Anyone know if there's a Nordstroms somewhere in Orlando?

Also, a New Balance shoe store?

thanks!

There is a Nordstroms in the Florida Mall

I've seen New Balance trainers at most trainers shops, like Foot Locker etc.
Not seen a dedicated New Balance store though.

Thanks. Hopefully, the Nordstroms will be enough, since they usually carry weird shoe sizes for men and women (my husband wears a size 15 american, my daugther wears a size 11 AAA american)...

It's next to impossible to find them shoes (especially my daughter), even in America.

I just looked up another store I need - for tall men, and one of them looks like it's right near the Florida Mall. So I guess that's one of the places we'll have to put on our list.

Hopefully some of our other musts are also near there.

So here's my list of musts:

Borders and/or Barnes and Noble
Nordstroms
Casual Male (clothes for tall men)
Hot Topics (if they have one in Orlando)
Steve and Barry's (my kids love it)
Jockey (usually the dedicated stores have a better selection- but it's not critical)
Any store that has cargo type trousers long enough for my son (need to be very long, but the tall man shops don't carry skinny enough sizes - catch 22)
Kmart (not a must, but a nice to have for the sake of nostalgia)

kind of a weird list all in all.....

i think i've left a few out....

Beth, I'm sure there is a Hot Topics at the Florida Mall and also B&N and / or Borders. Forget which!

Nordstroms is in the Florida Mall. We bought a pair of Heely trainers from there when everywhere else was sold out, although they were $20 more expensive.

There is also a hot topic in Festival Bay. Also this is where Steve and Barrys is also.

There is a New Balance store on Sandlake Road. Coming down International Drive from Wet and Wild direction turn right at MacDonalds and carry on for about a mile. There is a shopping centre on the left cant remember the name but is quite new and not very large. There is a dedicated NB shop there and they were very helpful and had a large stock of shoes.

that's great! I'll let my fingers do the walking and call them to see if they have large size shoes in stock -- otherwise there's no reason to go there.
But first we'll see how Nordstrom's is. If i can get everything in the fewest number of stops that would be great. We don't really like shopping, and we've never done it in Orlando, but this year is a necessity.
I'm just viewing it as exploring a new frontier for us.

There is also a hot topic in Festival Bay. Also this is where Steve and Barrys is also.:

that's great - my son is a huge Hot Topic fan - he has about 20 of their tshirts already. And both of them go crazy when they're in Steve and Barry's - he bought this leather style baseball jacket last year, that has lasted really well....and he wore it every day in the winter....not bad for $7...(it was on sale from $9).....i can't figure out how they can sell things so cheap...

so I think we'll go to Festival Bay, the Florida Mall, and that fancy one, what's it called? Mall at Millenia.....just for fun....

Hopefully that will take care of everything.

thanks everyone.
