“Best shop in the city, the variety is insane. Yeezys, Jordans, supreme, and everything in between. This is truly a hidden gem that will blow up one day. Not sure why more rappers and athletes don't go there. That'll change very soon! Thanks Mythical, and see you soon!”
“I chose Hall Madden on the recommendation of a friend for my custom wedding suit. I was blown away by the ease of the process and the final product. Mattie was attentive to the type of suit I was looking for and helped get me fitted for a suit, a shirt, a tie, and custom leather shoes. I will absolutely be recommending Hall Madden to any friends looking for a custom suit.”
“Within minutes of entering store, I was evaluated and my feet were scanned and after a few questions, tried on some shoes that were suggested, no pressure, I did come to look at buying some shoes. Looked at a variety of options and I left with a good pair of shoes reasonably priced especially with the exceptional service”
“There is a ton of stuff in this place. Lots of top notch brands, and a variety of sizes. I like to think of it as an old school men’s store, with a large focus on working gear. It they don’t have it, they’ll order it for you, too. I’ve probably been going to this store for about 25 years, on and off.”
“This is a great store. I hadn't ever heard of it until my friend recommended we take our babies to get fitted and check out shoes. Even though my GPS was telling me where to go, I didn't see it until I was right in front of it. Service was fantastic. The moment we walked in we were greeted even though the place was super busy (it's a madhouse on weekends, apparently) and the woman came by to help us within a couple minutes. This store has been in business since 1961, passed through the family, and it's clear why they've been around so long what with their great service and merchandise. It was the first time that both our kiddos had ever had shoes. She measured them both, and explained what we should look for in shoes; the brand I bought, Stride Rite, she said is usually pretty true to size but if we went with one of their other brands they'd have to go up a bit. Both babes walked (or rather, strolled and were carried) away with a pair of shoes and we'll be back in August to re-size. They have a couple of toy stations to keep bored kids busy, which is a great touch. Since my baby is still just at the creeping stage and standing assisted, she doesn't wear shoes so that she can get used to the feel of her feet and the ground beneath them. But when we go for a walk or something they'll be good for her to have on her feet while she's being strolled. So although the shoes are not cheap by any means--I spent more on her shoes than I often spend on mine--I was ok with it since she's only going to have one or so at a time. And they're good brands, high-quality shoes, which is important for growing feet.”
“When I wanna buy some vans I always google
Image the shoes I’m gonna buy so I can purposely order from a a local shop. Instead of ordering directly from vans. Smooth transaction and fast shipping.”
“Came in on a Saturday around noon to get fitted for some new running shoes. We waited roughly 45 minutes to be seen. Meg was helping me today and I appreciate the care she took in the entire process. She was thorough and gave me plenty of options/advice based off the evaluations from my foot and from what I told her. I ended up finding just what I was looking for! Highly would recommend coming to one of these to get a better understanding of your feet, shoe ware and how to find a good fit for you.”
“Excellent staff ; helpful and Never heard policy of 60 days to return a fully worn shoes. They scan your feet and recommend you the best possible shoes that fit you”
“This is what a shoe store should be. Excellent and professional service with much respect given to customer needs. The selection is very high quality with a range of price points and categories that make it a complete and comfortable place to purchase your footwear. From athletic, comfort, dress and casual. From Women's, Men's and children's the selection is awesome! I purchased 2 pairs from the men's section which I am thrilled with. There is no online equivalent that can match the hands on in store experience that this store provides. Also, my wife bought a beautifully made handbag and shoes with a pair of orthotics perfectly suited for her feet. This was made possible by a sophisticated computerized device that was something to behold and experience. Of course, no matter how amazing this device is it would be meaningless withoutAlbert 2 Pro the expert assistance of the person who knows how to use the information that it provides.”

Friendliest service I have ever had outside of Texas and that’s really saying something. Great selection of sneakers, we both left with two pairs!”

“My "home store" even though I live in NC. I always visit (and buy) when I'm in Chicago every year. On this year's Int'l Fluevog Day, I called. Jack remembered me, helped me, and I have another pair of Vogs winging its' way to me in a few days. Everyone at this store is fantastic. I just won't be in store and take a picture in front of the "Weird" mirror.”
“Essential Elements is a wonderful shopping experience.I love the style and uniqueness of their clothing The staff are very helpful and kind. I receive so many compliments in everything I have purchased”
“It's always a good experience at Independence. Really high-quality goods. I will say that as a tall guy, it can be challenging to find clothing that fits me correctly. But they have a few brands I really love, like Dehen 1920, which I actually discovered at this store. Prices are appropriate for what you get, and the sales are always excellent. I'm looking forward to coming back in November for their Black Friday sale and grabbing some Dehen sweaters!”
“DeJour Apparel offers high quality clothes at a reasonable price. The service provided is phenomenal. I definitely recommend supporting this black owned business.”

“Our doctor suggested going to New Balance since we needed more support. Daniel did such an amazing job with scanning our foot and getting us in the best shoe possible. Thank you!”
“I came in this weekend with my partner to try on some shoes. The staff were super friendly and accommodating. Karen helped me lace up some thigh high platforms with so much patience. Karen was great in helping me determine the best size as well given I am a true 9.5. They even put in insoles for me to give me the best try on experience. Karen knew all about the variations of leather amongst the shoes to tell me why these boots would work out for me given my past experiences failing to find a thigh high that could accommodate my thick thighs and skinny ankles without slipping down. Love this place!”
“Teryn was so kind and helpful! The store itself was immaculate and classy. I had a fantastic experience and I love my new shoes. I'll definitely be coming back!”
“While traveling I forgot to pack a belt, this definitely caused problems and I was able to stop by DXL in Chicago and get what I needed quickly and in my size which would have been a problem at any other store.”
