more of a review of Marmot than of Fontana Sports. I bought my first Marmot down jacket…read morehere, and it lasted almost twenty years before the zipper broke. It kept me so warm and toasty in the brutal upper Midwest winters. I discovered the Marmot brand here in the 1990s. Back in the 1990s, Patagonia was not considered as "technical" and as bougie as Marmot and The North Face. Arcteryx either didn't exist or was an obscure brand almost thirty years ago. Now, Patagonia and Arcteryx are off-the-charts insanely priced. Marmot and The North Face are considered "value" brands. In any case, I still buy Marmot; it's better quality and far better value than Patagonia because: 1. Higher down fill power and 2. Higher down fill weight I recently bought a 700-fill down parka from Marmot with 220 grams of down for far less money than a 600-fill down parka with 150 grams of down from Patagonia. I was cold in the Patagonia parka, and it was horribly expensive. I had to return. I also bought coats from Eddie Bauer and from L.L. Bean. Nowhere nearly as warm as Marmot. The Marmot down parka that I recently bought is called the Montreaux Coat, and I've yet to find a warmer coat at such a great price point. It hits my knee, although it's supposed to hit my calf, so that's a bit misleading on their website. It's closer to parka length than coat length. I like that when the zipper broke after almost twenty years of owning my first Marmot down jacket, I called Marmot's Customer Service, they sent me a shipping label, and they said that they would gladly repair the zipper for me, for free. When they couldn't repair the zipper, they just sent me a new Marmot down jacket. So, I wore that complimentary replacement jacket for another ten years before finally buying the Montreaux coat this year almost thirty years after buying my first Marmot down jacket from Fontana Sports.

Overall, DSW is fairly standard. Passable. Madison's East location fits that mold…read more I've found a couple pairs of casual and dressier work shoes here over the last few years. Staff is friendly, willing to help with back of house inventory searches or placing online orders for delivery to the store. The best time to visit are the very first day of major sale times. Watch out for those sale periods. There are the best chance to find a deal on that first day. You can sign up for the birthday and point club (and emails), and receive a $ credit on your birthday. There isn't much else to say. It's passable.

I called, sat on hold, then had someone call me back. She said she can apply the discount and then wanted my credit card number. I told her that I wanted to use the PayPal option to check out and she told me that I don't get the discount. I ask why not? She said the item I want is excluded. Really?? They advertise 20% for new sign ups and nothing says that anything in particular is excluded. I told her that she must be able to give me coupon code to use to get the discount and she said no. So then I asked her to delete my account and that I did not wany any SPAM from them No emails, texts, or calls. She said she handled that by deleted my account. Guess what I still get??? Is this how DSW attracts buyers? False advertisement and once they have your email or phone, they spam you forever? I will NEVER shop with DSW.

We were…read morerunning errands at Hilldale and stopped in since I was having a hard time finding a comfortable casual shoe. It was a weekday but there was a steady stream of customers. After browsing some of the displays and choking on some of the prices. $450 for some ugly casual German shoes!!! I was skeptical. I decided to dive in and get some help. It turns out it was one of the co-owners who helped us. It was if I was being consulted by a podiatrist. I later learned that a few of the employees are certified pedorthists. I have never encountered such a process at a shoe store. I learned a lot about my feet. I did find a pair of shoes that fit my feet and my needs and my price point. I am not sure every employee would give this level of service or have this expertise but I will return. Oh yeah - the prices keep this from being a 5 star review.

This is a unique recommendation for runners to peel themselves from the fancy stores and DIY…read more Especially if you have unique shoe needs or large sizes. Prices are better than Dicks and the fancy stores if you know what you want. I'm a newer runner and I've been trusting local, dedicated running shoe stores for several years to choose the right shoes. I've never loved the shoes they helped me choose. The last pair was just not right, caused ITBS. Before that, they were too big....lost mobility. The first pair from the running store wasn't right at all. I'm not dissing the fancy stores. They're helping lots of normal, selective, and advanced runners. It turns out that I don't run in the same gait as I walk. The fancy shoe store tech just didn't work. For the prices, I'm expecting a near podiatrist (which is unreasonable, I know) This year, I must have tried on 10 shoes at the fancy store and REI. None of them delighted... my size was not in stock and I even ordered some in. So I went to Rogan's. I literally picked every running shoe in my size and lined them up. Hoka, Brooks, ASICS, Saucony, even Nike, Adidas.... Every single one. SELF SERVICE IS AWESOME!!! I tried high and low drop. Support and neutral. Wide and narrow toe boxes. Every config...every combo. I ran around the store like a fool. Staff was awesome, tolerant, and helpful but not necessarily knowledgeable. In the end, I found TWO shoes that were unexpected configurations that were AMBROSIA to run in and one was 50% off. Now I have both well padded trainer and a weightless race day shoe. My running distance doubled... I can't stop. My feet don't hurt and the ITBS is at bay. EAST HAS BIGGER RUNNING DHOE SELECTIONS. There's a huge selection of normal shoes. Huge selection of work shoes. Lots of good deals. Friendly service, albeit not really shoe pedagogs.
