Had the worst experience with Cardino's in Duncan. Will never shop at Cardino's again. I purchased…read morea pair of Bluntstone boots which had a defect in the heel. Asked them if there was a remedy of sort. They put a patch on "one" of the boots. Prior to going to Cardino's, I had previously taken boots to a cobbler to repair. The boot cobbler said that there needed to be a patch on "both boots" otherwise it would feel "un-even". The cobbler suggested that should return to the shoe store I purchased the boots, because Bluntsone had a very good reputation and that Cardino's may be able to deal with the issue. I took the boots to Cardinos in October 2025 and they said they would deal with it. I return in November to pick up the "repaired boots" and they had put a patch on only one of the boots, and replied with "that's the best we can do". Went home and wore boots, within 30 minutes had a huge blister. Contacted Cardino's to let them know and they said to bring in the boots once again. I did so and never heard back. I contacted them in February 2026 and they said to pick up the boots. They had sat in their back room all this time, and said "that's the best we can do", which was nothing. Left the boots there for 2 days and went back to get my boots and they told me "we have disposed of them". When I asked what did they mean by "dispose of them meant, she replied with " I had abandoned them, and that they did not have to tell me how they disposed of them". I truly believe that Cardino's is un unprofessional, dishonest shoe store and that I shall continue to share this terrible experience with this horribly run shoe store. poo poo Cardino's

Nice shoes, but... Please read on…read more.. I thought this was great store. What happened? I received the worst customer service of my life when I questioned my receipt. Actually, up until the purchase, I received the bare minimum service. I actually felt like I was in the saleswomen's way while they did inventory on a Saturday afternoon. When I questioned the receipt I was treated like I was trying to get a bigger discount. Or something for free. NOT the case. Their discount offer was applied incorrectly, in my mind. But fine. That's how they do business. The way I was treated was another matter. I left feeling personally HUMILIATED. I was honestly stunned and upset by it. Shop here at your own risk. It might ruin your day. It certainly ruined mine.

As someone who has very difficult feet to shop for (women's double wide, high arch, high instep, shin splint prone) I am used to feeling defeated while shoe shopping. This family business has a wealth of knowledge and it was easily the best experience I've ever had in a shoe store. The person who helped us was 5th generation in this shoe business family & he was so kind and knew tons about shoe biomechanics. He found exactly what I needed to be comfortable and avoid shin splints while training. They also had tons of wide selections in store--no need to wait & have them order them like most shops.

Not only do they have great unique outfits, but they only bring in limited stock in each style - one of each size. The staff was super helpful and not afraid to tell you, "oh honey, no! Not that one." As each item is purchased (at least during Christmas party season) they write down what you purchased AND which office part you are attending to avoid the dreaded "who wore it better" moment when you and a coworker's wife show up in the same outfit. Plus the prices are very reasonable (maybe too reasonable as I walked out with multiple outfits. Love this shop!!
