I'm writing this review on behalf of my 82 year old mother. I'll keep this brief. The woman helping…read moremy mother today didn't have a name tag. From the very beginning her attitude indicated she didn't want to help my mother order her diabetic shoes. She tried to say my mother didn't remember what she was told by Mike last year when she ordered her shoes. My mother is elderly, not stupid. Seeing my mother upset infuriates me. The woman stopped helping my mother without saying a word. She started helping a woman whose business she wanted. My mother finally left, and she'll never return, which I suspect is what the associates at this store want. May you all have the day you deserve.

A man helped me; I believe it was Jack. He had terrible customer service and personality. He seemed…read moreso put out that I tried two pairs of shoes on with no luck that he went into the back room and never returned. He didn't speak, only grunted. I was in such a great mood after having a wonderful young man help me at Mitten Running; this put a damper on that visit. I'm not used to being treated this way because I am kind and positive to clerks at any store. My brother used to work at this store when it was downtown and the customer service was top-notch. While telling my friends at the dog park about this man, I heard other stories about his rudeness. While we would like to shop locally, this behavior sends us to online shopping or other stores. Needless to say, I won't return.

For nearly all of my adult life I have been wearing the wrong size shoe because I buy my shoes…read moreonline. In 2000 I found a pair of shoes that I believed fit really nicely and I just continued to purchase the same size in a variety of my favorite fancy brands (Dansko, New Balance, Keen, Bogs, etc), but what I did not know is that I was slowly ruining my feet one very expensive pair of shoes at a time. It recently got to the point where after spending only 30 minutes standing my shins, knees and hips and the balls of my feet would start hurting so badly I would need to rest for 45 minutes. Meal prep was starting to take an entire day. I visited V & A and the gentleman who helped me measured my feet and very calmly told me my feet measured exactly what I thought, but my arches measured nearly two sizes larger. Essentially, I've been wearing the wrong size shoe. He asked a lot of questions about pain and its location, about shoes I currently wear and why in the world I haven't gone to see my doctor and then he brought out the shoes. I tried on an endless parade of shoes. The popular style right now is the Mary Jane shoe, which is not really something I like. I should like it because it fits my foot beautifully and probably would help me, but I think they are pretty horrible. He never quit on me. We tried on clogs and dress sneakers (there is such a thing) and then finally we were all the way down to the sneakers. I ended up with a sneaker that I picked instead of a sneaker he recommended. I had to go back the next day and return my bad pick for his more appropriate pick because I never learn to listen to people who know more than I do. I'm now wearing my new sneakers which I can wear for a few hours at a time without having to sit and wait for my hips and knees and shins to stop burning and aching (I'm only 38!), which is an incredible improvement. V & A worked with my picky tastes and did not stop when I said no to nearly every shoe in the store. I paid $8 more than I would have paid online, BUT I got shoes that actually fit, amazing customer service and I got my shoes immediately. I would have paid $25 extra for that. My next pair of shoes will definitely be coming from V & A.

I was greeted by Forrest and he was extremely knowledgeable and helpful. I tried on a bunch of shoes and we settled on one that they didn't have in stock. He had them shipped to my house. I was skeptical at first that I'd actually like the shoes but after breaking them in for a day they are probably the most comfortable shoes I've ever worn. I almost didn't want to take them off! The shoes get 5 stars and so does Forrest!!

Look no further than Okun Brothers Shoe Store, a 90 yrs old dinosaur at downtown Kalamazoo MI. My hubby, a Scandinavia descendant was born with big viking toes. No shoes fits him other than a pair of ex-large sports shoes. Forget brand or fashion, it doesn't fit. An elder gentleman at Okun Brothers saved him. Just after a short conversation, he came back with two pair of well-constructed leather shoes that fits hubby's toes perfectly and it is not ugly. He applied little discount and we bought one pair for $ 60. It worth the money. I told hubby that I will hold his hand again walking on the street of Paris! The shop is around 1000 sqf. It has 3 experienced staffs on site to help you find a good pair of shoes. They are knowledgeable and serious. If you are looking for a pair of safety work or casual wearing, you won't go wrong here.

When she finally did appear, she never greeted or approached us, preferring to talk to a gentleman with whom she was obviously familiar. We selected two pairs of shoes and went to the check-out desk.
