I went to a Footlocker shoe store on Copenhagen’s walking street. I went to this particular store once already, and I wanted another pair of shoes, so I went again. If you didn’t know, Footlocker is a very popular American retailer and known for high quality footwear and sportswear.
Firstly, the outside of it looked nice and simple. You could clearly see all the shoes they had inside. Once you actually step inside, all of the shoes are on display on both walls. There are places to sit for customers to try on shoes and a few mirrors here and there obviously to see how you look with certain shoes on. There was nice music playing in the background as you’d expect in any shop. They had all the popular shoe brands and there was a lot of variety. It was very fun to look for and try on different shoes, or even window shop there because there were a lot of different shoes for anyone.
I got pretty occupied in looking at shoes and I wasn’t bored or underwhelmed. The staff wasn’t rude or annoying, but they could be more friendly and smile, but that’s usually not expected in Copenhagen or just Europe in general. Personally I don’t mind if staff isn’t overly kind because I feel like it comes off as fake or over the top, so I don’t mind if they act normal and act like themselves. They provided me with different sizes when I asked and informed me on info about different shoes, as expected from a staff.
The reason why I went there in the first place is because for the longest time, I really wanted a certain pair of shoes, and of course they were in stock. The staff informed me on things I should know about the shoes I wanted, and gave me different offers like soles or laces to go with them. After trying them on and experimenting with different sole combinations, I ended up buying the original 6-Inch Timberland boots, with high top soles to go with them.
I’m satisfied with my purchase, but my only complaint would be that the soles are a little overpriced. I would expect soles to be around 100 kr, but the soles I bought were 180 kr, which is almost $30 or €20, but I think that’s just because it’s Copenhagen. Or maybe I’m just not experienced with regular shoe sole prices.
Overall, my experience was positive, and I wouldn’t mind going again. I recommend this shop to anyone who likes buying nice shoes.
