Shoes Craze

Meh, I’ve had better. I stopped into Shoes Craze today looking for a pair of tennis shoes not made in China. A salesman approached me fairly quickly within my entering the store and asked if he could help me. I told him I was looking for tennis shoes and that my requirement for a tennis shoe is that it must not be made in China. He laughed and said,” Oh you can’t really do that, almost all shoes nowadays are made in China. As a matter of fact, when you go to a shoe fair, 95% of the shoes are made in China.” The store does carry Converse, and Converse occasionally manufacturers in Vietnam or Jordan. My salesman didn’t bother to go look. I said, «Okay, so you don’t have anything for me?» He nodded, so I left.
Around a few blocks at Big Five Sporting Goods store, a very nice salesman helped me to find several pairs of shoes which were not made in China. I got a sweet pair of Asics made in Indonesia! I got the impression that the gentleman at Shoes Craze did not really want my business. I won’t be back.

Excellent service, price and a decent selection. I would give it 5 stars if it had as large a selection as a store like footlocker. But this is a family owned store and that can nit be expected. With that said, they did have a lot of shoes the larger stores did not carry, some even better.
