What Our Customers Are Saying
“Great store but Samantha the store manager steals the show. She was amazing, knowledgeable, super patient and got me into a pair of great Wolverines. Highly recommend talking to her for a boot recommendation!”
– Joe Z.
“I have been purchasing my safety shoes from here and received excellent service, especially the store manager [Samantha] who takes effort and time to take care of customers’ needs.”
– Priyanku B.
“This place has gotten to be my regular for shoes. I no longer buy mine from Payless or stores that sell cheap shoes especially because the sales person really knows the right shoes for the customers like Beck's. Quality of service: A Quality of product: A Price: Reasonable”
– Apit L.
“Julian was super helpful and a chill guy fr! We walked in looking for workout shoes and he helped us find the perfect pair along with insoles after showing us the feet scan. The deals are great compared to most places and they carried a variety of the shoes I was looking for.”
– Juliana P.
“Julian is the epitome of customer service. Very knowledgeable on the product. He will match you up with the right shoe for your exact needs. Best of all he is very patient and not your typical 'salesman' so you don't feel that pressure of buying something on impulse.”
– Chris C.
“Julian Guardiola is fantastic! Friendly, extremely helpful, not rushing any customers or pushing a sale. Because of Julian we also bought leather protection and many pairs of socks. Yes, it was an expensive purchase at the end. But actually worth it to have a sales person who knows his products and has a great sense of humor.”
– Cindy W.
