Famous Footwear

Good location, but barely any customer service to speak of. The reason behind the 2 stars is because of the one associate who actually helped my boyfriend and I. Wish I would have gotten her name, but I appreciated her help.
They have some good shoes, nothing special. It’s a shoe store. Btw, make sure you Google the shoe you want to buy; chances are you’ll find them cheaper online. Also, they don’t take competitors prices.

Nice, big, clean store but pricey. Also didn’t find the heels I wanted so kind of a loss there. Selection was average.

Everyone is helpful here. They need more selection of New Balance though!

I ordered 2 pairs of shoes from their website. One pair showed up, and it wasn’t what I had in mind. So I returned that pair and asked for a refund. It’s now 2 months later and I’m still trying to get my money back. When I last called them they told me that the pair I returned never arrived. Hard to imagine, since I sent it with their return label. So I’m out ~ $ 70, I have no shoes, and I’ve wasted a bunch of time ordering and trying to get my money back. Customer service was hopeless. I’ll never order shoes from them again

They carry shoes and boots for women with man feet! I do not have man feet I have pretty lady feet! So much so I have had stalkers who just want to take pictures of or kiss my feet. I do not let them but it happens fairly often. Never the less the web site had my size but the store seemed to only carry shoes and boots for women with man feet.
I have bought shoes from FF before. I needed new winter boots. Because I need flat boots now due to my condition. I saw flat boots on the web site and headed in. They were out of stock of what I could wear and what they did have was so big I think it was for Big Foot.

Loved the way they changed the store, and the guys there were super helpful… but I didn’t get anything out of there. Maybe I was just grumpy because that place was rather boring.

Famous is not my first choice for a shoe store, however I had a coupon…‘Nuff said.
The selection was ok for athletic sneaks. I object to the prices. I find better prices at Modells are better. The representative who helped me was very helpful but not as knowledgeable about any other shoes except the expensive ones. I don’t mind the up sell but at least know whats going on with the other ones so I can make that decision dude.
This store location had a small selection IMHO of shoes, especially athletic ones. I will keep my shopping of this place online If I had to go here.
The best part was this place allowed me to use my coupon from my IPhone. Big points for that guys. Big points.
High prices, small collection and maybe someone to help you buy something expensive. I did manage to buy something for 39.99 because of my own doing but still, you may find a diamond here if you can hunt (with a coupon) very well! Happy hunting… at least be happy before you get here, it’ll help…

I come here sometimes over lunch when I need a new pair of shoes. The selection isn’t as large as a DSW, but the prices are fairly reasonable. Service can be a little slow.

We were lucky to be there next to the shop on a sale of Buy one get the other pair for half price. Our feet were aching from walking with flat sneakers for a month in the city. We tried on some of the running shoes, that were very comfortable. We got them for only $ 60 a pair, including tax — after discounts. That’s great.
The service is not so good. The sales people look tired and bored. They also didn’t help so much with questions about the shoes. I had to google it to find the correct answer.

Why does 34^th street have so many shoe stores?
This store is another one of many shoe stores, it kinda feels like a payless.
It seems pretty average, but they do offer free delivery in Manhattan.
I’ve always come in here and left disappointed. They don’t have the high end athletic footwear, nor do they have wide size shoes to fit my feet. Oh well, I guess I’m above average.

It’s all about the online ordering with free in-​store returns — awesome. And you can get some pretty good deals, especially if you’re strategic about their random sales that they send on email every once in a while.

This place is always so crowded with not many shoe sizes available and no where to sit to try on shoes. A mad house.

Once upon a time I lived in a really cool apartment that did not get much sunlight and was always kind of damp. This type of environment made it conducive for mold to show up in the most unlikeliest places. My roommates and I would stock each room with DampRid and we would have to wipe down our walls with Mold & Mildew Remover religiously. On the day I moved out of this apartment, I had discovered that the mold had gotten to the one thing I held near and dear to my heart: my shoe collection.
Insert [*GASP*] here.
I have been slowly rebuilding my footwear collection in the past two years but of course of all the shoes I own, I only wear about two pairs: my sneaks and slip ons. I’ve worn out my sneakers and needed a new pair so I went to Famous Footwear thinking that I would find a cheap and decent pair.
Famous Footwear is actually kind of expensive. It is not an outlet. The sale price is about 10% off the retail value. What they do have are all of the name brands: Nike, Puma, Sketchers, etc. I even discovered that they carried the shoe line of Fergie. I didn’t know she had her own shoe line and I was quite disturbed about it.
Anyhows, after finding out that Famous Footwear was having a B1G1 ½ off sale, I found a decent running shoe and was in search of a second pair.
That was when the memories of my old shoes came back to me. I said, «I wish they sold knee high boots here.» The mold had killed my only pair of knee high boots. They were the only pair of knee high boots that have ever fit my calves. Yes, my calves are really big.
And then as if the boots dropped out of the sky and my wish was granted, I spied a pair of knee high boots on the bottom shelf of clearance. They were my size and when I tried them on, they zipped up all the way. No struggle, no broken zipper, no stretched out material, and no public embarrassment. The boots ended up being $ 12.50. SCORE!
The staff at Famous Footwear were really helpful. When I asked someone to grab me a shoe box at the very top of the fixture, I was helped immediately. The guy was courteous to the other customers while he was getting my shoes. Everyone was getting equal attention. The manager was even walking around picking up stray shoes and boxes so that we weren’t tripping over on them in the aisles. At one point a salesguy tried to sell me a bottle of Scotchgard like products but when I said, «Not now,» he did not try to push the sell.
Famous Footwear is less DSW Shoes and more Shoe Mania. If I had a choice I would go to Shoe Mania first, but if you’re down the street, Famous Footwear is worth a browse.
