It's really hard to find a good sneaker store in this day and era, and I was able go into Big 5,…read morewith a shoe that I had bought at another big five from long ago, and I was able to ask the clerk what would be the next closest thing to that type of shoe and I was able to get it within a few minutes. It was $60, but that seems to be the going rate for sneakers-if you can take advantage of a sale, do so. Unfortunately, my old sneakers were starting to finally fall apart and I just needed to get a new shoe before the old shoes completely fell apart! One thing I like about big five is not only that they have wonderful customer service but knowledgeable customer service! There's nothing better than bringing in something and you're able to get a replacement for it with knowledgeable customer service! I usually don't get excited much about stores anymore, but big 5 is one of those gems that if you're looking for a new pair of sneakers, please go there!

They rotate their gear for sale regularly, and if you have extra outdoor gear you're not using, you can get them to sell it it for you (for a price.) I regularly pop into here to see what is new.

I got Burton, Marmot, and Smith gear, and it kept me warm all winter!

Made my nervous son comfortable and we found plenty of reasons to return.

I wanted them to clean the Derringer and test fire it (who knew they would charge for that when I brought in my own ammo? That seems wrong). I stopped in every week to check on progress. They said I don't need to stop in, I could just call, but my calls are not returned. After 3 weeks they said that it wouldn't fire, and needed to be bored because it had been dry-fired. I said to do it. I continued to stop in weekly. A couple of weeks later they actually called me and said it needed to have something filled (1st bored, then filled. Hmm. Did they create the problem?). I said go ahead. I eventually stopped going in. A few weeks later, they said they think the problem is the spring, I said replace it. Two more weeks, they called and said the springs are no longer made, but they could fashion one. Again I gave them the go ahead. That was about a month ago. They haven't called, they haven't communicated in any way. They've had the Derringer for about 3-1/2 or 4 months. I have left a voicemail message, but I am not holding my breath on a return phone call. I still give them a 2-star rating because they are always pleasant when I stop in. However, pleasantness only goes so far. It doesn't make up for their lack of communication or the fact they have had my Derringer for such a long time. I cannot recommend them.

My husband and I stopped in here on a whim last night, not even sure if they were open, as there…read morewere no hours listen on the door. But we pulled on the door and they opened. We walk in, to be greeted by silence. Total and complete silence. I look over a rack in time to see this nerdy-looking douche staring in our direction from the cash register. We make eye contact, which is the perfect opening to greet us. Does he take it? Nope. Ok, well the Oregon Sports employees have never been famous for their customer service, no matter which location you visit. I'm in the middle of a discussion with my husband, and I hear his name yelled. Apparently he worked with our douche of an employee like a year ago. So, he's distracted. Which means I have plenty of time to wander and find things. Sadly, find things I did! We ended up spending almost $150. Apparently he was in a good mood last night and bought me everything I wanted. Lol. Failing that, he felt bad for making me go to that crappy bar I just finished reviewing. Either way I found some great Nike shirts and a hat. I'm picky about my Duck gear and wear exclusively Nike for that. I found a good selection and was impressed. Nathan found one shirt, I believe. Everything else was mine. There's a single mirror in the women's section, that's completely hidden/camouflaged, and I had to ask where it was. There's no fitting room. My only saving grace is I was wearing multiple shirts, so I can try stuff on over them if needed. I was not impressed by this though. So douche (I forget his name, as he's not important enough to remember) previously worked with my husband. There was some sort of personality conflict between him and the managers. Somehow after listening to him, I could see why. Customer service is huge in my husband's job. This guy fit in far better at Oregon Sports, where he wasn't required to have any customer service skills. I was impressed by the selection in this store, although small and cramped, it deserves 3-4 stars. The customer service is a 1 star shit show. So that's why it gets 2 stars. Will I return? Probably, but not in the near future. My husband already paid a small fortune for his whim. I doubt he'll be excited to let me in there loose again. Lol.

After reading a few of these reviews..I thought I'd chime in..I've been to this location a handful…read moreof times. Always have a great selection of adult items..I always overspend ;). But, on this particular day I was in search of gear for my little one Kash who was a little over a year and a half..this kid loves "Ducks" and any SPORTS ball in general!!! He's a FANATIC and I love it!! But, the young girl working there that day was not a fan! We had the store literally to ourselves and my son for a year and a half is very well behaved..but there's BALLS and DUCKS EVERYWHERE within his reach. So he wants to play with all of it at one time!! LOL!! He was in heaven!! Like I said, we had the store to ourselves. It was a ghost town there that day and it happened to be an away game (TV) that day..Back on topic. So, my original goal was to find gear for him. He spotted a duck hat in his size immediately and put it on backwards (never wearing a hat before in his young life) kid amazes me! Next to that are clothes mostly for girls it felt..or unisex..I just didn't see what I was looking for in his size..I asked the girl if I was just not seeing "little kid or boy stuff" at this point she was already irritated that my son was playing with every ball in sight..I was letting him have fun since we were the ONLY ones in the store! She begrudgingly said it's "all in this area" and most is unisex..I had accumulated a small pile of items on the counter while picking up ball after ball repeatedly..so I figured I'd BUY a set of mini Duck ones they had so she would be less irritated with him..It didn't work..so I carried him around vs...hearing her complain..by the time I had picked out about $300 in items I was so stressed out about her annoyance with my sports crazed son..I was ready to leave! Would I go back? Yes, they have great stuff there! Will I "not take my son" next time? HELL NO! Just because you hate your job or kids? I'm not killing the EMENSE JOY my son has for (the) Ducks or Sports! Btw, the items little ones can reach near the floor are dusty and full of cobwebs!!

HOWEVER I am leaving a review because in the last 6 months to almost a year the store has become extremely dirty, crowded, and an absolute mess. The carts are broken, my daughter ripped her finger open on the handle while sitting there. The seat belts are ripped & unusable. The store you can't even navigate through isles and racks they are crammed together. It's honestly gross and needs to be swept, and cleaned up from front to back in the store. Forget using a cart through isles you can't get through at all. The clothing department is for sure the worst area. I'm disappointed because it's no longer a nice clean store to go to. I just want to get in & out. The staff used to be helpful & knowledgeable and now they don't know where anything is when we need help & look like they aren't happy to be there. We used to have much better customer service previously. Disappointed to see this store change so much recently.
