I had the best service for getting new ski boots and adjusting my insoles. JR and Otto were incredibly knowledgeable, friendly and patient. They spent 3 hours with me and even adjusted my insoles that had been made incorrectly by another competitor. I had gone to three different boot fitting appointment with this other company and didn't realize how lacking those appts were. Sturtevant's was by far the best and took the time to address every single adjustment and find a boot that meets my needs. Even though this not the closest location for me, it's worth the drive and I will be a customer for life! read more

Service is excellent here, the young guys working here were so helpful, friendly and honest too! Glad to have found this place for our ski rentals and needs read more

I wanted to send a thank you to Mark at Sturtevant's. We bought a pair of kids performance skis and boots for our skier son. We learned on the hill that the binding brakes were not right -- too narrow for the ski. Mark recognized the problem and my concerns about safety if the break arms were bent to "fix" the problem. He replaced the skis and bindings and kept us as a forever customer. read more

Amazing customer service. Ryan (one of the managers) & Ronan especially made my wife's day as her previously purchased bought from them was too painful for her to get into. They helped her find a new boot she could easily slide into without my help and even gave her full credit for her old boot. Now I need to find more gear for myself! read more

Had not been to a Sturtevant's in over a decade! I honestly didn't even realize they were still around. Was in the market for a new tennis racket + outfit ( obvi!) and had struggled to find just the right one. Good ol Yelp came to the rescue and helped me realize that the store I frequented as a child for all my Tennis needs was still around! This location is two stories and they have a ton of awesome inventory! I spent a bit more time in the clothing section looking at the awesome apparel. They have every type of brand and have some awesome summer sales going on. Really cute tennis skirts in every color. Their racket inventory downstairs is great. I ended up not buying one because I wanted to sleep on it. But considering it's all I've thought about since leaving, I'm taking the plunge! Staff upstairs in retail is awesome. The young guys downstairs need a bit more training on customer management as they were a bit brief when we had questions on their rackets. read more

Howard is amazing! He was so helpful and patient helping me get a great pair of shoes for tennis! read more

See all

JR at the boot shop was great, friendly, and knowledgeable. He got a boot alignment done for me and did a good job explaining what he was doing. read more

As a skier athlete I have been using Sturtevants for skis, boots and accessories since the 90s and in Bellevue and around the Eastside they are your main source obviously but inside the store you will find some seasoned Pros at boot fitting and World Cup ski tuning when you ask for it read more

They sell lots of cool ski and winter stuff. You can find many brands at different price range. But what it makes them different is their service. They are super attentive, patient, friendly and knowledgeable. I love coming here for winter gear and getting advice on new stuff. Whenever I have a gear problem or doubt, they will help me solving it pretty fast. Last year I was looking for ski boots and they would gladly spent an hour looking for the right ones. They even were willing to locate ones in another store. This year I had a problem with another pair and they helped me diligently with screws and fitting. They will always have time for you. You can feel they work as a team and get advice from one another :) I would obviously recommend them above any other store. read more

Wow! This place was crazy busy, and the parking situation isn't ideal when it is really busy, but they had a great selection of goggles, boots, and everything else you could imagine. I will say their coat selection was not huge by any means but popular and good brands. read more

Absolute must stop in for great Ski equipment and preparing for the winter season. Shoutout to Will for getting me squared away for the upcoming season. Great team with tons of knowledge and make the whole experience easy and fun. read more

After looking through the outer wear selection for ski wear at Nordstrom to no avail, the salesperson suggested sturtevants. I've never heard of it, but the salesperson said they have a way better selection and are cheaper than other places like REI. My friend from Seattle knew of it, so we checked it out. At about 6pm, the place was packed with people returning rentals. I was there just to buy new ski pants, so I headed towards the racks of clothes on the opposite side of the store. They didn't have a really large selection of pants, only a few styles in each size, but I found one that fit, and since I was skiing the next day or something crazy, I was desperate. I've never skied in jeans, but I can't imagine it would be very pleasant lol. My ski pants cost me about $150.... but I was desperate, remember. I glanced through the jackets, which were as expensive or more for brands like Spyder and north face. I can find better deals elsewhere if I had the time. Oh well. I think the store itself needs an update or renovation. It felt dinky with the low ceilings and brown carpet. The fitting rooms were also a disaster: clothes and hangers everywhere and even a few pills on the floor lol yep. I don't think I'll be back. I'll plan my trips a little better and make sure I'm always prepared with ski attire for impromptu ski trips :) read more

We needed last minute ski items for our trip to crystal mountain and the staff here was quick and accommodating. We appreciate them so much for their help and will be back! read more

I purchased a tennis racquet and had it strung. Very knowledgeable employees and great prices. Keep up the good work!!

Great selection of gear and many friendly, highly knowledgeable staff. Their annual sale is incredible!

A wide variety of winter sports gear. Somewhat reminds me of a REI but at the same time it's a little more intimate. Employees weren't pushy but helpful which I appreciate. REI kinda tailors to everything while this place was mainly skiing and boarding equipment / clothing with tennis thrown in there because why not read more

I'm a beginner snowboarder (learned last year and went up 3 times) and fell in love so I figured it would be more cost effective to purchase my own gear for this year! Sturtevant's has a rental program, but after doing the math it's still cheaper after 3 years to purchase your own gear so I decided to buy, but I came in not knowing ANYTHING. I've never been into snow sports so I literally started my conversation with 0 knowledge. Taylor was with me for about 2-3 hours explaining the pro's/con's of boards and helping me try on boots. At the end I felt very confident with the choices I had made and now that I've had a chance to take the gear up I can say I'm very happy as well!!! The employees here will really take their time to find the best option for you and I felt it was a really easy experience- especially for someone who is new to all of this! Taylor was very knowledgeable about each one of the boards I asked about (without having to read any of the specs) and I found everything he told me about my own board to be very true. Not only that, but he also set up my bindings and taught me how to change them! Overall a really great experience, I would highly recommend Sturtevant's! The employees here will really take the time to listen to you and find the right fit. I'll definitely be back, thanks! read more

Have bought lots of equipment from these guys. Their service, selection and attention to detail is awesome. Last thing I purchased mid season was some new custom boot footbeds (w/heaters) and the custom Intuition liners. These were all expertly crafted by boot tech Jonathan who did an amazing job. He spent all the time I needed to give me an absolutely beautiful fit, even with a follow ip tweak on them. it is a little spendy but worth every penny. Highly recommend these guys (and their boot shop) especially Johnathan:) read more

These guys have it all and are so customer focused! I went in after waiting many years to switch out bad fitting boots; so glad I did! However my first set of boots were too tight - I had them fixed but still had pain and issues being in them all day. Going vertical was fine but standing and walking over time became too painful. As an instructor, I need performance but also high comfort. Eventually Ryan pinpointed my issue which was I needed one size up, and from there I've been so comfortable!! Lifetime customer here!!! read more

Was in need of new snowboard boots and very glad I came here. The young salesman was very friendly and didn't show any reservations about fetching boot after boot to find me the correct fit. Bought them and rode for a week before realizing they weren't stiff enough and they let me exchange them through their 'performance guarantee'. Basically they're gonna make sure you like what you get. Other stores give you a week to change your mind, these guys give you a year. The only store with a better policy is the big three letter outdoors shop whose snow department has less selection and aren't as helpful. Definitely gonna be coming back here for snow stuff. read more

Sturtevant's is top notch! My wife and I just purchased boots and foot beds from Sturtevant's and our experience was outstanding. Navigating the options and spending the time to get a good fit is important and they delivered. The difference with Sturtevant's is their service. Chad was outstanding in getting us fitted and was just a really nice person. Ryan was also awesome at explaining the ski options. In the online era, I think people forget just how valuable it is to have someone super knowledgeable with ski equipment guide you through your gear selection. Thank you!! read more

Sturtevant's - Huge ski and boot selection - Outdoor Gear Near Me - Bellevue, Washington

Knowledgeable staff, awesome service and selection for boots, skis and anything else you may need on the mountain! 10/10 would recommend!

It would be great to love the place, it seems good overall. BUT, I went into make a CRITICAL purchase of expensive backcountry ski boots. I asked for the BEST person I could talk to, and I was given a highschooler. I kindly asked to speak to one of the older people with more experience, saying, not to be offended but I just needed to speak to someone more knowledgably. I was told this man had all the experience necessary. I proceeded to buy an expensive pair of boot with his recommendations, trying on boots, and feeling unsure if the boot I was picking fit me properly. I was assured it was just right. well, I have seen 5-6 boot fitters since, including going to Sturtevant's two more times for boot fittings. I have had custom foot beds, and changed out the liner, and it is IMPRESSIVE how bad this boot continues to feel after that. Those boots hurt so bad, I can barely go a resort day, and I have had to bail on a backcountry trip because my feet couldn't handle the boots. I basically just threw money into the trash, as I will need to spend that SAME amount of money on a new pair of boots without waring out the old pair... My story might just be a one off experience, but do beware.... read more

Let's do some math: $300 Burton AK snow pants (brand new) - 70% off + awesome staff - somewhat limited glove selection = I'll be back, soon. You really can't beat some of the deals they have here. They might not have much left on the 70% off rack - being closer to the snow season and all. But you owe it to yourself to stop on by. read more

About gave up on new boot purchased elsewhere, but thought I'd give sturtevants a try. Not sure of fitter's name, but think it was Brent who was patient and fixed the problem. (prepared to buy new boots! ) was charged $25. read more

I got new ski boots for Christmas and came back to exchange them. Mark helped me pick new boots. He was professional, extremely knowledgeable, and helped me get boots that are hands down the most comfortable boots I have ever skied in. The experience was what I imagine you would go through if you were a professional skier looking for boots. Pretty impressive! The exchange was painless as well. Thanks guys! read more

I came into this ski shop with the intention of browsing some snowboarding gear. I was an amateur, so I had a lot of really basic questions. I didn't even need to ask most of them because Colin C. was so knowledgeable and professional that he covered everything I imagined. He was incredibly patient with me, walking me through the basics of the gear so that I understand for what exactly I'm paying. Initially, I did not intend on buying anything, but Colin set me up so well with the equipment (boots were a perfect fit and felt great, board looked awesome and straps were ergonomic) and worked so hard, all while they were extremely busy on a Sunday afternoon, that I just had to buy my first set of boots, straps and a board. If you ever visit this shop, make sure Colin C. is there so you can get the same incredible quality. The checkout staff was also really stellar too! read more

We went today to buy ski boots and had an amazing experience. Ryan was incredibly knowledgeable, helpful and walked us thought everything we needed to know about ski boots. He was approachable and down to earth. And the best part was - they were totally reasonable prices. I could not recommend this place highly enough! read more

The staff at Sturdevant's has always been super kind and helpful. I dropped off my two snowboards for a wax and came to pick them up today. Travis took excellent care of me and did a stellar job on the wax. I'm beyond stoked to go shred some powder this season on these freshly waxed boards. I'd definitely recommend Sturdevant's if you're looking for new gear or simply need a tune up on your current setup. Huge thanks again to all the folks over at Sturdevant's, especially you Travis! read more

Great tennis selection, incredible selection and inventory. The staff have great knowledge and are quick to help regardless of skill level and deliver maintenance and customizations very quickly. My favorite place for re-string and purchasing. Not sure why they have an upstairs, all the fun stuff is down below =) read more

I can't say enough good things about this location and business! Two weeks ago I stopped in and spoke to Colin since he was their expert on splitboard configuration and everything in general related to splitboards. I had questions about my Nitro Doppelgänger I bought from another local shop last season in Whatcom County and Colin recommended I bring my board in next time I'm nearby. The following week I came back with my board and Colin fixed what was wrong (wasn't put together properly and showed me a few other things). After spending 30 minutes making adjustments and correcting configuration mistakes I made since the other shop never bothered to help set up the board, I asked how much I owed and he said don't worry about it. I was more than willing to pay for the service and decided to buy some new Hestra leather insulated lobster claw gloves (highly recommend). If Icould give six stars I would, thank you for the excellent service! read more

As my skiing has improved, I've become more aware of needing equipment tweaks. Namely, I noticed my heels were super wobbly in my boots (I have ridiculously narrow heels). I decided to pop by Sturtevant's to get them dialed in. Vanessa was amazing. I don't think I've ever had sick a solid foot in ski boots. Thanks Vanessa, you rock! read more

I recently purchased a Ride Warpig with Burton Step On Bindings from Colin at Sturtevent's. Colin was awesome to deal with. I would highly, highly recommend anyone in the market for snowboard gear to go see him. read more

Matt is super helpful for all things snow. Great experience all around, love this shop.

I came in the day after Christmas to get some help with my snowboard boots. My BOA laces had snapped and I needed it fixed before using them the next day. It was super busy in the shop. I was impressed with how positive everyone was, despite being slammed. I was helped by a nice guy, who's name I didn't catch. He fixed my boot pretty quickly while we talked about his dog Cayenne. Even though he was helping me, he still made sure to check in with other customers that looked like they might need help. Lovely location, great staff, thank you for fixing my boot! read more

I am a fan. I rented boots the first day of a week long ski trip from Hawaii. They didn't fit right and I got a serious blister. The Sturtevant's was recommended. I went to their Belleview store and met Brent, I think, who is a master fitter. He fitted me for an hour and got me into some boots that in spite of the blister, allowed me to do Alpental for the rest of the week. Too bad Crystal was too far away considering family and friends to visit during a short week. Go see Brent. read more

Sturtevant's - Brent the master fitter who saved my vacation - Outdoor Gear Near Me - Bellevue, Washington

My dad and I went here thinking we had reservations for a new boot fitting, turns out I made a mistake and booked a different place! They were quick to help us out and fix us up with Doug, who was great. He was engaging, funny and super knowledgeable. We got two pairs of new ski boots, and a ski tune-up all in about an hour. read more

We LOVE coming here. Seth, Patrick, and Otto are fantastic!! They helped us pick out exactly what skis we would demo, provided outstanding customer service, and are just all-around amazing people. Highly recommend Sturtevant's for all your ski-related needs. And if you need boots adjusted talk to Otto because he's a wizard and fixed my friend's boots on the spot when he had issues. This store is great and these guys are the reason we keep coming back. THANK YOU! -Em & Billy read more

This is why you go to a locally-owned ski store, not a big box store. Rick Chatham took my painful ski boots, carefully took the time to diagnose the problem, and added padding - all free of charge! I hadn't even bought the boots there. Wow! Update: Today, Andy gave such great, customer-oriented service today, again taking time to figure out what was wrong and explain what he was doing to try and fix it. Can't get better service than this! And he insisted on not being paid for it. read more

This place is the worst at fitting boots! Everyone I've known has had MAJOR issues. They then try to upsell you new ski boot inserts. Save yourself a lot of headache and pain and select a pair of boots that is snug but doesn't hurt right out of the gate. Absolutely blows my mind this store is touted as The go-to ski shop. Such creeps read more
