Merrell

I was super excited to see the Merrell Outlet at the Primm Outlet Center. I don’t remember it being there when i was there a few months ago, but maybe I missed it. Anyway, I’ve been getting Merrill emails for a while now looking for a new pair of hiking boots and had planned to hit REI as soon as I was near one that was convenient and then I tripped over this store.
Unfortunately, even though it’s an outlet the shoes and boots are still PRICEY! they were having a 30% off sale and if you get a pair that is over $ 100 you get $ 20 off with your Primm Outlets Green card (see the customer service booth for one of those guys) AND my dear mommy had a $ 25 gift card for the mall that she tossed in, so my $ 150 boots ended up only costing $ 90! Hooray… and they are GORGEOUS (see my photo up there!) I already spent a day wearing them so I could make sure to break them in and they were almost as like walking in a cloud as my last Merrells… just gotta get the lacing to the sweet spot.
The woman working in the store was helpful and pleasant and made sure I knew of all of my discount options. I felt like they didn’t have a huge selection of women’s hiking boots, so glad I liked these, but they do have a great selection of shoes off all styles, running, hiking, sandals, etc…
Overall, good store, nice products, good service.

Fantastic shopping experience. I didn’t even know they had Merrell outlets. Apparently, they are bundled in with the Hush Puppies store at the Las Vegas Premium Outlets (north and south). But this state line store has a bigger selection of actual Merrell product.
Anyway, it was a fantastic shopping experience because of the one girl who was helping us. And of course, I totally didn’t get her name. But her enthusiasm and knowledge was incredible.
I decided a while back to finally get a GOOD pair of hiking shoes instead of the usual cheap but good enough stuff I’ve bought in the past. I figured I’d end up easily spending over $ 100 for them. Luckily for me, when I asked the girl for a recommendation, she pointed me to a pair that are not only the most comfortable hiking shoes I’ve ever worn, they were on sale and only cost $ 57.
And then of course, I went overboard and picked up a down jacket (something I’ve always wanted) and a pair of comfortable and light work shoes. But everything was such a great deal, I’d say the almost-​two-​hour drive among the California Thanksgiving weekend visitors was worth it.
