Yeah, this is another famous footwear. This review is based purely on my experience purchasing a…read morepair of shoes and picking them up at this location inside the Capitola mall. Let's face it, shopping is tricky these days for everyone. Truthfully I never thought I would become a person that would obsess over a pair of sneakers, but as soon as I saw the blue Nike court vision low online, I knew I had to have them. After going to three different locations with no luck they had my size here. When I arrived at the store, I walked in and was greeted right away. They have someone at the front desk who asked if I was shopping or pickup. The associate was very polite to me, at first I did not see the shoes. She checked in the back for me and was literally back in 10 minutes. I tried them on, they are so comfortable and I was lucky because they were the last and only pair left in the store (in my size too) it was meant to be lol. When she rung me up at the register, then checked my account and told me I had ten dollars in rewards points, so I used those points to save money. Overall I am completely satisfied with my purchase and I will continue to shop at famous footwear - thank you

It was a bit crowded today for a Monday afternoon. I saw lots of adorable shoes, but nothing in particular jumped out at me. I got a kick out of checking out the socks with funny sayings on them. I love the way they decorate the shop with various vintage pieces tucked in between the shoes. The huge ceramic vases were made by local artist Mattie Leeds.

Ended up getting our little a pair of Vans which he loves and the person who helped us was super kind and patient, figuring out the right size and holding down the entire store. There were lots of people buying and looking and the sole employee did a great job balancing it all, even offering to replace the sneakers with the stretchy laces we bought. The price was amazing great value! They also had a huge selection of sunglasses which I would've looked at closer if my kid didn't keep asking me to play the coin operated arcade machine lol

I also really like that this location isn't as hectic as the other. This one is a lot smaller and the selection isn't quite as large, but they still have a lot of options including bigger brand names like UGG and Birkenstock, which was the reason for my most recent visit. They ended up not having the exact shoes I wanted in the color I wanted, but it was so helpful to be able to try them on before making the purchase. Always fun to browse their sock selection, they have a great variety of fun, hiking, and everyday socks. They also have a sale bin that you can often find seasonal socks in, after the season. Customer service is friendly and the associates are helpful!

They gave him his own store (probably to send some color to Santa Cruz) and I have to say... I make the trip to Capitola to buy my shoes all the time. One day this cat will have his own business! He's that good at what he does. I know I like to see him... don't know if he really likes to see me! I'm the cat that always needs a discount and will tell him about it..

The shoes aren't really my style anyways. But to be fair I saw some cute socks. They had two bench inside but it was too crowded that all I wanted was to be out of there. Glanced at some shoes and they're overpriced and they look uncomfortable. The guy that welcomed us was very friendly though and I guess roughly would've been a good help if I tried on some shoes-I guess I'll never know.
