We've shopped at Paragon for decades and always had good to great experiences there. The staff is…read morewell-informed, has integrity and the merchandise is of excellent quality. Tonight l had another great experience at Paragon thanks to the sensitivity and good nature of Mike R in the upstairs shoe and boot department. As a rule, my 88-year old husband doesn't like to buy himself new clothes. But after what feels like weeks in this polar vortex, with him stubbornly trudging and slipping through the snow in old rubber rain boots and a cane, l stopped hinting and put my foot down: we were going to buy him some warm, waterproof boots with cleats. Knowing that he might only put up with one outing, I decided to scout Paragon on my own, first. Mike R. advised me he had only one style of boot that fit what l was looking for and not many sizes left. When he came back with a size in the ballpark, l asked if he could hold it for me. Mike was blunt: he couldn't do any 24-hour holds with the stock so low, but he could hold it for two hours. I thanked him, explaining that if l bought these and presented them to my husband as a done deal he would never even try them on. But we'd be back, within the hour. When we arrived on the floor, Mike picked right up on the dynamic: this was not a customer for a hard sell. And so Mike was the soul of discretion. He kept a low profile, talking quietly and only to me and showed up just often enough to be helpful. He was patient, kind and l got the feeling he was enjoying the challenge of selling without ever even connecting with the guy trying on the boots. And Mike's strategy worked! We made the transition from my husband's original reaction to the only boots in his size ("l hate them!") to walking out with four pairs of socks and that same pair of warm, waterproof boots with cleats. I am deeply grateful to and frankly in awe of Mike R, Paragon boots department. Thank you!

Douglas was very helpful in showing me the selection and discussing the shoes specs, including Adidas and Asics. However, at several points our conversation was rudely interrupted by Mike R who appears to be his supervisor, raising his voice (his voice carries) and ordering Douglas around while we were discussing my training plan. I think these interruptions were inappropriate while Douglas was providing his advice. In the end, I did not buy shoes because I was annoyed.

When I arrived a nice lady at the front let me know I'd have to wait to see someone to try on shoes. I ended up waiting 15 minutes before someone was able to see me with no one else in front of me. The man that came over then just immediately asked what shoes do I want to try on. I mentioned that I really liked the Triumph 21s and was looking for a better replacement since the newer versions all had too much cushion for me. He then started to get aggressive when I told him 3 shoes I was interested in for no reason and was getting upset that I didn't know the exact names off the top of my head and had to pull my phone out to check. He then said alright if you don't need my help then just tell me what you want after I told him I wasn't interested in trying on the new Triumph shoes that came out. I told him no... I wanted his input just not those shoes as they have a ton of cushion. He then got me two pairs of shoes, dropped them off, and then left to see other customers without checking in on me after that. I had to wave down another staff member to ask what other colorways were available. I then saw this same worker getting upset at a fellow colleague for helping another customer out that was asking for assistance. He was upset and didn't say why and just walked away pissed off again. I didn't want to give this place my business after seeing how this employee treated me and other members of the staff so I left and bought my shoes elsewhere. This is store is a great place to try on running shoes but apparently just SUPER hit or miss on who gets assigned to help you out. 2 stars for the nice woman and letting me try on at least some of the shoes I was interested in.

I was looking for mask inserts and saw Athleta sells them online. I thought I would stop in and see if I could purchase them in the store. After making this my mission today I decided to exhaust all my possibilities before going to Athleta. I tried CVS, Duane Reade, Rite Aid, Target, and Kings Pharmacy and none of these places carries them. Take my advice and go to Athleta. I entered and was immediately welcomed by a friendly associate. By this time I was exhausted so I cut to the chase telling her why I was there. She said they don't have them in store any longer but she would look online. She said if they're available she would order them for me and I would save the shipping charge. I went ahead and ordered two packages of 10 mask filters each package. With tax my total was $8.69. She said I would receive an email and my credit card would be charged. I was told it's two day delivery. I was amazed. After I arrived home I had the email about my order. At this point I'll be happy when they arrive. If anything goes wrong it will not be the fault of this sales associate or this beautiful Athleta location. I'm hoping they stay open in my neighborhood for years to come. To be continued......
