“I had a great experience with Maple Boutique! I was honestly a little hesitant to order at first since I hadn’t heard of them before, but I’m so glad I did. I ordered a Kate Spade phone wristlet in the Razzle Dazzle color, and it arrived quickly and in perfect condition. What really stood out to me was the attention to detail they even included a handwritten thank-you note on my receipt, which was such a nice personal touch. It’s clear they truly care about their customers and the overall experience. I’ll definitely be ordering from them again. Highly recommend!”
“Very helpful, friendly staff. I especially enjoyed my interactions with Thelma. She was beyond helpful. We came down from Alaska to buy our winter gear and it was an amazing experience.”
“Carly was so great and helpful! She took the time to explain different shoe options suitable for my unique foot dynamics, and we found a shoe and insole for the support my feet need. I was unfortunately on a time crunch and Carly did a great job getting me out of the store quickly. Highly recommend this store and I will be a repeat customer.”
“Shout out to a Devon, who helped me. Great overall experience and he hooked me up with a fancy new board. 🤙 If you're looking for anything skateboard related, look no further!”
“I had a great experience with this business. It was necessary to send my boots to Portland for the work, and turnaround was one week, including the transit on both ends. Communication by texts and phone calls made everything clear and I had no qualms about sending my boots off for the work, which was beautifully done. Boots came back looking new. Very satisfied and will be a repeat customer as needed!”
“Great experience with this locally owned business! The owner personally helped me out, showcasing incredible customer relations from start to finish. I cannot recommend them highly enough and will definitely be a returning customer!”
“Bought the Nike Air Griffey Max 1 - Swingman Sweetest Swing’s on a whim. Had a little issue, took them back the next day and they made everything right with no hesitation. The shoes I bought were there for less than a day. Highly recommend and can’t wait to go back to find another pair.”
“My husband bought a pair of Lem's and some toe socks in his battle against bunions. He was given some great feedback on the fit and how they should feel, and he left feeling really good about his purchase. Also, shout out to the staff - we were there a half hour before closing on Sunday afternoon, and we didn't feel rushed at all. Thanks for a great experience!”
“I visited this location for the first time today. The staff was very nice. Prices are a bit high, so I wouldn't buy many things there but I think it's a great one stop shop if you want brand new running gear.”
“My homie goes here a lot because he has HUGE feet and they fix him up proper, dudes got Flintstone feet, I assume they make the shoe around each one like a pit crew of Persians strapping up a war elephant for battle, each stich stitched by the hands of a man ready to give it all for this customers feet, battle ready clogs on the mighty end caps of the big homie. Check them out!!”
“Great service and good selection and good prices (got a student discount because we were buying for my daughter), My daughter got a great set of spikes and training shoes.”
“Nice selection of scrubs. Troy was very helpful and set me up with a room to try on and sizing needs. He was able to have an item shipped to me from another store. Not only was he attentive to my needs but also helping out the 2-3 other people in the store. Great customer service.”
“Dr. McLanahan and Renee are exceptional. After nearly a year of foot pain and multiple doctors who didn’t listen to me and my intimate connection with my body, one appointment with Dr. McLanahan got me in a path to restoration - due in large part to his expertise, and also because he simply listened and followed my body’s cues. Renee is compassionate, patient, and clear. Correct Toes and the shoe options directly there at the clinic was also super helpful.”
“Connor was awesome!! Managed many costumers at once and helped me find great trail shoes after trying on many pairs! The foot measurement and gate tech analysis was super cool and easy. Helped me find the perfect shoe.”
“Excellent customer service across the board. I came in for some shirts and they had me walking out the door with all the patches, Velcro work, and materials as requested.”
“I had an amazing experience, the owner and staff are incredibly friendly and supportive of the community. If you’re looking for a variety of quality heels (+ larger sizes) or some new wardrobe pieces, Eye Candy is awesome!”
“My girlfriend and I came in for the fit experience and Naccari completely blew us away. He took us both through the foot scanning process and was incredibly insightful, breaking down exactly what our feet needed. He completely changed the game for me by showing me that I've been wearing the wrong shoe size my entire life and that a 4E width was the way to go. He also walked me through the compression socks and insoles, clearly delivering the benefits of everything I tried on. Crucially, he never felt like a shark salesperson—I never felt pressured to close or buy anything on the spot, just genuinely educated. Not only does he really know his stuff, but he’s also incredibly personable and made the whole experience awesome from start to finish. Store leadership needs to give Niccari a massive shoutout—he’s an incredible asset to this team!”
“I stopped by with my daughter on Friday, July 3, 2026, just before closing. We were greeted by two of the nicest guys . They went out of their way to help us, were genuinely friendly, and provided exceptional customer service. A top-quality experience from start to finish.”
“Folks like Black Wagon is what makes Portland great. Hopefully our mayor can get crime, homelessness and anti-biz policies figured out so this wonderful business can keep going strong.”
“I had a wonderful experience buying a few pairs of shoes! The staff is knowledgeable and so helpful. The customer service experience was top notch and I will be coming back for all of my shoe needs.”
“I stopped in thinking I just needed a pair of insoles and walked out with a whole new understanding of why my knees had been complaining. Megan took the time to really look at what I was wearing and how I was moving, and gently broke the news that my shoes were the real culprit. It turned into one of those unexpectedly helpful, “why didn’t I do this sooner?” moments. I left with a new pair of shoes, pain free knees, and runs that actually feel fun again! Safe to say this place has earned a loyal customer. I’ll definitely be back for the rest of my running gear. What a gem.”
“Was able to find my Ugg clogs on their website, when they were sold out everywhere! They shipped out so fast and got here just as quickly. Super happy with my purchase and to have found this shop.”
“Okay, I've finally figured out that the reason I can't find Merrell outlets all over Portland is because there are Columbia outlets everywhere, instead. The deals I got here made me just as happy as the deals I'm used to getting at my favorite Merrell outlet in Folsom. I got two pairs of waterproof nonslip boots for work-- one Columbia and one Sorel-- both for $55. I had almost purchased a similar pair of Columbia boots at DSW for $70 a few days ago, so I ended up being so glad I held out for a better deal. They had so many good deals at this outlet, it was literally overwhelming. They had an entire floor of clearance Columbia and Mountain Hardware jackets. I also noticed a huge selection of PFG gear. I'm not into fishing, but I like their lightweight long sleeve sunblocking shirts. Customer service was friendly, one of the employees was also a seasonal national park worker, so we ended up talking about that a little bit. Overall a great experience and I would definitely shop here again.”
“If you’re lucky enough to come by and meet Bruno, I guarantee you’re going to leave a happier person. He took his time and listened and we left with the perfect shoe. And a huge smile. 10/10 experience.”
“Great store. It's clean and well set up. The shoe selection is fantastic for those with large feet. The celebrity footprint wall is a cool find. The staff are friendly and helpful. Highly recommended!”
“This shop rocks ! Highly recommend, you got to check it out ! The layout inside and selection is stellar, super clean, organized and easy to see what your looking for. Great gear selection !! Employees are super cool, friendly, knowledgeable and helpful. I didn't even know about this place after 25 years in PDX. I found it while searching for the best price on a certain Patagonia bag that I wanted for so long on Google and was going to order online from somewhere that had the lowest price. Well low and behold !! This shop had the best price by far on sale, brand new and in the color I wanted. Only $64 compared to $85 other places. Then the cashier surprised me with another 10 or 12 bucks off for being a Veteran ! Out the door for $54 baby !! Sweetness abounds my friends =) So yeah the item I wanted was right here in town where I live in a super cool store I didn't even know about lol. No waiting a week for shipping and higher prices. Win ! Check this place out. Lots of great merch and cool employees who know their stuff !!”
“10/10 they will match your energy and get you into the best kicks of you life. Walk in barefoot, find Sunny, give Van's some cheddar, walk out on top of the world. #kickfliplifeintheface seriously good place to get shoes n stuff.”
“They have a good selection of Birkenstock shoes and sandals (and many other great brands). The staff is very friendly and helpful, happy to answer any questions I asked. I'll gladly be heading back next time I need shoes!”
“Five stars for Nora! She provided some of the best customer service I have ever seen. The store was busy, but she handled multiple customers at once with total ease, genuine dedication, and a huge smile on her face the whole time. Definitely made my day!”
