These boots were made for hiking and that's what I'm gonna do :)…read more Thank goodness I saw Gregory at a pop up/event and he actually had my shoe size in a color and style that suits me. I was able to try on the pair, walk around in them, and learn more about their group from him. I really put it to the test today. My new shoes took me over 8,000 steps! This high cut protected my ankles and the wide front made it very comfortable with hiking socks. I really appreciated the sturdy sole because my shoes had fantastic grip on the slopes. At the end of the hike, I was totally safe. No slipping or sliding :) The best part about my purchase, this group plants a tree for every shoe sold! Thanks everyone, I'm loving my new kicks!

The front of the store says CLIMB ALOHA. You are in the right place for Uloha. The entrance looks…read morelike a tiny store, but once you go in, it is a huge store with super tall ceilings. Climbing wall in back to try out climbing shoes. Like most small businesses on the island, they have very knowledgeable staff that help you with aloha. The best place for hiking shoes and climbing gear if you want to avoid the big brand stores at the mall. The gear is priced right and their exchange policy is very reasonable for a small business. You have 30 days and you can get something else. They cannot survive as a business if they allowed refunds because tourists would buy gear, go hike or climb with it during their visit, and returned it afterwards. That would be a rental business! That's not what this store is. Same neighborhood as Hi Climb gym too! So convenient. SHOP SMALL! SUPPORT LOCAL BUSINESSES so they stay in business and the big companies don't have a monopoly limiting the customer's options.

And we have a store here in Hawaii too--located along Ward Ave between Waimanu and Kawaiahao Street with plenty of unshaded parking. The inside is very open, clean, cool, and comfortable. Everything was quite organized and each section was spacious. The first time I came here I couldn't really understand how most of the clothes aren't even for Hawaii weather..... or Hawaii pockets.... unless you travel to many places to do winter sports and activities. Funny enough, I received a gift card for Pantagonia shortly after my first visit. Now that I need to actually buy something. I focused on the casual, running/training, ocean activity areas. Needless to say, everything was quite expensive in my opinion. The quality is there and the clothes do feel similar to other brands. Is it worth THAT much though? My co-worker says this place is like the Lululemon for outdoors. Sounds about right. Overall, this store was really nice, cool, and comfortable. The staff were friendly and helpful. Everything really organized. It's quite niche. I guess if I need some ice climbing gear, I'll know where to go. Eventually I got a pair of shorts. Regular price is $135. Thankful for the gift card cause I'm not on THAT level...yet.

We left with 5 or 6 more shirts from here so to us, it's definitely worth checking out if you're big on location specific stuff.

I've been using the West Marine website to order online and pick up to save time when I get there. Staff is always friendly when I get there, saying "hi, can I help you with anything?" They have a really good selection of general marine parts and some specialty stuff you can order. Many people don't know they have ocean apparel and stand up paddle boarding stuff. Reminds me of Sports Authority of the old days, but for boats. Plenty of parking, just have to drive in a circle, one way in and one way out, from Nimitz/Ala Moana Blvd.
