Thinking New Balance and the like. Beall's was suggested as a good choice. Any confirmations, or other options?

Belk sometimes has them, For Feet's Sake (Sumter Landing) also. Limited selection, but good quality.
There is also a shoe place a few doors down from 5 guys (the name escapes me) Doesn't look like much on the outside, but has very good shoes of all kinds.

I just purchased a pair of quality cross-trainers- outside TV- at Shoe Carnival.
Hubby found his at Dick's Sporting Goods- also outside TV.
Both of these places had a very large selection- it was well worth the trip.

The shoe store near 5 guys is called Shoe Biz. They have tons of different brands. They are a little pricey but in shoes you get what you pay for. If you want reasonable priced I'd say Bealls. Also check out Shoes, Clothing, and More | Zappos.com on line I think they have free shipping and free returns.

Last spring Belk's did not have ANY court shoes (for tennis or pickleball or paddleball). I got some at Shoe Biz, also heard they carry Wilson's court shoes at Glenview tennis shop, but I haven't checked those out.

forgot to say that Kohl's also does not carry court shoes, or didn't last spring anyway.

I have been buying my New Balance shoes for years at the website Shoebuy.com If you don't need a "brick & mortar" store I would suggest them. Good prices, never had an issue with them.

Here is a really good suggestion. Try .... Zappos.com Incredible selection they have shoes, sneakers, clothes etc. Tax Free, Shipping both ways Free, 365 days return policy, most name brands.

I have along with many friends have used them for years all without one single problem, better selection than any you will find here and a better price. Worth a try.

Just two weeks ago we went into Shoe Biz, they also have a store in the shopping center next to Belks. My wife was looking for some silver shoes with a small heel to wear with a dress. We had been to several stores and she couldn't find any. They had the perfect shoe, a Vernali 'Modesta' model, price was $99 which was more than she wanted to pay. We came home and I looked on Zappos and they had them, but wanted $104. Then I went on eBay and found the exact model new in the box in her size for $29.99 with 'Buy Now'. We got the shoes 4 days later in the mail.

I'm going to Bealls tomorrow to buy court shoes. I checked Kohl's and Belks website, the closest thing is a walking shoe. Going to Dick's Sporting Goods in Ocala would probably be the best place, but the Bealls website has K-Swiss tennis shoes for $50 and I've seen them at the court and they're nice. First if anyone is going to Bealls go on Bealls Department Stores website and click on coupons at the top. They have a $13 coupon for purchases over $40 good tomorrow.
