I was told by my coworkers I should try the trendy Hoka since I'm on my feet for 13 hours. I have bilateral deformities in my feet and finding shoes that don't cause blisters in these areas is very challenging. For $160, I was optimistic.... but after one day if wearing my feet were in agony. I put them back in the box with a plan to return in my next free day. In the interim I lost the receipt. Thankfully since they have a record if all my purchases, I was able to get a full refund without any problems.

When I first started running in 2018, I went to Skinny Raven and had an excellent experience. They…read morewatched me on a treadmill, evaluated my feet, determined whether I needed inserts, and helped me find my first pair of Altras. I couldn't have been happier. Fast forward to fall 2026. I'm retired now and no longer run, but after more than 300 miles of running and walking, my Altras were worn out. I wanted another pair for walking and hiking because I love the zero-drop design and wide toe box. I explained exactly what I was looking for, but the employee helping me abruptly told me these were running shoes and essentially couldn't help me because I wasn't a runner. The interaction left me feeling dismissed. I ended up ordering two pairs of Altras online instead, and they've now carried me for more than 500 miles of walking and hiking. It's disappointing because my first experience at Skinny Raven was outstanding. I wish the same level of service had been extended to someone who simply wanted quality running shoes for walking.

Das Geschäft ist gross und die Lage in der Innenstadt von Anchorage ist super praktisch, direkt an der Ecke H Street und W 8th Avenue. Bei meinem letzten Besuch habe ich mein Rennpaket abgeholt und der Vorgang war so einfach und schnell! Das Personal ist unglaublich freundlich und kompetent. Sie nehmen sich die Zeit, Dir tolle Optionen und Ratschläge zu geben, was das Einkaufserlebnis viel besser macht. Das Geschäft selbst ist immer sauber und gut organisiert und bietet eine fantastische Auswahl an Laufschuhen, Kleidung und Accessoires. Es ist ein grossartiger Ort, um alles zu finden, was Du brauchst. Werde bestimmt wieder vorbeigehen!

Their space is clean with wood floors. There seemed to be just as much clothing items as there were footwear. Since a few employees were present, we were assisted immediately. Our worker seemed new, but efficient and eager to please. We came to find a comfortable walking shoe for my dad and luckily found something in the Hoka brand that we hoped would work. The Alaska Walking Store does not give cash refunds FYI. Most shoes are at least $99, so take your time. Luckily, you ARE able to make exchanges at any of their locations (2, currently).

Waited too long at register for help...had to go looking for someone to sell us the shoes. Then when I went to swipe my card the clerk started pounding on the register and voided the sale. She said there was a problem with the register and moved us to the next one. This time when I swiped my card the charge went through to my bank (I have texting alerts with my bank). Then that register "voided the sale", but it didn't void the charges. She moved us back to the first register and tried it again but wanted me to run my card again, explaining that it really hadn't charged me yet. Third try and register still not working. they charged me for shoes I was told I couldn't take home. I took photos of the voided transactions and called customer service the next day. Supposedly the charge would "fall off in 5 days". That was 10 days ago, it never fell off, I was never given a credit for my payment and my only recourse apparently is to contest it with my bank. I used to like this store but their customer service was terrible, they never made it right, and to get the boots and shoes for my son and granddaughter I had to pay for it again full price with no credit for my previous payment. I will never shop here again unless they step up and make this right. **Update** within 24hrs after I posted my original review I was contacted by someone from in the company who apologized profusely my terrible experience in the store. However so had to go over it yet again so they could look into it. A couple weeks later I received an email apologizing again and told me I should receive my refund within 3-5 weeks (!!!) I just received it on Monday, the day yesterday. Length of time to resolve: 46 days.

Although he's got a decent amount of inventory on-site, he is also open to requests. My spouse wanted a specific Yeezy color-way in a highly sought after size. The owner had them available for my spouse to purchase in a reasonable amount of time. Northwest's kicks are certified authentic and cheaper than StockX. Having dealt with Cache Alaska (Northwests' only competitor) on two different occasions, Northwest definitely provides a personal shopping experience in comparison. This business is needed and we will continue to support it. Highly recommend.
