I love SoftMoc for a number of reasons. I like that it has women's size 11 shoes. If I can't find shoes in my size at my local store, I can either have the store find the right size at another location and ship the shoes to the store, or I can order them online, and choose whether I want to pick them up at my local store or have them delivered anywhere in Canada.
I saw this store at St. Vital Mall. I don't ever remember dropping by any SoftMoc store in Winnipeg, so i had to drop by to check it out.
As convenient as it is to buy shoes online, going into a store and physically looking at shoes is a completely different experience. Take Doc Martens sandals, for instance. I owned a pair a couple of decades ago. They were leather and heavy. I looked at those at the store. On the contrary, the sandals were lightweight and had vegan options. Seeing and holding one of the sandals persuaded me to get a pair once I returned home.
This store had a good selection of Adidas sneakers. SoftMoc also carries its own line of shoes. I dig their sandals. They are comfortable and many have a backstrap that I like. Without a backstrap, wearing sandals are like projectiles on my feet. You've been warn if I am walking towards you and I lose a slide.
This store has the best selection of Crocs. I saw everything from shimmery ones to platforms ones.
I saw a display of Grogu Jibbitz that allow you to decorate your Crocs. There were samples. I was trying to find some to buy when a friendly male staffer asked if I needed any help. Perfect timing!
I asked if he had any Star Wars Jibbitz. He said that I could find them in the display on the right. He went one step further and found the exact set in his stock behind the counter. Nice!
Jibbitz aren't cheap, as five of these Star Wars ones was $25. However, it i worth getting two Grogu Jibbitz in the set.
He asked for my phone number associated with my SoftMocs rewards account. I rattled it off and he found me in the system. The rewards system is great. I had enough points last year to get a pair of Uggs sandals for free when I redeemed my points.
I paid for my Jibbitz with a credit card. The transaction was smooth. He asked if I needed a bag. I was fine with the one that I had with me and placed the Jibbitz in it. I thanked him and left with my purchase.
My Crocs do look cute with Grogu on them. It's fun decorating Crocs.
I had a great experience at this store. Customer service was stellar and I loved what I had purchased.
