The no sales tax plus the fact that some of the shoes were on sale lured me in. I ended up dropping $250, $105 for a pair of cool green distressed Fluevogs, and $150 for a pair of wild ass powder blue MBT's. I also got my sister a little cool hand purse. My friend got a really nice pair of New Zealand Hurraches. I have been wearing the same shoes for years, so now I have some funky new ones.

Village Shoes could have: - paid for the return shipping and sent a replacement pair that matched or - paid for the return shipping and given me a refund or -offered me a partial refund reflecting the fact that they had sent me defective goods but instead they insisted that the mismatched shoes were fine and made me pay for return shipping and then refunded only the cost of the shoes, leaving me without the shoes that I wanted in the first place. The whole ridiculous experience cost everyone involved money and time, and frankly made no sense. Unless they just don't care about keeping customers.

My personal experience with this women's clothing/accessories store was watching Gayle look at and…read moretry on various items that piqued her fancy. And after a short while, I assured her that she should take all the time she wanted and that in the meantime I would wander around downtown. Gayle looks pretty fabulous in most everything she wears, so I wasn't worried about having to validate any of her wise choices. However, she does need to take me shopping, because perhaps on a few levels, I don't have a clue. From my perspective, Earthly Goods is a very attractive store that consists of a main floor and 2 mezzanine areas. There were also a couple of nice "male seats" available along with reading material. Gayle liked the selection, along with many of the styles and how they looked on her. However, she was not quite ready to "pull the trigger" on any of her choices. I have a strong hunch that we'll be back.

Big Mistake. Big. Huge. I have to go shopping now." I also had a two year old in tow. The bathroom policy is the stores, I think, and not the salespersons. I have tried to supporth this local business even though many people I know will not shop there because of the salespeoples snarky and condescending attitudes towards people they think are "tourists". I will not be shopping there anymore. Everything there can be found online. I think many people will follow my lead based on the huge response the post above received on Facebook.

Staff is extremely knowledgable and attentive regarding an individual's particular needs. These guys also live and breathe their sport. Abbey, the Store Pup is also friendly and fun. It starts with an analysis (via a video supported treadmill) of your walking pattern and continues from there with well guided conversations and fittings from there. You do pay a bit more for this kind of attention and service, but it is all a really great value.

I'm not sure when they moved to their 2 level shop on Main street, nor do I remember what was here before. Afterall, Gayle and I have been coming to Ashland every year (except COVID) since 2006. I found a nice short and nice fitting sleeve button down shirt for 40% off and a useful Fjällräven travel pouch. There was more to consider, but that will have to wait for the next trip or closer to a future ski season. Store staff were more than helpful in leading me onward.

The pricing here is honestly ridiculous. This is a thrift store selling used clothing, yet many of…read morethe items are priced at $30 or more--sometimes higher than what similar clothing would cost brand-new at Macy's or another department store. Thrifting is supposed to make secondhand clothing affordable, not charge retail prices for used and donated items.

So I was interested to visit the new 'costume shop' in the Railroad District that opened this summer to see what they had in stock. Renaissance Rose offers a variety of themed costumes you can rent or purchase. They have packaged costumes similar to what you'll find around Halloween at other retailers, but also some more interesting pieces. At this point their website seems to be pretty basic, so hopefully that will expand in the future. After visiting both stores, I think the main location still has the broadest selection of items for purchase. Especially wigs, hosiery and accessories. But, if you are looking for a more unique rental, then the costume shop is worth a visit. I was most interested in the hair pieces near the back of the shop.

They were so bad I took then to Messenger, where I should have gone in the first place. The last time I wanted a simple flat piece of leather with a particular shape, but larger for an ax collar protector. I wasn't going to take a shoe in again, but I figured this was such a simple project, so I took in a pattern and got a quote of $40. It took 2 weeks longer that promised, then charged $50.I reminded him of the quote and he sad "it's $50." Also he put a set of 5 holes, and the pattern has 7. THe larger one probably needed 9 for the same lace spacing. I should have walked, or offet to pay for the material. I was also treated rather rudely.

Three Penny Mercantile was probably the most fun shop we visited throughout our Ashland…read moremini-vacation. From the get-go, the staff were welcoming and friendly, engaging us in conversation about all sorts of nonsense that had nothing to do with the shop, such as roller skates (which one of the ladies was wearing), sci-fi, and life in general. It was a nice personal touch that really endeared us to the store, and stands in stark contrast to the blasé, unaffected state of "customer service" we so often encounter at other shops. Everything in the shop oozed with unique or distinct design, hand-picked by the eye of someone with an eye for flair, flamboyance or fun. Prices were all very reasonable, which came as a surprise in a tourist town like Ashland. While my wife perused the clothing racks, I plumbed the various paperback books on the shelves, picked one out and walked away happy with my choice, for $5 bucks! Not intending to name drop, I asked the attendants if it was OK to take pictures for Yelp, to which they happily agreed, and seemed very thankful. So much so, in fact, that the owner (my guess) told me to pick out another paperback for free! Sometimes, there are perks! My wife also purchased a cute pair of key earrings. Another great perk about the shop was that it stayed open late...like, really late, compared to everything else but the bars. We walked by a few minutes to 11pm and the doors were still open, and music could be heard thumping from within. Had we not been en route to somewhere else, we probably would have popped in again, just to say hey! We'll definitely be making a return stop the next time we are in Ashland, if for no other reason than I'll likely be expected to provide a detailed review of the books I purchased!
