The staff is so helpful and patient - From the moment you walk in, you are greeted with a smile and a true sense that the staff want to know how they can help. My most recent trip I had the privilege to work with Anne who brought me a variety of shoes and listened to my feedback. As they always do, she also had me walk in the shoes so she could assess my gait and how my leg looked walking in the shoes. The staff often consult one another and have another set of eyes and can tell just by squatting down to watch you walk that certain shoes are better than others. While the prices may seem high, the truth is that high quality shoes are just expensive and PR Running is competitively priced with the manufacturer websites. They also almost always have a sale rack where you can sometimes find your size! I have been buying shoes here for over ten years! I love to support this small business and hope they continue to thrive in a world of online shopping and big box stores.

PR Running came highly recommended by a friend, and I'm so glad I stopped in! From the moment I…read morewalked through the door, the employees were welcoming and attentive. Even though they were all helping other customers, each person made the effort to greet me and let me know they'd be with me shortly, which I really appreciated. I had the chance to work with Rich, and he was fantastic! He pulled up a chair so we could talk about my running goals and then did a gait assessment to better understand my stride and foot type. Based on that, he selected a shoe for me to try, then had me go outside for a quick jog so he could make sure it was the right fit. I really liked how he kept my running goals in mind while also making sure the shoes worked for my feet specifically. I left the store with a perfect pair of running shoes and couldn't be more excited to continue my running journey with the right support under my feet. Highly recommend PR Running to anyone looking for knowledgeable staff, excellent customer service, and a personalized experience!

I was in Country Ski a few weeks back getting ready for my snowboarding trip to Whistler for New…read moreYears. I needed some soft goods and since I don't have much time to stay up to speed with what's going on in gear world, I was looking to enlist the help of their staff. Usually I don't do this, especially in specialty shops, because I don't like the pressure to buy or bad vibes for not knowing ridiculous details of what I thought was just a sweater. One of the sales guys approached me (Ray, I think?) while I was checking out their jackets. Being a reduce, reuse, recycle kinda guy, i was happy to learn the Planet Earth jackets they stock use sustainable fabrics. They had a great selection which made finding something that fit my style easy. Ray was asking me questions while I was grabbing some other stuff and he suggested I check out their custom footbeds. I've been using Superfeet and love them, but felt a step up in the footbed department would be instrumental in getting my riding to the next level. I was hoping the custom footbeds would have an impact similar to using the right running shoes for my foot/strike. They worked out way better than I expected! I had no problems with the new boots I got for Christmas (K2 Maysis) on my first day out. Footbed and boot overall felt great. That was a huge for my week long trip in Whistler! The gears kept me dry, warm, and comfortable which is precisely what I need. Custom footbeds are killer. It's a huge step up! Got a great deal on everything. Knowledgeable staff helped me find some things I might have missed (they even had a helmet delivered the next morning from one of their other stores), and they gave me some great advice on caring for my equipment, too. 5 stars for customer service, price, and selection.

This place is amazing! I came in here recently to buy my first set of skis and boots, and as a…read morenovice skier, I was worried of being upsold. The staff couldn't have been nicer and happily answered all of my questions. They didn't pressure me at all and spent a ton of time working with me to find the perfect gear.

The man said it was easy for them to put together and I said OK I'll get the rails and footings for over $600 and that was with a 25% discount for a Labor Day sale . NO WHERE was there a cost stated for any installation, which for this would be putting the pieces together. Which they can do in their sleep.Maybe the associate Renate was intimidated by a large man complaining that the easy installation was taking two hours more than he was quoted and he didnt have the time anymore. I ordered the parts later by phone, never a mention of the installation costs, Today when he called to say the parts were in he asked if I wanted them to put it together I said Sure, he then said it would be $145 more for this. I said it is no where on the contract of anything about any install cost and that should be quoted before. He said he did I said no he didnt and maybe he was intimidated by the very angry large man pacing the showroom. Now I look at the receipt and in very small type is "owes 145" then under it is "owes 35" which mean nothing to me because I paid in full via a card,but that is their way of saying they showed me the installation fee? Now what. is the $35 for? are they going to add that on? I feel like calling my card company and cancelling the order.

I went to Ski Barn mid season to find used skis for my 14 year old son. We walked into Dave & Paul…read moreworking the store. At first I was a little hesitant because I don't know much about skis and didn't want to be sold something we didn't need. The skis we brought in were purchased at a ski swap earlier this year; they were pretty tired and started to splinter at the tips. Dave & Paul explained the skis were good for someone at some point; not for my son at his skill level and usage. Dave helped us find a pair of new skis that would work best for my son for many season. Dave didn't pick the most expensive pair he explained why he chose the pair he did for my son. We got to talking; turns out Dave lives close to my house-he offered to drop the skis off once he put the binding on them. It turns out he put the bindings on right then and there; it was appreciated. I didn't feel 'had' or pressured to buy anything. I read the reviewer with the online purchase. I can understand why a local store like Ski Barn would be put off by online items; skis are an in person purchase but no one likes to feel bad when going into a store. To that I would state; these guys are confident and know what they are talking about. Maybe confidence was confused/felt like pressure or picking. To anyone going to Ski Barn I suggest- LISTENING. Everyone wants to know everything about everything but let the experts like Dave and Paul explain things to you. Seems like a place they want your return business not the one time sale. We will be back for all our equipment needs.

That kind of tone really soured the experience. Additionally, I compared prices for my specific ski and binding model and found better deals at other reputable retailers like evo and Backcountry.com. If you're looking for the best value and more friendly support, I'd recommend shopping around before choosing this retailer.

I haven't been inside a traditional bike shop in some time, and it was nice stepping back into "simpler times." There was definitely a nice assortment of bikes to fit everyone's riding interests, but none of the crazy modern technology that other larger bike shops use to help with bike fitment, riding simulation, etc. The owner, John, was extremely accommodating the FIVE times I went there, each time to better understand my next bike, the groupset I was best suited for, and overal mental trade study on whether I should even buy one. No pressure whatsoever, he was carefree and offered honest opinion. In the end I bought a Park Tool repair stand and a Trek Checkpoint.

Not sure why some folks are trying to treat this like a Wal-Mart, its a local boutique with two locations. I don't expect a year long warranty on an accessory, its called life.

I really did not need shoes for this trip, but I saw the most perfect pair of lightweight leather slides that I need for a different trip later this year. The saleswoman was so helpful in assisting me to try the shoes, and informed me how to ensure that slides will stay on the foot, giving me a little pad for each shoe. I was wondering how I would get them home in my already full suitcase. I was musing aloud about having to press the shoes together, and leave their box behind. She offered to have them shipped, at my cost. I was very happy to accept that offer, because these are expensive shoes, over $200, and they deserve to be treated properly. And then....I was directed upstairs to the sale area!! Wow!!! Terrific styles and prices! I will most definitely return to Footstock when I visit my friends in the area again. An absolute gem of a shoe store! Thank you for all of your care.
