Testimonials

“As a teacher and coach for over 20 years, I have seen hundreds of student-athletes work with staff at Ted’s Shoe & Sport. The expertise, the personalized service, and the investment each employee makes into the individuals they work with is astounding. I have never heard of a complaint about an interaction with a member of the Ted’s Shoe & Sport team”

“What a wonderful shopping experience I had this past week with the guidance of patient, curious, and attentive sales associate, Thomas. I returned to Ted’s to purchase a new pair of walking sneakers after having purchased a pair two years ago at Ted’s that just didn’t work well for me. I brought in both the sneakers that I purchased two years ago along with an old pair that I’ve been using as a back-up and we talked through my walking routine, what I liked and didn’t like with the sneakers I had, and more. Thomas brought out several pairs that addressed my interests and I walked out with a pair of Asics that, after walking in them every day this past week, are a winner! Such a great sneaker for me. Thank you, Thomas, for your help with finding a sneaker that is best for me!”

“I’ve heard how great Ted’s was for years from friends. I can’t believe it took me this long to get down there. I had a wonderful experience. They talked with me about my foot history. What I was experiencing with my feet and the activities I was planning on doing. Ted came out with a sneaker that was exactly what I was looking for and he stretched it out in places I needed it to make my feet more comfortable. I highly recommend anyone who cares about their feet or is experiencing some discomfort to stop by and see if they can help you. For me, it was worth the trip.”

“The training Ted gives to his employees is extraordinary.— 300 hours of training before letting someone serve his customers. That’s unheard of anywhere but at this shoe store. This past weekend, we were very well taken care of by Jenna.We found the store by accident when taking our child to summer camp 4 summers ago, and every year since we have looked forward to replacing and buying new sneakers when passed through Keene on the way to camp.Jenna was exceptionally knowledgeable about not only their products and the features of them that would benefit us, but specifically in observing my wife’s gait, and finding the right sneakers to help her, accounting for the sneakers orthotics she had left home.The training provide the staff is something we have not encountered anywhere else, and we live in NYC, where everything else you can possibly imagine is available, except this. No shoe store in the Big Apple, to my knowledge, offers the expertise that Ted’s does. We have never had a someone at a shoe store offer to stretch a pair of shoes - we did not know that this was anything available. My wife has always had extra-wide feet and often has difficulty finding shoes that fit. The idea that shoes can be stretched is something we did not know existed.Jenna was friendly, super-knowledgeable, and worked hard to make sure all three of us left with the best shoes available in our sizes.”

“Ted’s has very loyal customers in my and my family. I took my mother there yesterday in search of some new comfortable shoes to help with her neuropathy. She has a very hard time finding shoes that are comfortable, and her nerve endings cause her to not be able to wear socks at all. Not only did we have personal attention (as usual), but Ted himself stepped in toward the end and really sat down and talked with my mom about her issues. In the end, she found a pair of shoes that worked for her and we had some really great conversation! We’ve been loyal customers for a while, but this experience was above and beyond their normal incredible customer service. As another small business owner, this means the world to me. Thanks, Ted.”
