Holistic Skateshop

"This place is the best. They’ve got the widest selection of skate products I’ve ever seen and I’ve been to a lot of shops. Tons of decks from companies big and small. All the shoes you want. Really nice clothing selection, along with hard goods like wheels, trucks, and bearings. In my experience there is always a good independent skate video on while you shop. But besides the products, this place is a community center for skateboarding. You won’t find locals meeting up in a corporate mall store. At Holistic, skaters come here to meet up and explore the city, to eat food together, to spend time together and keep their boards going. I’ve seen kids come in off the street and a skateboard has literally changed their life. Skateboarding gives people a sense of meaning and a reason to stay away from the negativity that can overtake life. The owner JD is 100% committed not only to skateboarding but also to the Reading community. He makes sure all are welcome no matter who you are. This place is top notch and you have to check it out. Even if you don’t skate you can find a great outfit here. And if you haven’t been to Reading before, JD or whoever is working the shop will give you suggestions on local food and things to do. Thank you Holistic for everything you do. Support local!!!"

"Every one of my purchases I was greeted with kindness and gratitude. No pressure to buy, and allowed to browse thru the store for as long as I needed. Owner is genuine and enjoys what he does and takes pride in his business. Always a pleasure!!"

"Every time I order from Holistic Skateshop I do so with complete confidence. Excellent customer service, fast shipping and they are always available in case of any questions. I highly recommend them."

"Gnarly skateshop that has an awesome online shop as well! I placed an order for a set of wheels and shortly after realized they were the wrong shape, so I sent a cancel email. I got a call a couple minutes later from a very helpful employee that walked me through the other options in the same wheel size. Super cool interaction and always fun to talk skate stuff even if just for a minute. Because of his call I didnt end up having to cancel the order and was able to get what I was looking for. Support the crew!!"

"Don’t even live in PA but found holistic online looking for the Converse AS-1 Pros in my size. About an hour after I placed my order I got a text from the owner. He called an told me Converse often runs a half size big and made sure he shipped me the right shoe. 10/10 customer service, a huge selection, and shipped my order right after it was placed i’ll definitely be shopping here again."
