I visited the outlet, planning to buy shoes for both my husband and me. We wanted to try the shoes and sat briefly on the sofa to test the fit. Then, the staff named H. Ueda told us to move and said the seat was for her customer instead.
I was honestly shocked. Aren’t we customers too? It wasn’t what she said, but how she said it with a dismissive tone and expression. A simple, polite request to make some space would have been enough. Or she could’ve just asked the other customer’s husband to stand since he wasn’t buying, instead of making us feel unwelcome.
It really ruined the shopping experience. We ended up buying one pair there and the second pair at the Shinsaibashi outlet instead.

I ended up buying the shoes that fit me the most and I never had the feeling that I needed to rush anything. Ms Jeung although being a trainee(shown on her badge) did an amazing job. I highly recommend anyone who’s looking for a pair of shoes of this brand to come here instead of the shinsaibashi or namba stores. The staff here seems a lot more helpful and it’s a lot less...
