Haig Shoes

Fantastic selection, great prices
They know their shoes, I love the New Balance 928, I can walk in them all day

The service was amazing. I was surprised as I went in there on a whim. I am on my feet at work a minimum of 8 – 10 hrs a day, and I tried 4 other shoe stores closer to home to no avail. When I went into Haig’s they asked me exactly what I wanted and how I was going to use them, the salesman also measured my foot and went out of his way to make sure I was comfortable with my selection. He ordered them in, and a few days later I picked them up. Nearly a month later my feet still feel great and the shoes are awesome.
Thank you Haig’s Shoes!!!

Looking for Birkenstocks and not wanting to drive to Ann Arbor, I found this place near my house. They had a nice selection and I can’t even remember the last time I had my foot measured, which the fella did. He was nice and brought me out a few choices and sizes. I found the pair I was looking for and he thoroughly went through how to care for them to ensure I would have them for the next 10 years. Great store, would definitely come back.

I went in here not expecting much. My grandparents knew this store for their excellent reputation and we decided to stop in for some shoe shopping. I’ve been searching for a waterproof, reasonably stylish boot for a long time. I didn’t really have high hopes (they don’t have the biggest selection), but we told the sales person what we were looking for and he presented a few options (two acceptable options in my eyes). I was really surprised about how knowledeable he was about the different types of shoes and how he was able to present options that met the criteria I layed out. He also challenged some items with his conventional shoe knowledge — like I didn’t want the boot to have too warm of a lining if I was going to wear them in the office and do a lot of walking.
For the boot I ultimately selected (Ecco tall walking boot), they had my size in stock and they felt/​looked great. There was a blemish on one of them, so they ordered them and they came in within a week. Excellent customer service during this process as well.
Now to socks — I was going hiking and was looking for some socks and since we happened to be here, I started browsing their wall of socks (a pretty large selection, actually). The salesperson was selling Thirlo’s like he gets a kickback — aparentally, they’re pioneers of the upscale sock; the first to wave so many threads together. (Yes, I got a history lesson and now you get it too.) I got two pairs of medium padding silk/​wool blend hiking socks that felt great when I tried them on in the store. Unfortunately, they just retain too much water and don’t dry quick enough on the trail. They aren’t bad for a casual sock, but it seems like Smartwool is the winner here too (if you get the light padding). Stick with Smartwool here and probably for actual hiking gear, stick to REI or similar outdoor stores for recommendations (there’s a Moosejaw in the same mall).
