Not my first time to Blue tomato as I pretty much purchase all my clothing there, but I want to add a special shoutout to Alex (Alexis, I hope I spelt his name correctly) from the Amsterdam location. This time I went in with the intent to purchase new snowboarding boots. He was patient, helpful and extremely curating to my needs. I simply told him my style, what board and bindings I had and my budget and he came back with several pairs for me to try.
