The Outdoor Depot
Lowe Alpine design and test their packs in the UK and we are proud to stock what we believe to be one of the best pack brands on the market. Order online or visit us in store in Church Stretton for sizing assistance. The Outdoor Depot specialises in custom boot fitting, where we measure for width, shape and volume, we then may use volume reducers, tongue depressors and Orthotics to achieve optimal fit and feel.

We may also modify the boots by stretching around bunions and to allow space for fit issues such as hammer toe etc. 1. Head on over to Ellesmere on Saturday 16th from 11am - 11pm for some full on fun. Whether you take the family or go with friends there's plenty to see and do including lots from our friends at Buy From Shropshire.

I am James (that's me in my paraglider!) and the Outdoor Depot has been my home from home since 2010. The picture below is Emily, my wife and right hand (wo)man! She tends to head up the office side of our little team but I let her out occasionally on buying trips and if you're very lucky you may catch a glimpse of her in store doing some merchandising.
Men's waterproof Jackets come in all shapes, sizes, colours and styles.

Popped in near closing time for a rucksack and a few other items. Didn't have time to browse, but I could see there was a good range of gear from some of the best brands. The owner was really knowledgeable and enthusiastic about the products as he demonstrated the pros and cons of various rucksacks. So good to shop at an authentic independent specialist instead of the big chains.

I attended Outdoor Depot to have a custom boot fitting. My particular situation is that I am recovering from a broken ankle and multiple fractures of my tibia. I was attended by James who displayed not only great knowledge of the different boot manufacturers but the physiology of the ankle and foot. To this end, he was able to identify the perfect boots for my needs.
I thoroughly recommend this shop not only for the exemplary service but for the quality and variety of its stock.

Fantastic, I didn’t realise I could get a pair of boots that fit so well! I’ve done my first walk in them, still clean! So comfortable, it’s given me my confidence back after a couple of slips in my old boots. Great service, thanks Outdoor Depot!

Fantastic service from James and the team.
On Friday at approximately 15.00 hours I ordered a Paramo Quitto for mountain biking (that James has been telling me to get for years).
Couldn't believe it when noon the next day had a phone call to say it had arrived. Awesome service
Thank you James and team

Friendly and very knowledgable service. Though not a shop with huge floor space if you cant find the ideal outdoor garment to suit your needs here you wont find it anywhere! Great little shop.

James runs the place and was extremely helpful in preparing my gear for the local Longmynd Hike. I got an excellent pair of boots off him which he helped to fit, he also made me some custom insoles that were moulded to my feet. I'm not sure how his prices compare to other places but his knowledge and helpfulness were invaluable.

I bought a pair of leather walking shoes ,and was told that they were water proof as long as I put the correct protection on them which was done in store .
The first time they were worn I had wet feet by just walking across a wet grass so not unreasonably I returned to the shop a d was the told that the tops were not waterproof .The shoes were £170.00 so needless to say I am not happy, I was told because I had worn once he would not do any thing about it
I would NOT recommend this shop.

After spending 40 minutes getting my feet measured by an extremely knowledgeable owner and having different boot soles swapped in and out. I walked with these new boots around 30miles during a weekend without taping my feet, usually what I would find in my old boots even if I taped my feet were Deep blisters and pains in both feet.
I'm pleasantly surprised that all the effort the owner spent measuring my feet and ensuring that I had the right boot. I only have one small blister barely larger than a 5 pence coin, value and personal service at its finest!!

The shop may be small but it's packed full of all the decent gear you need, or just want.
I received really good advice and had a long chat over some of the other items for sale.
Wish I lived nearer then I would be a regular visitor.
