Especially for goalie gear, this is one of the best stores as the goalie specialists are very knowledgeable about proper fitting and models, and are also fun to chat with. Although the prices for the gear are the same as all other hockey/goalie stores, they do have a very wide selection and also some used gear if you're looking to buy discounted equipment for a lot less and don't mind if it's been used a little.

ORIGIN: Alaska Company opened August 2024 by Julie Hunt, a…read morelocal resident and salon owner who lived in Alaska as a child. LOCATION: The shop is located in an independent cement block building along Southbury's main thoroughfare. CONCEPT: The owner is apparently looking to bring spirit of Alaska, her childhood home, to Connecticut, her current home. There are a few items from Alaska, many more referencing Alaska or perceived as representing Alaska (such as love of coffee and fishing). SELECTION: As I walked around the shop I was mentally trying to make sense of the concept, as with each turn around a shelf there was a new collection of items on display. Among the collections I saw, there were a variety of seeds, dog collars, coffee mugs, tee shirts, fishing lures, and coffee. I left with the notion that the shop might fill a gap in Southbury by being a destination for men to shop for outdoor items and gifts.

There also seems to be a lot of employees who work there, although none of them have ever spoken to me except the one girl at the checkout counter who shrieked "next" when I was waiting to pay. Although she was kind of shouting in general so maybe it wasn't directly at me. She was able to look at her phone while checking me out but she removed all the security tags so that is a win. I've never had to wait too long in line to get checked out so really can't complain. For clothing, I have to say this Dick's is great although for service it's not terrific so I figure that equals a three star rating.

They are very reasonable and also have the best pet section! Tons of reasonable toys and supplies for your fur baby.

I've tried that Dr. Scholl machine at Walmart which tells you which insole you should get. They worked for a while, went to sketchers by Walmart and got their arch fit shoes. I hated them. Returned them the next day. I went to the podiatrist who recommend me grabbing a better quality shoe such as Brooks, New Balance or Ascis. He told me to get the Superfeet green insole and also recommended me to this shoe store in Bethel. As soon as I left that office I drove right to this store. I was greeted by Leah, she was fantastic. She sat me down, asked what I do for work, what am I looking for in a shoe. She measured for my shoe size and got at least 3-4 pairs to try on. All brands the doctor recommended. She had me try on each pair and had me walk back and forth, making sure my posture was in proper form, and to ensure my balance in the shoes were good. Unfortunately they did not have the Superfeet Green insole in my size (popular item). Leah had recommended alternative brands of insole, which I did try but I wanted to stick with the doctor recommendation, she was extremely respectful of that, even agreed stick with the doctors recommendation. She did not try to push anything on me, so I ordered a pair on Amazon. I ended up buying two pairs of shoes from the store. Brooks and Ascis and I love them. Very comfortable. I was extremely pleased with my experience at this store. Without a doubt I will be returning in the future.
