These tennis balls are for massaging the bottom of my feet or at least the foot with plantar facsiitis which I am currently doing while writing this. I realized I hadn't written a review for this place so here it is. They have a just enough of almost everything here which is fine. I have purchased day packs, running hydration packs, shoes, socks, dumb bells, golf balls, pocket knives, ammo, yoga pad, shooting accessories, camping gear, other stuff and most recently today, tennis balls. Also, all the other sorts of sports equipement like baseball, basketball football ,etc gear. Always quick in and out and usually well stocked. The staff is pleasant and can answer my dumb questions.

I asked him for a hotspot for largemouth bass, and he gave me several. When I ask him for a spot that I could fish from the shore, he not only told me where it was but also gave me turn by turn directions. I was impressed! They also have an abundance of baits. Prices are listed clearly on the fridge door. And there are all kinds of fishing tackle for whichever fish you are targeting. Parking is on the street.

They quickly changed out his reel and gave him pointers on where to fish. Here's where the story gets better: That afternoon my grandson tried to cast and his line became a complete tangle. We went back to West Marine and were helped once again by Thai. He proceeded to very patiently untangle and restring the line. He tested it and once again gave my grandson instructions on how to prevent line tangles, how to fix, how to do test drops. I am truly thankful and impressed by how well we were treated at West Marine. Thank you Thai for your outstanding customer service.

I was trying to place an order for my employer online, and the order kept getting rejected for some unknown reason. When I tried calling the corporate customer service number, the message informed me there is no help available over the phone, and to use their chat feature instead. I tried the chat feature, and the agent told me to try the transaction again. I did, and again the order did not process successfully. I thought I'd try my luck with speaking with someone at the local store, so I called the Alameda location and was lucky enough to get Leparish on the phone. He diligently worked on troubleshooting with me, confirmed there was indeed some issue with the payment processing, and instead of waiting on corporate to hopefully resolve it, he went ahead and packed up the items I needed right there at the store himself, and scheduled a shipment to my employer. He made sure I had all the pertinent order information I needed in my inbox before I got off the phone. He was helpful, patient, and courteous. Customer service like this is a rarity these days. Huge kudos to Leparish, thank you so much for your help in resolving a frustrating situation. This is what great service looks like. West Marine, fix your ordering issues, and give this man a raise!

I didn't even know how to pronounce the shoes when I called lol. I was on Google and was trying to find where I can buy some from that was close by... I didn't really feel like going far or a lot of other shoppers in the store, crowed.. just too much social anxiety. So I found this very cute aesthetic pleasing " nurse shoe store " I call it online. I called and spoke to Victor on the phone, he's the OWNER!!! Super cool chill guy...great vibes - I loved his vibe in fact. He told me what they had in store and what most Nurses go for but he had exactly what I needed. I came on by, he brought out sooooo many different brands for me to try on and even different styles in the different brands. He took his time with me, he was not rushed. Didn't mind helping me actually find a great shoe that worked for me, he even let me try on each and every one of them, measured them for me to make sure they were a great fit... There was me and another customer in the store and also another store associate I believe name Andrew!!! Everyone was super chill, it was definitely vibes. We all talked about shoes and the shoes we were looking into and I felt so comfortable. I really want everyone to come check out this store!!!! It's so hard to find a shoe store that FOCUS on COMFORTABILITY rather than TRENDY!!! And idk about you, but I'm getting up there in age and being comfortable means more to me than anything!!!! I want everyone to check them out!!! Parking right in front of the store. Which is also a score!!!! Oh yes, best part!!!! GREAT PRICES!!!!!!!!!!!!

They have an excellent selection of running and walking shoes, and the owner and staff are incredibly knowledgeable and helpful. One thing I really appreciated was their foot scanning machine, which measures your feet and helps determine the best size and shoe for your gait. It made the whole process so much easier and more personalized. They also have a fantastic selection of gear, and the atmosphere is welcoming whether you're an experienced runner or just getting started. If you're looking to meet people, I highly recommend joining one of their walking or running clubs--they're a lot of fun and a great way to build community. Highly recommend!

Chris who runs the store (along with his other talented business partners) is so exceptionally knowledgeable about the running industry, the products they carry, and about the sport in general.

From weekly running clubs to brand try-on days to just knowing about racing events in the area, you are getting more than your money's worth by stopping by and visiting the store.
