Nice people with Great selection of Comfortable Shoes

by Greenerside at Citysearch

I bought my first pair of Ahnu's here last year. I hadn't looked for sporty maryjanes before so I came back several times and did a lot of shopping around. They remembered me! They were knowledgable, helpful, and I love my shoes, which I wore almost every day last summer. They are still in great shape and I can't wait for the nice weather to wear them again!

• Pros: Great Selection, Monthy coupons, Prices comparable but with the Valpac coupons better than similar stores
• Cons: Can't think of any except maybe that these kind of shoes are not inexpensive

Employees need oversight or something

by sugarjen at Citysearch

They have a great selection of killer shoes. Too bad you will never be able to try them on because it is impossible to get any service unless you are the only person in the store. They don't even say 'hi,' or 'I'll be with you in a few minutes.' They really let you stand around with your arms full of shoes. If they actually do bring you shoes, be prepared to wait again if you need a different size and again when you stand at the cash register waiting to pay.

This is a locally owned business and it is too bad that the service isn't better. Even though I try to go with local businesses, they have the same selection at Nordstrom, same prices, and much better service.

Awesome Indie Shoe Store in Ballard

by iheartcookies at Citysearch

My husband and I have both purchased shoes here on multiple visits. Every employee we've talked to is funny and knows their stuff. Lots of European brands, cool hiphop sneakers and all kinds of pretty girlie shoes, too. It's easy to find styles for fancy occasions and chasing the dogs around the dog park, and they always seem to have shoes for my husband's giant size 13 feet in stock.

They're also open late on Friday and Saturdays, so when you're out for dinner you can stop in afterwards. Not enough shops in Seattle are open late--it almost feels like we're back in NYC.

• Pros: Great service, big range of sizes and styles for an indie shop
• Cons: Weekend parking in Ballard is tough
