  I Went in tonight to spend several hundred dollars on new hiking appreal, shoes, and socks. The female sales associate who I had to track down, was perfectly useless. I described the look I was going for (leggings and layers) and she was unenthusiastic and lazy about helping me find anything. After finding a waffle quarter zip long-sleeve in a pretty color on my own, I asked her for help with shoes. She referred me to the stores "hiking shoe expert". This guy preceded to tell me I was a size 10 to 10.5. I literally laughed out loud. I probably buy a new pair of shoes every one to two months and have never worn anything beyond a size 8. He then looked me in the eye and said "well, as we age are feet expand".. As if I was supposed to believe my foot grew two and half sizes since I entered my mid thirties. So patronizing and rude. He then proceeded to bring out size 10 and 10.5 shoes that were clown shoes on me and I demonstrated I could fit my whole fist in the back. He then said if I get anything snugger than that I would get blisters. Um.. no, wearing a shoe 2.5 sizes too big is what will rub and give you blisters. We then went through the same process with sizes 9.5 and 9. Still to big. He eventually brought out some sizes in the original size I requested, and what do you know? Size 8 was a perfect fit. Plot twist though, the store has nothing in my size of the styles I originally requested. So, it is likely he knew that from the beginning and was just trying to convince me to buy a size that is completely inappropriate to make a sale, not because my feet have exploded in size in recent months due to my old age. The whole experience was a disaster. I ended up buying the socks, since I tried on the shoes with them and the half zip because I liked the color, but could have done without any sales associate assistance. Bought a pair of Salomons off Amazon which is what I should have done in the first place. It's such a shame sales people offer nothing to the shopping experience anymore besides negativity and lazinesss.

  Had a blast in the store. So many cool things to look at. Different attire and accessories definitely can make you lost in there. Overall, it's a great time. Employees are super nice and helpful. Would definitely recommend
