Shoe shopping at a mall in 1989

This is what YouTube should be for. no for influencers and shameless sales

The “soundtrack” made me more nostalgic than anything else.

Heck yeah, heck yeah! This took me back to when I was 9 years of age in 1989 yeah!

It's kind of funny how 34 years later, while the music is different, the prices are different and the method of payment is a little different, this is still the exact same vibe you get going into a store like this in a mall. Tiny store. Only a few employees. Try on shoes. Small talk. "Receipt's in the bag, have a nice night." "You too. See you later." Something about malls being incredibly left in the past (and on the brink of death) have preserved a shopping experience that you don't really get anymore anywhere outside of that setting.

it's mindblowing how no one feels weird about their credit cards being closely observed by a large camera

Brings back so many great memories of shopping at the mall. Such a simpler better time

These videos are pure treasures. It encapsulates the whole feel and experience of being there that day. The clothes, the music, everything! I was only 2 here but remember going to shoe stores with mom and dad with this same exact ambiance

They were playing some good music in that store....Steve Winwood, Johnny Hates Jazz, .38 Special. The music of my childhood. ♥️♥️♥️

The music in the background takes me back.

When you used to try on shoes and not just buy them and walk out. Classic music too.

I love so many things about this video. The clothes, music, hair, acid washed jeans, high tops, old credit card technology, and the customer service in this store! The young salesman actually helping to fit the customer was something from the past. I have not had an experience like that in the past 20 years at least.

This video was filmed somewhere in the Boston area in February 1989. 🕵🏻‍♂️ In the background, you can hear the radio playing WZOU 94.5 FM, which used to be a FM radio station until 1992 when it changed format to WJMN 94.5 (Jammin’ 94.5). You can also hear the DJ talking about a concert by the band Cheap Trick the following night. Cheap Trick performed two concerts in Massachusetts that year: one in Boston (on 2/2/89) and the other in Springfield (on 2/3/89). So, the date of this video was February 1, 1989.

Going shoe shopping back in Foot Locker back in the day was a much more pleasant experience. These days for whatever reason Foot Locker has become so obnoxiously hip-hop centered that it detracts everyday folks and families from wanting to even walk inside.

I find the smart phone useful, but I can remember back then. And I can tell you that many of us were more "present" in the moment when we did not have tech at our hands. Many of us are still present when we are out and about, but there are those moments we are taken out of the moment, albeit briefly, but just something different with how we were back then to this current time. And that includes both positive and negative too for the combined experiences....just something...different....

Life seemed so much simpler then...

Dude your videos are absolutely incredile. THANK YOU SO MUCH!!! They bring back such awesome memories.

The guy buying the shoes looked so young to have a BofA Visa Card. I think I heard the sales guy ask him if it was his credit card. I love that 80's music playing in the background. The 80's were a great time to be young.

So cool! Loved the mid-80's through the 90's! Thanks for sharing!

Fantastic 80’s vibe! I was rockin’ some Reebok Pumps with the tennis ball ‘pump device’ on the tongue Miss those great times!
