Great shop right on Hwy 4, in the middle of Arnold. They open at 8, and Bear Valley opens at 9…read more So get there at opening, and drive the 30 minutes. You can be first in line when the lifts open! There were several families there, but service was fast and efficient, and we were on our way in no time. The equipment was in decent shape. They have full Rossi rental packages. The boots were comfortable if not a little basic. The skis were in good condition. Everything looked fairly new. The poles were a little cheap, but who cares--they're just sticks right? We also got a demo package. Nicer Rossi boots plus Atomic skis. The previous week I tried the premium Rossi skis somewhere else, but these Atomics were hot. After I returned them, he offered to sell me a new pair that were on sale. Not this time, but I was tempted. The staff was friendly and knowledgable, without being overbearing or know it all. The were fast too. They sped us through our paperwork, we paid up front, and returned our stuff by 5:30 day of. Great experience overall!

I learn faster with practical applications and tutors. Tutors with hooters is even more fun. Hahahaha. I got some snowboard socks which go above the calf which I love and got a rain jacket windbreaker and sweatpants today. The jacket reminds me of my Annapolis Maryland home since it is the sailing capital of the world and the Naval Academy is there. Looks like a good jacket for sailing on cool days. Thanks for your quality gear and clothes and I'm looking forward to hanging out with everyone soon; whenever you ask me out on a date.

Do yourself a favor and go see Eric at Earth and Ocean before buying something online that looks…read moregreat in advertisements and reviews, but doesn't work for you... And save yourself some money and frustration. The owner, Eric, is legit. He had the gear I needed for a guy my size: 170 ultra wide snowboard, size 15 boots and XL rear entry bindings (can be hard to find even online), and he beat the online price. However, after trying on the size 15 boots I thought I wanted (based on advertisements and reviews), I found the boots to be uncomfortable. Eric pulled out another model boot, but in size 14, and they were way more comfortable. They also fit in the rear entry bindings a lot better. Had I bought the gear I initially wanted online, I would have been stuck with boots that did not fit my foot right, and did not fit my bindings. Then I would have been stuck dealing with the return process, just to take another stab in the dark to try to find boots that would "hopefully" fit me and my bindings. After picking out my gear, Eric lined me up with the board and mounted my bindings based on my size and stance. He then heat fitted my boots. This was all done at no extra charge as it was included with the purchase. On a personal note, I enjoyed being in the shop. Eric spoke to me like we were old friends. He didn't rush me at all, and I was in there for a few hours while we picked out gear, mounted the bindings, heat fitted the boots and spent a lot of time just BS'ing. "Ma and Pop" shops are a dying breed, and so is the customer service that goes along with them. Don't be just another number to a billionaire dot-com that just wants your money and doesn't give a $&!@ about how your gear works for you. Go see people like Eric, who are the real deal, and love what they do. It was truly an enjoyable experience!

My friends & I recently took a visit to the quaint town of Sonora & shopped at a few stores on the…read moremain street. We were thrilled to pop into Heel to Toe Boutique not only for the exquisite clothing they feature, but, the outstanding customer service provided by Debra. She is such an exceptional, kind, caring & knowledgeable member of the boutique and with all heart!! My friends & I left the store with beautiful UGG slippers and with the feeling as though we gained a new friend in Debra. It is because of her superior customer service that we will definitely be visiting the town/store again.

You're always warmly greeted when you enter, are left to browse at your leisure and graciously helped when needed. Often, Nikki, the owner is there and is very friendly and helpful in putting outfits together and giving opinions while you're trying on clothing. I love that they offer manicures & pedicures and would love to have one next time I'm in the area (I'll update if I do). It's best to make an appointment, but if they have time, they'll accept walk-ins. They have 2 plush pedicure chairs. There is also an aesthetician who does facials & waxing by appointment.

I popped in Sac a Main Handbags to check out what offerings they had. Unfortunately, there was nothing that I took a fancy to. I prefer designer bags like Kate Spade. Alas, Kate was not to be found here. Many people do like this store though. It won an award for being a favorite store in Calaveras County. Good for them! Even though I didn't find anything that fit my style or taste, they did have quite a selection of bags to choose from. Which is what one wants from a store, isn't it?

They have shifted to more fast fashion for lower price point options as I am shifting to sustainable slow fashion which has made it harder for me to shop there but I still feel they bring in products that end up being in my core rotation. But after a couple of trips with a friend there who asked, 'why do you go back when they treat you like that? I realized it's never been a comfortable experience to shop there. I am not the picture of a customer I see them treat with esteem and care--I like clothes and fashion in general but seem to always end up being half my Florida beach roots in the end and am not polished or 'on point' in my look. My friend pointed out how women who were that look were treated compared to me. Twice. She was right and I had always felt that way there but I thought that wasn't really my problem and who cares? But it stuck in my craw and after a recent very poor experience with a sales person who I typically enjoy, I quit going. Maybe she had a bad day but it felt ugly. I decided to quit going because of the customer service and my own personal shift to buying fashion that is more sustainable and ethical.
