Shoe Stores in Encino, CA

“Fantastic service - I went in for new running shoes and Joe was absolutely stellar. SUPER knowledgable and had some great recommendations to address my foot issues. Really took the time and effort to make sure I was fitted correctly and was confident in my shoe choice - would absolutely visit again for future running shoe purchases!”

“First time customer in Encino. I brought in two individual shoes to have their soles reglued, plus a pair of boots which needed a complete resole job. These are all shoes I've had for years and I'm very attached to them. I'm so glad to have them back and in good condition again. Vartan did the repair work very professionally and on time.”

“Bone spur better! I was suffering from serious pain in the heal/ sole of my foot. I even went to the emergency room and they took an X-ray of my foot and told me I had a bone spur and should see my primary care doctor to get a steroid shot. I talked to my primary care doctor who told me that before he would do that I needed to go to a physical therapist and do calf exercises. Until I did those things I was left in PAIN! I saw a friend who swore by these shoes. I had gone to REI to try on HOKA and ON shoes and I then purchased a pair of ON shoes online. They hurt. I sent them back. I went to the Encino Gravity Defyer store and tried on a pair, the woman there, who was so sweet, had a pair on too. She said they really provided support while she worked. I tried on two different ones, the Energiya was the best fit for me. I had to think about it. I bought another pair of ON shoes and they were uncomfortable. I sent them back. I went back another day and bought the Gravity Defyer. At first my heal was hurting still and I thought maybe I needed to return them, although they were supportive I didn't know if it was causing me more pain to wear or if I needed to adjust to the new shoe. I put in the sole pads that they provide, which gave me extra arch support and I could feel my heel relaxing. I have been wearing them for about a week now and I noticed the other day that my foot felt better! I was walking around today and I really realized it! There is way less pain. It is these new Gravity Defyer Energiya that I bought. I highly recommend them for you if you are in foot pain. The thing about these shoes is they have a soul support technology that bounces back, it doesn't squish down and lose support. They stay supportive.”

“The main reason I wanted to leave a review was because of how nice the employees were. One was named Ivan and one was named Luis. They were both very welcoming, patient and kind young people that made me feel nice as a customer. We went with the family and we got a couple of shoes, since they had a buy one, get one 50% off sale (great sale btw). We went on Thursday August 17th during the night shift. They were close to closing and they were still very nice and patient. Every time we needed to ask if they had a certain shoe size, they would get right on it and look for the size for us. We asked for many sizes and types of shoes, yet they kept on patiently helping. The shoes themselves were also very nice. It was a great sales deal and the main reason we buy sketchers is because of the comfort of the shoe. They sold those slip-on ones that I would see in the commercials and they're really nice to use. Also when we are at the checkout, they gave us these nice reusable bags that were free, which surprised me since they're good quality bags. We asked for an extra bag and they happily complied. Great store!”
