SKECHERS Retail Store

Ive been to better. Great shoes but this store doesn’t have much of a selection of the different colors. Still visit though.

Great service from an Australian woman working there. Bought some really nice shoes.

We used to buy Skechers snickers and shoes for my husband at DSW. This year I walked into this store and fell in love with wedged boots, which I did not see in DSW. The store was practically empty: I and my friend were the only customers that time. So two nice girls were helping us, bringing tons of new boots and snickers. They usually offer «Buy one, get one 50 percents off», that is why I bought two pairs. Since then I’ve been wearing them ALL THE TIME!

Awww, Skechers. My love affair with you is now over. Boo.
I went to the Skechers store last week and spent a good hour or so trying on the various types of shoes. I needed both a pair of good tennis shoes for standing at massage school all day and a sturdy pair of flip flops to walk around this pedestrian city in the summer.
After finding both types of shoes, I took them home and spent the next day walking around in the new flip flops. (Because I live in the City of Chicago, I spend a great deal of time walking!) After an hour or so with the new shoes on, the right shoe started squeaking with every step. Very irritating, annoying, and embarrassing! Since I couldn’t just run home to change, I wore the $ 36.41shoes for the day with the plan to return them the next day. Well, some friends came to town and I didn’t get a chance to return them last week.
Sooooo, I returned the flip flops today, wearing the tone-​ups tennis shoes into the store, and told them I needed to return the flip flops and why. They looked at them, saw they were used, and told me they could only give me a store credit.
I think that is RIDICULOUS!!! I bought a $ 36.41 pair of malfunctioned flip flops, brought the receipt with me, along with the $ 20 gift card given to me as part of my purchase, and no budge. I am extremely disappointed in my favorite shoe company and will now have to take my business down the street to Nike.
The employees were both personable (they were the same ones in there the day I bought the shoes) and the male cashier even said that he has been upset with stores when he has tried to return shoes himself and received store credit. He even went on to say that I was nicer than him, because he has gone off on stores when they won’t refund his money. I told him that it wasn’t worth an argument cuz I knew they wouldn’t be changing their mind. I don’t believe in raising my blood pressure and makin a fool of myself unless its necessary. Then it occurred to me that rule was probably made because customers take advantage and return used shoes with ill intentions. I am not that person.
Anyhoo, while I will go ahead and use the store credit and $ 20 gift card, because it would otherwise be a waste of money that I can’t afford to waste, I will not buy Skechers beyond that. There is too much competition out there.
Ah, well, it was great while it lasted…

My wife stopped in to buy a pair of shoes here. The salesman was very helpful and friendly. He was a little goofy in a Al Bundy kind of way but very nice.

Unlike Jade, I have always been a Skecher fan. The designs are right up my alley and I love the diversity of the trendys to the athletic to the ‘just running around’ shoes. Being consistently true to size is another bonus. For this trip, I was inquiring about the newly talked about Shape-​Ups. I do a crap ton of walking during the day, so I thought, why the hell not get a mini workout while I’m at it? I found a cute pinkish-​grey pair that was pretty reasonable priced at a little over $ 100. I say reasonably priced because the competitor MBTs go for almost $ 300.
I have had the Shape Ups for a little while now, and they are OK. The MBTs are better in the sense that they are a little tougher on your legs. The Shape Ups are just kinda of a heavy gym shoe. For the price, they are pretty good. No matter what, I am a forever Skecher fan and I will always be back to this store. Great location, ample selection, and always courteous service.

I must admit, I’ve never been a fan of Skechers. Obviously, they target casual consumers and young adults. (Both of which can be me, but whatever.) C and I stopped by to look at their work-​appropriate shoes. Their website had unbiased reviews on their shoes and people seem to like them. My boyfriend, who works at a restaurant, is on his feet for up to 14 hours a day. Ouch. Skechers shoes are much more comfortable and affordable than Aldo (located next door). Their dress shoes have classical looks (ex. oxford loafers), so they can be versatile for both work and play.
Oh, and they make vegetarian shoes! Not many, but it’s worth some praise.
