Shout out to Wyatt! He is SO knowledgeable and SO helpful. He knew EVERYTHING there is to know about shoes, feet, and recommending the right shoes for your needs. He helped us so much. I'm so excited for my new Chacos slippahs (flip flops) - they have serious arch support! He said they were top rated and I can feel it. I need arch support and my Vionics died way too fast, so looking forward to these. I've had a regular pair of Chacos that I love and lasted for years and never knew they had slip on options. We also got my husband some work shoes which he said feel amazing, both comfortable and affordable. Brooks and Hoka. He spends all day on his feet so needs something that helps his feet and back. Wyatt was wearing the Brooks and said they are his second pair.

The store doesn't have any glamorous displays but it was well organized with great brands like Toad & Co, Darn Tough, Prana, Camelback, etc. I enjoyed looking around while my husband picked out a new pair of Smith sunglasses. The store has gear for men, women and kids. The store is located in historic Durango so that means parking is mostly limited to street parking. We were in town on a busy Saturday so we ended up parking quite far away but it was worth it.

Was night but I made sure to walk back this morning to see the store when it was open. Still gearing up for the season. Switching from skateboards to snowboards but this place was RAD. 10/10/16 Skateboard wise: Great gear selection. Few decks. Mostly trucks and wheels. I probably missed a good portion of the summer shop though. Sounded from the owner like they swap a ton of displays out entirely. Summer/Winter but still it was more impressive than most. Snowboard wise: Best store I've seen. Travel weekly for work and between moving to CO 2015 to now this is the most impressive store. Staff was friendly. They can do tune ups in house, some serious repairs too it seemed. Waxes. Detuning, all the basics. Googles, gloves, boots, bindings, jackets, pants, roller bags, board sleeves, stomp pads, and a wide selection of boards. All styles and sizes, more even than my recent trip to Christy Sports for a cheap 2016 four pack. And they are still swapping over and getting rid of last season things for new gear this season. Throw your money at this store! Next time I'm in town I'm buying a large gear bag. Looking forward to riding Purgatory and having all my boarding needs handled at the haus!

We showed up there last week with my son's brand new board which was very damaged (the tip was flayed open) and John (?) -- artiste extraordinaire -- did an amazing job for a reasonable price. We drive up from Chandler Az 3 times a year to ski at Purgatory (well my son went to the dark side and snowboards) and it occurred to us to bring the broken board with us (damaged at Flagstaff). So glad we did. Thanks John what you do really is ART. ps- i tried to post pictures before and after twice but yelp was not having it. sorry -- it sure turned out beautiful though.

If you're not happy with the price you can go do the curating work yourselves. We stopped by here on our SW CO road trip were bummed to find the store is closed on Sunday. We saw a beautiful vintage ski boot bag in the window and thought it was worth a try to IG message them to see if they were in town. Surprisingly the owner replied back super fast and said she'd meet me in 10 minutes! The owners were on their way out to grand junction to pick up goodies for their store and were happy to turn around to let us in. We shopped around really quickly and ended up only grabbing the ski boot bag. Here's the thing I think they do a beautiful job curating and shopping for her store products. They have a theme and quality that they look for and it's very clear. She shared that they often drive all around the state, four corners area, and Wyoming to estate sales to get these items. She was even able to tell me where she found the bag! That is why you pay a "higher" price for her store. Our bag was $45 and for something so unique I think it was fairly priced. Love love this store. I'll definitely be back each time when we are in Durango. What a sweet couple!

I went and spent the morning catching fish all morning. The problem was, they were all between 4-6". I'm not suggesting that some were small, I am saying every single fish was that size. To be honest, I did not know that anyone fished for fish that small on purpose. Why would you?? My guide was incredibly friendly and very knowledgable so I am a little surprised about the outing. I know a half-day trip limits locations but this was incredibly disappointing. It was a lot of money for the outing and to say I have buyer's remorse would be an understatement. So if you book and they tell you they want to take you out to the La Plata River, please insist on a different location.

I know its silly to leave a big city like SF and try to find a decent pair of running shoes in a…read morevery small town in Colorado, but I did and they are way better than decent. The place is no longer called Your Running Store though, its Running and Tennis, though I totally ignored the tennis but do remember something about them saying they restring or whatever you do for tennis racquets. But on to the running part... They have a treadmill with a little video camera and they will "analyze" your stride, its all very scientific. I found out I over pronate. It felt like such a great new identity, "hello I am kierstan, overpronator." Then the guy, who can only be identified as "clerk 1" from the receipt looked at my stride and took into consideration my many qualifications I have regarding running shoes, flexible, not to heavy, not boxy...he even helped me figure out I have been wearing shoes that were too small for me and found the perfect pair! Thank you Clerk 1. I would suggest bringing your own sneakers to run, or at least wearing shorts. I had on a skirt and he gave me these red and yellow super hero type shoes that looked really silly. Or actually forget the shoes, just bring a cape and you will look alright. Oh and if you are trying to find it, they changed their address. They are now off the main street behind Durango Coffee Company. I walked to the old address to discover a hair salon that didn't sell any shoes. They almost lost a star for that. But Clerk 1's hair was all sexily disheveled that he earned it right back. I totally heart the Running and Tennis store...now I am off to try out these shoes.
