Walked in, no one greeted me. I looked at some shoe choices, no one approached me, one staff member there, I asked a generalized question, was told to go to the counter and ask for help. Told the lady at the counter what I needed, she told me to have a seat. I sat there for 30 minutes and no one came. The floor staff left, customers left. I sat. Finally went back to counter lady, asked if it was better to make an appointment. Was completely ignored. Walked out. I have a strange situation and need two pairs of shoes, in different sizes. Considering that the shoes I need are between $160 and $200

Great as always. If you need to find shoes that fit, look good, and are good quality this is the place. The old school customer service is awesome. They actually measure your feet...

Steve Caplan was an awesome sales associate. I needed new sneakers and was not sure what I wanted. After I explained what I would use them for, the first pair I tried on, was perfect. I love going to Footprints knowing that I get excellent service. Thank you Footprints and Steve

I had the pleasure of having Dot find the perfect size dress shoes which was not an easy task because of my foot problems. She went out of her way to stretch the ball of my new shoes, measured my foot properly, and I now know Im a 7 1/2 WW and not a size 8! She was very professional and personably! Dot made my shoe shopping a pleasure and a positive experience which is very difficult because of my many foot issues ! Thank you Dot!
