The kids they had "assisting" me could not make recommendations beyond "This section has women's boots" and "I like these because they look cool." He couldn't answer basic questions about sizes and had no idea how to even get me into a boot. Any boot. My experience at Mud, Sweat, and Gears was completely different. An experienced skier who is even familiar with offerings at ski lodge in the Pacific Northwest identified not only why I wasn't able to get into most boots, but what features were necessary for me to find a good fit. He set me up with new boots that have adjustable calf section and room for high arches, then customized them with a heal lift and custom insoles. Thank you!!!

This time, I was looking for Sabres playoff clothing and gear. Don't get me wrong, they have all Buffalo based teams and lots of local Buffalo stuff. The people working were very nice, both greeting when you enter and thanking you when you leave with a robust "Go Sabres". I settled on some Sabres earrings and a sweatshirt for some gifts as well as a hoodie for myself. The pricing here is affordable, unlike some of their competitors. If you're looking for something local and Buffalo themed, stop in, there's plenty of options that won't break the bank.

I really appreciated the variety in addition to the fact the store is pretty much set up like a holiday market with various vendors creating gifts/products and the store selling them. I stopped in to check the store out and do some browsing but did not make any purchases and was not greeted or helped by any of the employees so I cannot speak to the service too much. In terms of value, I thought the majority of the prices were reasonable and the DIY/homemade component of many of the products just improved the value! If you have a Buffalover in your life, consider stopping at the Totally Buffalo Store to pick out a gift they'll be sure to appreciate!

Was walking by and the purple stuck out to me and so I decided to enter. The Purple Doorknob name is deceiving. As it turned out to do nothing with repairs or doors but was all about socks. There are hundreds of socks dedicated to every single situation you could think of! Funny socks. Work socks. LGBTQIA+ socks. Socks for friends. Socks to express your moods. Compression socks. Socks socks and more socks! The service is okay. There was one lady at the counter who barely looked up and was mostly doing homework. Because it's perfect for a gift, the price for a single sock runs a bit high. But it is also an eco friendly store and so a lot of the socks are made sustainably. Parking is all street parking. Metered most days. Bought one sock and they are really good quality. Happy with my selection and the store.

There's also plenty of funny sayings on kitchen towels, coasters, socks, and more. The apparel is trendy, but can be kind of pricey. The baby/toddler items are especially swoon-worthy. Thankfully there are sales throughout the year, so be sure to keep your eyes peeled. And follow the store on social media for unveiling of new products, promos, and events. On top of all the great items in the store, the owner is super friendly and always strikes up a convo with customers. This makes for a fantastic shopping experience! Bonus: They are open on Sundays!

I'm so glad that we went in there!!! It's a small chic shop with so many neat things inside. I was in love with the place, as soon as I walked in!!! (I saw a holiday card that said Happy Holidays from your favorite liberal snowflake.) They have so many cute things that you can buy. The owner is really nice. I live in Buffalo and am in love with the city so when I saw a shirt that said living my best Buffalo life, I had to have it!!! She had more sizes than what I realized and I found a perfect shirt for me. I ended up buying it. They have a wall full of socks with fun and sarcastic sayings that I have to come back and purchase. They have cool things to hang on the wall (like a peace sign) that I need. They also have a few sarcastic coffee cups, one of which I definitely need (about being chalant AF.) This place is definitely worth a stop. It's fun and it'll make you really happy just wandering around it.
