Good picks! This is…read moremy go-to place when I want to pick up some sports paraphernalia instead of waiting for it to come through via Amazon or some online site. The employees inside are super friendly and super helpful. The parking can be a concern but if you go at a good time during the day you are able to find parking if no spots are available other parking is available within walking distance so no issue. Around the holidays parking can be an issue nevertheless you are definitely going to find something for your sports fanatic fan here from a pen to a hat. I'm glad shops of this sort still exists where you can put your hands on items and purchase. Have fun and enjoy life :)

I have been a Dicks Sporting Goods customer for decades. A matter fact, the first one that I can…read moreremember shopping at was over 20 years ago in Miami. I bought a pair of sunglasses that I still have to this day. I miss the location in VB Town Center. It was one of the best, especially when it had the Rockwall. An employee named Darren ran the Rockwall almost 20 years ago and he works at the Lynnhaven Dicks store in the shoe department. My daughter needed new shoes for a camping trip and Darren, as usual was awesome! Lots of great knowledge and advice and patience. She found some New Balance that was perfect and the right price. Darren's customer service skills are unmatched and I'm so glad that he was there to help us. The chain carries a lot of name brands like Adidas, Nike and Hoka's. The overall store in my opinion has not been as strong, but the selection has been every bit as good. They like others have cut back on staff and it can be challenging to get help when shopping. Customer service is not nearly what it used to be. When checking out the cashier was downright not friendly. So this four-star is much more about a single experience with Darren than the overall store experience through the years. If you need some shoes, ask for Darren.

I reached out again on the 16th and they told me they're checking fedex tracking information. I said there IS no tracking information because it hasn't been shipped yet. They then offered a refund, which I took and will be taking my business elsewhere.

We laugh, challenge each other, and somehow sneak in a pretty serious upper-body and core workout while we're having fun. Customer support if you are shipping is hit or miss, we ordered online and went to pick up only to find it was canceled. They had a similar backpack there and we ended up just getting that one. I also really appreciate the special sports camps they host. We recently participated in one with Coach Dupe from Play Your Position, and that experience actually led us to enroll my son in the program. He's now thriving there, which makes the connection even more meaningful. A big thank-you to Dick's House of Sport for not only offering great athletic gear, but also giving local families a chance to discover some of the awesome sports programs available right here in Virginia Beach.

However, this is more than a retail store! It offers merchandise for every sport, and there was an exercise class in session, along with several sets of parents watching their children climb the rock wall that's conveniently situated in the center of the building. Wow! My first thought was, I need to tell my niece about this rock wall opportunity for her adventurous kids! There's a cost for the climb, but a quick glance at the pricing seemed reasonable. Here's a fun place to shop and spend time exploring for the whole family. The staff was very friendly in directing us and our cashier, Curtis was helpful, too. We will definitely add DICK's House of Sport to our list when we need any sporting goods and gifts! The quality and the variety are a great deal.

I think that leaves the local business with two stores now. I called around to several local sporting good stores and found that finding my item would offer a challenge. The selection is strong and a definite emphasis on NFL items of all types. The displays were attractive and the store clean. I am pretty sure square foot wise this store is larger than Pembroke. I think this move was smart, Lynnhaven brings in a lot of traffic and after a recent remodel is on the up swing. You will find the store beside Dicks Sporting Goods and across from Dave & Busters which should assist you in parking if this is your only stop. I was in search for a Miami Dolphins Jersey for my son's birthday. Sizing for a 12 year old would be tough. They did have a Small which is hard to come by, but no Youth sizing in until end of Summer. If your ordering online through various websites this is not a problem, but attempting to find the right jersey and size locally can be tough so he would have something to open along with Redskins v. Dolphins home opener tix... oh yeah this was going to be great! I decided to go for it. The salesman Bart did a fantastic job of assisting me and chatting about various type of items in the store. I mentioned to him that when I called there was no answer and he confirmed yelp had the Pembroke location number that closed and he thought the phone would roll over to the new location. Upon checking out Bart gave me a 10% discount for my trouble on trying to reach them which was sweet. They also offer a 10% discount for military, fire and police. The extra step that would have brought the review to a 5 was a reminder of the NO RETURN POLICY especially since I discussed sizing was an issue. As it ended up it was way too big. I returned to the store and dealt with a female staff member. I found out about the no return policy. She was apologetic regarding the communication and pointed out the policy directly in front the cash register. She was professional and helpful through the transaction of issuing an in store credit. Hopefully in late Summer I will be able to find the Youth size that I need. I would recommend the store even with a hiccup in communication of a no return policy. Part of the blame I must bare, the sigh was in front of me at checkout. However, in my situation of discussing sizing it's a perfect time for staff to provide this info. The service was strong, the selection is excellent and you will walk away with some type of cool item that is difficult to locate locally else where. I will be back by late Summer if not before.

I have shopped at both their Norfolk and Virginia Beach locations and have consistently found the customer service to be top-notch.

Additionally, as a Brooks enthusiast, I appreciate that they offer one of the largest selections of Brooks footwear in the area and if you are lucky you can catch last years model on sale.

The service remains top notch and was immediate. I needed a replacement shoe for my four year broken down everyday Hoka's. I have really loved the brand and hoped to stay in them. But was also open to try others. The sales guy understood my needs and confirmed my old Hoka's were trash. They upgraded the Bondi I'm in to the 10, so he started with that. However, he first had me walk up and down to evaluate my gait. He measured my feet. He pulled out around six colors to choose from and I tried on a pair and walked again for evaluation. They felt much better than my broken down sneaks. After an inspection of the laces and the way my toes were in the box he pulled out a wide shoe from the back. They only came in three colors, but the gray is what I wanted anyway. After walking again the wide shoe felt the best and more comfortable in the toe box. My previous shoes were regular width. We also discussed socks that would be more beneficial for walking and jogging avoiding cotton at all cost. Cotton retains moisture, that can cause blisters. So go with synthetics, or wool. I tried on a synthetic by Feetures that felt great and picked up a pair to purchase with new shoes. I wore my new ones out and they recycled my old ones and the box. Hoka's are not a cheap brand. So expect $165 and up. Checkout was smooth on my card. Running Etc is a unique experience on service as I described. They know the sport of running, they know their products and best of all the know how to satisfy their customers with phenomenal service. Whole heartedly recommend!!!
