I went to Tanger Outlets today and browsed my favorite stores (pictures included). The copyright free music made me feel like I was in an Old Navy commercial, which I went to first. Not much to say besides that they were super overpriced but the dog mannequin was looking pretty dapper. We went to Spirit Halloween and saw the overpriced animatronics. 309 dollars for the ring master. No way! I did enjoy trying on the masks. At Abercrombie and Fitch, the fitting rooms make you feel like you are in a dungeon. Next, I went to lucky brand and that stuff is expensive. 100 dollars for the brown corduroy flare pants is ridiculous. I went to Plato’s closet and saw some identical ones for 10 bucks. Lucky brand furniture was not impressive. The chairs looked like they were from an antique store in terrible condition. Lucky brand necklace for 50 bucks looked like something I can make with dollar store craft supplies. Seriously? I was looking at journeys for shoes because my converse are falling apart I didn’t find any I liked. It’s kind of hard to hear in the video but an employee there was singing to high school musical and was not of assistance. Lastly, we went to Coach and that stuff is WAY out of my budget. I was overwhelmed by rich people laughing. J crew smelt like play dough. Gap was playing Nelly Furtado skibidi toilet song. I have also looked at the other reviews and people were complaining about security harassing people but i experienced respectful security. Overall mediocre experience. I left...
Read moreClarks (Bostonian) outlet store is a great place to find good shoes at a very reasonable price, plus the staff is genuinely friendly and VERY helpful. . I always end up leaving with 2 pair of nice dress / work shoes for somewhere around $70 - $90. They've got shoes that are over $100/pair, maybe even close to $200 a pop, not sure, but the majority of their inventory is reasonable, very very reasonable. Brand selection isn't near what Tops Shoes (Lexington St. Asheville) is, but it's generally more than adequate. Clark's Shoes also makes and carrys Bostonian, which I have found to be an excellent "go to, everyday driver" kind of shoe. They look plenty good enough, they last plenty long enough and they fit and feel like they are broken in. The very FIRST time you take them out of the box and slide your lovely feet into them (the use of the term lovely, is my weak attempt at comical sarcasm. The initial adjective I grabbed was stinky, but my wife didn't find it as relavent or appropriate as needed, so using my best judgment which ALWAYS includes listening AND following her advice I toned it down to lovely) you will notice how comfortable they feel and how well they fit. Several of the Bostonian models are known for feeling broken in and ready to wear, directly out of the box (brand new). These normally are the kind of shoes you can wear for your typical 12 hour work day, the first time you wear them, and not "pay" for it with blisteres and sore...
Read moreI definitely did. It was all me. I am the one that requested directions to the Tanger Outlets Asheville. The directions were very good. I also asked for list of shops. That I will give a score of B+. Seemed like I was driving in circles around the entire place because every entrance into the outlets, once you have parked, all look the exact same to me. At least the entrances that are not directly into one of the anchor stores. So, it's kind of tough to know where to park if you are not there to walk around the entire place all day long. They have a good amount of shops. It's dog friendly which is very cool of them. At least in the outlets outside. I am not sure if each shop allows dogs inside. I know a couple have let me bring my pooch inside. He's not so small either. He's bout 65#. The shops I asked if they minded if my dog came in with me, all said, np. Ofc he is on a leash and that is the law in the Ville. Anyways, this is a decent outlet mall and it always seems to get a little better everytime I visit. Check it out. And the Google asked me if I had any pictures so, here you go. That's my pup. I didn't have any of the Tanger Outlets Asheville. However, they weren't specific about what picture they...
