    Carolyn B.

    I've been doing lots of walking during Covid. So much that I wore out my old hiking shoes and wouldn't you know it, they don't make that style anymore. I have wide feet so it's harder to find just the right toe box, plus I want them to be waterproof, too. I'd never been here before, but someone recommended them to me. I spent way more than I had planned, but I left a happy camper. It seems that the shoes have to be the right height around my ankles, too. It they are too high, they rub and that 's no fun. I had someone suggest I wear them for 3 months to make them comfortable. Sorry, but I don't have time for that. My saleswoman had a shoe that felt really good on my feet and she was very pleasantly knowledgeable. Turns out one foot is a little bit larger than another so I still need to find a different shoe, but the service I got here was excellent. Highly recommend.

    There is a decent selection of camping supplies and necessities. Things are a bit pricey. Good location when you're in a pinch.

I also bought a sweater that is my go to for this time of year and I was happy with the price considering the high quality and it doesn't have to be dry cleaned so that's more money that I'm saving. I am 74 years old and have been a customer for many years and I promise when I tell you that I am still wearing things that I bought in the 1980's because LL Bean sells quality stuff

The cashier has not taken off the EAS security tag off our purchase, and it buzzed at the exit. Another store associate dashed after us (we are both seniors), she stopped us in the bitter cold wind and started digging in our paper bag. Then, she turned her back to us and ran somewhere back into the store without talking to us. We were overwhelmed and had to follow her running and maneuvering between the store racks and shelves. While the manager was removing the security tag off our purchase, she said, "Good job" to this store associate. And merely dropped sorry to us. Is that what they consider a "good job" at LLBean's these days? Horrible, awful experience. No manners whatsoever. These rude people have ruined our day, our Birthday spirit, and our holiday. Terrible service and terrible training behind it, if any at all. NEVER EVER will we be visiting there again! Do better with your customer services, Cincinnati, OH LLBean at 5901 E Galbraith Rd, Ste 110, Cincinnati, OH 45236.

    eridian pants are awesome, but rip easy. 5.11 caught my attention because of the guarantee to…read morereplace anything that rips along the seams. The first pair, the guy at this location told me just to grab a replacement, which made me spend a few hundred on shirts because of good business practices. This time, the guy refused to honor the guarantee on the pair included in the picture. Claiming normal ware and tear on the back of the jeans clearly on the middle inseam! I told him after a year goes by, I'll stop bringing them back in. Already ordered replacement ridge pants that hopefully hold up better (not as light as Meridian unfortunately). I'm not looking for handouts, but want to get my money out of them so it's not a complete waste (I have all the colors). Now I've lost a lot of confidence in the company as a whole. I have a lot of their clothing, backpacks, and accessories. Before, I was assured that the quality is so good that they'll stand behind it. Now that they're not, the quality must be causing them too many problems to keep up with that assurance. Third picture is the size of pants compared to fresh order made a month ago. I haven't added on in size which would be a meaningful denial as well. He just kept repeating the same thing like one of my toddlers. Just doing what he's told is my guess.

    Never purchase online from this company. They promise to deliver the merchandise in 3 to 4 days.

I called the store and the retail worker said to call their warehouse, of course they don't work on weekends....and it's not the store's problem. A very dissatisfied and defrauded customer.

    Have you been to Dicks on Montgomery lately? I'm sure you have as you're all runners out there...I…read moresee ya. Lol Well yesterday the hubby and I stopped in. For many seasons I've been wanting a particular shoe. Not just any shoe-the most comfortable shoe to walk in. And let me just say...it's been elusive to me. Not all of you though because I see ya wearing them and I always say, "Hey! Where did you buy your Hokas around here?? I've been everywhere!" (Obviously I haven't but in my mind I have since I have a nice supply of other brands that didn't make the cut in my closet on my hunt for this brand, lol. Call me a collector.) Before I get to the point-I promise I will, let me just say it's been a couple years since I've been in this Dicks. But last time I was, they didn't have any Hokas, and they had a walking track around their shoes area. After doing a Google search as I was out and about, the hubby was tired of hearing how my feet hurt and starting looking for shoes stores so I thought I should participate. The search kept saying only 3 stores carried them and two of them were in KY. One e of those was Dicks. So we decided to drive to our local one. The point: (Told ya I'd get here ) Making my way to the back of the very clean and organized store, the heavens parted and I heard angels singing-it was really a baby crying but I snapped to reality rubbing my eyes in disbelief at what I was seeing! Hokas!! And not just a few pairs-a whole designated section of them! I promptly shoved my hubby and the crying baby out of the way, calm down this is all mental lol, and made my first pick. Scanned the shoe's barcode in a scanner, and out popped a young man almost instantaneously to serve me. Was it meant to be? Ohh yes. The comfort, the immediate relief on my feet! I was being propelled forward to walk as if these babies were one with body. I boxed them up. Said yes to the shoe. The hubby said aren't you going to try on others? I said, "I found the truth. There is no other. Now go pick yourself out a pair." Lol He did. And he tried on two just because he likes to overachieve. But he settled on the first pair he tried on which, by the way, was the same model as mine only mine are cooler looking. He found the truth too. And the prices were comparable to what's out there so I was happy! Do you want the same experience? Do your feet hurt in your other expensive gym shoes?? Dicks on Montgomery Rd has it. Don't walk-run, but only after you visit Dicks. *Disclaimer: No actual baby was harmed in the writing of this review.

    Okay experience we got to the cleat section to get me cleats for baseball. And we waited so long,…read moretheir were two people working and a lot of customers we had to sit around for a while. Then they told us the shoes I wanted they didn't have two times and had to wait even longer. Some really crappy service. We didcied to look in the app and we saw the shoes and finally we we got directions on what to do. We did it we got the shoes finally. Final review 2 stars, still go to dicks it's just my experience.
