Midwest Mountaineering can set you up in wool with a "hiking Patagonia" look, but only Sun and Slope can get you the same fabrics, ready to wear in the streets of Paris. If you're lucky enough to visit often, you might even be able to build yourself an "I get cold easily" date-night outfit or two off the clearance racks (they're generous about leaving items there long enough to find a good home at a more affordable price--$40-$100 instead of $80-$300). I highly recommend this store to anyone in the market for fashionable performance wear -- there's nowhere else quite like it in the area that I'm aware of.

When I first started in a retail career, I learned early on not to judge a book by its cover (just…read morebecause someone doesn't go shoppingin designer clothes doesn't mean they don't have money to spend). Well, the women working the day I went in were definitely not living by that philosophy. All I can say is that I witnessed the poorest customer service I've ever seen. I was made to feel that I had no right to shop in this store, and was given the "once over" when I walked in. I asked to see a bag behind the counter and when I asked questions about it, the woman working there pretty much ignored me.

The only time they were nice to us is when I decided to purchase something. We had asked to share a dressing room and the lady practically yelled at us. There were other people in the store that were older than us and they acted politely towards them. We wanted to speak up but did not have the confidence to a the time. Anytime we were looking through a rack they gave glared at us from across the room. Do not recommend going to fashion avenue if you do not want to feel less then welcome in their store.

When the Brave like Gabe shoes came out, I knew they were going to fly off the shelves and I messaged 3 running stores seeing if they had them on Instagram and The Lakes responded so fast and was able to put the shoes on hold for me (the other stores didn't respond for 1 day and 1 week!).

I've worn my favorite pair of J&M wingtips for 3 years, and they truly get better with age. Undoubtedly, J&M comfort surpasses Allen Edmonds. I didn't buy a pair of shoes today, but the staff was able to shine my current pair while I explored their shirts. I must say, their shirts are extremely underrated. If you are looking for a more traditional fit and a fabric that feels amazing- PULL THE TRIGGER!. Their shirts are more casual but made of the finest quality. If you are looking for a more fitted look, just size down! I'll be buying more shirts!
