Worst online shipping
September 11, 2022

Idk how theyre still in business. Shoes I wanted are online only. No ship to store option. Shipping costs $7.95 and its SLOW. Shoes finally arrive, dont fit. No option to exchange. Return shipping costs another $7.95. Site states you can return in store, but no bar code or instructions are provided for employees. Took two associates 10 minutes and endless scanning to figure out how to return the shoes. No offer to find anything comparable in store. No offer to ship shoes to store. My only option would be to pay for shipping yet again, wait another 1.5 weeks for FedEx delivery, and pray they fit this time. No thanks.

I rather say zero stars!
September 2, 2022

I would prefer to give zero! The only option I really have to get anything back is to send the shoes they sent that were not even close to what we bought. Also these shoes didnt even look legit! I am so annoyed! So now I have to wait and my girl was suppose to received these before school

Don't stand behind what they sell
August 27, 2022

I purchased a pair of Nike's for my 6 year old. Two days later they started ripping. I called customer service to replace them and was told I had to call Nike directly?! Called Nike. They kinda laughed and said they didn't sell us the shoes so they couldn't replace them. That's what I told the rep would happen. Go to footlocker-or anywhere else.

Not satisfied.
August 20, 2022

There website is not true information, they did not have the shoes in the store that was listed on there website. All there shoes were fake and rip offs. I was truly dissatisfied and disappointed. I am truly not satisfied with the quality of the shoes you sell, especially being fake and still costing a lot of money.

Famous footwear sells great quality shoes that are fashionable for almost anything that you wear and can have you in a great mood leaving you to not have a bad day. Although I would like to point out that some of the adds the children or the adults or anyone in there adds creases there shoes encouraging others to do so Bringing me to say that I believe that famous footwear should advertise if possible crease protectors. People who purchase shoes shouldn't carelessly crease the perfectly fine product they have bought with there hard earned money. Overall this leads me to say that we should see more of crease protectors, thank you for letting my write this review and have a great day.

This place made me scramble like an egg, get folded like an omelet, and boil like a casserole. I went to this place in search of a new pair of Demonia platform boots (my ferret ripped up my current pair and I can't be seen wearing sneakers so). First of all I felt like the employees, who all looked like preppy teenage girls getting ready for a hot girl summer, were judging me because I am goth. I am NOT a fan of judgmental people, I believe judging somebody for who they were born to be is beyond worst than robbing a bank. So I didn't bother to ask them for anything because of the looks they gave me. The looks they gave me were dirtier than my stepmom's minivan. I went looking for the platform boots on my own because I don't talk to no-lifers like them. Emo life or no life. I looked in every aisle multiple times, and spent over an hour looking. But I was unable to find them, which proves that these preppy teens are over here discriminating against us goths. This made me so upset that I went to the back of the store where the high heels were, and where nobody else was. I mix matched ALL of the high heels in that aisle out of pure rage, my ADD, and my scoliosis. After I got my sweet vengeance, I trotted out of the store with glee, hoping that these poor, unfortunate souls would learn to not discriminate against goths.

Minus one
June 5, 2022

I would give them a minus one star if I could. My order currently is lost. I've tried contacting customer service. They will not reply to me. If you call them they tell you to wait because shipping is backed up because of Covid. How long do we have to listen to this excuse. They are the worst Buy from anyone else. Don't buy from famous footwear.

When I placed my order they didn't give me any of the promotions, so I called in on the main phone number, where I was told they cannot do anything "because it is my fault I did something wrong when I placed the order". I've never been treated like that when I've called somewhere to ask what happened. I shop at famous footwear quite regularly, too regularly in fact. I cannot believe that is the response I received. I said I'm not sure what I could have done considering I've never had this issue before and was told "I'm not sure but there's nothing I can do for you now". "Have a great day". I'm just surprised.

Return money on items sent back
April 28, 2022

While it is common practice for retailers to hold your money for up to ten days after the returned item is signed for at their warehouse it seems that they for some reason are not happy about doing it. I will never buy on line from Famous Footwear again and may never set foot in one of their stores either.

Selling Knock Off SPERRY"S
April 26, 2022

I ordered a pair of Sperry Top Sider Women's Syren Waterproof Duck Boot from Famous Footwear as a promotion for signing up for their Rewards Credit Card. I wore them yesterday because I had rain in my area. Wore them 1 time now, 1 time.
When I got home at the end of the day and removed them, the back panel (that should be leather) was a thin vinyl product that was peeling after 1 days wear.
I have Sperry products - had them for years and will have them for years to come because they are made to last and made from quality leather.
Famous Footwear is clearly selling "knock off" products in their store and are misrepresenting Sperry's good name.

Train customer service representatives to be helpful in any way to resolve issues. If you have to buy from them just do it in store because if you have any issue with shipping they are unable to change address, cancel or amend an order at all. Spoke with two reps over the phone and both were rude, unsympathetic to the issue, and entirely unhelpful. I used to buy from them a few times a year and this was my last purchase.

Rude employees
April 2, 2022

My daughter and her friends went inside to look around while they waited for me to pick them up. They were being polite and not loud. After a bit they decided to sit down. The worker that had been eyeing them the whole time immediately came over to them and asked if they were looking for anything in specific. They told him they were just looking around. He told them that they had to leave because they were not buying anything. He proceeded to kick them out and left them in the very cold weather. This was ridiculous.
