    My Big 5 haul, helped by customer service rep Eli
    Dena G.

    I got to give credit where credit is due: Big 5 has everything you need for all things sporting. Over the years I have gotten so many good things here: Athletic shoes, compression socks, winter gear, workout clothes, pepper spray, a shotgun, hot and cold wraps, baseball caps, yoga mats, dumbbells, ankle and wrist weights, sunglasses, snacks, water bottles, bathing suits, swim caps and goggles, and the humble bag of beef for jerky. My athletic shoes were totally thrashed, so today I came by for a new pair. A big shout out to the customer service rep who helped me today, a nice gal named Eli. She was polite, helpful, hard-working, and introduced me to a new brand of shoe I've never wore before called Saucony. I wound up buying my tried and true New Balance and the Saucony athletic shoes also, along with some compression socks, multipurpose sports care wrap, and a hot and cold pack. I threw in a new little bottle of pepper spray to carry in my bag (always wise to be protected). I feel good to continue on with my power walking thanks to Big 5.

    Beware deceptive online pricing and upsell chaos…read more If you've never been here, here's what to expect: You'll enter, the staff is friendly and attentive, and they have a good selection. Regardless of what shoe you want to try on, you're going to be ushered to a computer where they measure your feet and give you an analysis and then fit you for very expensive custom insoles, upwards of $100. They'll then recommend 4-5 different shoes based on this, and the price range will vary. If you had a shoe in mind that you wanted to try, they'll bring that as well, but they'll push the others. They'll put the custom insoles in everything as an upsell technique, so you'll have to take it out if you really want to try on the shoes without the expensive add on. The insoles were meh. Didn't do much for me. I asked for the shoe I came to try on and was satisfied with those and ready to check out until they said the sale price listed on the website with free in store pickup wasn't applicable to in-store purchase ($30 difference) unless I signed up for a membership which was a $20 trial for 6 months and somehow tied to those damn expensive insoles and custom socks that I also didn't want. So if I wanted the sale price, I'd have to spend $20 somehow and be tied to those insoles I said I didn't want to begin with? I dunno. I felt like I was drowning and somehow my $150 shoes were going to end up costing me $300. Stop trying to make everything a membership subscription. How many pairs of running shoes do you think I'm going to buy every 6 months? Craziness. I went home and ordered my shoes on Amazon for $140. I really tried to go in-store and support a business in my neighborhood but no thanks on all of that.

With the store in my sites I pulled a hard right without rolling the SUV I was driving and parked... Amazing surf shop for goodie , surf boards and skateboards. Grabbed my Val Surf logo sweatshirt and a weird Nike shirt cause it was kick a$$ white with hot pink drawing... Now I explored and found great surf gear from major brands I won't mention but the shoe selection was amazing, especially the VANS. The suede leather Vans were awesome and I desperately wanted a few pairs but I didn't have room in luggage.... As I was walking past UGG's display they had the sand color version and again if I had room I'd bought a pair... Super cool " Dude " handling cashier duty's was awesome. The over the top skateboard decks blew me away located behind him and I only wish I was 12 again so I pester my parents for one... we had a good laugh about age and away I went... NOTE : Speaking of killer items and this wasn't for sale was wooden shoe by Vans with images of old school pro skaters including the "Godfather of pool skating" Mr Tony Alva! For those who don't know him well he was a member of the Zephyr Competition Skateboarding Team, or the Z-Boys.... Can't wait to come back and I'll have a bigger luggage bag for more gear. But needless to say this stop was amazing and worth the wait...

    Bradley, at the Studio City store, I am so impressed with you. You went above and beyond to help me…read moretoday. I was looking for a very specific pant, and you greeted me kindly at the front door, asking if I needed help, but then respectfully left me to search until I needed help. When I did, you got me into a changing room quickly with a different pair of pants I wasn't sure about. Upon figuring out which pants I was looking for, you took it upon yourself to find them in your computer. They were not on the floor. There were none left in my size on the website, and you could easily have blown me off. You did not. You were not satisfied with that and went into the back to look more. You stuck with it and showed me how much you cared. And then you FOUND THE PANTS! I didn't even need to try them on because that Villa Trouser is perfect on me. And I do not throw that word around about pants and me often. All of this, and I still got out of that crazy Sportsman's Lodge parking insanity in less than 15 minutes, so I didn't have to pay for parking. Scour Yelp, folks, I do not ever write reviews. But Bradley deserves a shout out. In a time when we all question whether decency in humanity still exists, you turn around and find a Bradley. Thank you. I appreciate you so much.

One class was taught in store and the other class was taught out on the patio near the water. This was so peaceful to me. The manager and the employees at the store are so sweet.

    On the last day of this store being open, closing Tuesday 12-30-25 and liquidating inventory…read moreincluding the $57.50 Shaun White book which was reduced to only $5 Granted I looked on eBay in the secondary collector's market and it could be found for $15-25 used and new... but it's like over 90% off the original cover retail price! I wager a reseller could have negotiated to buy the remaining inventory for even less to make a profit. Parking at the Grove and Farmer's Market is horrendous to the degree that their policy, validation and rates they charge customers to shop there is very counterintuitive to supporting their retailers to generate foot traffic and business. I wonder if the shopping center's mismanagement was cause of the Backcountry downfall to close this store and liquidate inventory and sell fixtures. The shopping center's parking system is disingenuous to supporting retailers and customers. You park, you eat, you shop and buy, hang out for maybe 2-3 hours, spend money and even with a merchant parking validation you pay $17 to park and support the center's businesses.

I knew fleet feet had a great supply and the ability to measure mama's sore feet. So, mama is a five time cancer survivor and warrior. Unfortunately she had a large mass on her toe which prevented her from being able to walk without a boot, which after months leads to body pain throughout. Her poor foot and ankle always hurt, and swelled up real bad. She had pain throughout her body from the imbalance and reliance on crutches. I didn't think we could find a pair of hokas that would fit, and even better actually heal her feet. Then we came in and met Dan, the kindest most knowledgeable specialist we could have hoped for. He was patient and supportive at every step, through mama's laser measurements- which are amazing and they email them to you if requested. Then he began the work, we tried 4 great recommendations but alas none fit, all too tight around the ankle. But Dan wasn't done, he looked at the measurements and put in an order for a men's size in extra wide trusting it would fit- and if they didn't we could exchange within 30days. Four days later, my mom put on her first pair of shoes that fit in over a year. Im in tears of thanksgiving. To see her walking in a new pair of hokas, with proper balance and arch support. She's so excited and we are forever grateful. Also, they didn't try to sell me the most expensive pair, they had an awesome shoe that was less than what I expected! Take your loved one's here, they deserve it.
