Extremely disappointing experience with Dick's Sporting Goods…read more I recently had knee surgery and was unable to leave my house or drive for an extended period of time. I am a volleyball coach and regularly tell all of my players to shop at Dick's Sporting Goods. My husband is also a basketball coach and recommends Dick's to his players as well, so our family has spent a significant amount of money with this company over the years. I had purchased knee pads in both a medium and a small. My daughter tried on the medium, which fit, and never even tried on the small. I was still within the 90-day return period and simply wanted to exchange the unused, brand-new small pair for a different size. Because of my surgery, I could not drive until my doctor medically cleared me. The closest Dick's Sporting Goods is an hour away, so once I was finally able to drive, I made the long trip and spent a considerable amount of money on gas just to make this return. Not only did they refuse to exchange an unused item that was still within the 90-day period, but the manager was extremely condescending and rude about it. I was not asking for a refund or trying to return something used. I simply wanted to exchange an unused pair of knee pads for the correct size. After years of recommending Dick's Sporting Goods to my athletes and spending money there myself, this experience has seriously changed my opinion of the company. The policy may be the policy, but the way this situation was handled, especially by the manager, was completely unacceptable. Customer service and common sense should matter, particularly when a customer is making a reasonable request under unusual circumstances.

Great selection, always well stocked but I must admit the prices can be steep!…read more You can pretty much find all things sports, outdoor, hiking, and fishing gear all under one roof. I remember years ago that they used to sell even camping equipment and items like hunting gear but it looks like they no longer carry such items based on my visit today. Nevertheless.....In all, a legit a legitimate sporting goods retailer with a wide selection of top-brand athletic gear. The store ioffers wide selection of popular brands, including Nike, Adidas, and North Face, as well as their own private-label brand, DSG. I did score on a pair of running shoes that were on sale and a decent price but decided to put my workout gear back as to. I know I can find better prices online. Price point set aside, I appreciate the variety of products and at least knowing there is a solid sporting good s store in the area.

I love shopping local and Sport Fair is a really special store. As a swimmer growing up I always…read morewanted to see items before I purchased them, and this is the first time in my life--of course well after my own swim "career" has ended--that I can. My kids will never know how lucky they are, ha ha! Sport Fair has just about everything except Tyr. I miss that brand but I love Speedo and Arena products just as much. The amount of stock is amazing, and the accoutrements are all there from special towels and goggles to training aids and drag suits. They might not carry every specialty item you dream of, but they carry a reasonable facsimile and as I like to say, all you need to do swimming is a suit and goggles. All that other stuff is just other stuff you gotta keep up with! I've ordered branded swim caps through Sport Fair and have been really happy with the quality. I've purchased training suits for me (the giant drag suits), goggles, swim caps, and suits for my kids. In particular I was thrilled to get toddler size speedo suits for my daughters so they don't have to wear Target bargains. If you want your kid to learn to swim, they have to enjoy it and being dragged to the bottom by a stupid tutu or other absurd sexist decoration on a toddler suit from target is not my idea of fun! So not only have I thought the suits from here to be more fun for my kids, but safer, too. Really pleased to have this gem in our community.

Everyone is super friendly and never make you feel rushed, even when theres been a wait, so the staff def is great. Again, its an average place. I wouldnt run there, but I wouldnt refuse either.

I had a fantastic experience here with choosing my new running sneakers…read more About a decade ago, another running store introduced me to the ASICS Gel Kayano and it suited me well year after year. I had no problem buying the updated versions online. However, the latest model absolutely destroyed my feet that I would feel pains in my arches and soles after only 3 miles! The most terrible thing is that the ASICS online store does not take returns or exchanges for worn shoes so I was out of $300 with almost brand new shoes. I searched around Arlington for a store that would assess my gait and also a store that would take returns/exchanges so that I would have to be strictly liable for running shoes that do not fit. Pacers fit the bill and so much more! The representative (apologies for forgetting his name) was SO helpful. He performed various tests on my feet, and recommended several models. He was quite knowledgeable about the different running shoes and discussed their pros and cons with ease. I ultimately left with new Brooks running shoes, which has restored my running to be enjoyable again. Highly recommend if you are searching for new shoes!

Not a comparable shoe, not a way to order it for me, nothing. Just watched me turn around and leave the store. He had me questioning myself, was I rude? No. Was I offensive? No. Just plain bad customer service.

We were searching for a Lakers jersey and the clerk said they had one they just sold. So, as far as selection goes they didn't have too much. They did have a lot of hats/caps and stickers for your car, etc. It seemed like they had a lot more football jerseys than NBA jerseys, too. The clerk was very friendly and tried hard to sell us on what he had so I give them some props for salesmanship. If they just could clean the place up a little and maybe make it a little brighter it would probably have more appeal. I'm sure they could have ordered something for us but since we don't live in that neighborhood we wanted something right then. If you live close by and are looking for something in particular and they don't have it, it seems like they'd be more than willing to make sure you get it. For what we needed though it didn't have a great selection.

I like that you can buy it online and have it shipped to their location. One my way out, my friend came across a section with apparel that had "GOAT" on it with phrases like "Be the Greatest" or "Greatness with a side of Butter". I thought they were cute, albeit pricey. Great service as I entered the business - I liked that.

Also avoid the elevators if you can because you might run into the elevator troll and get denied access for no reason.
