L ook, if you're wandering through Montgomery Village and haven't stepped into Sonoma Outfitters,…read moreyou're essentially evolutionarily stunted. It's the local heavyweight for anyone who wants to look like they could summit a mountain, even if the only peak they're hitting is the top of a wine flight later that afternoon. * Premium Selection: They've curated a lineup that hits all the high notes--Paragonia and Kuhl for the rugged soul, and even Vuori for when you want your performance gear to feel like a soft cloud. * The Footwear Holy Grail: This is my primary depot for Olukais and "birkies." Their shoe selection is broad enough to satisfy even the most discerning footbed enthusiast. * Vibe and Locality: It's a cool, local spot that manages to feel authentic in a world of cookie-cutter retail. It's the kind of place where the gear is actually better than your weekend plans. Truly a great store that keeps the Santa Rosa outdoor scene looking significantly more competent than we probably arep

I have been a loyal shopper Sonoma Outfitters since 2017. They stock everything I need, from…read morequality hiking shoes, to water proof rain gear. And all at competitive prices. On a recent gift hunting trip, I walked into a nearby shop to pickup a birthday present for my wife. I found exactly what I was looking for, however I not a single store associate would even acknowledge my presence. I then thought to myself, "I wonder if Sonoma Outfitters would these?" Sure enough they did and had other options as well. And of course, a salesperson helped me navigate through my decision and took the time to answer my every question. I love this store and hope they remain part of our community for decades to come.

Really love the store layout, not sterile, has personality to it, the variety of sports items, apparel, shoes, and was even pleasant enough with the air-conditioning and fans on. Can't give it 5 Stars, though. Would love to, but this place has more items missing price tags than Grocery Outlet! Mentioned it to a couple of the employees, one replied there are "some items" where that is true ( more than some ), and another assured me that the items I was referring to had price tags on them. Yeah, No! At least in the energy bars / nutrition / protein powders / hydration packs, etc. department. Yes, there are some stickers designating price / bar and price / box, which IS helpful, then...a row or two or three of suddenly no price tags. And look at it this way, if you're going to put in the effort to label containers with expiration dates like "5/27" ( which seems like the store did in the spirit of good customer service ), then you CAN actually make the effort to clarify to the customer what item is what price. ( Why does this seem like basic Common Sense here, and if managers are not on top of this problem, then that is on them. I spent too much time walking the aisles, trying to find pricing, asking for help to scan items, discovering more things without pricing. Fix that problem ASAP. Or install a scanner in parts of the store for customers to utilize on their own. ) Overall, check out the store. Here's another reason why: I observed (2) separate employees, one younger 20's male in the running shoe department, one latter 20's female in the ski boot department, personally attending to customers, giving their input on products, doing some old-school sales and persuasion. VERY GOOD to see that. Both had product knowledge, were hands-on, was refreshing to see. Thumbs up!

I explained my foot problems as I had just returned from my Podiatry Dr Visit. Explained my need for the ideal shoe for work and for non-working days. All the while as I'm trying on shoes she set me up to try, she's juggling other customers graciously and successfully, also stocking shoes. I felt very relieved and happy with my purchases. I highly commend her in her customer service and professionalism. P.S. Several other employees on the floor were pleasant and greeting customers. It is nice to see that because it's not pleasant to shop in a store and employees act as if you're invisible. Thank you for having superb employees!! Sincerely, Katherine C.

I came in needing a full "head-to-toe" setup for winter sports, and Brandon provided the kind of elite, professional service that is rare to find. His technical knowledge of snowboards, skis, and bindings is extensive; he doesn't just know the specs, he understands how the gear actually performs on the mountain. What really stood out, however, was his approach. He took the time to listen to my specific needs and concerns, making me feel both seen and heard throughout the process. I walked out (after 2.5 hours that flew by) not only with the right equipment but with the confidence I needed to get back out there. Whether you're a seasoned pro or a beginner, I'd recommend Brandon C. to anyone. He's a true professional who knows his craft inside and out. Thank you again Brandon C and SB and NIN.
