Merrell

When you expect little and get much that is a pretty cool experience. I needed a new pair of hiking boots in the worse way when in the OBX. However, the timing of shopping the day after Thanksgiving was not so appealing since I do not like crowds. The fact that I needed new boots for weekend hiking outweighed my fear of crowds and closed in space.
So I set off for the Tangiers outlet mall in Nags Head mid morning not knowing for sure what I would find. What I found was impossible parking, the lot was packed. But I am a sneaky in these situations and stalked my victims coming out of the stores like a lion cat watching it’s prey. It only took about 10 minutes and I located someone approaching a car and waited, then pounced.
It just so happen I found a parking spot right in front of the store and proceeded to the sidewalk. The lot was clean, the walk was clean and it was a cool crisp day to buy some new boots, hopefully.
Just as I suspected the store was mobbed with customers. Enough room to maneuver around and located what I was looking for. It took just minutes for a clerck to actually acknowledge me and ask if she could help. Okay… impressed immediately. I told her what I was looking for and she directed me to a few styles, gave me the info on the incredible 50% off.
I am a picky customer, so it did take me a while to figure out design and sizing. But the clerk stuck with me and provided several styles and different sizes all the while it was nuts in the store. After around 35 minutes I was satisfied and told clerk we had a winner. I am sure she was relieved and excited to get a pair of $ 129 boots for $ 65.
Check out by another clerk was smooth and I was on my way in minutes. I would have never expected this experience on such a busy day and was both surprised and impressed with the staff. This is my very first pair of Merrell’s and thus far they have been great.

While I’m not much of a shopper and rarely hit up the outlets, I discovered that there was a Merrell outlet while searching for a new pair of merrells for my daughter.
Both of the store clerks were more than helpful, spending time with us to make sure she was fit properly and we were pleased with her new shoes. While the shoes themselves were pretty pricy the staff made sure that we took advantage of every discount available.

The poster in the front said «Gear for the Whole Family» and if there is one thing I like even better than a deal, its gear. So off we went during a vacation to the area to check out what fun and exciting shoes and other gear the store had to offer.
The best deals were for winter items, but many spring and fall styles were marked down at least 30% if not more. With Merrell you already know you are getting great quality so an savings is a bonus.
Obviously I left with some shoes!
