My first visit here was fantastic. I've been buying online over the past year and ignorant of the…read morefact that the size I was ordering was too small to give me a comfortable fit and support. After my session with Cory I was amazed. He understands the value of a proper fit and how to get it. He has a background in orthopedics having worked with the VA in Minneapolis/ St Paul and understands the challenges of the diabetic who has fallen arches. He measures your foot in more ways than simply heel to toe and informed me that there are more than just one arch in your feet. I liked his easy manner and the pride he felt concerning his three boys but what I liked best about him was his ability to process my needs and let me decide what was best. The manner in which they sell shoes is a time honored tradition in the shoe industry and one I had been missing for many years. Coming from Lynn, MA, once the shoe manufacturer of the world, cobblers and shoe stores were many throughout the City. It's a shame most people don't see such value in those traditions. I left with a great fitting pair of Hokas, a brand I was totally unfamiliar with but I noticed Cory was wearing as well. I also selected a better fitting pair of Birkenstock sandals to replace some old friends I had at home. Yes, prices are high, but considering what you're investing, your health, balance, and posture, is worth the money. I'll be coming back to Shoe Mill.

My experience shopping at Shoe Mill was awesome. The person that helped me was patient and answered…read moreall my questions with a smile. He was also knowledgeable. I wanted to try many different size, colors, and models, and he was pleasant throughout. He even told me where to go to find a different brand. Of course, I didn't because I wanted to buy the best shoe brand which is HOKA. I ended up not buying anything from the store because they did not have the color I wanted. He never stopped being pleasant. Melanie T ended up buying something. I was happy that she did. I did not want all his efforts to not lead to a sale. Shoe Mill will be my first stop next time I am buying shoes...

Found way too many shoes that I like here! Came for sandals and left with tan boots - on sale and…read morecouldn't resist the price - and sneakers that work like shoes since they had mixed fabric and leather and colors of tan, gold and leopard. So cute and fashionable, can wear with track pants, jeans or a dress. Definitely a score! The store is large and rows and rows of sneakers, shoes, sandals, boots of every designer and style. It can be overwhelming especially when you need to try on a different size and can't find your way back to the right aisle. Some sections are marked, but others, like sketchers, are located in several different places. They carry all the usual suspects - Sketchers, Nike, Reebok, New Balance, Birkenstock, Fry, Uggs, Ryka, Clarks, White Mountain, Puma, Adidas and more. Prices are good, but I always do a search online to make sure it's the best price available. Many times it is, but sometimes the same shoe can be bought online for less so if it fits and I like it, I order it online. I come to the physical store because I need to try on shoes. I need arch support and a wide toe bed so I can't take a chance of buying shoes or sandals without testing them out. Famous Footware also sells online and since I loved the sneakers so much, and knew they fit well after wearing a few weeks, I bought another pair online in white and silver. If you sign up for their rewards program, they ship to your house for free and you can return at the store for free if it doesn't work out. There were a few people working but they don't offer help. Assuming it's because their business model is more of a do it yourself model . They put all the shoes and sizes out in the floor and you find and try on what you like. It got tiring because I tried on so many and was conscientious and pout everything back that didn't work out.

Nordstrom's always has a great selection of shoes ranging from high end designer to mid level brands. Unlike other department stores, Nordstrom's has a decent selection of brands that carry orthotic shoes (Vionic) or have arch support (Birkenstock, Munro, Naturalizer) which I require, so when they are offered at their rack for a significant discount, I grab them. The racks often get shoes leftover from other seasons so all sizes aren't always available. But they have enough of a selection that I typically find something plus the sales staff will check online and call other stores. This may be a discount store but they still provide Nordstom's high level of customer service. Most important, the store is well organized, lots of room between aisles and plenty of places to sit and try on shoes. Definitely worth popping in if you are at the Columbia Gorge Outlet Mall or passing through Troutdale.

I went in to pick up…read morea new pair of shoes for my son and was immediately welcomed by friendly staff at the entrance. That first impression really set the tone for the rest of our visit. When we made our way to the shoe department, the associates there were attentive, knowledgeable, and genuinely eager to help. They answered our questions, helped us find the right size, and made the whole process smooth and stress-free. It's refreshing to shop somewhere that values customer service and actually takes the time to acknowledge you. Of course, I couldn't leave without finding something for myself! I ended up grabbing a pair of Nike slides, and they've turned out to be one of my favorite purchases lately. They're unbelievably comfortable -- basically like wearing slippers -- and I find myself reaching for them every single day. Overall, it was an easy, enjoyable shopping trip, and I'll definitely be heading back to Dick's the next time we're in the market for shoes.

Unfortunately they had very little selection by way of cardio machines, which is disappointing. With so many options online, you would think they'd have at least a few floor models of each to try out. It feels like Dick's is less sporting goods and more apparel at this point since that's probably 75% of the floor space. If you are looking for sporting goods I'd recommend visiting different stores in the metro. If you want sporting apparel, Dick's is a great place to check out. The cashier was very friendly when ringing up the one small thing we did buy.

This seems to be the case with many stores at the Columbia Gorge Outlets, they are not true outlets with discounted prices. Because I require shoes with lots of support, I don't often have luck with the shoes they carry but for those without foot issues, there is a large variety of brands and styles to satisfy most.

At the time of writing this review, the Yelp listing for "Columbia Gorge Outlets by Simon Property…read moreGroup" was closed (I believe somewhat recently). "Yelpers report this location has closed." However, that's not true because we just shopped here. I submitted edits to Yelp to remove "by Simon Property Group" from the business name and reopen the listing. Hopefully, by the time you read this, the listing will be open again. According to a January 25, 2016 article by Chain Store Age, Simon Property Group sold "Columbia Gorge Premium Outlets" to New York-based Time Equities Inc. (TEI) for $28,425,000: https://chainstoreage.com/real-estate/time-equities-acquires-columbia-gorge-premium-outlets-000 Currently, Columbia Gorge Outlets is managed by Norris & Stevens. According to TEI, the 164,236-sf outlet mall "is 87% leased to 37 tenants. All the tenants are national retailers." https://timeequities.com/properties/columbia-gorge-outlets Our group of eight visited Portland for vacation. We stayed in the city and took a day trip to hike in the nearby Columbia River Gorge National Scenic Area. We stopped by this outlet mall to pick up some items for hiking. For example, someone bought a shirt from the Columbia Factory Store and another person got shoes (sneakers) from Famous Footwear Outlet. This outlet mall is conveniently located right off I-84 exit 17 (Marine Drive / 257th Avenue) in Troutdale, Oregon. Troutdale is a suburb of Portland. The two cities are about 16 miles apart and both are located in Multnomah County. The outlet mall is about halfway between Portland and where we hiked (Wahkeena Falls). Great location for what we needed. Columbia Gorge Outlets is one of the smaller outlet malls I've visited. The size and look of it is more akin to a typical American suburban shopping center than a sprawling outlet mall. In terms of appearance and amenities, it was pretty standard. Before heading out, a few of us used the restrooms by the mall's offices on the south side of the property. Overall, the property was clean and expectedly peaceful and quiet during our visit on a Friday morning around 10:38am.

This is nothing like going to a local feed store or shoe store to find hats and shoes and jeans. They have so much more, the boot selection is even better than what I've seen in Nevada casinos and large western shops. In other states. I was extremely impressed with the accessories for hats, necklaces earrings clothing options are also impressive. The staff was very nice. Nobody swarmed us or bugged us to make a sale. They were very hands-off until you asked a question. Then they were polite and helpful. The prices were better than expected. Everything is so expensive anymore. It's a little scary to look at Price tags. I was able to get two hat, bands, a new hat, a brand new Levi sleeveless shirt for my husband's birthday All for 100 bucks incredibly good price considering what we got. I've heard from a few friends that the other locations are equally well stocked. Definitely will be going back here. The only place that has more stuff than this is the triple agent In Salem, Oregon so that's really saying something if you know you know.

Boot Barn is a really cool place! I went in to find a pair of boots, and never having been to Boot…read moreBarn before, was honestly overwhelmed by the huge selection. The front of the store has the conventional "cowboy" boots and hats, ranging in price from "oh, that seems reasonable" to "WOW! I never realized that these were so expensive!". The back of the store has a huge selection of fashionable work footwear, and the middle of the store has many racks of apparel. Boots are arranged by size (just as shoes in a shoe store are), but the signage was easy for me to overlook. After spending a lot of time generally feeling lost, the only on-duty employee came over and provided a HUGE amount of help. She spent a lot of time bringing me boots of various styles and price ranges, various insoles to try them with, and explained to me that they could stretch three different areas of the boots if a liked pair needed a bit of adjustment. I ultimately selected a really nice pair that carried a high price tag, but this truly seems like a one-time investment, so I didn't mind this. I'm really impressed with Boot Barn, and highly recommend it if you're looking for Western wear or Western work shoes or boots. Don't let the toppled wooden horse in the parking lot dissuade you.
