They had everything from clogs and Birkenstocks to stylish dressy sandals. I also appreciated that the woman working the counter gave me time and space to peruse everything.

The shoes are pricey but they are on par with the brands and quality that is being offered.

I considered buying a serving bowl for my sister but wasn't sure if she'd use it, and I know my nephew and mom considered buying her some sort of garden item. Staff was friendly and not overbearing. There's a little area where you can buy drinks and maybe some small bites, and they have a nice deck out front to sit and relax. I enjoyed wandering the store and picking up a few things and would recommend them for a stop if you're nearby.

Women have the horrible predicament of choosing whether our shoes can be enviably pretty…read more(Louboutins - I'm talking about you) or wonderfully comfortable. Have a seat - we aren't candy coating anything in this review. Comfortable shoes, even the pretty ones, often edge pretty but never quite make it. That's fine - if you are willing to sacrifice style. A lot of women are not willing to do that. I used to be one of those women. You can easily see the caliber of heels I adore wearing by spying my past photos. Price be damned - if they are designer and force me to teeter on thin stilettos, I have them. Having said that, I have leaned to also counterbalance this footwear torture act with conservative, sensible shoes that aren't plain. Sometimes you have to make tough choices in life. Don't laugh - this is a real thing. I usually get my sensible footwear from Comfortable Shoes in Burlingame or San Carlos. Sure, it isn't as fancy as Neiman Marcus but it does help me get through a day of work. Walking all day when I am on vacation. Not being restricted by what I can do or where I can go because of what I am wearing on my feet. This adorable boutique featured comfort shoes that I wouldn't guess were. They have a lot of stylish offerings that I've never seen in my usual comfy shoe haunts. The service I received was attentive, non-rushed, and really helpful. I love the sandals I bought. I logged my usual 10,000 steps a day when I was in Seattle immediately after buying those sandals because I was unencumbered by stylish heels that aren't meant for city walking. I felt comfortable walking in my sandals. My cute sandals garnered so many compliments. I looked pretty in my sandals whether I wore slacks or dresses. I still met my daily walk goal without blisters or corns. I love this shop. The service is great, my shoes are super cute, and the money was well spent. Go. Browse. Do yourself a favor - have cute comfy shoes that aren't sneakers to ensure you, too, can enjoy looking stylish while enjoying walks. Your body will thank you for it. Walking comfortably is good. I'll be back. I had to decide between 2 different pairs of shoes which one to get. I'm getting the other ones. You love me for it and I love you back.

I thought it'd be tougher to bike around but the trails are super smooth and a calm ride. The bikes were expensive looking and rode well.

Deer, chipmunks, woodpeckers, etc. It was all a short leisurely ride. We'd stop, the boy would look for a few minutes, then off we go. Beyond the rental, while I was in the shop people were coming and going getting things fixed, questions answered, friendly advice on parts, and buying seats or locks. The employees were genuinely nice people and I hope that they continue to be successful.

Shopping here recently was a top notch experience for excellent service from the people who work there and quality brands in a range of styles of shoes, sandals and boots in many sizes, including narrow and wide widths, for women and men. On a busy Wednesday afternoon every customer was promptly greeted and seemed to get the same quality care and attention from the knowledgeable staff who could make recommendations as well as help customers try on their choices from the many casual - comfort brands that included Hoka, Josef Siebel, Born, Taos, Ecco, Keen, SAS (San Antonio Shoemaker), Dansko and others. . When some customers needed a different size or color than what was available in this location's inventory, I could hear the staff offer to have it brought in from the downtown store or arrange for the shoe to be held at the downtown location if trying it there was what the customer wanted to do. My husband and I walked in expecting to spend a few minutes to get my feet measured and see if I could find a pair of shoes and we were both surprised to find such a large, well displayed inventory in the larger than expected light and bright space. We walked out more than an hour later with five pairs of shoes, three mine and two his, that are both comfortable and fun to wear. STELLAR SERVICE: Store manager Stephanie was professional and patient as she assisted me to try on probably a dozen pairs of shoes (in most places I am lucky if I can find one that will work for me) and another woman and a man who were also working on a busy Wednesday afternoon helped my husband. Everyone was knowledgeable about brands, fit and styles to make recommendations for both of us. That is particularly valued by me as I have hard to fit feet and also have had multiple sclerosis since my college years which makes balance and gait a problem so the right shoes are key. This was like shopping in Nordstrom for shoes in the day when I lived near those stores for skilled sales professionals who knew their product lines and understand feet too. This kind of skill and service is how customer loyalty is grown. CONVENIENT PARKING LOT: We lived in Bend for almost 20 years and shopped the downtown Birkenstock store from time to time but popping into this store on a recent visit to Bend was our first time at this location which we chose because downtown parking is miserable and this store location offers a convenient to use parking lot. Next time we are in town we will have shopping at this Eastside location on our "to do" list again. We recommend the store. ACCESSIBILITY: Accessible parking is in the lot right outside the door. All on one floor with ample clear floor space to navigate to displays and seating to try on.

The right boot started falling apart in no time. I returned in the fourth month for them to only tell me that they have fired all their old staff and rehired all new employees and that if they were to even consider swapping my faulty boots out they would need the original recipe from the date of purchase and nothing else would suffice. Bear in mind that these are Cody James boots, a Boot Barn special. Now I am in construction but nothing that would heavily damage my shoes, the last pair I had, of a different better brand, lasted me over two years. I've grown up going here but this is the last time I'll be visiting them for anything.

I am incredibly upset with the lying little you know what - who called herself "Bianca." I wanted my partners money reimbursed to his card for clothing that I received as a bday gift. Upon the request of an employee, I put the receipt on the counter with the items i was to return while i tried on clothes to see about doing an exchange. Nothing really fit me right, and because I didnt have my partners card which he used to make the purchase, "Bianca" couldn't do the return. I asked for my receipt back, and was told it was "lost, but when i came back in with the card they would still honor the reimbursement...they could look up the purchase with the card he used." It was their fault that the receipt was lost. I was skeptical, and asked for her name in case there was a problem... and of course, IT WAS. So when the return was attempted again by my husband, the manager/owner wouldn't honor "Biancas" words. She claimed nobody named bianca worked there, and when she looked up my husbands name in the system the items were never logged with the purchase. For this being our first experience as customers, i am shocked by the lies, and the attitudes. I have half the nerve to go there and wait for "bianca" to show up for her shift so we can have this discussion again, with the right person present. THIS KIND OF CONDUCT CRUMBLES SMALL BUSINESSES!
