Best shoe store in Smithfield, North Carolina (NC) 2024

This Place is odd compared to other Hibbett’s. Went to this store around 12:20 on 02/16/2022 after the raffle drop for AJ1 Marina Blue. Sign and policy state that after 12:00 P.m on release day the shoes that haven’t been picked up are forfeited and are placed for sale! Asked worked about a pair that i wanted to get for my nephew and myself. He stated there was some that weren’t picked up but he had to call them in sections and give them two hours to pick up. He also stated that they wouldn’t go out for sale until around Friday morning which is not what their policy states. He gave me a long story with multiple parts on how their “Policy” for forfeited shoes work. It didn't make sense he was everywhere with the story. You can tell it was made up. I walked out because im not going to argue with a kid and snapped a picture of the front door signage. If this is “Policy” they need to state that on the website and doors. Im pretty sure they are holding for themselves, friends and families. Ive always bought from Hibbetts and have never heard of what this kid told me until i dealt with the Smithfield Store. Just sad that they rather hold for themselves, family, or friends who more than likely are going to resell, which is against most shoe stores, instead of selling to a customer. Hopefully ownership see all the bad reviews this store is getting and cleans house. Time for a staff switch. ~Omar
