Good Gear stores In Los Angeles or Fresno areas for rock shoes???

Headed to Fresno area for a friends wedding this weekend, also spending a few days in the San Bernardino area as well.  Our in store rock shoe options here in phoenix are extremely limited and I'd love to find a store while I'm out there to try on and size some other shoes I haven't had the opportunity to try yet.  Maybe Tenaya, Unparallel, ocun, etc if I can find a good place.  

Does anyone have any recommendations on where to check for good shoe selections?   

Nomad Ventures in Joshua Tree has one of the better selections if you are ever in that area, they had a couple Unparallel shoes last time I checked. Otherwise I think your options are pretty much limited to REI and local climbing gyms. There’s an REI in Rancho Cucamonga and most locations carry a few Tenaya models (I remember seeing Mundakas and Mastias at some locations).

Flowstone Climbing is a bouldering gym in Redlands which is near the Unparallel headquarters, might be worth calling to see what they carry. They are listed as a distributor on the UP website.

There is (or at least was when I was there last) a Nomad Ventures in Escondido as well (North of San Diego) that has a decent selection. They have a store in Temecula too, but it's not as stocked. 

I hear the one in J tree is the biggest one but can't confirm that, as I've never been to that one. 

Not exactly on your way but thought I'd throw it out there.

@Sam, 5.10 use to be in Redlands. Is it at the same place?

If you're flying into LAX you can go check out the REI on Rosecrans near there. Because it's got a couple climbing gyms without a mile or two they actually carry some selection. They also have a "garage sale" permanently going on next-door with good prices on returned climbing shoes.

The Evolv outlet is in Orange County and they have a lot of their own shoes at great prices.

I doubt you'll find anything in Fresno.

Yeah I believe they took over the old 5.10 space. Unfortunately they don’t have a retail outlet with factory seconds like 5.10 did, that was the best.

It's rumored that Unparallel are ex-5.10 so that would make sense.

Fresno REI has climbing shoes.  You’d have to call to ask about what’s in their selection but I imagine it’d be a quick phone call, they don’t have but maybe a dozen-ish options if I remember right.
