My son and I visited this store in February/March area. The sales associate started out fantastic…read morehowever, when I didn't like the coloring of the shoe she had in stock she seemed annoyed with me. The shoe she picked had an off white sole which looked dirty to me. I work in healthcare and the last thing I want is a dirty looking shoe. She made us feel bad for how much time she had taken with myself and my son. She had already ordered a different style shoe for my son at a different location and seemed annoyed when I asked for a different style as well so I stuck with the one she had in stock. I later went back and exchanged the shoes for the one I wanted. I didn't need the shoes in March or April and just tried them on to "break them in" for work later this week. THEY GAVE ME THE WRONG SIZE!!!!! So now, I have a pair of shoes that are a size too big and won't honor the original size I ordered because "it's been too long." Really?! I'm not asking for my money back. Just the size I should have gotten in the first place. I know I'm a nobody to this business and this review won't make a difference but it is frustrating when you try to stay with a "Mom and Pop Shop" to help them out and this is what you get.

I visited Famous Footware on State Street Rockford last night around 8:50pm. I was looking for a…read morepair of dress shoes and a pair of sneakers. I found both and had some assistance from an employee. I then went up to check out. The nice employee that assisted me was waiting, she got barged out of the way by an older lady, she said I'll take it from here. The older lady asked me if I found everything okay... I told here yes all but the laces on the sneaker are gray and I would prefer white. She indicated to me that replacement laces are sold here. I asked if they could be included since I was buying 2 pairs of shoes... not much to ask. The older lady then proceeded to tell me did I want her to loose her job and that she loves selling shoes. Big mistake! I asked how much the laces cost, she said $2.50, I asked one more time "you are really going to loose my business today and in the future over $2.50 laces?" she said yes and was very stern about it. (Strike 1) I was quite disturbed that the associate that had attended to me on (2) separate occasions that night was being forced out of a sale (Strike 2) No flexibility and obvious frustration that it was now past 9pm closing time. (Strike 3) Horrible customer service and me wasting my valuable time trying on shoe and wanting to spend my hard earned cash. I am also in sales a Manager, just I sell Automobiles that cost thousands of dollars, if I treated a customer buying a car the way I was treated last night that would not only be unacceptable, but would be missing on thousands of dollars over the hundred or so that I was about to spend. Perhaps a person like the older lady that I encountered doesn't think that loosing a hundred dollar sale matters, but I bet the owners of Famous Footwear do. I'm going shopping today elsewhere and I bet if the sneakers at another store are gray they will give me white ones.
