I rarely provide reviews, but I had a great encounter at footwear, etc., this afternoon. I am a…read moremiddle-aged female in need of a high-quality running shoe to invigorate my new workout regimen and I had the joy of meeting Sky. He greeted me kindly and listened to my situation. He was as friendly as he was knowledgeable. I took a while trying to find a shoe that worked for me, but he wasn't pushy and he made me feel like he valued my opinion and prioritized my needs. At one point there was four shoppers, and only himself, and he never left me (or the other clients) hanging. Yesterday I went to a shoe store in Solana Beach on 101 that treated me like dirt, so this was quite a pleasant contrast. Thank you Sky, and I will bring myself and my family back when we need new kicks.

Really disappointing customer service, especially after spending $200 on a pair of shoes. I was…read morestill within the return/exchange window, but the shoes didn't fit and I no longer had the paper receipt. I used my phone number/rewards account when I purchased them, so the transaction was tied to my customer information and could have been looked up. Instead, I was simply told they would not exchange them without the physical receipt. I wasn't asking for a refund on an unverifiable purchase -- I just wanted to exchange a $200 pair of shoes that didn't fit, within the return period. The unwillingness to even try to locate the transaction or offer another solution was incredibly frustrating. I've shopped at their stores in Carlsbad Village and enjoyed supporting local businesses, but this experience completely changed that. I won't be shopping at Blues and Shoes, Flourish, or Rivers & Roads again. For the price point and the fact that they operate multiple boutiques in the Village, I expected much better customer service and a little common sense when dealing with a legitimate customer.

The vibe is so hip and this store's edge was much needed in the area! Everything from the music to the artwork on the walls .. I give the ambience an A+.

Mike and Mathryn have the best energy - I literally will come to support anytime I can. It's people like them that build strong community foundation!

I wish I had found them sooner, don't hesitate, stop hurting and go get the right shoes! CONS: Not a ton of super cute styles. However, you will find something and she will order a different color etc...if she can. That's what she did for me. :) Pay attention to the store hours too as they are not open long days.

She helped him unlace the shoes so that he could get them on, and measured that his big toe was at least a thumb width to the end of the shoe. In addition, she let us know that if we purchased a bottle of the water and dirt repellent spray you would get a bottle of the shoe cleaner for free. She was extremely helpful and provided great customer service! Josh assisted us at the register. Greeted us and was friendly and very professional.

My mom was in town looking for a comfortable pair of shoes after having bad luck finding the right…read morefit in the past. After visiting several shoe stores, I suggested we stop by Road Runner Sports and I'm so glad we did. Adam was absolutely amazing. He took the time to perform a fit test to evaluate her stance and better understand what type of shoe would best suit her lifestyle and needs. My mom is always hesitant because most stores never have her shoe size in stock, but Adam patiently listened to her concerns and managed to find three different pairs for her to try. What impressed us most was that all three were styles she never would have considered on her own, yet they were incredibly comfortable and fit her perfectly. There is nothing more important than having comfortable shoes. Our feet support our balance and mobility every day, so finally finding shoes that provided both comfort and style meant the world to her. She was so excited that she immediately changed into her new shoes and wore them for the rest of her vacation, constantly commenting on how comfortable and stylish they were. We truly couldn't have asked for a better experience or outcome. Thank you to the entire staff for making us feel welcome, and a very special thank you to Adam for his expertise, patience, and outstanding customer service. He made what had been a frustrating search into an enjoyable and successful experience. There is nothing value on her happiness and comfort.

This is a review of the ENCINITAS famous footwear. The Poway location was semi-helpful:…read more I purchased some Nike Court vision Altas online and they were too big. I went to the POWAY location and returned my shoes. They had my correct Size in the store but I declined to buy theM because they had VERY OBVIOUSLY been worn. The employee offered to clean them for me which I thought was a little weird. I don't know about you, but I'm not paying $85 for used shoes. So I went ahead and purchased another pair online and they arrived in three days. (See images) What are the chances They tried to sell me another obviously used pair? Filth! When I took them to the POWAY location they were very nice and refunded my money. The employee explained that their policy is to just clean the dirty, used shoe and resell it for the new price-- and that my particular pair of shoes came from STORE 697. The ENCINITAS location. It was explained to me that the employee at that store , (employee number 295956) who prepared the order didn't clean the shoe before they resold it to me for the new price. I've been a rewards member for years And have been shopping at famous footwear my whole life. That ends today. Order from an honest seller. Reselling dirty shoes for new prices is not only unhygienic but it's unethical and bad business practice. I'm Disgusted that I've purchased ALL of my kids shoes through this company. Note: this has also been sent to corporate. I'm going to shout this from the roof tops.
