I LOVE Rapid Transit. The store is staffed--on the "shoe side"--by athletes who know what they are…read moretalking about. The Rapid Transit staff gave me fantastic advice on shoes several years ago and I have gratefully stuck with the same brand and model since. So, obviously service is top-notch. I am also happy to share that prices are competitive with--or cheaper than--certain big box sports stores. My shoes were 20% less than the big box retailer's price. Rapid Transit also has a great selection of Penn State gear for Nittany Lion fans. Shop local. Shop quality. Shop Rapid Transit.

Probably closer to four stars, but the guys working here were so nice and helpful that their…read morefriendliness and charm went a long way with me today. We came in looking for deals on some white Penn State gear for next week's white out and was not disappointed in the selection of items available at a very reasonable price. Hats were $28-35 and the hooded sweatshirts were a nice $45. Running shoes (we only checked the prices for comparison) were a little more expensive than the chains, but supporting local businesses could justify the difference in cost. I don't think you'll find Nike and other major brands, but you will find something!

Harpers is a rare gem to have in this area, and we're lucky to have them. The staff are all very fashion-forward, and are all more than capable to send you on your way looking sharper than when you came in. The store itself is very upscale, and feels like a place you'd find on Savile Row (without the Savile Row prices.) Really great seasonal selections, with a lot of well-curated accessories available. Their custom garments are where they really shine however. With hundreds of fabrics, linings, buttons, and styles to choose from, it is always a joy creating something that is uniquely yours. I'm looking forward to my next custom piece.

Unfortunately, the employee had a bad attitude and acted like it was a huge burden to set up the tailoring (and he wasn't even the one doing the alterations!). Not only that, messed up the alteration request completely and I now have an ill-fitting suit and not enough time before our event to have it re-done. Thanks.

They have a great selection of outdoor clothes, packs, camping equipment, and shoes in lots of different styles and colors-- the Cotopaxi gear is especially eye-catching. Both times I've been in the staff has been incredibly helpful. A salesperson helped me pick out a great pair of Salomon hiking boots last year, and a pair of "On"running shoes most recently. The running shoes they carry are mostly for trail running, but an employee helped me find a pair of street running shoes that were just what I was looking for. Plus, they have a bunch of cool outdoor games for sale, like frisbees, cards and hacky sacks. Overall, I look forward to stopping in at AO whenever I need new gear!
