And I explained to Tobias his mistake and once again he brought me the wrong size shoe. And Megan brought more shoes out that Tobias didn't bring out for me to decide if I was interested. Tobias couldn't do the job and should be fired. I give two stars because of the customer service from Megan and I did find a pair of shoes that was what I was looking for. It wasn't the color i was looking for though.

The Coliseum rocks my (soccer) socks!…read more I was recently pure-pressured into joining the soccer team at my school. I finally caved in and decided to join. My good friend recommended the Coliseum to purchase my soccer gear and I had a great experience! The store is right off of the San Pedro exit on Highway 101 in San Rafael. It's a relatively small store, but they carry a large selection of merchandise. When I arrived, the employee working fit me for cleats. He was incredibly helpful and gave great suggestions for styles that fit my very narrow feet. I finally decided on a pair of Nike women's cleats, which were the last pair on sale (score!) He also helped me pick out a few pairs of socks and shin guards. I really appreciate all of the help from the crew at the Coliseum. I found everything that I was looking for during my visit and I plan to return for future purchases. If you're looking into buying gear in bulk, I was told that they offer discounts to teams. Check it out!

I bought a pair of hiking boots of some unknown brand and they never broke in, they changed my gait and gave me sciatica, which was extremely painful.

If you like name-brand outdoor clothing but not name-brand outdoor clothing prices, Marin Outdoor…read moreTrading Company should be on your radar. With a mix of consignment clothing and manufacturer samples, MOTC is a small, local shop with an enticing mix of offerings. Even though the consignment clothing would never count as cheap, every piece appears to be in great shape with no evidence of wear. The sample pieces, still sporting manufacturer tags, also sport a huge discount off their recommended sales price. I picked up a pre-worn, stylish fleece from The North Face for $30 and felt that price was reasonable and returned home to tell my son he should check the place out for the sort of outdoor men's pants he likes. The array of offerings is not dissimilar from what one finds at REI, but on a much smaller scale. There's other outdoor stuff here too - including a proprietor with whom one can engage in for everything fishing related. Despite its size, the store features clothes for all ages and genders as well as outdoor equipment. Whether you've outgrown something or just want something new or gently worn, if you're seeking outdoor clothing and like those name brands, MOTC should be on your radar.
