20530 N Rand Rd, Deer Park“Not sure why the bad reviews. I have shopped here for years and always have been greeted by friendly, smiling faces who are happy to help. It's always a pleasant experience when I come here, which is saying quite a bit.”
“Super cool store and staff, always have amazing recommendations and they have tons of products! I originally found them for sneakers, but now they’re my main smoke shop”
“I have had the pleasure of visiting 847RC several times over the past month or so and I had to share what a special place the team over there have curated. When I first began my running journey in 2008 there were only proper running stores in Downtown Chicago where I could get a proper fitting for my stride. Those days are so long gone thanks to 847RC! ??♀️Now, I can simply call upon my friends down the street at 847 to help me feel my best while I pound the pavement. I know exactly where to go when I need to get fitted, vent about my tight IT bands, stock up on goo gels, and be a part of a running community that truly treats me like family every time I walk (or run ?) in the door. Not to mention, they carry all the high-performing gear brands at friendly prices for those of us who know that what you wear and how you feel on your runs make all the difference!Whether you’re just getting started on the path or are a seasoned Ultra runner, 847 has your back (and feet!). Stop in and experience the shop for yourself today! Lake County is so lucky to have you, 847RC! Thank you! ??♀️”
“Shopping here is always a breeze! The owner Mark is always ready to help, and it's an easy process to get fitted for the right shoe! Plus I love shopping at a small business knowing my money is staying in the community! Highly recommend Runner's High 'N Tri for walkers, runners, and anything in between!”
“Extremely knowable and helpful. Great customer service. Had me try on different shoes, test running in them, filmed my form and have me recommendations of physical therapists I was searching for. I will be going back there for any other running needs. Highly recommend this place to anyone looking for extra care or service towards their needs. The shoes I bought were priced super fairly in fact probably the best around.”
“new look, unbelievable service mike the manager and Devin ( i believe that’s his name ) were incredible .. Devin is the reason i came back 3 times in one month ! just incredible customer service all around.”
“Great selection. Prices high. Customer service not very attentive. They are all busy talking to each other. Fitting rooms...dirty. floors need to be cleaned. My socks were black.”
“After being told by a “manager” at another location that this store had the item we were looking for in stock, we got there to them not having that item at all. The “manager” at the other store gave them the wrong number and they held the wrong shoes. These employees went above and beyond to try and turn our experience into a good one. I will absolutely be going back to this store because of Corrine (might be spelled wrong). She was absolutely fantastic and I really appreciate all she did for us!”

1772 W Algonquin Rd, Hoffman Estates“Bought a pair of Hoka shoes and needed to return a week later due to poor fit. Staff remembered me and made an exchange no questions asked. Special thanks to Shannon who helped me find a Brooks shoe that was the right fit for me. I'll be a return customer for sure”

20291 N Rand Rd, Kildeer“I had a great experience, as always, at Road Runner Kildeer yesterday. Demetrice (I think I spelled it correctly) was amazing, patient and helpful. I tried on a bunch of shoes to get the right fit and replacement for my old shoes. I just love that the staff here is so helpful and friendly. Thanks, Road Runner!”
“Salesperson was great. Dissatisfied with the comfort of the Tradesman boot. The sole of the boot seems to be made of hard plastic. Has no cushioning properties to sole.”
“I brought my mom into the shop and had a top notch experience. Jeff was very knowledgeable and helped my mom understand what she needs. Jeff made my mom feel more confident with his expertise. I would definitely recommend this shop. Jeff helped size my mom and find the perfect shoes for her. Thanks for all your help.”

G315A, Woodfield Mall, Schaumburg“I went in to try to find a specific pair of vans for my wedding day, but they didn’t have my size online or in store. Gabby was very helpful and called another location to get them transferred to this location! She held them for me and called me two days later to pick them up! Thank you so much Gabby!”
“Had the most amazing experience! The owner is super friendly and knowledgeable! I brought my 1 year old here because we were having a hard time finding shoes that fit. He had multiple options to pick from and all of them fit! I am definitely recommending all my mom friends to check it out!”
“So easy to find stuff here. To be fair I usually just buy the same pair of Kelly and Katie heels in different color variations, but I love that there are affordable and high end options here. Easy to use promo codes and order anything online if the physical store runs out of anything.”
“Lots of shoe, boot and sandal choices. Fairly good size availability but prices are outrageously high. Much more reasonable prices are available from online shoe websites.”

1990 N Arlington Heights Rd, Arlington Heights“The salesperson (Abbie) was very helpful. My son tried on many different sizes and styles. The size in the style we wanted was not available at the store we were at, but the salesperson found a nearby store that had it in stock and called ahead for them to hold it for us.
When we arrived at the other store the shoes were waiting for us, and we were in and out very quickly”
“Blu Violet has a gorgeous selection of inventory and you are sure to be welcomed with a smile by the new owner, Stacie. She loves the community and her enthusiasm and warmth radiates in this lovely boutique.”

100 W Higgins Rd, South Barrington“Lovely store, beautiful merchandise, and amazing service, particularly my recent experience, very professional, but yet very understanding, and willing to help in my request, went above and beyond. They excel in casual, dressy, and business! This is my first stop whenever I have an important event or need new business clothes. A great adventure in styles...awesome sale items always available. Such a large variety of clothes. An array of styles in all sizes at affordable prices! I love a store that puts customer experience first! Clean store, convenient location! that's what will keep me coming back to this store.Thank you!”

5 Woodfield Mall J314, Schaumburg“I recently received a necklace from this store as a gift from my boyfriend. I was wearing the necklace for less than a day and it had broke. I contacted customer service and they were SUPER helpful and very nice. She helped me get a replacement one shipped to me so that i didn’t have to drive an hour away to get it. I will definitely shop here again, very happy with them.”

1520 E Golf Rd, Schaumburg“So… love this store it sells itself…shoes were almost as cheap as tjmaxx… bought close to $200 worth of stuff.. and I don’t feel cheated in anyway…store staff is not there to cater to you and you are free to roam”
“Got boots last week Best service from Ryan the sales person they were really nice humble I am picky and try 7 different pairs but the sales person Ryan was awesome and because of ryan i bought it best buying experience highly recommended”
“I am a bigger guy. However, I really don't care about all the crazy fashion that crops up every season. I just want nice looking jeans, button down shirts, and 1/2 zip and hoodie sweatshirts to fit right. For awhile, some stores had good clothing for plus size people. Kohl's carried a couple brands that were stylish and fit well, but then they stopped carrying them only to re-introduce those same brands with ill-fitting plus size options. Marshall Field's had a few items which became Macy's, and they had fewer still. The Winston Box, a monthly subscription mail order service boasts a way to find great options for any plus size and truthfully, they never sent items that fit well.
However, DXL (a.k.a. Destination XL) has always had options that work well with my body type. I'm a Polo fan and not a big fan or their house brand, Harbor Bay. With that being said, Harbor Bay's t-shirts and jackets are awesome and fit great.
DXL always has new options and brings in new brands that offer nice options such as Vineyard Vines, Psycho Bunny, Robert Graham, and more. Lately, I love the Lucky Brand jeans as they fit so well, and recently purchased the softest, most comfortable Vineyard Vines hoodie (actually, wearing both the hoodie and jeans right now).
Plus, DXL offers workout closes, casual clothes, dress clothes, suits, shoes, and accessories.
Lastly, the Vernon Hills location (close to me) has such a wonderful staff. Over the years, their staff has changed, but they are very friendly and always offer to help you find what you're looking for or are happy to remains hands off and let you do your own shopping. And they remember you whether you frequent them often or your visits are limited to a few times a year. I hardly visit any other store and if they don't have something in their store, they are happy to reach out to other locations to help you find your size and color you desire. I love this place!”

320 Hawthorn Ctr, Vernon Hills“I ordered the same earrings online twice and Both times the color was wrong but the item number was right! I decided to call a loft store near me and spoke with Kylie and later Sue who at first didn’t have the right color in the store but will look in the stock room later. Usually that where it ends because no one ever calls back but they did and found the correct color! This was an exceptional act of kindness!”

100 W Higgins Rd Q-30, South Barrington“I had such a wonderful experience! It was my first time shopping at WHBM, and the stylists were so knowledgeable and friendly. They helped me put together outfits that fit me well & I felt great in. Thank you!!”
“Absolutely love this place for baby clothes! Everything is usually on sale for a great price. I was having troubles picking out a gift for a friend’s baby, the wonderful lady who was working, who I forgot her name, was super helpful, super attentive, and gave me many options to chose from (which were all hard because all the clothes are so cute!) Definitely come here if you’re looking for baby items! Cannot recommend enough.”
“I came to this Anthropologie with 8 days before my wedding (yes, it was a VERY fast turnaround wedding) with my mom and both of my sisters. I wasn't looking for a "wedding dress" per se, was looking for an awesome sequins dress. Myself, my mom and both of my sisters each found the perfect dress that evening. And we couldn't have done it without the amazing crew at this Anthropologie. Not only did they make this shopping experience so fun, but they were helping bringing us all the dresses they had, and overnighting a particular dress - only ONE left in the entire country. I've never experienced a team of staff as dedicated to making our visit unforgettable. To everyone there - from the bottom of my heart - thank you.”
