This store is the closest location to me of high end outdoor gear I have found. I checked online…read moreto make sure they would have what I needed before making the trip from the Meridian and 91st street area where I was attending a doctor's office for the day and had a chance to shop while on my lunch break. I was looking for Merrell hiking shoes to replace the Vasque shoes I have been wearing for the last ten years. I have been wearing high end hiking shoes as everyday footwear since I discovered mountain trail hiking in Tucson back in 2002. Their online web site said they had a pair normally retailing for $120 on sale for $80 but it must have been online only since I could not find it in the store. This store did not carry Vasque but I had previously owned a pair of Merrell shoes and knew they were good quality and would last a long time. They offered two choices which were waterproof and not waterproof. I chose the waterproof although I liked the color of the non-waterproof better. The pair I chose were basically brown and I was hoping to get a different color since I had been wearing brown for so long. They offered two other colors, an olive green and a lighter color online but they did not appeal to me. I was hoping for a dark gray or something to match black and jeans better. Service was only so-so. Another customer and I waited in the shoe department for someone to wait on us while other employees looked at us but didn't assist us. It's not like we can help ourselves. Someone has to go in the back and grab a box and bring it out for us to try on. Eventually someone came to help me but the other customer gave up and left. Checking out was equally frustrating. Two cashiers both stuck with customers for a long time, one bickering over a return and not getting a full credit. This is where other stores have a separate counter for these issues so customers who want to simply pay and go can do so without a long wait and no one getting checked out. Standing in line or waiting to be helped while multiple other employees seem to be available to help is frustrating.

I rarely get to go to brick and mortar stores where I can actually try things on. This was a treat! It was nice to find hiking gear and lightweight jackets that I wanted. They had a good selection of hiking boots, too. The prices were high (I thought), but the quality was there. The store is huge, well organized, immaculate and packed with merchandise. Spring colors were everywhere. I encountered several clerks who asked if I needed help. The check out area is in the back of the store, which I found a bit odd. There is plenty of parking in the strip mall lot. I'll be back.

There's a front and back entrance, the back has 1-2 reserved parking spots. It's a fairly small place but packed with stuff: sleeping bags to keep you warm in the mountains, apparel from brands like Patagonia, water bottles, candles that smell amazing, camping chairs, knives, and more! The customer service is out of this world. Multiple folks working, all really friendly. When you ask to see something from the case, they answer questions about the product t but don't try to sell it - thank god, that is annoying and it's nice to not have that pressure. They sell quality items so their sales folk don't really have to hustle like that. Anyways, very pleasant experience!

Dick's has a monopoly on track cleats, apparently. It's the only place I could find around Indy…read morethat actually sells them in person. Cleats are the kind of shoes you need to try on in person, because you don't want to eff around with running shoes. So if you're looking for cleats, they got a lotta them here! Lots of colors to choose from, and they range from $60 to $180. Guess which ones my kid gravitated to? We tried some on, which was easy to do because there were many people around to help us. But if you visit and you can't find someone, this Dick's has a kiosk in the shoe section where you can request shoes to try on, and someone will hypothetically materialize from somewhere and bring them to you. I like this Dick's in Castleton because it tends to have more product in stock than the one in Carmel. But I also like Dick's in general (that's what she said) because it was one of the stores I could convince my kids to visit with me when they were younger. We would ride the escalator up and down, and sit in the canoes, and climb into the tents, and see who could punch the punching bag the hardest. Who knew that Dick's could be entertaining as well as a place to find sporting goods? Good times. Now, my kids come with me to Dick's to try to convince me to drop $200 on shoes they're going to wear for four weeks. Take me back to the canoe!

I've never been a serious runner, and I always bought shoes online or just randomly in stores without thinking of the features. Here, Gary helped me by first scanning my feet.
