Craig's Shoes formerly Alamo Shoes

[Ana]

I want to give a GLOWING review of Craigs Shoes.  The service is AMAZING, and they have great prices and selection as well!  I was drawn in by a sign advertising a sale on UGGs.  They had a pair of UGGs that I have been unable to find for several months.  They didn't have my size, but they called around and had them the next day.  They also have a great selection of children's shoes - including stride rite and sketchers.  They are so very knowledgable about all of the lines they carry (e.g. what runs big, small, etc) - and so very helpful (willing ot search for shoes that aren't on the sales floor).  They also offer lay away!  I'm so glad we have this gem of a store in Berwyn!

I was there last Saturday (in a hurry, opted for Craig's to avoid the headache of the mall) and was expecting the same service and selection of the previous owner.  Craig has brought to our Berwyn what I expect of a former Andersonville Alamo Shoes and he stepped it up a notch or two or ten just for us.  Thank you Craig -- I LOVE your store (and the fact that you are not at the mall)!

^^ ...for what types of shoes?

my ol' lady's reviews were not as glowing ...
I'll check it out myself and report back... I'm in dire need of shoes...
I used to like Jarman at the HIP, but they're no longer around.

They have a nice selection of Boots.  THey are expanding thier selection of womens shoes - I don't know that there was more than 1 pair of regular shoes in there that I consider my style - but the boots... I love 'em.  They also have a HUGE selection of crocs - which I hated until I got my kids some.  The kids shoes selection was also great...
I didn't spend too much time scouting out the mens shoes, so I can't really give advice there.

The males in my house have been happy w/Craig's selection.   Ditto on the comments from Ana and delbowz. 

Also positive reviews from YELP:

so, would it be a safe bet to go there tonight and be able to pick up a nice pair of women's UGGs for a Christmas gift?  What is their return policy?  I doubt that I can do a good job picking the right one/size.

Calll, ask them to hold a few in the size you want, bets are boots are selling well today.  I've never had a problem w/returns.

Yeah ... size, that may be an issue.  Why don't they make all shoes in one size fits all?

As an expert in womens shoes, particularly high heels, I would suggest size 8

[ZORBA]

They must be hard to walk in, huh Bear?

[delbowz]

UGGS run big - just know that.  I would call if you know the size/style - if they don't have them, they can likely find them and get them by tomorrow.  They had a great selection of the latest UGGS there - they also have the Water and Stain repellant for the UGGS - for like $9.00.

I'm glad somebody gets some pleasure out of them as most women consider them a form of foot torture.  Being 5'10 myself I have never had a need for them - most men don't like being towered over by a woman.

"most men don't like being towered over by a woman."

Hey I don't mind at all...It is like an Amazon adventure for me.

You know what they say.

We recently went to Craig's list and loved it.  Bought boots for the entire family.  I called there a year ago for some specialty shoes but they didn't have them then.  I was glad to see how much this store has now.  Check it out!

I may wander over between dinner and football.
