I had bought my 2nd pair of Thierry Rabotin shoes. My 1st pair was from Tip Top Shoes . I still have my 1st pair after a whole year and love them dearly. Anyway, I always past this store and the location is good. After I purchased the 2nd pr, I stood on the carpeted floor at my place of work, the heel didn't have that stable feel. Only if I walked around in them did they feel better. I misjudged these pair since they are alot more dresser then my first pair and the heel part isn't as wide as my 1st pair. I decided to try to exchange them and get a pair just like my 1st pair but in a different color. The manager Sammy took a careful look at the Claires (2nd pr) and said to me that he couldn't do anything because the inside of the shoe showed signs of it being worn and the edge of the front had a scruff mark. I said why don't you sell them in clearance? He said he can't. This tells me how inflexible this business is and how a customer can't ever make a misjudgement on how a shoe really feels after a actual day of it in action. How can ANYONE know for sure if the shoe is absoluately comfortable if they hadn't worn them?!!! They don't have any common sense and all they are after are PROFITS!! No concern whatsoever about the CUSTOMER. I WILL NEVER SET FOOT IN THAT STORE EVER!!!!!

Not bad. I stumbled in here so just to look and fortunately (not really, I am a poor grad student) I came out with two new pairs of flats both for $40. I went downstairs were all shoes are $19.99 or…

Shoemania is a madhouse. I guess your opinion of the place depends on your feelings about madhouses. On the bright side, they are always offering a buy one pair get one half price deal. Solid. Their…

I second Karen G.'s labrythine comparison (well without the David Bowie part). Do you remember those halls of mirrors at the fun park? Those were easier to manage, and at least you got a laugh,…

I have been on a mission for a new pair of Saucony's for a while now. Either I am looking in the wrong places or there is a veritable Saucony drought in New York. As a last resort, I came to one of my…

Decent selection of shoes, but it's a little tough getting ahold of an employee to fetch you your kicks. Maybe I'm confused, but isn't there another Shoe Mania a few blocks west on 14th St. as well?…

Despite the sizable inventory and great selection of brands, there is not even a semblance of customer service. As the staff alternates between indifferently rude and unbearably pushy at head spinning…

Eh. I think this is a good shoe store for college students and people on a budget. I am neither of those. Lots of cheaply made shoes and I saw a bunch of Chie Mihara knockoffs when I walked in. I…

I've been trying to squeeze the last bit of mileage out of my suede boots, and tonight it backfired. As I was walking down the subway stairs, the heel literally slipped off the shoe, and walking was…

As they say in spanish: Que horror. What a terrible place. Badly laid out with semi-aggressive salespeople and too many other customers for casual cruising. And it's not even super cheap.
