Trailhead is one of the BEST Kingston businesses on Princess street. I'm not a frequent customer…read morehere, probably because I like to think I'm outdoorsy, but really I'm a outdoorsy-wannabe, but every time I do visit Trailhead I have such a great experience. First off, the staff are extremely helpful. They don't get all up in your business when you browse, but when you need help or want to ask questions, they've got the knowledge and they love to share it. Everyone who works here is a clear sporting enthusiast, and it shows through in product knowledge and passion for where they work. Second, they really want their customers to love and enjoy the outdoors as much as they do. Case in point, I was with a friend who wanted to rent skates recently, but we arrived at the store at the exact time they were closing up shop for the day. Defeated, we stood outside, wondering if there were any other solutions nearby (nope). One of the staff members noticed and came out saying, "I know exactly what you need - Skates! - and we're going to make sure you can go skating today!" We had rental skares within 5 minutes and were happily off to the rink. Taking the time to serve us even though they were close is a small gesture, but one that I won't soon forget. I will however try to make it there during operating hours. :)

I'll never step foot into trail head again. While discussing with the manager why the store refuses…read moreto take a visa debit card (he insisted that the bank charges too much although I haven't been refused in any other stores) I over heard the a sales clerk try to sell bear spray to a lady who was afraid of dogs. I found the staff & management unhelpful and unfriendly and the prices high. I go to Bushtaka now for more reasonable prices and friendly customer service.

We happened to walk into this store after a late breakfast. My wife found a pair of shoes (of…read morecourse!) and I made an ass of my self by asking the salesperson for a beer after he offered a blind lady a glass of water. Big yucks! Actually, aside from the fact that this is a very nice store, carrying some very expensive but well-made brand name shoes, the service that several of the sales staff provided to the above mentioned blind woman and (yes, true) her blind daughter who were out for some new shoes, was beautiful to watch. Kudos to Conrad, who dealt with us and the blind lady with humour and elan. So, for lots of sales staff for such a small store, for a great collection of shoes and for excellent service to all concerned -- 5/5!
