I went in this a.m.
Minutes until 10a.m.
I was ready to shop.
$$$$$ burning a hole in my pocket
Owner walked up
Looked at me up & down like trash. No hello, I'll be open in just a sec....or better yet...welcome!
I left, drove into the city, went to DAN BROS and bought 3 pairs of DANSKO'S and a pair of Blundstone Boots. Big sale.........for a small business who treated me with professionalism.
Will NEVER return....to Towson Bootery.

We just bought our daughter her first pair of real, actually-for-walking shoes here. We had gone to Nordstrom first, where we had a hard time getting the attention of anyone in the children's shoe department, and they measured her at size 3 and then didn't seem to be able to show us anything appropriate for her. We gave up and went to Towson Bootery instead. We were acknowledged within a minute despite the extremely busy store, and the lady who helped us measured our daughter at size 4 1/2, explained what to look for in a shoe at her age, and showed us several appropriate options.

I bought 3 new pair of shoes excited to wear them to work. When I tried them on they felt well. I wore one pair to work for 4 hours and ended up having a huge blister. I immediately returned the pair of shoes because they were just too tight. They took back the two pair of shoes but not the third because it was worn. Not a big deal I get it but the way I was treated by the owner Alex was so disrespectful and rude that I will not be returning. There are other stores that treat their customers with respect and dignity. I have referred several friends to this store. This is not the first time that

Do NOT come here!
Horrible customer service, bad selection, and the old man who runs the store is just plain mean. Why put money in his pocket? The girl who works there and sells the shoes is very nice, but she sold me snow boots that do not protect my little girl's feet from the snow. I tried to exchange them or get store credit and they refused because they "just got another shipment of snow boots and won't even be able to sell those." I would understand if they were reasonable or nice people - but they weren't! And I was even going to buy another couple pairs of shoes

Having a child with special needs who requires a brace on only one leg - I have spent hours upon hours tying to find shoes that will accommodate the brace and her Unbraced foot. The last two braces she had I spent over $100 buying two pairs of shoes in different sizes just to make it work.
Today, we went to Towson bootery - we had a great experience buying sandals at the end of the summer - while in between braces. While we were there the sales person mentioned they are well versed in fitting braces, so when we got our brace last week I knew we would try them this time.
I am happy to say-

I am not even sure how I stumbled up on this place of business. I called a few weeks before I actually went there this past Saturday. My grandson is a little over 7 months and I felt it was time for him to have something on his feet. After the discussing with the owner prior to going the business he made me aware that my grandson was too young for soft bottoms and that he would suggest pre walkers. I had never heard of them. He then explained that at the age a child just needs something on his feet as protection. When we arrived at the store I asked where the pre walkers were located. I explained

Awesome customer service. Alex is a very skillful shoe repairman who has been doing this many years. He had my boot ready in two days even though he told me to give him a week. It was a nice surprise to have it done sooner than he said and when i picked up my shoe it was in better condition than it was when i bought it new!! Its also is a very convenient location with very friendly employees, and VERY reasonable pricing. He replaced several broken shoelace hooks and put them on for just $8 on my shoe!!! I couldn't have had a better experience. The only thing is its cash/check only and no atm

What an awful, mean, nasty, rude, evil owner this place has!!! I have been buying my children's shoes here for over 16 years and I will NEVER step foot in the place again. We purchased a pair of shoes for my 4 year old. She is very hard to find shoes for because she is so picky about how they feel. She tried them on and said they were good. I was so glad and got them. She walked around the mall for about 10 minutes in them and immediately her skin was rubbed raw from the side of the shoe. I went back in to let them know and return them. Of course, I was thinking, oh should be no problem

I've shopped here for 15 years for kids school shoes, athletic shoes, husband's shoes, my shoes. Service was sometimes good, sometimes lacking. the owner of the store is definitely a know-it-all. Recently, we went in to purchase a pair of bucks (my daughter's school shoe). We had a pair of Sperrys that were coming apart after a few months. There was a small hole forming in the center of the heel on the bottom of the shoe. He told us he'd NEVER carry Sperrys because of their shoddy quality and sold us another brand that he promised was indestructible.

These guys know shoes and they are full-service. Meaning, they'll get your existing shoes repaired/re-soled and sell you a new pair too. Previously, I had a problem getting knee-high boots to zip - but I got an education from the salesman here and I've been wearing boots ever since!! I also got the 411 on Dansko - now made in China, but also my favorite brand. The selection of shoes for kids is outstanding!
