I am…read moreespecially difficult to fit given that I have extra wide flat feet, supination, wear custom orthotics and have had 3 major foot surgeries in the last 3 1/2 years. The team at Schwabs is knowledgeable, patient, informative and professional. They never let you leave until you have footwear that fits well and is appropriate for the conditions unique to each customer. They have custom ordered sneakers for me that upon arrival were not conducive to my needs or interests and never flinch if I ask to try a different product. My last 3 experiences, Claire has been the person working most closely with me. She is a superstar! After two visits, trying on MULTIPLE style sneakers in various sizes, she and her teammate got me fitted into a pair of Ghost Max 3. They fit amazingly well out of the box and are comfortable even with my custom orthotics inserted. Thanks to everyone at Schwabs - especially Claire for your patience, knowledge and extraordinary customer service! See you next time...

Then, for the first time , we stopped here at Schwab's 2nd Wind in Setauket, a small storefront shop behind Stop and Shop. What a find.

The icing on the cake? The price at this small store was LOWER than the big mall store.

Prior, I was shopping at the local department stores in the mall, particularly JC Penney's (before it went out of business), and was buying the incorrect size shoes. I then was told by an podiatrist to go to a store in Port Jefferson, which was a privately-owned shoe store which carried XXXW shoes (6E width), but at the time I didn't realize how much of a markup I really spent. Fast forward to May 2019, I came into New Balance was greeted by Justin - who became the only person I will come and see for shoes moving forward. Justin is fantastic. He fitted my feet properly to a pair of shoes, and they were $40 less than what I paid last year at the privately owned shoe store in Port Jefferson. I've also came in for sandals, and I'm sure I was one headache of a customer, but Justin was patient and located sandals for me that fit and a pair that were bad were exchanged after a week of purchase. No arguing, no questions asked, just took them right back. That to me speaks volumes and I will forever be a New Balance fan!

We had a wonderful experience at Stride Rite in Sayville!…read more I've been wanting to make a trip out here to get my daughter her first pair of supportive shoes and I know Stride Rite is the best. There are only 2 Stride Rites left on LI - Sayville and Selden so we made the drive from Farmingdale on a Saturday afternoon to get my daughter's shoes. Cathy greeted us and quickly assisted us with help. I voiced to her that it was our first shopping experience for shoes and she measured my daughter's feet to ensure proper fitting. She was kind, patient and worked with my daughter as she just woke up from her nap and was very unsure of the pantyhose and new shoes. She let he pick out which one she wanted to try and let us take our time as she practiced walking in the store. The shoes are definitely worth the price! I am so glad I went to the store rather than buying it online. It is super crucial to make sure that my daughter has a great supportive shoe when starting out to walk. Highly recommend this store! Even if you're not close, it's worth making a trip out there on the weekends! Also check their Facebook page for coupons!

The young lady said it would stretch a bit But her words of wisdom were if it is not comfortable now, do not buy it. She showed us another style in gray but they did not have the size or a wider width. Upon checking she directed us to the Deer Park store. This store had the shoes along with a size for the bone colored sneakers that I had chosen as well. The later notes made in Vietnam and they are soft comfortable shoes. The young lady at Outlet mall there also was good and helpful. They had saved the two requested boxes up behind the register. We tried them, they fit and we bought them. (see pix) The back to school sale is buy one get one 50 % off. If you have rewards then you must have your phone to input them into the system for use. I did not. Thus I wasn't able to use the extra $5.00. But Rich the manager at our local store notes, if I bring the receipt and shoes/boxes, he can re-ring it and apply my reward credit. The shoe box for my sneakers has a 501c Bob[s special donation cause. (see pix) They give twenty five cents per pair to help animals in shelters. Both in USA and Canada. This project started in 2019 and runs through December of 2023. So cumulatively even at a quarter for a specially marked box should have added yearly to some hopefully decent annual amounts. Seems this started with getting shoes for children in need. Commendable. (with Payless gone) Sketchers is a place to visit for shoes.
