I shopped here with my mother as a kid 30 years ago. I loved coming to the Barn becasue of all the fun toys and athletic equipment as well as the best selection of sneakers. I love the Barn!

My husband 50 years ago went here as a little boy with his mom and we still go here for our 9 and 1 year old. We love the barn!

I remember going to The Barn as a kid with my mom and aunt. I recently relocated to the area, and took a ride there to check it out, and was amazed at the great adult shoe collection they have. I like "good brand" shoes, and I found all of my favorites there--clogs, sandals, and comfy dress shoes--and so many different styles. The staff was inviting, but not pushy, and seemed to be having as much fun as I was. I love this place--and it reminds me of my childhood as they still had those metal foot measuring tools!

Pros: Customer service, selection, parking

Cons: You've got to find it.

"I've been a happy customer of the BARN for over 25 years. For me it's a great, relaxed, no pressure 'one stop shopping' right in my neighborhood--whether I'm looking for a pair of CROCS, a pair of dressy shoes or anything in between including clothing--I can always be sure to find what I'm looking for. The store is always, clean, orderly, well stocked and the staff is knowledgeable, helpful and polite. I want to thank the great staff for all of their help and honest advice over the years!"

Great time saver, everything all in one place, - shoes, sneakers, boots, socks, swinsuits, shorts. And the staff is really helpful -- they actually wait on you!

I was disappointed in this shoe store. I had trouble finding what I wanted and the children's shoes were over-priced! Plus, don't be fooled by the "lenient" return policy. When I tried to return a $50 pair of child's shoes that my son had for one day and wore in the house only, they turned me down - citing a loose thread in a seam (probably there when I bought it!). I will definitely not be back!

Pros: parking

Cons: lousy customer service, high prices
