The staff are top-notch professionals when it came to the fitting and custom order and I can't recommend them enough based on their knowledge and customer service alone. However, it is their creative and artistic style combined with the quality materials used that ultimately convinced me that I had to have at least one pair, for now...

I recently bought my first set of period style shoes (5 metal button boots)from Nativearth/Native…read moreSole/Olde Sole, at the Arizona Renaissance Festival on President's day (02.15.2016). I was referred to these guys by a couple of friends who had all bought a pair of shoes and said how they great they were. Up to the point I bought my pair I was weighing the pros and cons of this company and Windwalker (another custom shoe vendor at my local faire) and had decided on Nativearth due to my friends great review and that I did not have to wait for custom shoes to be made and shipped to me. With that said, I wore my boots for that entire day and then actually wore them every chance I got for that entire week. 6 days after I bought them I had crouched down on the floor and the ankle height button on my left boot broke. I was very upset but understand sometimes there are faulty material. I say faulty cause I had my boots tied with the lace going over the top and round the bottom of the buttons and the button broke where it was soldered to the ring. I was not able to get back to faire until the following weekend,12 days after I bought them (02.27.2016). When I went in to talk to the clerks I was told I'd have to pay for a replacement button. I was a little upset about this but it was only $6 including tax and the boot was fixed within minutes. For the continuation of this please refer to the screenshot attached

The Nike slides were a good price and COMFY as hell but the more detailed ones were a bit more on pricey side. To be completely transparent, I think you could find the same ones at Target but more of a variety of you're looking for that. I'm not knocking this place at all they are so nice! And it's good if you need a quick stop to slip on some comfy slides.

Like many travelers, we recently stayed in Groveland as a base of operations for our Yosemite…read moreadventures. Winter rains had really done a number on the roads in the greater area, and after several detours on backroads and byways, we found ourselves in sleepy little Groveland. After a couple of days at the park with the wifenkids, we decided to take a day and just mill around the small community of Groveland. A trip to the park, a meal and a couple of beers in what is touted as the oldest bar in California (fodder for another review), and some light window shopping pretty much covered the town. As we got ready to head back to our rented house, we spotted the Helping Hands Thrift Store; never one to pass up the opportunity to thumb through a second hand store, we walked in and were actually pleasantly surprised! A large selection of various clothing, bric-a-brac, novelties, cards, and other assorted stuff was there for the taking, severely marked down to next-to-nothing prices. After scoffing at a $45 Yosemite T-shirt at the park, I found a practically brand new Yosemite T-shirt--in my size-- for 50 cents! How do you not buy a 50 cent t-shirt??? I found three t-shirts in all, including two that were decidedly local and obscure... perfect for wearing to the gym, or to the pier for fishing, I suppose... and walked with all three for under $2. I did pass on the Wham! music video DVD, but I'm sure some lucky 80s junkie will find it and treasure it. Can't imagine when I'll be back to Groveland, but if I am, this thrift shop can COUNT on my business again :)
