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.

They're just messing around with one another. I was waiting in line for a good while. Not too long, about 5 minutes. My problem is, the girl knew I was in line and even looked at me a few times but she continued to ignore me and talk with fellow co workers. It's so awkward, just standing there waiting to be helped. Especially when they know you're there. They obviously don't want your business. When she was ready to help me check out... nose deep in her phone as she walked to the register. Oh haha, and she continued to be on the phone as checking me out. I would understand maybe if she had an emergency? But she obviously didn't. It's very unprofessional. I won't shop at this location again. Go to 5th Avenue or maybe online.

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.

I am in Alaska for vacation and since most of my vacations incorporate some thrifting/antiquing…read moreshopping I decided to Yelp some nearby locations. This store popped up and we decided to stop by. FYI there is a coffee/soda shop next door (another review for that place also done). This store was in a plaza, plenty of parking spots. At first entrance once inside, it looks tiny and the way things are set up, I was thinking that prices were going to be expensive. Don't be fooled, it may look small but there are a lot of great finds. This particular store is focused on women clothing, accessories and some home knick knacks. There is also another FashionPact that is HUGE and has kids and mens clothing, books, home goods, etc... But back to this location...everything is organized by sizes, they are inclusive and also have a plus section. FashionPact has a section by the front door that features items that they have posted on their social media accounts. If you fell in love with the item, you can come into the store and purchase or also they can ship the item to you. Check out their accounts to get details. At first, you think this is like all other thrift stores but two cool things that make their store stand out. They have dynamic pricing. You see the price of the item listed at the top of the tag, then if the item is not sold by the date listed, the price is reduced. If the item is still not sold, then the third price listed is the final purchase price. Such a simple concept, but it made me realize that their purpose is to sell merchandise and leave space available for new donations. Plus, in selling then money could be donated which brings me to the second cool thing about this store. As a buyer, you can pick which local organization gets a percentage of your total purchase. If you donate clothes, you also get to choose. Shopping and choosing where to donate makes you feel good. They have a screen at the top of the register that shows the local organizations, but if you want to know more about the groups, they have an iPad next to the register so you can read more about the groups. They have the organizations divided by categories such as, animals, arts, education, etc. There are so many choices and all groups are local! How awesome is this! If you are not too busy shopping, all throughout the store, you can spot the thank you cards/letters/drawings from these organizations for the donations. I went twice, back to back to this location and got so many good deals. Scratch that, steals. Good clothing and accessories for under $10, but most were under $5. My brag from this store was a Columbia pink fleece zip up jacket with tags for $5, wow!!!!!! The other items that I also purchased were used but in excellent condition or with tags. The sales associate was sorting through donations and when I came back the next day, there was a lot of new items in my size section. SOOOOOOO sad that there is not a store like this in the Bay Area. I did tell them they should open one up and they said that they have friends in SF that have told them the same thing. Sadly, rent would be a killer around here. Staff was so nice. I know this place is not touristy but for sure this is a dream store for any thrift store lover. I joked that I could come to Anchorage with an empty luggage and challenge my self to only use clothes bought from any of the FashionPact locations. If you live in the area, lucky you. Stop and donate or shop, you will be helping the local community.

**July 2024: Saturday Afternoon Visit**…read more I almost don't want to review so that I can keep this gem all to myself; however the mission of this thrift shop is so heart warming that it would be a crime not to share. It's a nice boutique and everything is sorted by garment type and size. There is a fitting room for patrons to try on outfits and good music to keep you in a good mood. Pricing is very fair and there's two prices listed on each tag. After a certain date the price cuts to half. On my visit my mom and I were able to snag a couple of half priced items and two full priced ones, which was still a steal. My coat was $10, blouse $5, and I think my mom got two wrap dresses, and a blazer with everything being under $50. Now if that doesn't make you feel great the proceeds go towards a charity in Alaska and you can pick which one your purchases goes towards. We chose the zoo and hope everyone will go support this little shop when visiting Anchorage.
