Review from Katie M.

On my quest for a pair of shoes to wear at wedding I stopped in a number of shoe stores, including Geox, a brand that feature "waterproof and breathable" shoes. While I can't confirm either of these claims, I can confirm that the shoes, while nice, were a little too expensive for what I was looking for.
The staff at Geox were very into their brand, which is important, it's nice to be assisted by someone who has a passion for what they're selling. They told me all about the technology behind the shoes and helped me find a few pairs to try on in my size.
The shoes were definitely comfortable and I probably would have bought a pair if they weren't so far outside my budget. Other shoe stores in the area routinely sell aesthetically similar shoes at a much cheaper price, so unless you're looking specifically for the Geox technology, you'll probably be able to find a similar pair of shoes for a fraction of the price, as I did.
Despite the fact that I didn't purchase a pair of shoes here, I would still recommend this store for somebody who wasn't as concerned about their budget, as the shoes were definitely comfortable and the staff were great. -

Ahh, the front end shop in Park Lane Mall. What will you be next? This store front seems to have a curse similar to the current location of 'Estia.'
Geox, the high fashion shoe company is the most recent inhabiter of this location and i'm curious to see how long they'll last. When I ducked in last week as part of a black shoe quest, I almost dropped said leather flat when I realized it was going to cost $150. Ok, not aiming for the student crowd... $150 is winter boot pricing, not little black flat pricing.
I assume Geox is primarily marketing itself towards a middle aged well to-do population but I have yet to see many of them shopping here either. Potential for good sales, but I don't know if that's Geox' thing. -

Put on your sunglasses folks, Geox could illuminate a small neighborhood with its powerful lights and large windows. I'm all for brightness and vitamin D, but it took my little peepers about a minute to adjust to the bright-light assault upon entering this Parklane shop.
The two women working were very nice. I learned that Geox is an independently owned store, but that it's franchised - meaning that it is indeed part of an overarching corporate scene.
Some of the shoes are quite nice with comfort and style coming together in the form of black flats and wedge heels. Prices are average if comparing to the other Spring Garden shoe-shops, but that's not saying that they're all that accessible.
All of the shoes are Italian designs and made in either Portugal or Brazil. It's a good place to check out if you've got some coin to spend and you're in the market for some new dressy shoes.
PS- They have dude-shoes, too! -

Geox reminds me of a scene from the adventures of Marty McFly in Back to the Future II. I see this shop fitting into the film's 1989 depiction of what 2015 would be like. With its overly curated lighting and excess amounts of white, Geox could easily serve a spot in cousin Biff's monstrosity of a hotel.
For those who managed to avoid the pre-teen Michael J. Fox crush, you may be lost in confusion. Maybe you've simply opted for another review. Thats ok. But what I'm really getting at is this: its just a little tough to take Geox seriously.
The shoe variety carry a "Croc meets leather meets sports" look. I'm already judging. Add to that, a decor that takes itself way to seriously, and I'm spent.
Perhaps I'm full of beans and these are actually the most comfortable and structurally sound kicks in town. But with high prices and low style, in my opinion, this place isn't for budding fashionistas. -

Geox makes some pretty nice shoes. However the price will make your heart skip a beat or two.
I am not sure Geox and Cheap can be said in the same sentence. Aside from the price, if this is not an issue for you, then you will get some great shoes.
Geox makes really comfortable shoes, both casual and dressy. The quality is there in the product as well. I really like the Geox, but this is a shoe you should look at lasting you a while, so this is the rational for paying a little extra. -

I'm always struck by how there isn't much in this store. Actually there may be a lot, but the space is just so open and bright and "modern" that I don't really see the shoes - they look like part of the design scheme.
The shoes themselves, upon closer inspection, are mainstream trendy. Right now, lots of black shiny stuff, synthetic materials, think I saw some faux fur on boots in there... I have dropped in a few times while hunting for something specific but never found anything worthwhile.
