How to lose a customer of 15-20 years…read more For almost 20 years, Fleet Feet, both in DC and more recently in Asheville, North Carolina, has been where I shop for sneakers twice a year. To save on wear, I buy 2-3 pairs at a time (costing about $400-600 a visit depending on number, socks and arch supports, etc.) and rotate wearing them throughout the week. Today I brought this pair of Brooks back to DC to ask what could be done. I've probably worn them at most 15 days since buying them in mid-last month; the soles are delaminating. An annoyingly passive sales clerk began dancing around the question offering nothing. I eventually abbreviated his babble about normal wear and tear by observing that it doesn't sound like the store can do anything as just over 30 days have passed since the purchase of several pairs. No exchange, no assistance with the manufacturer, no suggestions for repair? I observed that this doesn't seem like normal wear and that its disappointing to see how quickly these expensive shoes are coming apart and how little can be done. His only response was a dismissive "Have a nice day" delivered in a mocking tone. I turned and left the store quietly for the last time in my life without punching him and without responding. some suggestions for better customer service: When your store has a no refund or exchange strict policy, even in the face of defective goods, you should at least provide your customer with contact information to reach out to the manufacturer. If you work in a shoe store, it might be good to be aware of shoe repair places, or glues that might be tried, or to confirm that there are really no glue solutions that could be tried. In other words, know your products and offer some modicum of assistance, even if it's not likely to answer the customer's immediate request. Don't be snide when you are denying service to someone who has been a regular customer and who has clearly brought in a shoe that is not behaving as it should. Not sure where I'll send my $1200/year in purchases now. But I will find a place to remove that revenue from Fleet Feet, and I will let people know of my experience there.

I was very impressed with how many options this store had in stock for me to try specifically in wide width. I admit, I went on a Sunday and it was a tad intimidating since it was very busy and there wasn't a ton of space. They acted surprised when I finally spoke up saying I hadn't been helped and was waiting for assistance. However, after that initial awkwardness, they were overly friendly! The staff took the time to listen to my concerns and adjusted recommendations based on feedback. They were super patient and helpful explaining levels of cushioning, etc. I never felt pressured to purchase anything, and they truly want you to get the best fitting shoe! I ended up returning my first pair and getting a different one, and they were very accommodating even though I didn't save the box.

Needing some hiking gear for an upcoming trip, I went upstairs and Tommy was quick to see if I needed help, even while he was helping someone else already. He was really nice and helpful in finding a comfortable, sturdy and safe pair of hiking boots. I then went on to buy some clothing and the ladies around the fitting room were quick to let me in. The only negative part were the darn mosquitos at checkout but is it even an outdoor store if it weren't for the mosquitos? (Yes, it could be :P)

Whew weeee!! This…read morelocation was something to talk about. I have been dying to get in this place for years but always on a tight schedule to get elsewhere. This was a Lion and Tigers and Bears OH MY situation! It's quite crowded in here. Not cluttered but crowded. They have soooo much stuff and it's all in order. This place could be 2-3 floors easy!! I saw all of my fav brands at great prices. They have a huge selection of high-end wear for a great price. They have a huge selection of summer, spring and winter wear. The cosmetics and body care... chef's kiss!! They have everything in every color/ scent/ size!! Cool accessories, luggage galore, etc. I did not take a gander at the shoes as I had a show nearby to attend. I bought 2 gorge blouses and a short sleeve loose fitting denim blue top. I will revisit very soon for some more shopping greatness.

Lots of great "stuff" and finds....if you have the patience to look around and dig for it…read more This Nordstrom Rack is loaded with brand name products, designer clothing, jewelry, household goods and all at decent prices. The only gripe I have specifically with this location.....is that it is waaayyy too cluttered-- overstocked with just stuff everywhere! And, let's talk about organization to make things easy to find....forget it. It sort of reminds me of Filene's Basement (on Connecticut Ave) from back in the day or a " sub high-end" Thrift store. If you park on the street nearby this store, you better load up your parking meter to the max.... Because you're going to need the time to roam around this place. Note: There is no parking lot or garage..... so you don't want your parking meter to expire because we all know parking tickets in DC is like paying rent or the amount of a one night hotel stay. lol Other than this, not a bad shopping experience here. There's something for everyone when it comes to looking for bargain clothing that's from designer labels and semi on trend. One plus I will say about this Nordstrom Rack location, is that they carry a large selection of men's business and casual clothing. This location carries tons of business suits, dress shirts, ties and business casual slacks-pants. I think the reason for this is because this location is centrally located in the downtown DC area and business district that is primarily surrounded by law offices, lobby firms, consulting firms and federal government agencies. You often don't find this at a lot of Nordstrom Rack and bargain clothing, places like Marshall's/TJMaxx around the DMV. There are also tons of men's athletic shoes, casual sneakers, great running shoes and dress shoes. In all, you can't go wrong shopping here. Although, the Pentagon City location is more my speed. This location is not all bad. Lots of good finds and decent customer service. Just have a little patience and time to roam around this treasure trove!

CAVEAT EMPTOR! If Nash's Sports (LENFANT Plaza, SW Washington, DC) were the only shoe store on…read moreGilligan's Island, I would go barefooted. I am a repeat customer and have purchased expensive shoes from this place before. But after today's experience, I am through with them. This is 7/25/2013 Purchased a pair of Rockport shoes from Nash's Sports located at 701A Lenfant Plaza, SW Washington, DC 7/29/2013 Wore shoes to work. The back of the shoe dug into my ankle and took a chunk of flesh. Had to treat ankle and put a band aid to stop the bleeding. 7/31/2013 11:00 A.M. Went to the store in person to return the shoes. The person in the store advised that the policy is that once the shoes have been worn even only one time, there are no returns or exchanges. He advised that I could speak with the owner but he would not get to the store until 3:00 P.M. 3:00 P.M. I called the store and spoke with a rude employee. He said the owner might get in at 4:00 or whenever. I asked for the owner's name and he said Nash, Mr. Nash. He went on to angrily quote the store policy to me and yelled since you now own the shoes if you cannot wear them, donate them to charity and hung up. I called back and spoke with George. I tried to get the name of the person who hung up on me and he said there was no way he could tell, there were 3 of them in all and he was not sure who it was. I explained my situation and George said he was the person I spoke with in the store earlier that day. He said the owner was not in yet but it was best to not call and see him in person. I advised that made no sense because no one could say for sure if and when the owner was coming in and I would have to keep going to the store multiple times in hopes of catching up with the owner. George re-stated what the policy was and said he did not have the authority to override it, only the owner could. Cool, but not since no one wanted to take my information to get back with me and only Columbo could catch up with Mr. Nash!
