I came in to look for some work boots using a voucher and Maria was very helpful, nice and very knowledgable. She made it a nice experience for my first time in that store. The next day I came back with the voucher and McKenna helped me just the same . I will tell everyone about my experience. Thanks ladies! read more

I've come into work world numerous times over the years to grab specific things. I recently had to come in to get some High Vis gear for a worksite, they have a very good selection of shirts, vest, and jackets. There is an amazing selection of work boots. I guarantee that you will find something for your application and that fits you. The staff is always very friendly and willing to help find what you need. It's nice to still have a store to come into and not have to order things online. read more

Work World - Huge selection of work boots - Shoe Stores Near Me - Reno, Nevada

Went to buy some boots, the service was excellent. The employee was very knowledge about the different boot features and I'll definitely be back for my next pair. read more

Service is awful, the worst I have ever encountered, I am never returning, the customer rep was not attentive and looked unapproachable!

5/22/23 So this place is pretty amazing seeing it has everything work gear related from pants, shirts, socks, insoles, hardhats, safety gear, etc. Shoes as seen in pic. I started a new job and requires a safety toe shoe or boot. Whatever your preference is, I have boots but they're a heavy duty as I call them boat anchor's and I needed more of a tennis shoe style and they carry tons of stuff they even had Reebok work shoes with the composite toe. I was able to find a pair that fit well and get a pair of the Insoles for foot fatigue. Service was excellent to they help me find the shoes and sizes that I needed and even let me try the insoles to see how I feel and I also got the shoes on sale so that worked out as well. I will definitely go back because there's a bunch of other stuff that I want to look at. Enjoy! read more

Work World - Shopping for work shoes - Shoe Stores Near Me - Reno, Nevada

I went to buy a pair of work boots and I received the worst treatment of my life, it was hostile and I will not be returning ever.

I ordered 2 pairs of carhartt cargo shorts. They processed shipping sending 1 pair usps and the second pair ups. Strange right. I received the pair by ups no problem. When the other pair was delivered by usps it was not my cargo shorts. It was a big coat and the invoice was for a person in Texas. Called customer service and they emailed me a label to return the item. I had to repackage and drive to the postoffice to send the item back. Would not send my second pair of shorts until they received the return. After they received the return still no cargo shorts. Called customer service and said it take more time to send my shorts. Nothing happened. Fortunately I paid through PayPal so filed a complaint about the lack of getting my stuff. Then Work World emailed that they were shipping the second pair of shorts. In the interim PayPal gave me a refund. Then Work World canceled the new shipment. Then they are asking PayPal for me to return the refund. These people at Work World are ridiculous. Customer service is the worst ever anywhere. Do your self a favor and never shop with this company. They take your order and your money but you may never get what you ordered and paid for. Thank God for PayPal. read more

Arrived at 6:19 and said they were closed when it says 7 pm online the lady saw us and immediately said we're closed

Came here to pick up some new gear. Hector was super helpful and gave me all the attention and answered all my questions. He put up with my indecisiveness and didn't mind having to go to the back multiple times. Thank you Hector !! The store has a very nice selection and te prices seemed reasonable. The store is well organized and maintained... show the employees have a lot of pride for the store. Everyone I interacted with was super helpful and nice and the store was quite busy and everyone was getting the same level of attention. Very impressed! Will definitely visit again and recommend to everyone I can. read more

After going to Boot Barn to attempt to buy some boots, I went to Work World because the customer service at Boot Barn was nonexistent. I was greeted at Work World by a younger lady and told her I was looking to buy some boots. I tried on a few different pairs of boots and finally decided on some. They had a good selection of boots depending on what you're looking for. I wish they had more sizes (size 7-1/2 - 8) but they did have a size on a boot I settled for. A pair of moc toe Thorogoods. The prices weren't too bad. They lady there was very helpful. I would buy boots there again. Forget Boot Barn unless I guess you like to be left alone. read more

I recently changed employers and for my newest job, I needed some coveralls. I've never been to Work World before but my friend recommended this place to find all the clothing I'll need. I walked into the store and could generally see where everything was by section. I did two loops throughout the store, but wasn't too sure where the coveralls were. I asked Ted, the store manager, for some assistance and he was very helpful. When he led me to the location of the coveralls (immediate right side of the store, under the Dickie's section), he gave me more information of the materials, 100% cotton versus the cotton/polyester mix. He recommended the 100% Cotton because it's breathable material and with this warm weather it'll feel cooler than the cotton/poly mix. Their smallest size was a Medium so after trying on of them on, it was just a tad too big and Ted said that he could order a Small for me. Since I needed a coverall for work sooner than when the Small would arrive, I bought the 100% Cotton Medium coveralls. He also mentioned if I were to put it through the washer and dryer, it may shrink. As a first timer, I felt welcomed and with Ted's assistance I was well informed and right at home. Customer service at its finest! Thank you Ted! read more

I get free boots through work every year from another local store but mine wore out sooner than expected this year. I thought this would be a great excuse to try another shop and company. The employee was great in trying to answer my questions as they have an entire wall of boots and my questions were as vague as "Are any of them lighter than the others?" After focusing on a composite toe instead of steel and making sure they were slip resistant my choices were narrowed down. I went with a pair of Bates boots that look more military issue than industrial focused. The employee also pointed out a great pair of insoles and let me take them out of the package and slide them into the shoe to get a true fit test. After a bit of walking around in the store I committed to them. I've only been wearing them for about a week at work now but they are great. Definitely tall as they fall mid-calf, but lighter weight than others I have worn as well as being squishy under my foot with the Timberland insole. I will definitely come back if I need work specific items as the sale was quick and easy and the customer service was great. read more

Work World - Composite toe. Slip proof. Oil proof. - Shoe Stores Near Me - Reno, Nevada

I will never here again i went in there to by some shoe laces and my 4 year old is potty training and they would not even let us use the bathroom i was going to bye some work boot there so glad I did not since they are not very nice read more

About a week ago, I submitted a message in regards to a pair of pants I had purchased online (Carhartt Mens Firm Duck Double-Front Work Dungaree Color: Brown Waist: 36 Inseam: 32), in comparison to a previous pair we purchased the waist was significantly smaller and uncomfortable. My husband did wear them a couple times and therefore I had washed them. The color even seemed to bleed somewhat more than other pairs we have purchased. After submitting the message I received a phone call from a woman in CA the same day! She was amazing, unfortunately I can't remember her name. She assured me an effortless exchange despite having been worn, washed and tagless. She informed me the store was closed but intended on opening within the week and stated she would have the Local store manager contact me to let me know when it opens and we could come in. Ted contacted me within a few days, HOWEVER, the first call I missed and my voicemail box is full. HE CALLED BACK another day and that alone meant so much. Ted let me know I could come in anytime for the exchange. He was great! Upon arrival we were greeted by two younger guys (I believe one was named Alex) and even though we came in about 15 minutes prior to closing they we're very helpful and even joked with us. We upgraded knee pads while we were there as well and couldn't be happier with our purchase. During these trying times this company addressed this issue immediately and flawlessly. I will only shop with WorkWorld when it comes to needs for work apparel, shoes, etc. Thank you so much! read more

I came to help my husband look for some beefy sweatshirts. We ended up not buying as he could not find any that he liked. The store is laid out well with the merchandise grouped by function. It is mostly men's wear, but I wasn't really looking for women's clothing. I like that the products are well made of hefty material. This IS work wear after all. It is also not just outdoorsy clothing, but also chef and kitchen clothing, nursing scrubs, and assorted shirts, pants and accessories for just about any occupation that is outside of a corner office. We did not interact with the staff at all, but we were greeted upon entering. I probably won't shop here unless I have a need for a high visibility day-glow yellow, orange, or green t-shirt. read more

When I need boots for work I usually go here first and last. I keep hoping beyond hope that a place will open with amazing prices and something that will be comfortable to my dainty princess and the pea type of feet. Instead I just have to go back and settle for what I know works. Timberlands that stay comfortable for at least 2 years. It just sucks that they cost so darn much. Anyway, every time I have been in, the customer service has been quality and as helpful as possible. They are always patient while I am trying to go through my different boots. I have also purchased a few different Carhart items to keep me protected from the elements. They seem to have a pretty good selection of work clothing, maybe even the best selection in town. Lots of different work gear and apparel even some cheesy looking hard hats are out for purchase. Prices are pretty much MSRP as far as I could tell. So no "killer savings" here, but you get what you pay for, service and the convenience of shopping in your home town from people who have a little better knowledge of the items than the nearest walmart. Parking here is plentiful and not an issue at all. read more

Great selection of work wear from Dickies to Carhartt and my all time favorite Levi's; plus Boots and Shoes too! Whether you're in Construction, Service or even Health Care they have us covered! They offer friendly, excellent and knowledgeable service. Thank you Ted! You and your staff made the drive up from Mammoth worth it for two very weary bartenders in need of work gear. We don't have a brick and mortar option in our town and Reno is our closest option. Thank you again and see you next time! read more

Purchased a pair of steel toed boots that cut up my toes, and my heel. In a return attempt, I was told to take store credit or take the loss. This was on a pair of boots that the store sold as featuring a 30 day money back guarantee as part of DeWalt's comfort guarantee which also promises that their boots are as comfortable "as your favorite pair of skate shoes." Misleading sales tactics, horrible customer service, horrible management. read more

This venue fills a need for all those who work outdoors and need quality coveralls, coats, socks, and boots. It's a decent sized store with a great number and variety of products. One would come here simply to get what they need, and he/she could get assistance from one of the friendly and knowledgeable clerks, checkout rather smoothly, and be on his/her merry way...perhaps whistling or singing "hi ho" on the way out the door. I have come here for returns and it is easy and hassle free. I have also been here with the hubby as he looked for boots and socks during a cold winter. The manager was patient with his questions and concerns, and we were able to walk out with the right product for his feet. I'm sure we will be back again. "Hi ho, hi ho....." read more

Excellent customer Service. I had bought some work shoes, wore them twice, and they did not fit properly. They have been sitting at home for the last 2 months. I called today to ask if they were returnable. The manager, Ted, told me to come in and he would take care of me. I went in, and as easy as pie I walked out with an new, wider proper fitting pair of work shoes. thanks Ted read more

I can't say much in regards to their merchandise which I only looked at their woman shoes. And for that they have a small collection of maybe 12 shoes for women. So not much to offer women in the "work world." My low rating is due to their poor customer service. I have only been there twice but each time was the same bad experience with different people. I want to first say that the store is small and they seem like they get very few people in the store. When there are people in the store the employees just seem to try to avoid the customers by not offering much help. They are constantly trying to hide so they can go on their phones and when they are out they talk unprofessionally about stuff like the store gossip. I will not be going back. I found Red Wing has a better selection of shoes and a lot better customer service. read more

Very friendly staff. They had the FR gear that I badly needed. Unlike other places with there very limited selection. The girls there are attentive and friendly. Will be returning here for my winter gear very soon. read more

My Woman went to work world to get steel toe boots as newly required at her work. There were NO shoe sales pros at al, only a cashier. What most folks don't understand is: Toed work boots are NOT to be fitted the same as a regular shoe. One might get away w/a 1/2 size difference { larger } in a regular " soft " shoe but NOT a steel or composite shoe. A full 1 size increase is indicated in a shoe of this type. Not knowing this both my Lady AND her friend got shoes that looked good and felt good { at the time of the " try on " }. Once they were put into service however the picture changed drastically, including quite a bit of pain. I took her to a real shoe store and we remedied the problem, but if work world would have had a pro on hand instead of just using the " WalMart " merchandising model we could have saved the pain.... If one needs work shoes there are other places not as far out Virginia St that are far superior..... read more

I've been shopping here for years and for good reason. Ted and his staff will bend over backwards to help you find what you need and if they don't have it they'll get it for you. Customer service is a priority for them and is why I always come back. read more

The selection of steel toed shoes was great, but that wasn't what we were looking for. There wasn't much in the way of work shoes without steel toes. Also the selection of lined coverall bibs was lacking, there weren't varying sizes and the staff seemed more concerned with whatever teeny-bopper gossip was going on rather than helping the customers in the store. Disappointing. read more

got some new work pants here. my mom keeps calling it Real Work. I have stopped correcting her.

If you need forest green pants and are a petite women don't go here. Also they have a very limited selection on women's clothing and boots in general. I recommend Uniformity! read more

First of all hands down goes to them For customer service... they really take care of there customers they make u feel like family!! Just yesterday I took my boots in because the bottom of the outsole had a big crack right across each side and the stitching was coming off, sadly I was out of the 90 day warranty the main boss there checked my transactions with them and notice I was a regular customer where I buy all my summer and winter work clothes. He told me he usually just gives a 15-20% off on the other pair of boots when out of warranty but because of the reason I'm a regular there he told me to get another pair of boots just as long as I didn't go over the price of the boots I had purchased witch was 149.99, I just had to pay the taxes on the other pair I choose witch it was some carharts boots! That was really nice of him. You really get your money's worth here !!!!! Great customer service great quality clothes and boots!! I recommend this place all day everyday!!!! read more

Was pleasantly surprised with their selection of specific clothing. Had arc flash rated fire safety clothing which was the only place in town I could buy off-the-shelf. Also seemed to have a good selection of work boots and general high visibility work clothing. read more

They don't always have everything needed but for the most part they have a lot of stock. For example I was looking for a Carhart or similar jacket and the pickings were very slim. Other than that this place is great. I could have went on an off day or something as well. read more

Work world rocks. I've been coming to this store for years now and have yet to be disappointed. The store is always well kept and has a great selection of work wear (mainly men's). I'd recommend it for the selection and prices alone. Additionally, the owner knows how to keep a business going and please his customers. They were out of a size vest I wanted and he ordered it for me with his next shipment then called me personally when it came in. A few weeks later I purchased several flannel shirts from the store and despite following the washing instructions, both shirts shrunk at least one size. Instead of hassling me and causing an ordeal, the gentleman at the front desk allowed me to choose two new shirts in a size larger and let me go on my happy way. If you haven't already, check this place out! read more

Good selection of flannels and Carhartt Jackets. Good service from the store clerks. What I like about this store is you can try on all of their work gear and make sure it fits properly instead of buying online and having to possibly return an item. Prices are good overall. Decent selection of boots too although didnt buy any. read more

Looked all over town for Dickies scrubs in ciel blue. Finally found them here. And at a great price! Sadly they only had one pair in stock (could be because my size is xs) but they're ordering more for me. Staff was friendly and helpful. read more

Manager there is awsome, i brought a pair of boots back after two weeks cause they hurt my feet, he hooked me up with some that fit, thanks man... D.Hicks read more

The girls working here did not try to assist us in any way and sat there and gossiped about some nonsense the entire time.

Top notch Customer Service! Doesn't get any better than this! Being an older woman needing work boots was a little intimidating for me to go purchase. Walked in and was immediately comfortable, lots of smiling faces! Thank you! read more
