So I tried to return it but shipping back to Canada was too expensive. My item was shipped from NY USA, but they wanted it sent BACK to Canada which I found lame. Anyway, nice product, quality & shipping time, just don't love their return policy. I know a lot more about buying leather now & would still consider a purchase from them again down the road.

It's a small selection to go with the small store, but they carry a variety of shoes and have a lot of nice brands, including some Canadian-made, ethically manufactured, and/or eco-friendly ones if you tell them that's what you're looking for. The staff are both friendly and knowledgeable, and will actively try to help you find something you're happy with.

I get great value and lots of compliments on the shoes I purchase here.

This is one of the few brick and mortar Danier stores left. Actually, this location opened after…read moreall the Danier locations closed, so it's not an original location that survived the closures, it's a new location. Once upon a time, Danier had many locations across Canada, they were in most major malls. Then one day, all the locations closed without much fanfare. Then one quietly popped up in Oshawa - imagine my surprise as I was milling around at the Oshawa Centre and spotted a Danier store! Then one day, stores started popping up again. They now have 12 across Canada. Much less than in the past (around 80). Anyway, this one at Bayshore Shopping Centre is the only Danier store in Ottawa. I'm still not sure what the story was/is with them, but I'm glad to have a Danier store to shop at again. Danier sells leather goods. They sell mostly leather jackets (men's and women's), purses, wallets, gloves, and belts. They also sell non-leather goods, like wool sweaters. I have several Danier jackets and they have nice styles and all sorts of colours beyond black and brown. I have a super cute pink leather jacket from them, lol. Their sizes run large, a small there fits a size 6-8. So I'm an XXXS (3XS), which sounds freakishly small, but it's not, it's like a size 0-2. I'm glad to see Danier back in business in Ottawa :)

They don't quite have as much stock on the floor as they did in the old shops, but they had a nice variety although they did not have cloth scarves. The clerk was friendly and helpful. There was a 25% off special, apparently, but it wasn't well advertised. Let's see how well the store stands the test of time - no easy feat in these COVID times - or if they'll end up being a pop-up shop.

How about a small fork with a stamped-out happy face? Yep, it's here. Do you want a Paul Frank insulated lunch bag? Of course, you do! I found my current set of Sistema cutlery, which consists of chopsticks, a fork, a spoon, and a knife. This store has everything that I need when I am on the road. The selection of universal travel adapters is impressive. I'm glad that I stopped by this store. I loved everything it has to offer. (218)

Readi Set Go is your place! They have lots of really cool things that you probably don't absolutely need, but they are just so gosh darn neat, lol. The only thing preventing me from buying so much stuff here is the price. Items are on the pricey side. A fun store to poke around though. It's in The Glebe, so street parking only (which is always a pain in the butt to find).
