  I’m a frequent shopper and the staff is always kind and respectful. Good selection of shoes at the right price. There’s a seating area almost everywhere in the store and the clearance section is so spacious. There’s always a staff member to help me. It’s also incredibly organized and I love how they have all their sizes out on the sales floor to try on so I don’t have to wait 5 minutes for an associate to pull a size from the backroom. Also, there are so many sales; Clark’s shoes 40% off?! Naturalizers half off?! The return policy is very generous as well; 60 days if you’re a “VIP insider” and 365 days if you’re a “VIP influencer.” When I created my account with them they just needed a phone number and email and I got free shipping on all online orders. They have 5 stores in Ottawa and when I spoke to the manager she told me they had over 100 throughout the country and I could literally make returns and get rewards at all stores. They have an amazing charity too, Souls4Souls, where you get points for every pair you donate (only 1 pair a day). I’ve had at least $300 worth of rewards stored in my account at one point because of all the old shoes I gave away to their charity! It’s not just this location; every one of their stores has a donation box! The only downside I can think of is that if you’ve worn your shoes outside they won’t accept them for a return or exchange. They made an exception for me once and they made it very clear that it would be the only time. I wouldn’t try fighting with the staff over something like that, it’s just not worth it. An associate informed me, to save a trip, to browse a style on their website and then call one of their stores to see if they have it on the floor. They’d check which stores have it and put it on hold for you. This rewards program is probably one of the simplest and most beneficial rewards program of all the shoe retailers I’ve been too.

  I would have bought a pair of sneakers, but . . . Two staff, both on their phones behind the cash, at a store that asks customers to request the left footed shoe for try-ons. So . . . Staff that ignores customers, even when store empty. Won't be back
