I thought it was time for an update. The Shoe Market in Hingham continues to impress me with its selection of shoes...for men and women and for it's excellent customer service.
I love the staff here, some of whom I have come to know. I sometimes have to stop myself from going to the Shoe Market "just to browse" because for me, there is no such thing. I almost always will find a pair of shoes, sandals or boots that I "must" have.
Over the years they have increased the number of clothing items they sell. While the clothing area is still small...this is a shoe store after all....I have purchased the occasional item. A dress, a top, jacket, etc. There is a small dressing room for trying things on. Recently I bought two fun long-sleeved tee-shirts to wear on our boat. Generally speaking I am not a tee-shirt person but these were quality cotton, and had sailing references on them. Whomever is selecting the clothing items to sell is doing a great job.
I was in the store two days ago because while in Maine on a recent vacation, I stumbled upon a pair of flip flops made by a company called Oofos. These flip flops (and the flat-heeled clogs also made by the same company) were incredibly comfortable..maybe the most comfortable sandal/clog I have ever tried on. I didn't buy the flip-flops (or the clogs) in Maine and after we left I was kicking myself for not having done so. So I googled the company and searched under store locations. It mentioned that Shoe Market sold Oofos. Indeed when I showed up the other day I found the very flip-flop I was looking for. Yay! (PS Highly recommend the brand...Oofo).
But this good news doesn't stop there...several years ago, the Shoe Market instituted a rewards program. Each time you buy a pair of shoes, the cost is factored into your rewards account...I don't remember exactly how it works. All I know is that when I went to pay for the Oofos, the sales associate told me they were FREE...I had more than enough rewards credit to pay for them...with still a hefty amount left over for the next time I go shopping. Win-win!
Love Shoe Market and love my new Oofo flip-flops. Summer isn't over. read more
