REI in Durham is my go to place for trail running shoes…read more They have great brands like Altra and Saucony to name a few. I've always gotten excellent service while shopping here for running shoes. Maddy has helped me on two different occasions with picking out shoes, she does a phenomenal job at suggesting shoes and giving you time to make decisions and not making you feel rushed. Great value on trail items like backpacks, shoes, socks, bikes/biking gear and other items. Definitely check out REI in Durham *I live in Raleigh but, travel to Durham to go to this REI.

It is high quality and very comfortable which is what REI produces all the the time. My brother loves REI and swears by their product because it has great value for the price and lasts a long time. The service is Ok at REI and the staff are very knowledgeable about the products. They are willing to help you out and answer any questions you may have on their clothes. REI has a wonderful selection of products and is very top notch quality 100% on all of their products. They are a bag free store which is great for the environment. REI is a great store and you get a valuable product for the price you pay for on whatever you purchase at the store. That is all I have to say about REI.

They didn't, but were great in directing me to a shop that was able to fill my needs about 10mins away. They have a HUGE selection of Patagonia goods as well as camping/living essentials like Yeti tumblers. I found the better sweater in the color I'd been eyeing for a while and was able to get it! All the brands that I saw are QUALITY stuff- brands that stand behind their goods when life happens. Lots of great outerwear options whether you're hiking a trail or just down Franklin St. Really great and friendly staff. Will definitely be back to browse more.

We rented a canoe from Frog Hollow for a couple of hours on the weekend. It was SUPER affordable,…read morecheaper than anywhere I've ever been and much cheaper than renting a boat by far. They provided everything we needed (paddles, life jackets) and gave us a quick 60 second refresher on how to use the canoe before we headed off. We were at one of the channels off of Falls lake, and they gave us advice on which direction was the best to go off towards. It was pretty hot out, but being so close to the water made it cooler and the shade lowered the temperature a lot too. Along the way, we saw turtles, fish, and a couple of herons. The whole experience was very peaceful, relaxing, and low-stress. It was a great day to spend a warm morning outside, although I would recommend booking an earlier or later time in the summer since around noon there isn't really much shade on the water. Will definitely come back for another paddle!

Frog Hollow is a gem for paddling enthusiasts!…read more As someone in my mid-40s learning a young person's sport, I've had two incredible 1-on-1 sessions with Jer on flat water, with another scheduled this week and I can't recommend them enough. Jer's technical expertise, constructive criticism, and what i consider endurance training have been invaluable to build confidence for white water. It's easy to think you understand the sport by reading, watching, and listening, but reality hits when you're underwater and upside down. Jer has been fantastic in sharing both the positive and realistic sides of whitewater paddling, making the experience both challenging and rewarding. I still remind myself "nothing worthwhile comes easy at first". Lastly, if you're looking to improve your skills, fix bad habits, and gain a deeper understanding of the sport, Frog Hollow is the place to be! Thanks, Josh

The service there was pretty decent and the staff were nice /helpful. My favorite part about the shop is just the fact that they put so much energy into how it looks. There are scenes everywhere with taxidermy and replicas. Geese and ducks "flying" (hanging) near the ceiling. And they do have a large fish tank there with live fish. Overall I feel like you pay for the experience when you are there too

"Manager" Roger is a complete tool! I was #15 in a line of 16 patrons trying to check out at 4:00…read moreon a Friday. There was only ONE cashier. I asked the greeter (drowsy guy in beige and white) if he could call a manager to get some more cashiers. About 5 mins later Roger waddles up and is all confrontational, "Did you need something?" I said, "Yes, wanted to let y'all know we're over a dozen deep in line here." "We're working on it," barks Roger with a condescending tone. Then does an about face. To their credit and being fair, they did get another two cashiers a while later. But why the attitude, why the aggressiveness? I was just trying to spend my money in this establishment and I get bad-vibed? I love Bass Pro, but today's experience really drives home the fact that a good shopping experience is about a lot more than price and selection. Crappy employees can take what could have been a positive and turn it memorably negative.

We came to Triangle Rock Club Durham for a climb and sign event and had a great time! After filling…read moreout waivers and doing orientation, we climbed for about an hour and a half. The space is large, clean, and has a lot of variety for different levels of climbers. The rental shoes definitely run small. You may need to size up anywhere from half a size to even two sizes bigger. Just something to plan for. It's family friendly, but safety is really important, so make sure kiddos aren't running around since climbers are focused and people are moving around everywhere. I do wish there was a designated section just for beginners and kids. That said, I really appreciated how each color route is clearly labeled (by numbers) from easy to hard. It helps you know what you're getting into before you start. One note: the rocks are tough on nails. Mine aren't even long, but gripping some of the holds was tricky, so keep that in mind if you have longer nails. Overall, a great workout, a safe environment, and a fun way to try something new! We'll definitely be back.

Bull City Running restored my faith in getting shoe fittings! After watching me run, the lady fitting me brought out Brook's Ghosts. I did not love a previous pair of Brooks, but I tried them anyway. I really liked the shoes, but when I was nervous, she grabbed a few other shoes for me to try. I ended up back to the Brooks, but it was great that she wanted to make sure I was comfortable. You run outdoors here, not on a treadmill. This is great because I only run outdoors, and I don't run the same way on a treadmill. Bull City Running is super COVID safe. In August, they had all of the doors open and masks and hand sanitizer at the door. I was the only customer in the store. I will definitely buy my next pair of running shoes here.
