The two young girls who work there are good and try their best. The older lady who I assume is the owner of the store is terrible - she is extremely rude and unprofessional. After being in the store for almost an hour (most of that time was spent waiting to be helped), I was next in line to pay, my items were sitting on the counter and she started to ring up another customer who cut the (very long) line. When I said I was next, the owner completely ignored me and continued to ring the other person up. At the very least, she should have acknowledged I was next but make up a reason why she had to ring up the other person first. To completely ignore a customer is unacceptable.

The owner was extremely patient, we ordered her a pair and when they came in I took them home and they still didn't work. I came back in and we tried a different pair, which also didn't work . I brought her back and we finally found success but throughout the whole process I appreciated the extra care and patience given. I felt like she really cared about finding the right shoes and helping us through the process. She loves her new shoes!
