Store is just off of the interstate, tucked into a visibly obstructed corner with plenty of shared Southern Shopping Center parking. Employees are friendly and willing to help; one even allowed me to use their non-public restroom. It was a #1 emergency! Store is clean and well lit with an average amount of space to browse. Nike, Adidas, Vans, and New Balance were once reliably stocked in sizes needed by our entire family. Now, I've noticed stock has dwindled, not to mention replaced by "other" brands like Reebok, Fila, and K Swiss. This approach is further complicated their pricing strategy. Inflation aside, we used to score those popular brands for ~$20. Now, there's less of them with nothing under $40 WITH SALES! I understand the desire to introduce more variety; however, I'd selfishly suggest NOT sacrificing the availability of more relevant/popular brands.

Prompt greeting, friendly service, clean store. Back to school shoe shopping with kids in tote…read more Despite a fairly empty store, there's not a ton of space to browse. Shoes arranged in less than obvious wall convention. Basically, to the left of a certain point are little kids sizes while to the right was 4Y and above. Lots of industry recognized name brands: Nike, Adidas, New Balance, and Vans. Prices are high, what I'd consider mall price points; definitely well above online retailers and sale outlets. I guess they stay in business by locals' who may not have reliable transportation, internet access, or just like to buy what's in front of them regardless of the inflated markup. Lots of parking available in the shared Southern Shopping Center lot.

Walk or run....however you do it, get yourself to Running Etc for your next pair of shoes…read more I desperately needed a new pair of walking shoes. My feet were aching and I wanted some help. The employees at Running Etc will first watch you walk and then pull out of few show selections that they recommend for you. My choices to try on were a pair of Brooks, the Hoka Bondi, and the Hoka Clifton. They were all comfortable but I ultimately chose the Clifton and wow, they feel so good. My arches feel supported and my heels feel like they are nuzzled in on cuddly pillows. They feel so amazing that I want to wear them ALL THE TIME. My husband was also In recently to get fitted and he chose the Hoka Bondi. They also carry great sunglasses at reasonable prices that are perfect for runners. My son needed a pair so I sent him in for those. You can't ask for better customer service and great selection.

For such a big store with so many shoes, the options aren't great for me. It could be just me, but I fail to believe that everyone else has hour-glass shaped feet! (especially men) Get some larger, wider shoes that don't look like a picasso painting with ridiculously narrow soles, and then maybe we'll talk. Also, just as a general gripe: lower the prices. I mean really, we're walking on the things! All they are for is for squishing between the filthy ground and our filthy feet. No shoe and I mean absolutely NO SHOE is worth more than $20 at the most! (Just my opinion.) Enough charging hundreds of dollars for a piece of rubber we're just gonna scrape against the earth with our full weight every day. Reminds me of bridge tolls.. complete BS!

We came to this outlet mall few hours past noon on a very hot day. Parking lot was all around with…read morelots of spots to handle the crowd. Common space was a mix of open and shaded area, mostly clean and well maintained. There were a good number of shops, but most of them were smaller in size and were carrying lesser number of products. While exploring the outlet, I walked into few stores but didn't find anything worth buying. The sales tax rate was also very high 12%. The food court was little sad. There were few different shops but most were abysmal. The dining hall was also underwhelming with old chair and tables. Overall I wasn't very impressed with the experience, and was one of the least exciting outlet mall I had visited.

Your new shoes will fit right, and even if they don't have the right size in the ones you want, they'll get them for you. Any problems after you leave are also handled fairly and courteously. Really, it's the kind of shoe store you come to love~a rare find, as they say. PS: if the shoe you want is on sale and they don't have it in your size, they'll order it for you and you will still get the sale price! Quality shoes do cost more, but their prices are fair!

Great customer service…read more.. My daughter and I visited this location during the week and other than us only two other customers were inside. Two employees were working... But soon as we stepped inside we were immediately greeted by the employee, Jimmy! He advised the deals and asked if we needed assistance looking for anything... we thanked him and began to browse... My daughter found some shoes she liked... tried them on and realized she liked one better than the other but we needed it in a larger size. Jimmy offered to see if the shoe was available in her size... and it was! We visited on a Sunday afternoon, and Jimmy advised he could order the shoe and that it would be available for pick up the next day about 2pm. Great customer service I'd say! I returned the next day about 6 pm and the shoe was ready for pick up. I had just missed Jimmy, but Lakiesha was there to check me out. She was super friendly as well and we engaged in small talk. Both visits were great! No waiting in line... no hassle... and my daughter was satisfied. The store is located in the busy Victory Crossing Shopping Center in Portsmouth. Stores in the center include: GameStop, FarmFresh, Payless, Rainbow, ABC to name a few and the Dollar Store is within walking distance. There is also a Wendy's, WaWa and Krispy Kreme nearby. I'd recommend you give this location a try. It seems if the shoe is not available it can be ordered and delivered within 24 hours. Have fun and enjoy life :)

People were leaving the line (that had DOZENS) because they were waiting SOO LONG! And, there were groups of employees gathered within sight of this very long line that was snaking through the store.
