I've never received a more thorough evaluation of my footwear needs. Their personal, non-hurried approach to service is supported by high-tech diagnostic equipment. So my new shoes are a great fit for my feet and my lifestyle. Thank you Andy. :) read more

Walked in and was greeted by Sunny, he was great and walked me through the process and got my foot sized properly. He took the time to educate me on new shoe technology and found me a pair of Vasque's 7000 Juxt that fit and feel great. Such a difference to have a properly sized shoe! Even saved me some money and added the speed laces for me. I will be back! read more

I highly recommend this local foot store. They are knowledgeable, friendly and service oriented. I had previously gone to Benders (don't!!) and then went to try this store that I had never been in before. The salesperson was amazing. (Turns out his family owns the store.). He helped me find the perfect shoe for my very difficult to fit feet. Easy parking. I can't believe I had never shopped there before. But I certainly will again. read more

Jim aka "lifesaver" came to my rescue when I forgot (or thought I forgot) my running shoes the evening before Grandma's Half Marathon. After a 9:05pm urgent phone call to the Expo, Jim was willing to sell me a pair of Brooks over the phone as well arrange a late night pick up for me. After locating my long-lost shoes, Jim was quick to refund my purchase and was gracious for my business - even if it lasted only 15 minutes. I'd recommend them for their service and commitment to customers alone - even after never having stepped foot inside the store! read more

I went in to the store not knowing what to expect and I was blown away at how great this store is - from the outside I didn't know what to think but I was greeted right away, fitted for the proper shoes and the staff even helped put on my shoes - GREAT customer service! I will definitely going back for more shoes and just to check it out more read more

Jeannie Thoren and her husband Tom Haas opened up shop in December 2009. I happened on them as I…read moremade my way through Lionshead trying to find a pair of ski boots that fit. As it turns out they specialize in women's ski boot fitting. Jeannie was attentive to the challenges I faced and the injury I incurred using improperly fit boots earlier in the week. She has spent much of her career explaining "how the anatomical differences between men and women affect ski performance and how gender-specific equipment makes a difference." I can attest to her exceptional level of customer service and commitment to finding the equipment that works. She has fitted me in several different boots and let me demo the equipment on the mountain to assess the performance and comfort. With each new pair of boots, Tom adjusted my bindings and sent me on my way. She also carries women's clothing, hats, goggles, helmets, and gloves and provide ski tuning. Her recent trip to the ski show in Denver netted some super cute hats and mittens. Theirs is a comfortable and friendly shop and you are likely to find yourself chatting with other customers and those who drop by to say hi to the owners. They are clearly well-known in the industry. I intend to return tomorrow on my quest to find the right boots for me.
