Mountainshack, Worcester

pretty well as the last review - excellent staff help. The lady serving was particularly helpful with our choice of kit and the MD makes a fair point regarding his stock. We needed help and received it/not pushed and very professional approach. No not likes for me as I like small shops!

Great, everyone should go

Mountainshack in Worcester has it sussed! Everything they sell has most likely been tested by at least one of the sales staff. I recently bought a pair of Miendl Approach Shoes and the advice I was given was fantastic, a lot more than I would expect from anywhere else, even a proper shoe shop! The only disappointing things about Mountainshack is that the shop is rather small but by no means any lesser, in fact a lot better than that of, say Blacks.

Another minor issue is that they often stick to the same brands: Columbia, Berghaus, Rab, TNF, Clog, Lowe Alpine, Scarpa, Meindl and Black Diamond. Of course this is a huge range compared to other shops and a very minor gripe indeed! I would certainly recommend this shop to anyone looking for great gear at decent prices and with lots of helpful friendly advice from sales staff.
