BEST IN CLASS -- WAY BETTER THAN SHOPPING ONLINE For outdoor…read moreand casual clothing -- especially cold weather outdoor clothing -- you cannot beat this place! The store is large, abundantly stocked, and somewhere between neat and immaculate. Comfortably laid out, and easy to touch and try on merchandise, especially boots and shoes without having to have a clerk running back and forth to the back room (this is very important). The prices are generally excellent to exceptional, and lots of high-quality brands. I've occasionally seen retail prices this good (ok, rarely), but never in this combination of large, neat, comfortable store, exceptional prices, and helpful staff. Kind of like REI for apparel, with plenty of overlap, but leans a bit more towards work clothing than hiking/mountaineering/leisure. I can't think of a store of this kind in the entire state that is this good. Worth the drive from far away, especially as the cold weather season approaches. Helps you survive winters up here!

Not a great experience and a very odd one. When we found shoes we wanted and opened the boxes…read morethere would be only one to try on, this was true of all the boxes we opened and some boxes had nothing in them. We then asked one of the sales associates for help finding the mate to the shoe we wanted to buy were told that we would have to scour the store to find it. Yes it is a "warehouse" style store but I did not go in to the store for a treasure hunt, I went in to buy shoes. A real time hoover.

To be clear, this review is for the newer store location on Meadow street, not the mall…read more I had a rough experience during my visit. I think one of the 2 staff members greeted me when I walked in, I wasn't sure but I said hello back. I was fine browsing alone, but not once did they ask if I needed help finding anything. The ENTIRE time I was in there (30-40 minutes), the staff members were talking to one another across the store, complaining openly about their income, about the way the store is run, about other coworkers, about their schedules, about their workload, etc. At one point one of them said something about threatening to "punch an old lady in the head," speaking about who I assumed was a co-worker from this store or another location. It was an energy draining experience. I left without purchasing anything because I couldn't stand to be around the unprofessional chatter anymore. The store itself was clean, spacious, and organized, had a decent selection of shoes, and a cute section for kids with a cartoon playing on TV. It's unfortunate that the customer service was so severely lacking, it really does make a difference in guest experience.

They carry big name brands as well as other assortment of shoes, sandals, boots,dress shoes etc. They also sell various purses and bags. Of course they sell socks as well if you were wondering. Last time I walked in looking for a pair of flats for work and ending up walking out with the flats, a pair of converse and my boots that I just fell in love with! All should of been well over $100 turned in to just a little over $40 because they always have amazing deals! Beats driving to the mall and spending a boat load of money on the exact same pair of shoes.
