The people who served me were pleasant enough. When I bought my Ryka shoes 2 weeks ago, I asked…read morethe salesperson if I could return them if necessary. She said I had 30 days. 2 weeks later the shoes started fraying at the lace holes. When I tried to return them they said I couldn't because they were not in good enough shape to resell. They were starting to tear! That's why I wanted to return them. So, make sure you don't plan on returning your shoes if you purchase them here. You will not be satisfied with their return policy.

Blonde lady didn't even look at us until she asked if we wanted a bag after the checkout was done. Weirdly threw the shoes back into the box after removing the security tag. We just had to laugh it off after walking out of the store. Shoe selection right now for women is meh unless you like athletic shoes, crocs, or suede boots with a chunky heel.

Ordered a board from them and it took three weeks to come in…read more Let me explain how this is a 5 star review: the board they had in stock had dents and dings, and they did not want to send that out to me. Instead, they ordered a new one from Sector 9 to make sure I had a perfect board and wasn't given the "beat up floor model." Josh was very responsive to my emails, and very clear with his communications and the steps they were taking. They value their customers and it is very evident by how I was treated. I cannot recommend them enough, and I cannot wait to make future purchases through them since I reignited the spark of skateboarding in my life.

Meh. Have to agree on other reviews about the vibe. It' feels somewhat cold and off, though the…read moreowner has never hesitated to offer help and has been polite. The prices are on the good side of fair. Shopped here regularly before. Busted a hump to get to the store for a quick purchase, only to get a disingenuous "sorry" as they closed up early and the door literally got locked in my face by the second employee - the first just stood in the doorway and stared blankly back at me tongue tied, physically blocking me at the entrance as I tried to go in. As if I was supposed to be psychic and just understand I wasn't welcome even though it wasn't closing time. It was weird.

It was also great that the employee didn't try to shove the most expensive item into a sale, but rather listened to what was needed. The product was so quality, that we didn't mind the prices, being there was only a minimal difference between their store, and your cheap box store prices. Should we ever need anything else for our outdoor life style, we will look no further than this great little store.

I find the previous review about "snobby employees" extremely unlikely--I have found nothing but amazing people every time I've been in. Tyler in the Bike Shop was great, answered some noobie questions. The whole team was eager to help, super knowledgeable, helpful with all of my outdoor needs. I was surprised how good a selection of footwear and clothing they had too--and not just for "outdoors", but athletic wear, etc! Ive already spent several hundred here, and this has become my new favorite in Chico. Before you go outside, camp, hiking, a day of the lake, snow sports, or biking--THIS is the place to go!
