Ballard's of Blue Ridge

"Stopped by Ballard's today for the first time to get my son a pair shoes. Lance was top notch, not only helping us select a pair, but making us feel like home the entire time. They have an excellent selection of high quality shoes. Men, women's and children. Whether local or visiting the area, you should stop in and check it out!"

"To those who know, it's no surprise, but if ya don't now ya know. This isn't your grandaddy's shoe store! Lance and his team have a gem of a shoe and boot shop nestled up in the Blue Ridge mountains. From your outdoor gear, to your night time kicks, the footwear here are comfortable, durable and stylish all at once. These are some high-end foot wear, but worth every single penny. While I was there, I witnessed him and his assistant handle a midday rush with finesse and diligence. He gave attention where it was needed and still was able to genuinely assist others as they came in to his store. Local owned, I highly reccomend you make this a stop for your holiday or special occasion needs. And whatever the size, he will do his due diligence to provide what you need."

"Best place to buy your shoes, hands down. Why? The customer service and quality of shoes offered are above and beyond. I was vacationing in the area and happened to stop in when I saw they sell Lems. Getting to try them on in person sealed the deal, and Lance the owner offered great customer service, making sure I was taken care of. Size 10s were too big, and the 9s too small so Lance ordered 9.5s for me and shipped them to my house for free! Ballards is a class act, providing great customer service through kindness and human interaction. Just what you would hope for from an independent, family run business. Check out Ballards, you won't be disappointed. Our country needs more businesses like Ballards."

"My family and I had an amazing experience shopping at Ballard’s. They have beautiful styles and a great selection of comfortable, stylish, top quality shoes. Lance was so kind and helped us every step of the way, making sure we were happy with our purchase. The hospitality we experienced with him has definitely been one of the highlights of our trip to Blue Ridge and we wouldn’t hesitate to stop by again. HIGHLY recommend supporting this wonderful business!"
