We checked out the LL Bean Outlet (strike one), the Cadillac Mountain Sports store (strike two), but they recommended Curtis Family Shoes because they sold Crocs which is what I had as my water shoes and they were too small for my kid but he liked them. We made it to the non-chain store and asked about the Crocs and told that they don't carry them anymore because Crocs got rid of all their independent shoe store accounts. I did not know this, but the helpful staffer did make some other suggestions for water shoes. The store has quite the selection of shoes from business to business casual to sneakers to hospital worker shoes and boots and they even had a display size 26 shoe. I should've taken a picture... The staff help was very friendly and accommodating. We ended up finding two different brands of water shoes that met our needs for our kids. The return policy was adequate and I hope we don't have to come back. But if we do, then I'll take a picture of Bigfoot. It's always nice to support an independent business while on vacation.

Confessions of a gear junkie. I buy way too much gear. Period. I'm often suckered in by a good deal…read more(which Alpenglow often has!) but I'm always brought back by great service. I'll skip shoddy service and pay a couple dollars more for good service. There's a reason I have made half a dozen orders from Alpenglow and I'll give you a hint: it's because their customer service rhymes with "awesome." Also rhymes with "excellent." If you don't believe me, log on to their web page, search the specials, save a boatload of money, and check your porch three days later. I promise you won't be disappointed. I haven't been, six times in a row (that's what she said). Thanks Alpenglow, for giving me an excuse to write this review and throw in a mediocre TWSS joke. Now I have gear to go sort, if you'll excuse me.

If I said Alpenglow was the all-time best of all time, your hyperbole-meter might start going off…read more However, your meter would be DEAD WRONG. Throw it in the trash. Wait for a sale at Amazon for a new one, maybe get last years model to save a little bit extra. You don't need the new pink-striped accents on the 2014 model. You might like them, but you don't need them. Anyway, back to Alpenglow. They rock! Countless times, I've searched for a random specific piece of gear online, and who not only has it in stock, but on sale?! Alpenglow. Not only are their sales timely and fantastic, but the customer service has been stellar, and the shippin' is quick and cheap/free. Trying to remember all the things I've bought here, maybe two sets of ice tools, cams, ice screws, pants, backpack, etc etc etc. All time best! EDIT: Incidentally, KennyB below sounds like an idiot. I give him 1 star.

She was patient and kind as we were looking at different options. She was quick to retrieve shoes I wanted to try. Offered alternatives if I was unable to find what I wanted. She shared their selections are limited compared to the other locations. She recommended we also try the Falmouth location for a better variety. She also shared they have a bigger discount selection. This chain has a lot of great brands and options, the prices are not "cheap" most of the shoe brands i liked were $100+. Because of the smaller size of the store, they had limited size options for certain styles. They had a nice selection of shoulder bag and socks. Easy location to find and park.

I picked a pair that would replace the pair that I broke, but the cashier did attempt to upsell me on another pair that was $100 more than the pair I'd picked.

She did offer a bag for the shoes I came in with since I wanted to wear the sandals right away, which was a nice offer. Overall, really appreciate that they were here and the wide selection offered great choices.
