Formerly my go-to Norfolk treasure trove of family shoes now an afterthought due to inconsistent selection. 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. read more
