This is by far my favorite outdoor gear shop in Auckland. It's independently owned and the people…read morewho work here really care about their business and know their stuff. I bought a tramping backpack here after much hemming and hawing and trying every pack at every shop in Auckland. What I loved about this place was how not pushy they were, how willing to suggest things in every price range (though honestly they don't stock merchandise they don't believe in), and when they could see I was undecided, they were happy to have me go away and come back when I was sure, AND they offered me a small discount, which was enough to woo me away from buying my bag overseas and having it shipped to me. They care about selling you good, sustainable options that will keep you in good gear for a long time. They'll order for you if they don't have something in stock that you want, and they rent gear if you're not quite ready to commit (or you're visiting). Bottom line - good quality stuff, amazing service, get in there and get outdoors!!

Absolutely fabulous service from Quest, a wonderful ski enthusiast from Vermont, USA. After…read moresustaining a lisfranc fracture (serious across my metatarsal joints) of my right foot & given that 3 plates have been fitted Quest found me a rear entry men's boot, ordered it in, fitted & the heat treated the inner to my high arches & now very wide foot & hey presto after 3 years of no skiing I can finally ski in comfortable fitting boots. so thrilled! Quest's expertise, care & attention to detail should be legendry. He was A1 in every single respect. Go visit him if you have problems with your feet & finding comfortable fitting ski boots.

This independent sports store in Mt Eden is a great place to come for almost all sporting equipment…read morethat you might require. It must have been a Stirling Sports in the past because you can still see the sign at the top of the building, but now it's called Allsports. It is actually pretty cheap in here, and they have good quality equipment. They don't have the same range of goods that some of the bigger sports outlet stores around Auckland might have, but they certainly can compete with them when it comes to prices. And the service here is really good. The owner and other staff members are a very friendly bunch of people, who get to know each individual customer. Good service is really what sets this sports store apart from the rest, and it's the reason why I come back here.

Newmarket's Nike Platinum store is home to the best and latest of what Nike has to offer. Not only…read morethat, but its a great looking store! I really like the set-up of the merchandise, it just makes shopping so much easier (in any store really). It's not usually very busy here and I'm one of those people that really hates being the only customer in a store (I'm an independent shopper). In saying that, the salespeople here are really knowledgeable and when you're spending quite a few dollars on clothes and equipment, its worth knowing all their features and benefits. I like a lot of Nike's Dri-Fit clothing and they have a great range here whether you're looking for tees or shorts, etc. Some people would find it quite pricey for a single pair of shorts or a polo but keeping in mind that is is a brand name, and the quality of the product, it's a great investment. Platinum gets drops of the the newest stuff in town so if you're coveting that brand new pair of sneakers, it's a pretty good store to start in. My only gripe would be that the men's designs in tees and sweats are sometimes much better than women's, which make me just a little envious! Platinum is right on Broadway, a minute's walk from the train station and super easy to find. With so many shopping destinations in Newmarket, I'd highly suggest making Platinum one of them. The athletes and exercise lovers will love this place (if they're not already regulars).

Sport Science is a store that completely revolves around its customers. With plenty of staff on…read morehand, every single customer is greeted and helped by sales assistants, and though I'm not usually one to enjoy such in your face service, at Sport Science it was necessary. With so many different shoes available for so many different types of sport and exercise, as well as issues regarding tread, rolling ankles and shin splints, without help it's impossible to know exactly which shoe is best suited to you. The assistants at Sport Science are fantastic. They're helpful, knowledgeable, personable and very friendly. Before you even begin looking at the shoes you are filmed running or walking down a short strip. Staff then analyse the footage and determine your walking/running style and thus which shoe is best suited to you. This process makes you feel as though you really are getting good service and the right equipment - something that's really important when you're spending so much money. If you are really into sports or, if you're like my mum and crazy enough to run marathons, Sport Science will sort you with everything you need from socks and shoes to tights, thermals, water belts and jackets. Bonus: Because Sport Science aren't a brand, they don't try to push you to buy any particular label - it's all based on what best caters to you as an individual.

Whenever I need a new pair of running shoes, I head straight over to Shoe Science in Mount Eden…read more All of the staff are always really well trained, and ensure that you leave the place with shoes that suit your feet the most (and if you go for a run and find out they are not right, then they have a policy that you can even bring them back within 30 days). They are also very well staffed, so when you do get service you get it in a really one-on-one way and for at least 20 minutes. And its always a bit of fun running up and down on the little runway they have with a camera, so you can see if you are pronating or not naturally and then if it still occurs in the shoes they've put you in. You can end up spending up to 300 dollars on a pair, however they do have a handy ambassador club which lets you get discount if you are a returning customer.

I love boys tees, jumpers, jackets and hats so even though Arcade predominantly supplies men's clothing (with the exception of the beautiful Sunday Misfits range) I still manage to find something I love every time. I am a self professed Moreporks junkie so love that the beautiful NZ made brand is stocked here. The latest range of Arcade shirts are also made in NZ too as well as Sunday Misfits so there are options for the sustainable shoppers out there. They have also recently started selling second hand Polo gems that you wouldn't be able to find after hours of internet trawling. Other brands are quality labels from a variety of places sure to tempt your wallet. If you head to Mercs for the sushi make sure you take a stroll down Cross St to see what these gentlemen have on offer

Don't worry though - they look more threatening than they really are. Once you make it inside you'll see this is essentially, a clubhouse.

If you are ordering on line in the USA, STOP. The return policy and service is horrible!!!…read more If you need to do a return you have to 1) send an email to their customer service 2) call their customer service to get "approval" 3) send back shipping on your own 4) call them non-stop because even though the warehouse has received your items - you still have to call their customer service team to get the warehouse to acknowledge they have received your item? They have had my return item since 12-9 - yet my exchange has still not been processed. It is a shame, I like their product, but will never buy it again - way to hard to work with 2XU
