Whoa! It was a jackpot shoe shopping day. Went to the Bargain side first. Found the perfect pair of…read moresnow boots -- soft, black, zippered, even light Doc Martens. Considerably reduced of course. Perfect fit, too. Then on to the regular shoe store. Had resigned myself to purchasing two pairs of full priced Haflingers. (They are the only sturdy, comfortable shoes that fit at the moment due to a medical situation.) BUT -- two different kinds of Haflingers were also being phased out. Yes! Add those, too. Then found a pair of reduced, winter type (lined) clogs with a back strap. They were even Uggs! Ok! Also added four cans of suede / nubuck water protectant spray. (Cashier was so impressed with the final tally, they gave me two of the cans without charging. Well! Thank you.) As the cashier on the discount side said, she worked at the store and appreciated it so much because the store was "old-fashioned". I knew what she meant. And agreed. I drive to this store regularly from Rockford, IL. Can't remember when I last purchased shoes anywhere else. Can't be beat. One of a kind.

This is more of a review of Marmot than of Fontana Sports. I bought my first Marmot down jacket…read morehere, and it lasted almost twenty years before the zipper broke. It kept me so warm and toasty in the brutal upper Midwest winters. I discovered the Marmot brand here in the 1990s. Back in the 1990s, Patagonia was not considered as "technical" and as bougie as Marmot and The North Face. Arcteryx either didn't exist or was an obscure brand almost thirty years ago. Now, Patagonia and Arcteryx are off-the-charts insanely priced. Marmot and The North Face are considered "value" brands. In any case, I still buy Marmot; it's better quality and far better value than Patagonia because: 1. Higher down fill power and 2. Higher down fill weight I recently bought a 700-fill down parka from Marmot with 220 grams of down for far less money than a 600-fill down parka with 150 grams of down from Patagonia. I was cold in the Patagonia parka, and it was horribly expensive. I had to return. I also bought coats from Eddie Bauer and from L.L. Bean. Nowhere nearly as warm as Marmot. The Marmot down parka that I recently bought is called the Montreaux Coat, and I've yet to find a warmer coat at such a great price point. It hits my knee, although it's supposed to hit my calf, so that's a bit misleading on their website. It's closer to parka length than coat length. I like that when the zipper broke after almost twenty years of owning my first Marmot down jacket, I called Marmot's Customer Service, they sent me a shipping label, and they said that they would gladly repair the zipper for me, for free. When they couldn't repair the zipper, they just sent me a new Marmot down jacket. So, I wore that complimentary replacement jacket for another ten years before finally buying the Montreaux coat this year almost thirty years after buying my first Marmot down jacket from Fontana Sports.

I'm not a snooty like other Capitol living folks that feel like Middleton is on the other side of creation - nope... I simply make a day of it. If we're going East - everything that can't be done west must be completed during this day trip. If we're going west (and since I no longer live on the westside) then we must fulfill our westside obligations in one trip. Honey Bunny gas is high and I'm pushing a real engine~ But when it's time for Middleton... I wonder should we go on to Baraboo then Minneapolis then reality hits and it's like ahhh.. Ruth Chris. Let's Go!! Back to this scheduled review: I can't put my finger on the differences yet but will update as soon as I get it figured out but again... It's on the eastside. The place is new so service, product selection, courtesies are stellar for now. Will write more later. Once it's a little older then compare.
