The store has a nice selection and because I do not find it one of the busier spots, sometimes you get a better selection. They are having the buy one get one for a loonie sale now.

Upon seeing the Cleve's sign advertising their $1 sale on shoes, I decided to stop in and see what…read moreselection they were carrying. I know that this location is one of the smaller ones and thus does not always have a large selection, however, one never knows. I ended up finding some shoes that I liked, however, I was not wearing socks that day so it was difficult to tell how they actually fit. The employee was not at all helpful other than to tell me that they had a sale on apparel as well so I could buy some socks. I did end up opening a package of socks as I needed shoes but was not wanting to buy them without trying them on properly. I asked if I had to buy two pairs of socks to take advantage on the Buy 1 get the 2nd half off and he said that I could mix it with whatever apparel I wanted. The sign actually advertised that you received the lower priced item at full price and the second at half......I questioned this as it sounded too good to be true and was told by the salesgirl that this was in fact the deal, great! Upon presenting myself at the cash however, this was a whole different deal. When I questioned the ringing up of the items, I was bombarded by three male employees, all very rudely telling me that it was the more expensive one that was full price. When I pointed out the sign, the older man, presumably the manager ( nobody introduced themselves), took the sign down to bring over to the cash and proceeded to tell me in the most rude manner "Feel free to write head office and you can also take a picture of this sign" and then walked away. When I mentioned that the sales girl (who was standing right at the cash as well) had confirmed my understanding of the sign, she simply bowed her head and walked off...... I proceeded to write head office, having to look up their contact information as the cashier would not provide me with anything. I have now re-sent my email three times in two weeks and have yet to receive any response whatsoever. I have NEVER been treated with such disrespect in any store and certainly not by management as I was at Cleve's!! You can be sure that I will NOT ever recommend anyone to this store and nor will I ever be frequenting it again! Save your money and go to Sport Chek at Dartmouth Crossing where they know how to treat their customers!!

For those special people in your life who can't live without all the brand name labels such as…read moreQuicksilver, Roxy, Hurley, Bench and Billabong - the Boathouse is the place to shop. The store has been at Mic Mac for about a year now, and is located on the 2nd floor. They offer a wide assortment of t-shirts, hoodies, jeans and sneakers. Generally speaking, their prices aren't too bad, but still weigh in a bit on the steep side. The customer service team is made up of mostly teenagers (17-19 years old) who genuinely seem to enjoy their jobs and are quite knowledgeable on store products. Overall, a positive experience, and I look forward to shopping there more in the future.

I don't know about this place, it's all far too neon for me…read more I guess this is what is popular now. Skinny jeans, bright colors, silly shirts. If you're into that stuff, then this store is for you, but if you find these things laughable then you're not going to get much out of this place. The girls selection is much better than the guys selection. My girlfriend found some nice stuff here that must have slipped through the cracks (it wasn't blindingly bright and tacky), but I think it was definitely a rare find. My best suggestion for those who are a fan if this style is to check out West 49 a little further down the corridor, or better yet, stop by Pro Skate on Blowers Street in Halifax.

I was looking for a specific type of Blundstones, which I was not able to find in a locally owned shop, they had multiple sizes and types in stock.

I could see it getting crowded quickly. The staff helped us quickly and were very friendly.

Compared to the SoftMoc location in Halifax, this is the more grown-up, spacious sister store that…read moreis much more appealing to visit. Stock is well displayed, and unlike the Halifax store, there are not copious amounts of shoeboxes within the displays or on the floor, which helps elevate the look and feel of the store. Staffing was sparse on my last visit, which was arguably at a lower traffic time. The one clerk was doing a good job of balancing the customers in the store, and helped me find the pair I was looking for. I think that the online store for SoftMoc is a great compliment to the offline stores, because you can check availability online and also order and get in-store pick up. I tend to do my research ahead if I know exactly what I want. SoftMoc carries dependable brands like Hunter, Clarks, Ugg, Keds and many more - good quality, good price.

Or, table tennis balls if you're super classy about your miniature sports. The building looks a bit rundown from the outside but it's nicely done once you get through the main doors. The layout is spread out by sport which makes things easy to find, and while I didn't need any help this time around, most staff seemed pretty enthusiastic when it came to helping other midday shoppers find what they were looking for. The downside? Well, the parking lot is a bit of a minefield. It's a one-way wrap around the building, although plenty of people are oblivious to this fact, and there are gravel sections, potholes galore, and tight squeezes around the staff parking on the far side. Drive carefully!

Quick to strike up a conversation, let you look, suggest some items for what your looking for and show you some things you may be interested in. Bottom line, this place is the place to go. You'd be hard pressed to find a better spot to shop for your martial arts needs!
