Found some hiking shoes that didn't cost an arm and a leg, plus they gave me a military discount using my veteran's card...yippee! The two women workers that helped me were courteous and friendly. Store was really quiet.
Update! Denali Outback Men's Hiking Boots
With a discount, bought these gray and black hiking boots from Big Five for $24.46 on June 17, 2023. Not something I would usually buy, but they were stylish and very comfortable; plus I needed something for work. In October, only five months later, there was a hole in my left boot, on the left side not far from my pinky toe! I was really disappointed because I thought these boots would last much longer! Now I am looking for new shoes and it won't be this brand!
