406 N Milwaukee Ave, Libertyville“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! ??♀️”
“I live in Texas. I’ve been looking for two pairs of Hokas For my family. They were sold out online and add brick-and-mortar stores everywhere. I found Waxberg online call them. They found the both the shoes at different store locations and sent them to me within a week. From now on when I need to replace the Hokas I will be using this fabulous company”
“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!”
“Wonderful patience and attention to detail throughout the scanning, fitting, and sizing experience. I feel confident in my choice and ready to hit the road. Thanks gang!”
“This is a great place that remodels often. The employees are super helpful. Everyone I know here is encouraging. It's a very good environment. They have drinks and snacks for sale too. Personally, my favorite part is the cat. This cat is so nice and is my best friend. His name is Charlie and he is a cutie.”
“Great customer service!!Unfortunately, my feet are too wide/flat to fit the casual Birkenstock sandals, so the team here helped me find a professional pair for work and they’re so comfortable!”
“The store is so well organized and has great choices for all. The store associate Aaron was absolutely fantastic/helpful/knowledgeable. We are so grateful to his expertise!! Ty for making the shopping experience so much more fun. And also helping us with our fits for our event !”

239 Golf Mill Center Space 350, Niles“Hard to come across shoe stores these days that carry high quality, European shoe brands. They had a nice selection of brands including Rieker and Naot plus many more. There was also a great selection of boots and nicer dress shoes for special events. Definitely tailored more towards an older generation and the prices are very high. Employees are friendly and helpful!”
“I usually order online but stopped into the store on a whim sans kids..huge shout out to Sandra who went above and beyond to help us. Totally worth coming in today!”
“Best in class for comfort, style, and service. Probably the largest selection of the ON brand shoe in the Chicago area. Big selection of European comfort shoes.The staff is highly knowledgeable about shoe brands, technology, and construction. Super nice people, no rush, great shopping experience. Ask for Steve.”
“Super knowledgeable and cared about running and ensuring we got the correct running shoes. Took a look at my sons balance and stride and listened to his concerns and picked out the shoes he should try. The knowledge itself was 5 stars, but the sincerity and friendly attitude made this a great place and a great small business to support. We were visiting, but if they were in Virginia I would never go anywhere else.”
“When I moved from my old neighborhood, I thought I would have to go back there for my very reliable shoemaker, but I have discovered Alex at Bannockburn Shoe Repair. He is wonderful!!”
“Fitted for a new pair of boots and was advised to install new orthotic inserts. It made a world of difference as the pain in my foot and knee has diminished significantly.”
“Came in around 1pm on Saturday 3/30 and this store quite possibly has the best retail employees I’ve ever experienced in my long years of shopping. Dude with the French tattoo, chefs kiss. Female with snake bite piercings, totally awesome and helpful. Will probably only buy my Vans from this shop moving forward.”

701 N Milwaukee Ave Ste 362, Vernon Hills“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!”
“Shopped here to find the perfect Valentine's Day gift for my wife. Madewell offers quality jeans, blouses, sweaters, and pants that are simplistic yet "clean girl aesthetic", according to my 14 year old niece. 5/5 will be back.”
“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.”
“Superb company with exceedingly an amazing customer service.It's very a brilliant company, I ordered pair of sneakers which were delivered to me way before than the provided timescale.The probable delivery timescale is up to 25-28 days, however, I’ve ordered three pairs of sneakers(Fennix Toby), and all were delivered exactly on 14th day after the order was placed.When the pair was delivered, I was approached the owner of the company to find out if the shoe quality was as I was expecting, fitting and the customer service, especially the colour of Navy sneaker.If anyone has a bit of doubt then you can call the customer service number and have you concerns answered.”
“They have good selection of shoes for every season, bring money and you will always buy something, they should have actual shopping carts there my only complaint.”
“The staff was knowledgeable and friendly. Dane did a great job walking me through the Fleet Feet foot scan and a number of shoe options based on my current training needs.”
