came in to buy some shoes for work and the customer service was trash. no one came to help me or no one greeted me but they were helping other people as they walked in. Idk I won't be back to this location. I didn't even get anything because I wasn't helped like I should have been. Just do a little bit better on customer service read more

I love these guys and this store. They are all very friendly helpful and knowledgeable even got a discount on my new boots. They have everything you could possibly need for workwear. One Stop Shop. Thank you guys! read more

Always get what I need here. Anything from clothes to keep you dry, warm/cool. Lots of good options read more

Whistle Workwear - Shoe Stores Near Me - Tacoma, Washington

Been a customer for over fifteen years. This is the worst Whistle Workwear location, solely because of the staff. Between placed orders being wrong on their end, to them talking to each other about the birds and the bees at the register while a line of customers are waiting to check out, this location deserves a revamped crew. Drive to Puyallup, Seattle, or Silverdale for excellent product with great customer service. read more

I walked in here looking to acquire a Christmas gift for a friend of mine and spotted a beautiful Catapillar Red Brown Leather Work Boot on clearance for $114. They were all one side shoes and an attendant had to go in the back to look for the other half. One chunky Filipino fella tells me they're on clearance because they have to be sold as one as size 9 and the other as size 10 as a pair. Then a tall causasian attendant goes in the back together with the Filipino and one of them notifys me that he cannot find this product. Apparently the Filipino fella tells that it's common for customers to wear their shoe sizes that are mismatched. They had enough nerve to lie straight to my face expecting their customers to buy a size 9 and 10 as a pair and be okay with it. Whistler it sounds to me your staff needs integrity training. I am never coming back here again, well~ Amazon here I come. This is what I get trying to support local businesses. Thanks for taking my opinion under consideration Happy Holidays Blake G. read more

My visit was quick, easy, and great. Found a great pair of quality work boots, some socks, and a few shirts. Quality products, and excellent service. What more can you ask for? Very happy customer. read more

Store wasn't really that crowded when I was there. Everyone was wearing mask. Even got my free promo socks!

My fav place to shop for work shoes. Employees are very friendly and well knowledge. I just told them What I want, they will bring me few shoes to try. I have been there few times in the past few year. I would recommend this to family and friends! read more

It was my first time being in the whistle workwear store. I had the pleasure of being helped by Tracy, which I later discovered was the manager on duty. She was knowledgeable, helpful and went above and beyond to make sure I was satisfied. She helped me try on several different boots and when the one I liked wasn't available at her store she called around to find it at another location. Not only did she find them for me, she had someone drop them off with their shipment which was arriving a few hours later. Absolutely amazing! Katie, another associate, was very kind and helpful when I returned (the same day) to pick up my boots. Thank you so much for all your help ladies! I will definitely return for any of my construction clothing needs. read more

Super rude , treat customers like trash and are annoyed when ever they have to help you .go get your workwear somewhere else

I ordered a pair of work boots online since I have no time to make it to the stores. I paid for overnight shipping since I will be needing them right away, as my other pair have met their unfortunate demise. I received a call from the staff informing me they received my order. She told me since I am in Seattle, it wouldn't be practical to pay the extra money for overnight shipping, and asked if I would be fine with two day shipping (free of charge). For the savings and honesty, I absolutely was, and she refunded the shipping. She immediately had the tracking number sent to me. I already know the boots are quality, and look forward to having some safe toes. Great customer service! read more

I've been coming to Whistle for about a year and have always been more than happy. They have a great brand selection, a pretty large inventory, and great customer service. If I've been in need of a size that's not in stock, they get it right in within a few days without fail. I also had a pair of pants rip after about a month of wear and they just swapped them out no hassle. Thanks to the team at Whistle, you all rock! read more

Spectacular selection of Carhartt apparel with a friendly, happy staff of knowledgeable folks. I'll be back.

Help!!! I needed shoes and other things for work, got to Whistle and right away got about three hello's, made my way to the back of the store and the sales associate was busy, but not to busy to give me a quick review of the layout. As soon as she was free she got some Danners that I wanted to try on. F that. They were terrible. Then she got me some Keen's that I had heard about. Yeah, they didn't work for me either. Finally she suggested I try some Timberland. They were just right. Fit like my own skin, and comfy right away. Plus - $200 cheaper than Danner, and $50 cheaper than Keen. So I found some long sleeve t shirts, and a bright yellow rain coat to finish my day off. read more

Last Friday went there to buy a pair of boots. It was 45 min before they close, i know this do to the fact the sales assoc. In shoe department told me four times. I'm a flagger and was wearing my rain gear. I told him i need to buy new waterproof boots for tomorrow. I was wearing my Danners and wanted something new.. I asked which on were safety toed and he said orange tags were composite. I started looking around and asked for 3 different styles to try on. when i asked for the style he said really ask he walked off. I could hear jim and the employee in the back behind the wall which I could still hear him talking talking about how the store was going to close and I'm asking for a pair of shoes he came out informed me that they're going to be closing soon and if I was done trying on the three pairs when I had only tried on one and started to grab the two that I hadn't even tried on yet. last one actually looked at me and said seriously came in 40 minutes before it closed. cuz I was trying on the the other two boots I still can't hear him behind the wall talking about me to the other employee I was offended I was treated like I wasn't there and that my money didn't matter obviously I had a pair of Danner boots so I can spend some money on some boots but they lost a sale that day I got up I was fed up I walked out and the guy at the front door asked me if I found everything I needed and I said no their employee in the back was rude I will never come back here again I've never been treated that way and that they lost a sale and he just looked at me kind of shocked and I walked out I was so upset that I got treated that way 45 minutes prior to them closing read more

Great place to find good deals on long lasting work clothes. Look out for sales to get the best prices.

Could have had a $200 sale if ANY ONE of the people theres even acknowledged my existence. Waited for 5 min in the shoes before walking out. read more

We stopped in today to purchase some boots for my husband. The staff were so pleasant and friendly. They were attentive to all our needs and we ended up walking away with not one but two pairs of boots for him. Thank you for making our shopping experience amazing and nice, will certainly make the 30 minute drive to this shopping store in the future for all our boot needs. read more

Tuesday I went in to Whistle workwear on on Tacoma mall way to get a fancy safety vest. I was eyeballing the Stanley cups (my favorite one started leaking recently) I asked about the lifetime Warrantee and the woman working said "yeah just bring it in" so today I did! I was expecting a hassle, have to mail it in or whatever...nope! They hooked it right the fuck up!! That's good customer service right there! They'll be getting more of my business. read more

I needed a new pair of boots that would stand up to heavy use, water, mud, and even diesel. Safety toe, waterproof, and anti fatigue because I have bad feet, a bad knee, hip and back. Sarah was the associate who helped me. She was fantastic! Sense of humor "the fuel will eat your sole," very knowledgeable, and just all around awesome. She made shopping for work boots fun. High fives were had. Even my girlfriend who had to tag along had fun. If you need work wear, look for Sarah! read more

The staff here are excellent! Very friendly :-) and they all seem to work well together and have fun! We bought boots here and two weeks later, the top part of the boot ripped off due to manufacturing error. The staff helped us locate another pair had it shipped to the store and replaced ASAP! Great customer service! That's hard to find thank you all! read more

Best customer service. Free hemming. Free tootsie rolls.

Been going to whistle workwear for over ten years. Bought a carrhart FR shirt Friday. the shirt ripped only wearing it for two days took it back Tuesday they said they would look in to it. Wednesday talked to Gary returned my call later and exchanged the shirt. Good job Tacoma store team. read more

Didn't have a problem with them until I went to special order it. You would think they were trying to put a man on Mars. Went in and special ordered boots because they told me it would take 10 days to get them, awesome. The day they were set to arrive, I got a phone call saying they were on backorder and were going to be a month. So because I was upset I canceled them. After thinking about it I called back the next day to change my mind. The person I talked to said that they were still on order. I called back several times just to make sure they were still on order, they were. A couple of those phone calls I was told I would get a phone call back, never did. I always had to get a hold of somebody. Then today I get a phone call telling me that my boots were never on their way. That after I canceled them nobody had called the manufacture to make sure they were still being sent. We are now at over a month since the initial order and they already have my money. WOW! Mind you not once did I get loud or talk nasty. I was polite every time I talked to them. read more

We go to this location for work boots. The staff is rude, poor selection and they acted like we wanted to steal the boots. When in the checkout line the cashier acted like she didn't know anything about the union discount. I don't know what happened to this location. Don't waste your time. read more

Beware of the return policy! I received a long sleeve Carhartt shirt for Christmas from my in-laws. I took it back to the Tacoma store, along with the Gift Receipt with the intent of simply exchanging it for a smaller size. The sales associate asked me if I had washed or worn it at least one time. I answered "yes." He informed me it is store policy that if it is washed or worn one time, they will not return or exchange it. So, let me see if I understand this...you receive a gift, and like most people, you wash it before putting it on. According to their return policy, you have already violated the policy before even seeing if it fits! I have never experienced this type of policy with any other clothing store. Furthermore, I checked the Gift Receipt to see if the Return Policy is stated...and it was no where to be seen. If I could, I would give Whistle Workwear zero stars. In the future, I will never purchase anything from them again, and I will tell others as well. Their return policy is ridiculous! read more

Went in to whistle no body works here work wear, again, tried 2 years ago, 4 staff lounging around, the guy in the shoe section apparently didn't feel like selling shoes that day, so I just measured my feet, put my shoes on and orders the romeos online. Was in whistle we don't work here work wear to day, about 10;30, 3 staff, (they have big signs on the back of their shirts) were lounging around the register, one man back in shoe section, was deciding whether to go past the employee only sign to find a box with what he wanted, obviously he expected some one else to help him, I couldn't find any one either, but there were stacks of different romeos around, probably had the style I wanted, but really I don't work there, I'm not helping them make sales. SO. I measured my feett agains, just to make sure, opened a few boxes, un arranged their display a little looking at the shoes, got a nice cheery have a nice day as I walked back out past the register lol. just finished ordering the same shoe I saw at whistle welfare , for the same price. don't bother with this joint, and the clowns they hire. Theres a new saftey work wear shop on south Tacoma way, just past the b&i, Bass pro shops has a better selection of work shoes , steel toe and all than whistle don't work. and the place in orting is head and shoulders above them both, so there are plenty of better choices than whistle I don't have to work wear, . yeah My shoes won't be here till Tuesday, (free shipping to). this is a bad business to patronize, hope the fold and go away soon. maybe a work wear place that sells shoes will move in, we really could use one lmfao. read more
