You guys, this place it awesome- it`s really an outlet. And…read morefor Zürich prices, this is as cheap as it gets! They have new and gently used gear, clothes, and shoes- for Christmas or every day, this is the store to choose! I got new hiking boots for only 59 Franks, elsewhere was at least 200, for that I`m giving thanks! The snowshoe selection downstairs had new and slightly used, but not enough sizes from which I could choose. But I`ll totally come back, for warm or active wear, it`s just the coolest store with prices beyond compare!

The sales person who as I see now is the business owner and manager was taking away the boots before I was able to choose, without asking at all. When I asked not to take away, he said that he did not want to rent to me at all. The explanation was "I don't have a good feeling". I left of course and have never experienced anything like this in terms of service in my life. No matter what selection is there, I would not recommend to support a business that does not care about having happy customers. And it comes from the owner!
