Over the years I have bought a few pairs of very expensive shoes here. If you can find shoes that…read moresuit your needs/tastes, they last forever. I have several. I was told by my coworkers I should try the trendy Hoka since I'm on my feet for 13 hours. I have bilateral deformities in my feet and finding shoes that don't cause blisters in these areas is very challenging. For $160, I was optimistic.... but after one day if wearing my feet were in agony. I put them back in the box with a plan to return in my next free day. In the interim I lost the receipt. Thankfully since they have a record if all my purchases, I was able to get a full refund without any problems.

A few weeks later, the slides started falling apart, so I went to exchange them and waited another 20 minutes, only to be told they didn't have the other slide for the replacement. They said they'd call me when they found it, but I never got a call. I eventually called them, and they told me I should just order the slides instead. They refunded me the exact amount onto a gift card, but shipping cost $10 and took a week. They've done nothing to help, and I'm absolutely pissed and disappointed in their service. I recommend shopping anywhere but Nordstrom Rack.

Das Geschäft ist gross und die Lage in der Innenstadt von Anchorage ist super praktisch, direkt an der Ecke H Street und W 8th Avenue. Bei meinem letzten Besuch habe ich mein Rennpaket abgeholt und der Vorgang war so einfach und schnell! Das Personal ist unglaublich freundlich und kompetent.

Das Geschäft selbst ist immer sauber und gut organisiert und bietet eine fantastische Auswahl an Laufschuhen, Kleidung und Accessoires. Es ist ein grossartiger Ort, um alles zu finden, was Du brauchst. Werde bestimmt wieder vorbeigehen!

When I first started running in 2018, I went to Skinny Raven and had an excellent experience. They…read morewatched me on a treadmill, evaluated my feet, determined whether I needed inserts, and helped me find my first pair of Altras. I couldn't have been happier. Fast forward to fall 2026. I'm retired now and no longer run, but after more than 300 miles of running and walking, my Altras were worn out. I wanted another pair for walking and hiking because I love the zero-drop design and wide toe box. I explained exactly what I was looking for, but the employee helping me abruptly told me these were running shoes and essentially couldn't help me because I wasn't a runner. The interaction left me feeling dismissed. I ended up ordering two pairs of Altras online instead, and they've now carried me for more than 500 miles of walking and hiking. It's disappointing because my first experience at Skinny Raven was outstanding. I wish the same level of service had been extended to someone who simply wanted quality running shoes for walking.

The Alaska Walking Store does not give cash refunds FYI. Most shoes are at least $99, so take your time. Luckily, you ARE able to make exchanges at any of their locations (2, currently).
