| - Went in looking for my first pair of clipless pedals and shoes. I did some research about basic terms and styles but still wasn't comfortable picking out my own yet without some help. I usually despise having to get help from sales people, especially when buying shoes - they always seem like I'm wasting their time by not taking the first pair.
I was hesitant to go into the Trek store, assuming because of the brand name, they'd be a higher end, higher priced route. But after checking out prices at Erik's, and getting annoyed by literally EVERY employee asking if I needed help when I told them I was just browsing, I decided to try the Trek store.
The employee that helped me, Geo, was very helpful, and wasn't pushy at all. I told him my price range and what I knew and what I didn't, and he helped me decide. He recommended items according to how and how often I ride, and really, in the end, let me decide. He even installed the cleat for me, while showing me how to adjust it so I could do it on my own, and described how to install the pedal to my bike, but explained that they can do it in the store if I wanted help. I left feeling completely confident in my purchase, and even spent $50 less than what I had budgeted.
