I came here just for hiking boots. As the weather warms up, it's time to get outside and see if the hills really are alive with music. My Yelp hiking guru, Norm K., said he shops Big 5 for his stuff and that's good enough for me. They have quite a selection of hiking shoes and boots at all price points. Norm says he doesn't like to spend too much, which is good, because neither do I, especially since I'm no hiking expert. I came here on my work lunch break, so I was the only customer, which meant I had lots of attention from the young employees. The guys were friendly and didn't mind going back to the stockroom three different times as I tried on boots. I settled on a waterproof pair that were on sale for $24.99 and also scored some hiking pants (SPF 30!) that were also on sale. I walked out of there having spent less than $56 in total; I'm ready for them there hills now. Let's go, Norm!
