The genuine kindness and expert service I received from Simon, and from the other professionals at Trail Bicycles previously, underpin my loyalty.

I notice this during their interactions with me and with other customers in their shop. Their expertise, time, attention, and care keep me coming back, year after year. Thank you, thank you! Deb T

I have ordered special sizes through them and prices are reasonable. Bought new skates, took them for a few test 'rides', but they didn't fit right, so they were taken back no questions asked. New different skates were ordered.

I came here to browse, however, I was not too impressed with their badminton selection sadly but…read morethere were still some other good finds.

Blue Toque is amazing! If you know what you're looking for and the value of what you're looking at,…read morethere are some incredible deals to be had. Everything is priced fairly and the staff have some kinda weird mental inventory thing going on and can direct you to every nook and cranny of the store to discover EXACTLY what you need. I often walk in for one thing and walk out with an arm load of things I didn't know I needed! In that regard, the place is dangerous!

Why buy new? The Blue Toque has a mind boggling cross-section of sports gear. If you are buying,…read morethis should be your first stop. And if you have sports gear that you are not using anymore, consider selling it there (consignment). They also have some new stuff (surplus) on sale. The staff are knowledgeable and helped me buy my downhill skis.

He watched me walk a few times and taught me how important proper footwear is and how it effects basically everything in your body.. I tried on quite a few pairs that he thought would be suitable for me based on the concerns, I however didn't leave with a pair of shoes due to them not having my color/size of the ones I loved, BUT! he ordered them in for me and I will be back to buy them when they come in! I highly recommend if your looking for a good pair of shoes to take the time and do a stroll down to the store and have a look. Just because the ones your wanting aren't in stock, doesn't mean he can't grab them for you! Such a good experience.

The fellow there was unassuming but very knowledgeable. Didn't push me to any particular brand but assessed my gait and feet, factored in my age and mileage (not the same thing!) and offered both advice and a good choice of shoes. Very happy with the Mizuno pair he sold me.
