Locally and family-owned for several decades, nearly everyone I know here in Atchison has come in…read moreto Hilligoss for shoes at some point in their lives. The first thing I think of when I think of Hilligoss Shoes is customer service. Each time I have come the workers are sure to be attentive, listen to what my needs are, make careful measurements (for example, I heard from the first time in my 30+ years of life that my left and right foot are different sizes at Hilligoss!), and bring me two or three shoes of different designs and price points so that I have options. I am never pressured to make a purchase and because of that, when I am ready to spend money on good quality shoes I make sure I support Hilligoss. That being said, there aren't too many cheap shoe options here--which I'm trying hard to get used to. I also wish I could buy all of my kids' specialty sports shoes (especially dance shoes) here. But the pros far outweigh the cons at Hilligoss. The customer service and quality is unmatched here in Atchison. If you feel like your feet could use some better quality shoes while you're walking along the mall, make sure you stop into Hilligoss and support this great, family-owned, small town store.

I had no idea what I walked into but I swear if a place sells genuine cowboy boots I find it. The Fort puts Boot Barn to shame (Sorry Boot Barn). If St. Joseph Boots has 17,000 pairs, I would say The Fort has about half. I've not visited St. Joseph boots, by the way. I smelled the leather when entering The Fort, and my nose immediately found the boots. Goodness, how can I choose just one? They have hundreds. Not just cowboy boots, but there's a pair with peace signs on them. While I was there, they had an ankle boot sale. I tried on a few pairs and left with a pair of Durangos...this was the first time in the store. The second time, I wanted to see if those ankle boots were still on sale. It pleased me cause they were...oh and the sandals with silver beads were on sale. I'm not normally much of a shoe person, either. They have boot services too, stretching and other services. I absolutely can not stand country music, but you'd never know it by my love for cowboy boots. Did I mention the size of The Fort? It's huge. All I'm saying is, Go there.

After receiving terrible service at another Boot company in St Joseph, my son and I decided to give…read morethe Fort a chance. Not being from St Joseph it was very difficult to access this store, but boy we were happy that we had finally arrived at a place that wanted our business. We were greeted with a friendly hello and my son and I made our way over to the boots. He found several pair that he liked and was settling on a pair of ariats or durangos. He was unsure, until a clerk came over and gave her expert advice and then also advised him that he would get a military discount on them as well. Because they were so willing to help us, unlike the other large Boot company in town, we were able to make our purchase and leave feeling great about the new boots. In a time when customer service is Paramount, the Fort has it down pat

So many quality lines of clothing to choose from. And a variety of styles and sizes. They carry several wallets and bags from HOBO in tons of colors (Mom and I found some gems on the sale rack for half off! HOBO brand!!) Be prepared to spend an hour as there are so many rooms that are filled with everything a woman needs. And the jewelry! You cannot walk out of there without a Piece or two of jewelry! Many styles and price points for everyone. I personally love statement jewelry that is unique and lightweight - they have a ton! And shoes - shoes that you don't see everywhere that are stylish and comfortable. Yes, I couldn't leave without purchasing a pair of sandals. The sales ladies were not pushy, very helpful, and knowledgeable about the store and the lines that they carry. Can't say enough good stuff about this place. The only downside is that it's not closer to where I live.

That's a problem because they have the least helpful staff you'll ever meet. I guess they expect you to walk around the store looking for the size you need.
