Best fit I have found in a while. I needed walking shoes that supported aging feet. These work!
I have had good experience with the quality of shoes I have purchased from Footwear etc. The best part of shopping at the Encinitas store is the extraordinary customer service. In particular, Tara, has been friendly, attentive, and efficient in every interaction I have had with her. While I might be able to buy shoes online, Tara's professionalism and her help keep me coming back to this store.
Footwear ect was my go to shoe store in Northern California but my experience at the Encinitas store has been less than stellar. I once stood by the counter waiting to pay while the manager trained a new employee. From what I heard she doesn't treat her workers very well and wouldn't it be a better learning experience to actually demonstrate how a customer should be treated by ringing up my order? I could have walked out but I had invested time to find the right shoes and didn't want to start over. If you want to have customers shouldn't you stop what you are doing and pay attention to the customer or at least acknowledge that I am here. I will only order online now.
Product is awesome, timing took to long, we needed them in three days, there were no options for military or senior discounts, didn't have black top and white bottom is what I really really needed.
Very attractive and comfortable. The shoe is very feminine which I like very much! Not bulky but beautiful. I get many complements every time I wear them. I have many pairs just like them.
Positive experience with my first purchase from Footwear Etc. Shoes matched the description. Good communication via text and emails on order progress up to delivery. Will recommend this vendor.
I wanted to purchase more MarcMarcs socks. I checked the Footwear Etc. website and saw they were available. I went to my local Footwear Etc. store and they were not in inventory. I was told they had all been moved to another store. I then ordered them online and had to pay shipping charges and I could not use my coupon for online purchases for non-sale items. The product did arrive quickly once I figured out I needed to purchase them online. Would suggest noting on your website which products are really only available online. This would save time and trouble.
Suggest adding Paypal as a payment option. Very easy from customer perspective
Footwear etc followed my order from start to finish and made sure I was satisfied with my order.
Mark, the sales Associate at footwear, etc., in San Mateo was very attentive. We talked about plantar fasciitis. What type of shoe was best And whether or not to use insoles. He was very helpful. I would recommend and have recommended the store to multiple people because of the great customer service they give you don't find that in the mall shoe stores.
Online delivery efficient and staff at local store were extremely helpful.
I had a great experience with delivery time and product sizing. Thank you!
Easy to shop site that provides great customer service on delivery updates, rewards and selection of products.
Great! Footwear made available great choices/selection made the ordering easy and hassle free.
Ordered online picked up in store but was told by salesperson to try it on. Glad I did because it was the wrong size and they pulled a better fitting pair from stock and changed my order for me to get the correct size for me.
I had been looking for a white canvas sneaker. Footwear etc had the Taos style I was looking for in a wide width (which is super hard to find). They shipped almost immediately. Delivery was delayed 2 days because of a train accident but not any fault of this company. I'm pretty please with my experience
Having difficulty processing return! I emailed you noting you have my old email address and called and have not rec'd a response to either vm or E-mailj
I ordered it in the morning and the shoes were delivered in the afternoon

Answer: Hello Jean, Which sandals are you referring to? Please email us at [email protected] or call 858-613-1221 to speak to the Rancho Bernardo store directly to see if they have what you are looking for, or if we need to bring them in from another one of our locations for you to pick it up in Rancho Bernardo. If you prefer to purchase online, you can do a 'buy online and pick up in store' option, but if it's in a store not near RB, it will say it will have to be shipped.
Answer: Hello Ganga, thanks for reaching out! It looks like the Men's Hoka Bondi 9 Drizzle/Downpour Mesh isn't available in the size 7 wide.
