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

I often get $10 off $75 coupons and BOGO 1/2 announcements emailed to me. Clearance is hit/miss; large stock for women's, decent for men's, and puny for kids. Still, I scored a pair of $20 sz 4 ASICS yesterday for my oldest son who savagely grew overnight. Beware clearance shoes are EXCLUDED from any sales or promos. No double dipping at this "Carnival." Front counter employees welcomed us on entry but floor employees ignored us. At least they weren't coaxing us to "step right up." Would have been nice at checkout to have more than one register open to avoid a line 6 customers deep. They do have a single "basketball hoop challenge" located in the left rear of the store near the men's clearance; great distraction for kids, in theory, until parents don't pay attention to the rowdy havoc their "angels" are causing. Occasionally, you'll hear overhead announcements reminiscent of Kmart blue light specials. I think they offered a trivia question where the first correct answer got to spin a wheel at the front of the store.

The employees at Running Etc will first watch you walk and then pull out of few show selections that they recommend for you. My choices to try on were a pair of Brooks, the Hoka Bondi, and the Hoka Clifton. They were all comfortable but I ultimately chose the Clifton and wow, they feel so good. My arches feel supported and my heels feel like they are nuzzled in on cuddly pillows. They feel so amazing that I want to wear them ALL THE TIME. My husband was also In recently to get fitted and he chose the Hoka Bondi. They also carry great sunglasses at reasonable prices that are perfect for runners. My son needed a pair so I sent him in for those. You can't ask for better customer service and great selection.

The women's bathroom was also very dirty! Not only were the toilets and stall doors splattered but there was no toilet paper inside any of the dispensers in the 3 stalls (only mostly used up rolls on top of one dispenser and a sanitary napkin box). I was really grossed out and inconvenienced using the bathroom there.

Great customer service…read more.. My daughter and I visited this location during the week and other than us only two other customers were inside. Two employees were working... But soon as we stepped inside we were immediately greeted by the employee, Jimmy! He advised the deals and asked if we needed assistance looking for anything... we thanked him and began to browse... My daughter found some shoes she liked... tried them on and realized she liked one better than the other but we needed it in a larger size. Jimmy offered to see if the shoe was available in her size... and it was! We visited on a Sunday afternoon, and Jimmy advised he could order the shoe and that it would be available for pick up the next day about 2pm. Great customer service I'd say! I returned the next day about 6 pm and the shoe was ready for pick up. I had just missed Jimmy, but Lakiesha was there to check me out. She was super friendly as well and we engaged in small talk. Both visits were great! No waiting in line... no hassle... and my daughter was satisfied. The store is located in the busy Victory Crossing Shopping Center in Portsmouth. Stores in the center include: GameStop, FarmFresh, Payless, Rainbow, ABC to name a few and the Dollar Store is within walking distance. There is also a Wendy's, WaWa and Krispy Kreme nearby. I'd recommend you give this location a try. It seems if the shoe is not available it can be ordered and delivered within 24 hours. Have fun and enjoy life :)

But only had two -then finally added a third cashier. All while there were literally groups of staff on the floor and behind the counter. People were leaving the line (that had DOZENS) because they were waiting SOO LONG! And, there were groups of employees gathered within sight of this very long line that was snaking through the store.
