    Honest information shared by Andrew in the shoe department. I am so grateful for the foot measurement as well the explanation for sizing options in shoes. Great feedback regarding pros and cons on brands based on foot condition and needs. Thank you to Crystal as well for her insights into the footwear options.

    The employees here are SO nice and helpful!! Ashley (I think was her name) got me fitted for a backpack and provided so much helpful information and many tips for my first trip, including a great trek for a beginner. The tall guy with black hair at the register was also very cool and told me about a few more places to try. This is a great store for a beginner to ask questions and get help finding the perfect gear!

    I always have great experiences here, but today especially stood out. Rolland helped me find a great pair of hiking boots! He is extremely knowledgeable, pleasant, funny, and most importantly, made sure I left with the correct boots for me. I learned a lot and can’t recommend his assistance enough. Thank you!

    Fantastic service from Andrew in the hiking shoes department. He was patient and knowledgeable as I tried on several pairs/sizes before I found the ones I wanted.
