Such a weird visit here for my first trip. As I entered the store, someone said hi. When I looked…read morein the direction of the "hi," there were 3-4 employees that were either talking to each other or walking away. None of them made eye contact, which was odd, but yay for greeting the customer. I guess. Walking around was a bit frustrating. Shoes that I wanted to try on were either sold out except for the one shoe that was out for display, or under the stack of the shoe style/color next to it. In some cases, it was a few rows over at the bottom. It made me feel like I was reading a legend. For a size seven in this shoe go down 4 then over 3. May the odds be ever in your favor. 12.06.2025

NORDSTROM RACK From…read morethe scattered reviews I read, I decided to stop at Nordstrom Rack. I was only three miles from their Brandon store and in need of a few men's shirts and dress pants. I was aware that Nordstrom Rack is the off-price retail division of the luxury department store chain, Nordstrom. I went there not expecting Walmart or other merchants prices. I found the men's shirts and pants racks and found several items that were the color and size I was looking for. A shirt that listed at $198.98 was on sale reduced 68% to a mere $74.96. It was a regular long sleeve shirt by Polo, Ralph Lauren. With all due respect to India where the shirt was made, I wondered what costly threads were used to make such a pricey shirt. The same was true of the pants and several other items. Mind you that these items in the off price store were on yet another discounted clearance rack in the store. Nordstrom may want to rethink their sales techniques at their chain of stores before people start realizing it's not a really an off price store.

It was what was expected from a Nordstrom Rack. What was not fun was how hot it was inside. It felt…read morelike I was wearing too many clothes in an inferno in my sandals, shorts and tank top. I was only able to stay for a little bit before I had to leave. 24.01.2025

The young lady who helped me watched me walk to help figure out what type of shoe (neutral, support etc.) would work best for my feet. She brought out pairs of sneakers and explained what they did and why she picked them. To help get a better feel to the shoe I was able to walk outside the shop to test the shoes. That helped me tell differences between each shoe and helped me pick a shoe. I went with a pair of ASICS. Just a heads up they are a bit more pricey than the retail value of the sneakers. I would shop here again when I need shoes in the future.

But painful arches while jogging prompted me to seek immediate help from this little shop. The store sits behind Bloomingdale library. I came in and was greeted by a cheerful and helpful clerk. I explained that I was there to buy a particular brand of inserts. But since I wasn't sure of the type, the clerk suggested that I have my feet scanned and she would recommend inserts based on the results. I ended up buying two pair of the inserts she recommended. I LOVE them! It all took about 15 minutes. While I was there, I sneaked a peek at the prices on the running shoes and looked around to see what other inventory they have. The shop is very well stocked with better running shoe brands including on cloud, brooks, and new balance. AND they were no more expensive than what I pay online. So my experience was all together pleasant. As somebody desperate to try to get away from Amazon being my primary retailer, I am definitely going to come to this shop for my next pair of shoes and whatever other running accoutrements I need.

At that point he went into the text book pitch about this being the next shoe, blah blah just being rude talking over me with complete disregard for anything I have to say. So when I stated your Just not going to let me speak. He looked me direct in the eye and said no you have attitude. This condescending person had attitude and the audacity to say I did so I then showed him what my attitude really was, Well many choice words from me, since there were no other customers in the store, told I don't need to buy shoes here I can go to Ellenton. This idiot told me then leave the store. I did while stating more choice words. After taking several steps outside I returned. By then the lady was at the cash register with him. I told them you didn't lose a shoe sale you lost a customer who had been shopping here over 5-yrs. I told her to congratulate the kid, give him a raise and promotion for destroying your business. I was wrong I really have been a customer for 10-yrs. I will never shop the Brandon store ever again and don't recommend anyone should have to deal with this character. My visit to the Ellenton store was most enjoyable, with a pleasant, friendly, helpful staff. They were very professional finding me a comfortable shoe.
