I happened to walk by last week during a shoe sale where it was an extra 40% off of their sale shoes. It was end of day on the last day of this but I was still able to score Birkenstocks and two new balance sneakers for around $130. INSANE. The employee helping us was super helpful and kept going to the stock room to see if they had additional sizes. I appreciated the effort and the fact that he didn't seem annoyed.

This place has plenty of room to paddle and an amazing view of the city. Such a good view that your girlfriend will ask you to take photos of her in front of the city while on the water and you clutch her phone with a death grip knowing if you drop it it may be your death. Only issue here is limited parking. Don't park on the sides of the road. Tried that got a ticket. So come early and get a spot in their tiny parking lot or über on over here. Austin PD makes bank on parking citations from this business, wait to support the city of Austin.

The store has a nice layout, and you can easily find what you're looking for. I met Leslie, who was super helpful and patient. She recommended I spend a few minutes walking around the fitting area to get a good feel of the boot to determine the best fit. I'm in between sizes depending on shoes, brand and design (6-6.5 US Women) and typically wear lightweight socks with all year-round boots. To my surprise the Blundstone Original Chelsea # 510 in size 3 (AU/UK) = 36 EU fit just right. I wore my new boots to Vancouver, and they were comfortable right out of the box, no need to break them in. I signed up for their membership and can't wait go to back to pick up a few more things--overall solid experience.

Your Urban Basecamp for Outdoor Everything…read more The REI in downtown Austin is the kind of place that somehow makes you want to go camping immediately, even if you walked in just to browse. It's well-stocked, well-organized, and staffed by folks who clearly live and breathe the outdoor life. What makes it great: Excellent layout -- spacious, easy to navigate, and doesn't feel overcrowded, even when it's busy. Gear is thoughtfully displayed, and the store flows well from one department to the next. Helpful staff -- genuinely friendly and super knowledgeable. Whether you're getting fitted for boots, comparing bike racks, or just looking for the best water bottle, they take the time to walk you through your options without upselling. Well-stocked -- From high-end hiking gear to commuter-friendly bike accessories, it's got a little of everything. Great selection of clothing, trail snacks, and even travel gear if you're about to hit the airport. Bike shop in the back is a hidden gem. Solid service, quick turnaround, and honest recommendations. Bonus: Located in a convenient area with easy parking (which is a huge win downtown). Feels like a hub for the local outdoor community -- check the events board or just chat with someone about where to hike, paddle, or ride next. Bottom line: Whether you're prepping for a thru-hike, a weekend at Barton Creek, or just commuting across town, REI Austin is a reliable and inspiring place to stock up. Great gear, even better people.

They are super nice about special-ordering and I found a ridiculous rhinestone-studded collar for my Gilbert T. Hounddog that I just love. Yeah, my dog is spoiled!!
