“The people here are so incredibly knowledgeable about all things skiing. Not pushy or upselling at all. I was hesitant to buy new ski’s after Delta destroyed mine, without demoing them first. But I also dreaded wasting time and money renting. I found myself at Strafford village the day before our Vail trip and was so fortunate to meet Andrew. He knew everything about my previous ski’s (that they no longer make and I tried so hard to find used but couldn’t). He steered me towards the ski’s I bought- a different brand even though they carried other skis from the brand I previously had- and really listened to exactly what, where and how I ski to pick out the perfect pair. I asked about a lot of other ones that cost more, and he gave me expert explanations about the differences in the skis. He even figured out how to mount the bindings without me having to go get my boots from home 40 minutes away, because I bought the boots there the year before so he could pull up the info. Today was my first day out west of the season and I’ve never felt so confident and have skied the best I have in my life. I completely credit Andrew and Ski station for our perfect day of skiing. And I’m glad I bought a better ski bag from here to protect my purchase this time. If you have skis you love, don’t trust the soft bags on an airplane.”

Large variety of cards and collectibles with fair prices. The baseball section is what I look at and they have tons of singles and unopened packs, boxes, hobby boxes”
“I went to this store yesterday to buy shoes for my daughter and so appreciate and enjoy the great service. It’s how things used to be with customer service. I’ll be coming back to this store for shoes and athletic clothing. Lovely place!”
“This store is awesome. I brought in a set of used skis to get the bindings changed for my size boots. The bindings were too old and they really hooked me up with new ski/bindings set, very reasonable too. Definitely going back to First Flakes and my new skis are awesome.”
“I love this place! As first time kayak buyer who had an idea of what she wanted, they were helpful with the boat choice and also the accessory choices. Gave good advice without mansplaining or being condescending, didn't try to upsell, understood my specific needs as a woman and as a short person. As a solo female adventurer, these things are important to me. Prices were fair. I'll be back for all my outdoor needs.”
“Fantastic experience this evening at this location. Will, in particular, was amazing. I came in with my daughter to get softball gear and he was extremely helpful, patient and kind. Definitely recommend this location!”
“Pretty standard sporting goods store. Their selection of brands is not so great and heavily leans towards their store brand. Not necessarily a bad thing, just know that some brands e.g. The North Face have only a corner of a portion of the store.”
“Fantastic service provided by Mike and his team at this location. I generally use the Greensboro location but have received nothing but the best service from everyone in this store. Had clubs lengthened and re-gripped, the staff asked questions to make sure my issues were resolved before spending additional money. They listened to my problems, weren’t trying to sell me products or services I didn’t need. Overall just a fantastic experience from everyone involved.”
“I finally checked out the store and was pleasantly surprised. The first thing was their size inclusivity. Everything went from sizes Extra small to 3X. This is a more expensive athleisure store but I was able to find a pair of shorts on sale for $20. The staff was also very nice and they have an extra cash register by the fitting room so you do not have to wait in line. My husband wish they carried men's clothes because of how good my experience was.”
“Love this store! Employees are always polite and I was able to get a teacher discount which was an unexpected surprise. My only complaint, get more clothing for women.”
“Came hear years ago when I started lacross and ive never played on a team before had a great exspierence they were super helpful and had a large variety of reasonably priced equipment, now it's 20 years later and I'll be taking my son there very soon he's about to play a sport for the first time I'm so excited, come full circle glad that you guys are still around but Great customer service and Great people I can see why !!!”
“My experience was accept the shoe I purchased had a slight defect and I returned the shoes I’m a little disappointed be the store nor the employees had anything to do with the defect I would recommend that the salesperson visually alone with the customer inspect the shoes before the purchase of the product especially when it comes to Jordan brand shoes because they are not cheap”
“Athlete's Foot is a fungal infection affecting the skin between the toes. It is a form of ringworm. It's very itchy 😂. Lol I love the name of the store. It's ironic that it's called Athletes foot when it's a shoe store. Anyways back to being serious this place is great! Totally recommend!”

“I was greeted, warmly, as usual on my third visit to this store. The associate, Zach, that I worked with took his time and shared with me all the relevant options for my specific needs. Additionally, I was offered water when I mentioned that I was dealing with a sudden onset of slight vertigo while at the store. The thoughtful, friendly service is consistent each time I visit this store.”
