Jenny KJuly 10, 2015Surprised by all these negative reviews. It's an old school shoe store for sure, but I walked in and despite the crowd I was immediately and efficiently helped. A+ experience!Upvote2Downvote
Rosemary AbendrothMarch 25, 2012Everyone in the UWS goes to Harry's but this place has a truly excellent selection of walking shoes and other comfortable shoes that r truly fashionable. Very good service for such a small store.UpvoteDownvote
Javier AmorNovember 22, 2010I have visited this store many many time and Melvin Nelson Jr is most knowledgable salesman there and is also a certified Pedorthist. His days off are Monday and Thursday. You must see him!!!Upvote1Downvote

JPAugust 25, 2015Staff was super helpful. Had a strap on a pair of sandals that broke on me and were beyond repair. They l helped me find the exact same pair of shoes I was wearing to replace my broken ones.UpvoteDownvote- Jenny KOctober 8, 2015Great stock but last two pairs I tried on were slightly damaged. Check carefully before you buy.UpvoteDownvote

Christina SongJune 20, 2013Just a bunch of old men who would rather sit around, their asses glued to the chairs talking about how someone's a "kunt." Then to offer any help.UpvoteDownvote
