    I just wanted to give a shout out to Thomas at this REI location for offering a fantastic customer experience. Thanks Thomas for your friendly service today, answering my questions and sharing your personal experience. Definitely helped me make a decision about a much needed new pair of boots. First time looking for boots in years so I was a little nervous! Thanks again.
