Since its beginning in 1971, Footsloggers has always presented the best in backpacks, sleeping bags, footwear, tents, and outdoor equipment.

In response to the demands of the paddling community, we our proud to announce the addition of our boat shop which specializes in whitewater and touring kayaks.

Our years of experience provide us the opportunity to outfit users in the latest technical gear or the best in economy equipment.

Whether hostelling in Europe or vacationing close to home, Footsloggers is here to assist you in your adventures.

Footsloggers prides themselves in employing individuals who specialize in the different activities that the outdoors has to offer. This interest in the outdoors led to the name “Footsloggers”, found in Roget’s Thesaurus under the verb “walk”, a World War II term which means to “march” or “tramp” through mud.

The title was was given to us by our good friend Paul Daimler who now resides in Connecticut and as our name suggests, footwear is where outfitting begins.

Walking around town or around the world, our casual wear will fit your every step. For those who walk the walk, our boot department is the long and the short of it. Whether you are hiking the Blue Ridge Parkway, backpacking the Appalachian Trail or negotiating a mountain stream, you can walk miles in our shoes.

Pepper’s was established in 1975, serving the High Country its first taste of sumptuous, “deli style” sandwiches.

In addition, we were one of the first restaurants in Boone to recycle all of our cardboard, glass, plastic, tin and aluminum. We have also cleaned up our own environment by becoming a 100% smoke-free establishment.

Our goal at Pepper’s is to serve the freshest, highest quality food available. We hope you have a pleasant dining experience here at Pepper’s.

A recent review from TripAdvisor.com:

“My family lives in Boone, and it’s the one place I have to go everytime we visit. The Jean Lawson w/ steak fries, and a Mud Pie at the end is the way to go. For the money, the food service and atmosphere is awesome. The only downside to the place is when you have to sit at one of the central tables, I feel a bit in the way. Othwerwise, it’s one of my favorite places to go hang out and eat!”
