Puma Outlet

Nothing special to me in terms of brand loyalty, unlike a Nike but that’s probably a cultural thing as Puma is much more popular back in Germany.
Normal outlet sales, good corner location.
Located across from Oakley.

They recently re did this store and it now matches the one in Burlington. Much better flow to the store. For some reason it feels smaller now but I don’t think that is the case.
You can get some really good deals here. They often do 50% off the entire store which turns out to be a really good deal on most items.
I have never had an issue with customer service at this location. Everyone seemed nice, and check out is a breeze unless you go on a weekend and have to deal with the bus loads of Canadian’s that come down to shop.

Awesome people. Period.
This isn’t the largest Puma outlet store by far, but the employees here remember faces and are friendly and helpful. If something you want isn’t in stock, there’s another store about 20 minutes north in Burlington, WA, which also has a decent selection of Puma goodies and is also an outlet store.
I’ll be back to this location because the people are so nice!

In the past few years I’ve become obsessed with their sleek black sneakers that don’t look like workout shoes. I already wore down one pair, and I’m on my second pair (although it’s actually a different brand shh). When I stopped by the outlets, I snagged yet another black pair for about $ 45 or so (normally $ 75).
I looked for a women’s size 7 and I couldn’t find any, so I grabbed the size 7.5 but ironically the pair of shoes in the box was actually a 7. I lucked out but if you wear size 7 women’s be aware that they tend to sell out???

Disclaimer: Although this is in the Seattle Premium Outlets, it is actually about an hour North of Seattle.
I am a Puma junkie. I have Puma shin guards, Puma soccer socks, Puma turf cleats, okay, you get the picture. Knowing there was a Puma store up there, I drove up to find a new jacket after leaving my favorite one at the soccer field (enjoy your new home, jacket!). I walked in and there are nowhere near enough sales people to staff this store. Nonetheless, I found a jacket and thought it might be a good idea to get my boyfriend some athletic pants (he is 6’4″).
I waited in the line for about, well, ever, and got up to the counter. A super snotty cashier just started ringing us out rolling her eyes and sighing without a greeting. I said, «I was wondering what the inseam on your men’s athletic pants is?»
She looked at me like I was a complete idiot. «Um, they come in Small, Medium, and Large.»
«Yes, I understand those are the waist sizes, but what is the inseam measurement? How long are they?» I asked again as I secretly prayed she said 36″.
«I already told you. They don’t have inseams. They are just Small, Medium, and Large,» she snapped at me impatiently.
«Okay, thanks.» I said. I paid my bill and asked another associate that had NO clue what I was talking about. This is a question I am ALWAYS asking when shopping for my boyfriend, and most places know (32″ and 33″ are the most common, FYI).
I wear the jacket to my first soccer game and lose the $ 20 I put in my pocket because it wasn’t stitched correctly and was a huge hole (the pocket wasn’t connected to the jacket). I drove back up there and did a straight exchange for another one which is AWESOME, but for $ 120 (plus the $ 20 I lost, and the gas I spent to drive up there), I really didn’t appreciate that girl’s ‘tude.

Man, two weeks ago this would have been a 5 star rating. This place used to have some shoes that were really, really marked down. I own probably 6 pair of Puma, most purchased at this outlet, and most far below retail price.
But, I guess things have changed or I had a bad trip. Last weekend when we went they had absolutely nothing that was any decent amount below retail. I was barely greeted (it was an on my way out goodbye) and was unimpressed at the general cleanliness of the store.
This used to be a must stop anytime we traveled north of the city, now, probably not so much.

Nice footwear attracted our intrepid hero to this store in the Seattle Premium Outlets location. Store traffic was pretty slow and the sales associates were very helpful and attentive in providing opinions on shoes and getting different sizes. If one were to ask nicely, the associates could also point out deals the casual passer by may miss!
PROS:
— Friendly staff
CONS:
— Small store, limited selection
— Not a whole lot of discounts for an outlet store

When looking for all things PUMA, shoppers have a storefront option at Seattle Premium Outlets (shoppers beware, as Seattle in the name does not mean Seattle in the local… unless perhaps you have some Ruby slippers that will click you there… Tulalip is the location (Marysville)).
This storefront offers a handful of true savings, but most prices are near retail. I happen to like the PUMA brand, but am not pleased with the selection at this storefront. It is my view that although the store carries PUMA brand, there lacks selection. I have found certain unique shoes, but am more satisfied with puma online shopping.
It is also noteworthy that this mall is an outdoor style of mall, equaling weather elements need to be considered. Additionally those sensitive to smoke might not appreciate that smoking is allowed at this mall, as it is located on the Tulalip reservation.

I like Puma gear and this store has a lot of stuff with a wide variety of shoes and lots of clothes. Don’t be fooled. This outlet store does not have consistently low «outlet prices.» Somethings might only be $ 1 off original price. But it is still a great store.
