| - Huge warehouse-type store with loads of selection and price points for just about any budget. The downside- designer labels are rare to find and sometimes non-existent. If you like paying big bucks for brand names, this is not your place- go be waited on in a department store. If you like shoes that get the job done and don't always cost a lot, then Off Broadway is worth a visit.
Store is divided between men's and women's shoes, with women getting about a generous 2/3 of the retail floor. Boots, heels, flats, you name it. Just about every kind of shoe I could think of is there, but you likely won't always recognize the name on the label.
For the guys, dress shoes, casual wear, sneakers and a few flip flops make it into the mix. Yes, there's a handful of Nike, Adidas, Reebok, etc there, but you'll not find a full and complete line. Same for dress shoes- Kenneth Cole, Calvin Klein, etc. Nothing super-high end. Looks like this store either picks and chooses to cover the necessities or it only buys on special deals on a very limited selection. You can absolutely get running shoes here, but it just may not be the exact model you were looking for. Same with dress shoes. But as a guy who does have to dress in a suit daily, I am impressed that I can still find higher end dress shoes- no rubber soles and full leather uppers.
But for both sexes, the deal you have got to check out is the clearance section in the very back. A small selection of shoes grouped by size is put on the rack with colored stickers that correspond to how much additional you get to take off the price. By far, this is the deal. I've bought $150 dress shoes for less than $70. I've bought casual shoes that originally were $75 for about $30. The selection changes constantly as they sell out and lines are discontinued. But I have had very good luck finding something close to what I was looking for every single time.
Now for those who are local, the second best deal is the Encore Rewards you get at the register. You basically get a coupon for 10% of your total purchase to use towards a future purchase. And, you can stack those coupons together. Hence, if you shop for shoes enough, you could likely score a free pair or two after several trips. The coupons never expire, you just have to keep the entire receipt together. You can't beat a deal like that.
In all, this is just about the best shoe shop in Charlotte for folks who don't have to live by name brands. It's close to uptown and the selection will cover just about any scenario. Happy feet make for happy shopping. I'm sold.
