Sturtevant's

I am so glad we happened to stop here. Brant helped Elliot and I find a great deal on some ski boots and was very thorough in helping us out. He answered questions we didn't even think to ask about! I will gladly give my business again to them, they are awesome. Thank you so much for your help! Looking forward to coming back in.

Great customer service, came in and bought some items off the sale rack 50% off that would have been full price and out of my price range. Great experience, great staff, and just good people overall. This place will outfit with you with all your winter and summer outdoor sports attire, they have great brand selection and custom fitting for your skis, snowboards, and surfboards.

Huge selection of gear. We were blown away at the selection of kids gear. We have been everywhere looking for clearance snow gear for the kids for next season and no place had anything. Then we went here and they had an entire upstairs filled with gear. The staff here was so nice and helpful. I love REI but I will only be shopping here for ski stuff from now on.

I came in late in the day close to closing time and I was very impressed with how everyone in the shop was so patient and helpful! David did an excellent job at finding me the perfect fit for my ski boots. I tried on several different pairs before finding the best fit and he is a true professional. Michael also spent a lot of time helping my wife get fitted for her ski boots and they stayed with us well past their closing time to help make sure we got everything we needed. Needless to say this is the only store I will shop at for my ski gear/equipment as long as I live in the Seattle area. They are amazing people!!

UPDATE: Sturtevant's reached out to me about my poor boot fitting and made a great effort to find me the perfect boot. I was set up with Colin who really knew his stuff, easily the best boot fitting I have ever had. The boot selection at this point was very thin so I didn't end up finding a boot to purchase at this point. However, they did give me a refund on my original boot purchase and a list of great boot recommendations for the next season when the boot stock is better. ------------------- So recently I went in to Sturtevant's, went through their boot fitting process, and bought my first pair of (what I had hoped would be great) ski boots. Today was my first day trying them at the mountain. Turns out, the boots were not so great. My experience at Sturtevant's: Walking into the store I was surprised by their selection, they had so much stuff! I started a boot fitting session with one of their teenager boot fitters, and he matched me with a pair of Techica boots 29.5 with 90 flex (I am 210lbs, 6'2", athletic, and a relatively aggressive skier). The guy seemed dedicated to selling me some boots and was confident that those were the right ones. I went to their counter, bought the boots, and was handed a receipt with a stamp saying essentially "Hey guess what, you can't return these now". So no big deal, they seemed like nice boots. Fast forward one week to today, my first day trying the boots on the mountain. Turns out the boot fitting was not so great... The boots were floppy and would not hold my weight. When I got home my knees felt like I had just squatted a few hundred pounds with the worst possible form. My feet went numb within the first 10 minutes, and I couldn't feel my toes for most of the day. This is with the clasps set as loose as possible and some nice ski socks on. I went into this shop hoping to get fitted to the perfect pair of boots that could last me a good 10 years or so. In the end, I spent $400 on a pair of boots that make skiing a terrible experience. To sum things up: I got sold a pair of useless boots, poorly fitted, and told I would not be able to return them after my purchase. Seemingly, these boots were just "fitted" to me to get rid of boot stock before the season ends. Unfortunately, I can not recommend anyone to this place for ski gear, and would be concerned about any other products that relied on their "expertise". If I were you, I would try one of the Ski shops in Seattle with more experienced boot fitters.
