REI in Durham is my go to place for trail running shoes…read more They have great brands like Altra and Saucony to name a few. I've always gotten excellent service while shopping here for running shoes. Maddy has helped me on two different occasions with picking out shoes, she does a phenomenal job at suggesting shoes and giving you time to make decisions and not making you feel rushed. Great value on trail items like backpacks, shoes, socks, bikes/biking gear and other items. Definitely check out REI in Durham *I live in Raleigh but, travel to Durham to go to this REI.

It is high quality and very comfortable which is what REI produces all the the time. My brother loves REI and swears by their product because it has great value for the price and lasts a long time. The service is Ok at REI and the staff are very knowledgeable about the products. They are willing to help you out and answer any questions you may have on their clothes. REI has a wonderful selection of products and is very top notch quality 100% on all of their products. They are a bag free store which is great for the environment. REI is a great store and you get a valuable product for the price you pay for on whatever you purchase at the store. That is all I have to say about REI.

They didn't, but were great in directing me to a shop that was able to fill my needs about 10mins away. They have a HUGE selection of Patagonia goods as well as camping/living essentials like Yeti tumblers. I found the better sweater in the color I'd been eyeing for a while and was able to get it! All the brands that I saw are QUALITY stuff- brands that stand behind their goods when life happens. Lots of great outerwear options whether you're hiking a trail or just down Franklin St. Really great and friendly staff. Will definitely be back to browse more.

We are all entitled to our own opinions, right? Well here's mine:…read more Parking: 5 Location: 5 Decor/ambiance: 5 Customer Service: 5 If you are a runner in the Raleigh Durham area, and you have not made a visit to the Bull city running Company, you are surely missing out. This place has lots of great things that runners need, desire, and dream of having. It's located on the corner of a busy shopping complex so parking can be a challenge at times. There is a lot to see when you first walk in to the store. They have a shoe wall that is full of goodies. The staff is always friendly and ready to assist with any questions, needs, and concerns. The only thing I hate to report is that I feel they are fairly expensive. I understand they're running shoes cost more than average walking shoes but the prices are kind of steep, in my opinion. I find that the price you would pay for something as small as a water bottle jack it could cost you a little over $100. Again I'm sure their prices are probably right in line with the industry but it was a little too much for my budget. When you stop by be sure to visit their community wall. They feature all of the areas races.

We came to Triangle Rock Club Durham for a climb and sign event and had a great time! After filling…read moreout waivers and doing orientation, we climbed for about an hour and a half. The space is large, clean, and has a lot of variety for different levels of climbers. The rental shoes definitely run small. You may need to size up anywhere from half a size to even two sizes bigger. Just something to plan for. It's family friendly, but safety is really important, so make sure kiddos aren't running around since climbers are focused and people are moving around everywhere. I do wish there was a designated section just for beginners and kids. That said, I really appreciated how each color route is clearly labeled (by numbers) from easy to hard. It helps you know what you're getting into before you start. One note: the rocks are tough on nails. Mine aren't even long, but gripping some of the holds was tricky, so keep that in mind if you have longer nails. Overall, a great workout, a safe environment, and a fun way to try something new! We'll definitely be back.

This review is of Hunter - sales guy more so than Tiknors. They actually have some nice clothes…read morebut if you are thinking of shopping here - DO NOT work with Hunter (tall guy, dark hair, beard, & glasses). I purchased a new suit for an upcoming wedding. When I picked the suit up it had 2 chalk marks on the sleeve. I pointed it out and Hunter said he would steam it out. He returned with the suit in a garment bag. When I got home I took it out and there were now 2 black marks where the chalk marks used to be. I returned to the store the next day and showed it to Hunter and he said it would come out once it was drycleaned. Honestly, I was shocked he didn't offer to have it dry cleaned. I just spent $1000 on a suit, shirt, tie, etc and he told me I would need to take it to get it dry cleaned. So before I wear the brand new suit I just purchased from you, that you marked up, I have to pay to have it dry cleaned? He said "yes". I asked to speak to the manager and fortunately the manager had enough customer service acumen to do the right thing and save some future business. So, avoid Hunter at all cost - ask for Ben instead. (I originally worked with Ben but when I returned for the fitting Ben was on vacation and due to the timing of the wedding I coudn't wait for him to return - unfortunate for me). P.S. After the shirt I purchased was tailored one sleeve was longer than the other. I get it - those things happen - but Hunter seemed absolutely lost when it came time to measure the sleeve to be adjusted and stuck a pin in the cuff of the shirt multiple times before he even acknowledged he probably shouldn't be doing that.

One of the owners ended up helping us out and he was fantastic. Great customer service--not pushy, but they definitely know what they're talking about and are very helpful. They also provide free tailoring when you purchase any of their suits. Although I do not wear men's suits myself, I'd highly recommend this business to anyone who is in need of a new suit or men's dress wear. They also sold a selection of shoes and more casual items, so it's worth stopping in regardless of what you're looking for. Be sure to support this great local business!
