I was excited to here that a secondhand outdoor gear store had opened in Charlottesville, and when…read moreI checked it out yesterday I was definitely impressed! The store was laid out very well and upon walking in you wouldn't have any idea it was a second hand store. They do stock some shirts and clothing etc that's not used, but all the major gear is. They also have lots of nifty stickers for sale to jazz up your car or water bottles. I was really impressed with the selection and quality of the gear they had and it was all at a price point I can get behind! I didn't make any purchases that day because we're about to move and the last thing I want is more stuff to pack, but as we have a baby boy there's a few gear additions we need to get for successful family outings, and so I'll definitely be back to high tor soon for those! Can't wait!

The store is compact, but it really packs a punch with variety. They carry pretty much everything except Lu Lu Lemon branded items which are found in the UVA Bookstore, One thing I will say is branded merchandise has skyrocketed. The Nike T Shirts were $70 and up. The staff was great answering questions which elevated my review. Checkout was extremely friendly and smooth. Based on how nice this experience was I prefer this store to the other.

I am wearing orthotics for the first time and try to pair that did not work. Cashier became a shoe fitter overnight & does not know enough about her stock & how to find the right shoes. I was sold on a pair that is too long and too wide, and told that as long as the laces kept them on my feet, it was fine. Then I started feeling pain around the laces. I tried to take them back once and was convinced to keep them; they eventually showed dirt and we're refused for exchange or refund. I went to Ragged Mountain and got much better service and shoes that fit: an item that is probably in stock at Shoe Fly. I will have to try to sell these shoes that I was "sold on" via eBay.
