    So I used to only go to focus across the street, but the owner is a bit temperamental, and even…read moreheckled me about things I wanted him to order me prepaid. Since the new pro skateboard manager Shawn has taken over at Zumiez it's the only place my son and I go, we spend a lot of money on boards, wheels, trucks, bushings, so forth. I make custom boards, bushings and even rails and other hardware, so take that into account here. Shawn has provided not only friendly customer service, making us all feel like family when we walk in each and every time, but true insight on the parts we buy, how they will ride, and tips on skating including the shoes we have bought. This man is a true treasure, and the best manager I've seen in any of the two Zumiez in town since 2008! Some of the managers in the past where very unwelcoming, I've since had my faith restored in this shop and it's now my favorite!

    I will never purchase ANYTHING from this store again EVER. Yesterday I purchased a pair of shoes…read morefrom Zumiez at the East Towne store in Madison, WI. When I returned home I checked my bank account online. The store had charged my credit card $118.50 TWICE.. for ONE pair of shoes. When I called the store to complain the person I spoke to was rude and told me they would not correct their mistake unless I returned to the store with my receipt - in person. This is no way to treat a paying customer. I do not live nearby the store. What a rip-off. I had no choice but to contact my bank and tell them what the store did to me. My bank has given me provisional credit while they investigate the matter. I would not recommend this store to ANYBODY.

    This is more of a review of Marmot than of Fontana Sports. I bought my first Marmot down jacket…read morehere, and it lasted almost twenty years before the zipper broke. It kept me so warm and toasty in the brutal upper Midwest winters. I discovered the Marmot brand here in the 1990s. Back in the 1990s, Patagonia was not considered as "technical" and as bougie as Marmot and The North Face. Arcteryx either didn't exist or was an obscure brand almost thirty years ago. Now, Patagonia and Arcteryx are off-the-charts insanely priced. Marmot and The North Face are considered "value" brands. In any case, I still buy Marmot; it's better quality and far better value than Patagonia because: 1. Higher down fill power and 2. Higher down fill weight I recently bought a 700-fill down parka from Marmot with 220 grams of down for far less money than a 600-fill down parka with 150 grams of down from Patagonia. I was cold in the Patagonia parka, and it was horribly expensive. I had to return. I also bought coats from Eddie Bauer and from L.L. Bean. Nowhere nearly as warm as Marmot. The Marmot down parka that I recently bought is called the Montreaux Coat, and I've yet to find a warmer coat at such a great price point. It hits my knee, although it's supposed to hit my calf, so that's a bit misleading on their website. It's closer to parka length than coat length. I like that when the zipper broke after almost twenty years of owning my first Marmot down jacket, I called Marmot's Customer Service, they sent me a shipping label, and they said that they would gladly repair the zipper for me, for free. When they couldn't repair the zipper, they just sent me a new Marmot down jacket. So, I wore that complimentary replacement jacket for another ten years before finally buying the Montreaux coat this year almost thirty years after buying my first Marmot down jacket from Fontana Sports.

    i still miss the west side store! Every day!!!!! Wonderful store! Ski tuning was wonderful!read more
