But as I was at the check out with 2 and the hiking boots they had picked out the women at the register was so rude and snarkie that I in turned left with sad little boys. I was not about to let her speak to me like that and purchase the shoes. My oldest was with dad so luckly got a very nice man and the boots of his dreams. 1 worked customer service for many years and would never have used that kind of tone.

They always have exactly what we need for all four family members and the prices are really hard to beat. Just picked up four pairs of shoes, including hiking boots, for less than $200. Also, no matter where I go: if you're friendly with and kind to staff, you'll get that in return.

I came here for the first time ever (even though I am a local & have gone to the Laconia location…read moredozens of times) and was blown away by my experience. I needed a pair of safety-toe shoes for my line of work & was excited to see that they had a very decent selection to chose from. I was also impressed with the fact that they had larger sizes stocked, that are rare to find/come by in almost all of their women's shoes (I'm a size 11). Best customer service experience! The lady was super helpful & polite, was great about answering questions and also was not 'pushy' or in-your-face (as I had experienced at the other couple of prior shoe stores on my hunt). Much bigger selection than the Laconia location as well. I'll be sure to return the next time I need footwear!

I went into Rare Essentials at 5:15 pm on a Thursday...the sales staff listened to my needs and pulled options. I picked out a suit, they hand delivered the suit to a tailor for an overnight hem and it was ready for pick up by 10 am the next day. This is not the place to go if you are looking for a last minute bargain. The clothes are high quality and top of the line -- not everything is on sale all the time. That said, If you have an interview or event at Dartmouth College and your luggage is lost, Rare Essentials is the solution!

While we didn't find the shoe size my wife was looking for, we did find a brand and style she really liked. Additionally, I found a good pair of Nike's on sale for myself, and some shoe spray we needed. It's a great store, and I recommend stopping by, especially for mens boots. Be aware there were only 5 or so size 12's for women, but they still had a nice selection of shoes otherwise.
