Alas, so nice to not have to cross the border for some good quality beaver wear. I first bought a long purple hooded sweater from the Root store in B.C., a while back, but now it's so convenient having this Root store nearby, that's if you can snag a parking spot on the street, otherwise it's a structure parking and a little trek to get here. I have only bought workout hooded sweaters from here in the past, always good, solid quality threads. Will outlast most relationships. :) read more

We have always had a good experience shopping here. The location is great/terrible at the same time. Located on Maple in downtown Birmingham is great, but parking is a challenge especially in cold/rainy weather. The clothing is very high quality, and the staff is very friendly. Great products, but you need to be patient when making the trip. It's worth it though.... Enjoy! read more

Great place to stock up on Canadian Roots gear - the sale rack at this location never disappoints and the staff is always helpful and friendly! read more

I've purchased one or two things from Roots while in Toronto and low and behold there's now a store in downtown Birmingham? Yay! They have the best sweatshirts ever. It's somewhat ridiculous how much I'll spend on good lounging gear, but considering the cold climates in Michigan, it's an excellent excuse. The store is located next to my other favorite store west elm. The space is somewhat sizable with their signature lodge cabin look and fixtures and nesting tables filled with warm, cozy goodness. They also have a great sale section towards the back which is always a good idea to check out, and they of course have their 'impulse buys' aka socks near the register. I'm a sucker for thick socks and they carry a good variety of over the knee and leg warmers in a variety of fun colors and patterns. A fun store to stop into when in the area. read more

Roots - Birmingham - I love their reusable bags :-) - Leather Goods Near Me - Birmingham, Michigan

The Roots brand is great. Comfortable, warm, and cozy sweats are what I usually come into the store seeking. My main source of dissatisfaction is the customer service- or lack of. If you ask for help, they will provide, but they NEVER seem pleasant or happy to provide the help. "Grumpy" is the adjective I would use to describe the overall feel from the employees. I have been coming back to this store for 10+ years because it's local and the product is great, but if I could buy the Roots product at another vendor (to avoid the employees), I would do so in a hot minute. read more

Hate to admit, but have been shopping at the Birmingham location since the high school Root shoes fad of the 1970's. Always excellent service, and comfortable cottons and flannels for the whole family! Our go to store. Thanks Roots! read more

I bought a purse from Roots for two reasons: 1) they're made of high quality leather and 2) they're made next door in Canada (try finding a company that doesn't outsource their purses to China, I dare you). This particular location is nice enough - clean, well-stocked, and the staff was friendly and helpful. I think I lost my phone when I was trying on purses though :( ETA: They found my phone :D read more

I have always been a fan of Roots clothing. Their clothes are rugged and durable. I have owned some Roots items for more than a decade (yeah, I should clean out my closet). Plus, I like their beaver logo. To me, Roots is like the Gap of Canada. There is not much to say about this location itself since it is the only location I can get to without pulling out the passport. However, the staff is always friendly. read more

I am not Canadian and I generally buy American, but this place is the best exception! Great outdoor selection of sleek styles for those cold winter nights. They also have leather bags and unique gift items. The staff is friendly and is willing to find multiple types of flannel plaids! read more

roots boots. roots jacket. roots sweats. roots hats. gimmie some roots! i lusted over the coveted "roots boots" in 5th grade...i wanted the black suede ones...and i finally got them that christmas. i also lusted after the totally hip in the late 80s-early 90s roots varsity jacket. instead i settled for the cheaper limited too version (boo) but a few years later, i wouldn't wear that thing again...i'm sure. the roots jackets are so cute on the lil ones anyways...like my lil cousin antonia (we got her a mini purple one back in '96). this store is an institution in birmingham. they started outfitting campers (tamakwa, tanuga, tamarack, etc) and ended up being the go-to spot for sweats and outdoor clothing. i have probably 10 roots sweatshirts (probably 3 from the early nineties) and i will never give them away, they're the softest, coolest sweats. i just bought a fur bomber hat that is saving my head this chillier-than-shit '08 winter. also, when they have a sale (and if it includes any of their sweats) jump on it! some of the usual roots signature stuff never goes on sale...but i've had my roots gear so long, the price is worth it...trust me! read more

Roots is great, I have been shopping at Roots since the mid-70's and the quality is out standing, they still make the earth shoe, just has to be special ordered, and they are the best and last for years and years. Clothing is great and high quality as well, Roots is a Outstanding store for Casual sports wear, and more...! Tiffany and her staff also do a great job in assisting with any questions and are Very Helpfull all around great service ! read more
