All I did was walk in the place with my husband and ask where the athletic shoes were. Before I knew it the salesman whisked me away and gave me a pair of dirty used socks to put on my feet, sized me and went and got me these orthapedic looking walking shoes(which I really was looking for walking shoes). I got up and looked around a bit at the other more attractive shoes which were all over 100.00 dollars. The shoes he gave me were 25% off and were 79.00 with tax. When I thanked him and took the box of shoes that he dang near shoved in my arms I fled toward my husband who had been approached by two different sales people and he had turned down immediately because all of the men's athletic shoes are overpriced and ugly and he had seen what this salesman was doing to me. \r
I whispered in my husband's ear, I don't want these shoes...I am going to put them back, no sooner did I say that, was the salesman back over to us , took the shoes out of my arms and told me that he would carry them for me and followed us through the store while we looked at other shoes. At this point I was getting angry but at the same time I was embarrassed that I couldn't speak up to ditch the shoes and this Al Bundy type shoes person. My husband finally just took the shoes from the man and bought them which was a spur of the moment thing I thought also. \r
When we left and got into the car I was incensed, mostly at myself, then the salesperson and a little at my husband. I said"" I am not keeping those shoes!"" I will return them tomorrow"". (They really look like medical shoes for someone that has severe foot trouble). But when I got home and looked at the receipt much to my surprise there is a ""NO Returns For Shoes More Than 20% percent off!"" He made sure he went and picked my shoes out for me so that they were 25% off. Bad place! Ugly shoes! Bad policy! Overpriced! High pressure sales tactics! Completely my fault! I am the sucker this time but Never again!
