This place is SO fabulous!! Not just for bike/fitness fanatics or uber survivalist outdoorsy-types, nope! This gem of a retailer offers specialty as well as everyday products of the utmost durability& workmanship. Online the selection is remarkable, but I gotta say- in the store is where I ve stumbled across the finds that weren t even listed because they d only ended up on the shelves due to a return or exchange- like, for instance my new pair of Royal Canadian shearling cuff fully lined leather boots- in blue velvety leather- a non-option on color selection online-it didn t EXIST... I had fallen in LOVE with the brick red version of these boots on site but alas, as is usually the case with something marked down past HALF what they retail AND consign for, only size 5 was in stock. Backordering is not an option. There were NO other boots, not even for 3-4x the cost that were the quality and beauty- well made functionality that I just KNEW would work-in smoothly. I can t evdn begin.. they have a GEL sole, get chrissakes! I didn t even know that but before purchasing!

Anyhoo- got to store at 8:15& had about $400 in returns to perform. Dropped off at desk& went back to find correct sizes. Like I said, more inventory online& the fact that none of my shoes were avail on shelves proves it. I had to order resizes online- which was okay cause I m sure they just needed a minor tweak. In the interim I tried on some other compromises that I found I couldn t settle for- then, behind a glaringly ugly pair of vegan leather riding boots I saw the shearling cuff- dare I breathe? And then the color! I m a redhead- so u know I m not TRYING to bring more contrasting red on the scene. Dream come true. Found a woolridge sweater- adorable woodland farsyle for only $12.99 and I could ve looked in there for AGES. So today after qdoba- I ran over there at a quarter till- hoping to find an oversized sweatshirt, shades& legwarmers- I got shades, a cozy wool sweater/leggings set (for $5 freaking DOLLARS!!) and a slouchy crochet layering tank- all for <$35! Can t be beat with a nuns yard stick!
