1875 Innes Rd, Ottawa“Amazing customer service. Friendly staff & great advice on what type of shoes would best-fit your kids!
The size that my son needed wasn’t in stock so they ordered it. My son fell asleep as we were in our way to pick up and they brought my order to my car.”

860 Bank St, Ottawa“Awesome local shop with unique shoes and accessories. It's so great to have funky shoe options in ottawa! Thanks to Tahra and the team for their welcoming, friendly and helpful service!”
“Great selection of quality shoes. You will not see this quality in run of the mill shoe stores. Service was excellent, helpful and not at all pushy. There is a huge selection of shoes that are unique and well made. I bought 2 pairs of Volks Walkers and they told me there was a year warranty. If something breaks etc within the year, and they cannot repair it, they will give you another pair or if not available a store credit. Now that is service and a company that stands behind their products!”
“Had a wonderful experience at this location. Thomas helped me pick 3 pairs, he took his time with me to suit what I was trying to style. He went above and beyond with his customer service. The lady that worked with him too was very nice and helpful. Definitely coming back to this specific location in future.”
“Had a wonderful experience at my visit! The store is very welcoming and the staff are very informative when it comes to their inventory! Tevin was very helpful with my purchase! Thank you!”
“I had the most amazing time at Shepherd’s Fashions. The staff are wonderful and in particular Primal’s keen eye on helping me put together a capsule wardrobe for travel was a fantastic experience.”

769 Bank St, Ottawa“Honestly the best experience I've ever had purchasing training shoes. The store has a clean, minimalist vibe and everything is well labeled. I could have picked out a pair myself but I wanted to get a professionals opinion. Karen helped me ultimately choose a pair of New Balance v12's which by the way were literally almost $100 off!! I have never experienced such seemless shopping in Ottawa for running accessories. Best athletic shoe store for avid runners for sure!
Thanks again Karen!”

When we arrived, Ethan had already picked out a few stylish pieces in Pat’s size and we were served sparkling water.
Ethan made great suggestions, found alternatives and made sure everything fit perfectly.?
Best husband birthday gift ever!”

443 Sussex Dr, Ottawa“My son and I came in on a whim while visiting from Vancouver. My son was born with a problem with his left foot…after I tried on a beautiful pair of sandals, my son tried a pair of boots. For the first time in his life, he had a pair of shoes that fit. For the first time in his life, after years of trying various custom insoles or shoes or modifications, my son felt what it was like to walk evenly. I cannot say enough positive things about John’s boutique and his attention to detail and his customers. We are grateful.”
“amazing experience with PodoCanada. Staff is very welcoming and Sal is very experienced. Definitely recommended as their orthotics and foot inserts are great. i always felt pain in my feet and after visiting Sal i have been feeling so much better!”

160 Slater St., Ottawa“My recent visit to Running Room was a really pleasant surprise, especially considering my initial worries as a mid/plus-size person. From the moment I walked in, the staff were warm and welcoming, which was a nice change from some other athletic stores I've been to. What stood out the most was how inclusive the atmosphere was. When I mentioned how much I appreciated the great customer service, especially as someone with a larger body type, they replied, 'Fitness comes in all shapes and sizes.' That really stuck with me and made me feel genuinely welcome.
I also wanted to try out the Hoka Bondi 8, and the staff were super helpful. They not only helped me find the right pair but also took the time to explain the features of the shoe so I could make a good choice. They made ordering the specific colorway I wanted really easy too.
I'm definitely going back to Running Room for all my future athletic needs. Their awesome service and focus on inclusivity have made me a loyal customer. Highly recommended!

50 Rideau St #266, Ottawa“There's something in the water at this location - this Dynamite consistently has some of the friendliest sales associates of any retail store I've visited. They're doing something right here. Margaret helped me out today and she was lovely. Bought some new party clothes for the holidays and couldn't be happier with the price point.”
“Love Schad! So happy to get back to Ottawa so I could go in person. I had the best afternoon with Chantal. She is super helpful, very personable and fun! I treated myself to a Kerri Rosenthal blazer with the cutest red heart patches on the elbows. Chantal recommended different tops and the funkiest pair of Samsoe Samsoe Shelly jeans. I'm all set for fall. Thank you Chantal. Love your boutique, the collections and your style.”

So happy with this high-quality belt that I'm already trying to figure out which other colour to get next in the same style (tan or distressed brown)! 10 out of 5 stars if possible. Looking forward to wearing it at future rodeos. Thank you, Zelikovitz Leathers & Crafts!”

“I had a really good experience over here. I came here for a specific AF1 shoe and luckily I got it and in the perfect size. Yasmine, Alyssa and Alisha assisted me. They were really friendly. Kudos!”

“Lilah helped me fix an issue at had and was very useful because I’m half deaf and her projecting her voice truly helped me while people at DSW just grew irritated with me. She also apologized for the experience. She shared with me that she can have hearing issues sometimes too and try’s to help people with disabilities to have a continuous and lovely shopping experience.”
“I know all the advantages of these shoes, because I am in Ukraine with themworked. And I understand what the service should be like. We walked in and felt the sidelong glances of the salespeople. This is bad.”

“This is my favourite store in Ottawa.
The good:
Staff is very professional and more than accommodating!
The product they sell are unique and unlike any other.
Speed of delivery.
Patience with shoppers who want to try on lots of different styles.
The meh:
The floor is rough hewn planks with paint over them. Hard to keep clean.
The store is very small (but cozy) lighting could be a bit better.
It is in junkie central. Ottawa Byward market seems to be overrun with junkies and zombies as of 2024. I returned to my car and some chick was lighting a bloody crack pipe next to it.
This is not the store's fault but it is a negative factor to the neighbourhood it's in.
There is no washroom for the staff, they need to go across the road to use the over-used public washrooms.
Other than that, I would not hesitate to visit the store and despite the zombies, I personally haven't been hassled in the market area.”
“Steve is the best sale .He always helped me to find the comfortable shoes and socks .as a restaurant worker,I purchased 6 work shoes one year from Skechers .please keep Steve forever .I always come back to him.”

100 Bayshore Dr, Ottawa“I came in looking for rubber boots and was helped by a very professional and thoughtful sales associate. She was very considerate by bringing out a pair of silver Hunter boots that were on sale for $50! And there's more. She let me know about the customer loyalty program and I could get $5 off the sales price.High five to this employee, she as excellent and provided amazing customer service. I wish more sales people were as considerate especially in this economy.I love the boots and I'll definitely keep coming back to Journeys.Highly recommended their amazing sales team who actually care about customers.”
“I’ve been wanting to visit this store for a long time, and I finally did. Very happy. Great, friendly service. I bought a suit and the alterations were perfect - so far, a great experience. I the. Went back a few weeks later and purchased a made-to-measure dress shirt. Picked up the shirt and it’s perfect. The shirt fits me, a larger, plump body style, better than any off-the-shelf shirts I’ve tried or purchased in the past. I see why this local store has been around for so many years and I’m glad I went to check them out.”
