I actually just got back from 40 miles of hiking in Nevada and after the last hike I pitched my 8 year old shoes and torn backpack. This is a great place to find high quality outdoor items like coats, hats, hiking shoes, sleeping bags, ski wear, glasses, etc. They carry the top name brands and are super helpful. I have purchased many of my cold weather gear and camping, hiking supplies from here and have never been disappointed. The only wish would be that they would carry more of it. Lol. Enjoy!

Two of the girls working there were very rude and sassy to me and didn't kindly explain to me that customers weren't allowed where I was at. The Birkenstocks were in an open enough area so I thought I could look at them. These two girls treated me like a nuisance and I was very embarrassed. I will not be returning back to this store.

The staff are so friendly and knowledgeable, they are very patient and explaining different products and looking up inventory and orders. They spent so much time with us to make sure we are comfortable with what we are purchasing, they have all kinds of things including clothing, tents, shoes, kayaks, tackle boxes...you name it! Best place in the area for sure!! Another huge thing for us is that we bought a losing system to help get a heavy fishing kayak up on my SUV, they have a guy help us to try it out to make sure my husband is comfortable doing it and if he isn't they would let us return it..we love that they really care and not just here to make another dollar!

From the minute you walk in, you'll feel the vibes of a cozy cabin in the woods. Climb in a tent, or swing in a hammock. - This place has it goin on! The owners and staff are all so welcoming, friendly, and knowledgeable! They really make you feel like family. From the community events and guided outdoor adventures they are always something fun going on. I'd venture to say this just might be my husband and I's favorite little spot/shop in Lafayette. There is nothing else quite like it!!!! It's truly a special little treasure to have in our community.

My daughters and I each left with shoes that were a perfect match for our feet and ankles. Teenagers can definitely be picky, but the worker never once complained or rushed us--despite the many pairs they tried on. He was patient, knowledgeable, and made the whole experience easy and enjoyable. We were also pleasantly surprised to find that the shoes were actually cheaper here than online--which made supporting a local business feel even better. Highly recommend this place to anyone looking for quality footwear and amazing service!

Everyone that I've encountered at this location are so nice and helpful. Recently I came in for shoes but was immediately distracted by the pink Yeti limited edition display. Drool. I seriously need all the pink Yeti stuff, right?! A girl working in the front felt my pain and we debated selling organs and shit to get all the pretty things. After the bonding fest I got serious and found some great shoes and a spiffy new LSU tee which were both on sale. The clearance section is always fun to look through and the dressing rooms are clean and organized at any given moment. If you need Louisiana girl gear, go to Academy!

They carry horse & dog supplies, farm-type hardware, animal medications, hunting gear, outdoor cooking items, everything that the big chains neglect. As in my case, a variety of pecan "crackers". May also have some building item supplies. Very large paved parking areas, nice salesfolks, decent prices. Slow down near the RR Tracks, as it is very easy to bypass "Railside's" entry driveway.
