    I called for an exhange, what a joy to talk to a competent person! Then in the store, the cashiers were so helpful, such a positive vibe! If I was looking for a job, I would want to work there, haha! Can't recommend it enough!

    I had an awesome time here with my grandpa! Sam helped me with all the questions I had and helped me get fitted for a pack! All the staff were friendly and the store looked great. - Austin and Carlos (The Way Of Things)

    I can’t thank the staff here enough. On a day and year that’s had some really tough moments, I was shocked a few times with how kind they were. Thank you all so much!!!

    I had the absolute best experience trying on shoes with Nace. He helped me pick out the perfect pair of hiking boots and went above and beyond in customer service! The store is very organized and clean and had everything I wanted. I definitely know who to visit to buy shoes from now! I will 100% revisit because of Nace. I love my new Asolo Fugitive GTX boots!
