    Bad Bunny skateboard, shoes, or casual chilling.
    Hector M.

    There are still plenty of these shoes out. Foot Locker champs stylish, very comfortable true to size.

    Vans Coral T&C lows with my legacy T&C shirt! Like peanut butter and jelly!!!

    Had the opportunity to stop by last weekend with my twelve year old son. Me - 42 year old skate rat, hiding in the body of an apparently/questionably responsible adult. Staff is all (AND most importantly) educated skaters, taking care of everyone in the store. Deck selection was on point, tons of Indy companies (love seeing some Strangelove decks in the wild) Scored on some "T&C's" that I found on their webpage (kudos for having an updated page BTW), can't believe this SoCal guy has to come to the Windy City to score some T&C's but that's what makes it an adventure! Son scored a Thrasher Argentina hoodie, I snagged a shop pullover...a Strangelove deck....some stickers...socks....thankfully we had to roll, else I could have found something else/s to buy. Awesome staff, great selection, make sure you kick a few bucks into the local donate jar, these programs are super important in keeping kids grinding.... Look forward to my next trip. Thanks again Uprise.

    Such a sick shop, everyone was super nice and the shop was so big! They have clothes, a huge selection of shoes, decks and anything skate related you need! The staff is super knowledgeable and Timothy taught me how to switch out my wheels which was very cool to learn! Don't forget SHOP LOCAL!!

    Let me start by saying Uprise is the best skate shop in Chicagoland! I've been there enough times to know. The staff is beyond helpful and friendly! They are more than willing to show you want as well as making suggestions. I'm not a skater, but SBs and vans are in my regular rotation of sneakers, and Uprise has them all! With the recent drops in SBs, Uprise doing in-store raffles has made it easier!! It's to cold in Chicago to camp! How this store hasn't gotten more collaborations with NikeSb is ridiculous! They should make it happen! Thanks guys for being awesome!!

    New skateboard for tricks.

    I have bought 2 skateboards for my niece here. She is pretty shy, but both times the staff have been patient and helpful. It's great to be able to pick out the components and watch the guys put the board together. Great selection and outstanding service.

    See all

Her salesperson was the definition of a professional: knowledgeable, attentive, and genuinely engaging without ever feeling rushed. What really set the experience apart was the attention to detail; he actually recognized the specific pair of shoes I was wearing and lamented that the particular color had been discontinued by the brand. That kind of deep product knowledge is something you simply won't find at a big-box chain or an online warehouse. Beyond the expertise, their in-stock selection is impressive.

She and the other male employee who has black curly hair refused to help me out and dismissed me. Courtney said, "We cannot help you out. You cannot exchange the shoes. Sorry" in a VERY RUDE manner. Just to let you know that I did not have a good experience with your employees. This made me feel very uncomfortable dealing with the DSW employees at the Lakeview store. Especially when there were other customers waiting in line. I felt very embarrassed. This happened on 5:35 pm Sunday, 7/14/2024. Joseph searched on the DSW website, it says that "DSW accepts returns after 90 days with a receipt of shipping invoice for a merchandise credit. This applies regardless of the original payment method." I have been a DSW customer for some time. I love the store, the products that DSW sells. However, this experience shows a stark and severe contrast to my previous experiences. As a loyal customer of DSW, this surprised me. It really did.

I was given an 8.5 wide. I didn't use it often, but when I did, my ankle was bothering me. By the time I realized they had given me the wrong width for one of the shoes, 60 days had already passed. I called the store, and the supervisor said, "Bring it in, and we'll make it right." When I got there, someone else said there was nothing that could be done. So, I'm out $90, plus I wasted my time going there. Check the tags to make sure you're getting the correct width!!
