Rewards Program Terms and Conditions
Last updated January 1st, 2020
Opting-in to Moosejaw Rewards:
All users must accept these terms and conditions and create an account with Moosejaw to opt-in to the program and earn, accrue, retain and redeem Moosejaw Reward Dollars (MJ$). The program is FREE to join and membership is ongoing until or unless the user requests to be removed or is removed due to abuse of the program. Users can opt-in to the program while checking out on Moosejaw.com or at one of our stores or at any time within 30 days of purchase to accrue the MJ$ earned on that purchase. Once opted-in to the program, MJ$ will earn and accrue for redemption as described below until the MJ$ expire or the user leaves the program.
All information collected and used to facilitate the Moosejaw Rewards program is directly related to the program's ability to provide value to the customer. A customer opting-in to the Moosejaw Rewards program is a separate action from establishing a user profile as a result of making a purchase.
The program opt-in requirement was added on August 6th, 2019. Existing program members prior to that date must still formally opt-in and accept the terms and conditions to continue to retain, earn and redeem MJ$. Pre-existing program members that fail to opt-in prior to June 28, 2020 will be removed from the program, and any unused MJ$ will be voided. We really, really don't want to that to happen, so please opt-in or we'll feel terrible.
Leaving Moosejaw Rewards Program:
You may choose to leave the Moosejaw Rewards program at any time by logging in and clicking on the “Opt out Rewards Program” link within the My Account Summary page, Email, calling 877-MOOSEJAW (877-666-7352) or in-store with help from our employees. If you leave the rewards program, any unused MJ$ will be voided upon completion of your request.
Earning MJ$:
All items we sell are eligible with the exception of gift cards or other items specifically noted. Full-priced items earn 10% back while discounted items earn 2.5%. "Discounted items" includes items on sale or discounted via coupon code or use of MJ$. You do not earn MJ$ for shipping or tax charges, only from the item value. MJ$ expire two years after earning and are redeemed on a first-in, first out basis (in other words, we always use your oldest MJ$ that are closest to expiration).
Checking & Redeeming MJ$:
On Moosejaw.com, just sign-in on any page to see your available balance. Once signed in, you will see your available MJ$ and maximum that can be redeemed in the payment section of the checkout process. In stores, provide the email address attached to your account to learn your balance and apply to your purchase. We will also send you a monthly email that details your balance and other account activity. This is a transactional email that you will receive even if you are not subscribed to our marketing emails.
Bonus Rewards Promotions:
Every so often, we'll have special offers where you can earn bonus MJ$, like an additional 10%, 20% or 40% back. So if we are running a 50% back special offer, and you buy a regular-priced item for $100.00, you will receive MJ$10.00 in base points, and a bonus of MJ$40. These special offers may have a cap on how many bonus MJ$ you earn during the promotion, but you will always earn the base Reward Dollars. Make sure to check us out on our social channels for other ways to win some extra MJ$!
MJ$ on Gift Cards:
You don't get earn MJ$ when you buy a gift card, but you do get MJ$ when you spend a gift card. Sorry gift givers. You're welcome gift receivers.
Product Returns and MJ$:
If you return an item, we deduct the MJ$ earned on that item from your balance. If you used the MJ$ and your balance is less than deduction, then your refund is reduced by the difference.
Program Abuse:
The intent of the program is to provide our loyal customers with a way to buy great gear for less. Moosejaw reserves the right to remove any user from the program and zero out their MJ$ balance if Moosejaw determines that the user is abusing the program by buying for resale, attempting to game the program or any other reason at Moosejaw's sole discretion.
Are you Sure?
Our Rewards Program is completely FREE and easy to use.
By opting out, you forfeit all the Moosejaw Rewards Dollars your currently have in your account, which is basically throwing away free money. What would your grandmother say about that? If you're 100% sure, please click "OptOut" below.
For Moosejaw Rewards members only. New members enroll for free during checkout.
You must use code GRAB20 to take the 20% off a full-priced item.
The deal is only on in stock items. Deal cannot be applied to prior purchases or with other promotions.
Load bearing climbing equipment, like a harness or carabiner, is final sale by law so if you don't like your climbing stuff just hang it on your wall to impress your friends - sorry for being so mean about it.
Earn 10% back on all full-priced purchases on Moosejaw.com or at our shops (2.5% for discounted items).
The program is FREE. Just register and join during the checkout process. So Easy.
After joining the program, you'll receive your MJ$ as soon as your order ships. Then the next time you shop at Moosejaw, you can redeem those MJ$ to get awesome gear for way less.
"Get it by" - For in-stock and ready to ship items, choose the your shipping speed at checkout to get your items by the "get it by" date. Your items will ship SAME DAY for orders placed before 3pm EST.
"Oversized" - This means the item is large and can only be shipped using 4-6 Day ship speed. Additional shipping charges may apply.
"Freight" - This means the item is too large for standard shipping methods, and must be shipped by truck freight for an additional fee. Someone must be present to inspect, sign, and accept delivery, so we will call you to schedule delivery.
If you have any questions, please Live Chat or call us at 877-666-7352.
Special order items take longer to ship
We want to make extra-sure you realize that you've added a special order item to your cart. These items take a little longer to get to you because we have to order from the manufacturer first. The "Est. Ship Date" is the date we expect items to leave our warehouse... so add your chosen shipping speed to see when it will show up at your door.

First Mountaineering BootsI wanted to get some mountaineering boots, but didn't want to spend a zillion dollars. I'm not trying to perish on Everest. I'm not trying to "die doing what I love." After looking around online, these seemed to fit the bill. Got 'em a couple weeks ago and have since put around 50 miles and 8,000 vertical feet of gain on them. Terrain ranged from chunky and sharp and cacus-ey karst out in the West Desert of Utah to the streets of Salt Lake City to the snowy Wasatch Mountains. These boots are warm, waterproof, sturdy, and pretty darn comfortable considering that mountaineering boots are much more rigid than typical hiking boots. For what it's worth, I typically hike in size 10 Asolo TPS 520 Evo hiking boots. Getting these La Sportiva Karakorums in size 43 has worked well.

Terrible Traction and Narrow Fit.I purchased these boots in June 2020 (order confirmation #146163654). The boot construction overall is of good quality, but the width is painfully narrow for a "D" size. I live in Interior Alaska, Delta Junction, and these boots are like wearing ice skates due to Vibram's decision to save a couple bucks and employ the use of recycled plastics in their soles instead of rubber. This is common practice by a majority of sole manufacturer's it seems nowadays. These were a waste of money to buy and now I cannot return them per Moosejaw's return policy of within 60 days o purchase and not worn. We'll see how Moosejaw is dealing with an unsatisfied customer when they read this review. For this coming season I have to purchase another pair of boots that are safe and comfortable to wear hiking in my environment without attaching ErgoDyne soles so I have traction on rocky surfaces.
My boots are in new condition and now sit on a shelf collecting dust.

Great bootsI bought these boots a month ago and they have been nothing but the best. I wear them every and they still seem like a new pair of boots. I'm a lineman and the support of the boots is unreal.

Great comfortGreat work boot- second pair I’ve owned now and they hold up well. Good support, good looks, I’d recommend. I work in the woods on uneven terrain. They are hot in the summer, but that’s the only compromise

Great bootPurchased a month ago. Comfortable and holds up to the task. I’ve owned several pairs of the makalu boot, and they keep falling apart. The sole seems to be better.

LA SPORTIVA SIZE and FIT NOTES • La Sportiva footwear is built and offered on European half sizes, which are smaller increments than US half sizes. This gives them four extra sizes per size run, and ultimately gives you a better fit. • Find your US Size in the guide above, then find the Euro Size conversion and ADD ONE HALF SIZE. • The ideal size holds your toes ever so slightly away from the front of the boot while the lacing system is snug across the top of your arch. • If you can try to boots on beforehand, make sure you wear the same size and weight socks you would typically wear with the boots, and any orthotics or custom footbeds you use. • It is ideal to fit boots later in the day since feet are prone to swell slightly as a day progresses. • Wear your boots indoors only until you are confident about the fit. • Your foot should feel snug (not tight) from the arch back into the heel pocket with just a minimum lift as you walk. If your heel lifts make sure the lacing is snug and not too loose. • Your toes should NOT touch the front of the boot, but when you kick the toe into the floor, you should know where the front of the boot is. You want just enough room to wiggle your toes. • If your toes or sides of your feet feel squished, most likely the width is too narrow and the boot will not work for you. • If your toes touch the front of the boot, most likely it is too short and you need the next half size up. • Make sure to keep all original packaging that came with your boots until you are sure that you are happy with your purchase.
