    Interesting store selling used sports equipment. Quite a wide variety offered as shown in the photographs. We toured the store and did not end up purchasing anything. Some of the items looked EXTREMELY used and worn. We were looking for weight lifting bars.

    Tucked away in a mall near Nickel City, Max and Benny's and next to Title Boxing. Major win for our family tonight, as we found a completely affordable soccer goal net for my boys. We started out at the toy store, and then my brain remembered to check this place out... and... SCORE! I went to Play It Again Sports in the city a million years ago and scored an Anniversary Edition Nordic Track. It was my favorite thing in the universe. As I'm watching my boys in the backyard right now kicking away at that soccer ball, I'm certain we've found another favorite at our house! Here's the difference in price. We saw a similar net for $139 at Toys 'R Us. Here it was $50... oh yes! If you've never been here before, here's what you can expect to find. Most everything is used, and it's packed and loaded floor to ceiling here: - Skateboards - Treadmills - Skis - Cornhole games - Skates - Bikes - Soccer gear - Baseball gear - Racquets - Hockey gear - Lacrosse - Boxing So much more... Note: They aren't the bubbliest team of employees, but they get the job done and will answer any questions you have. Here's where you go when you want to try out a sport you think you're going to love, but maybe it ends up not being your dream. You don't have to feel bad, because you can sell it back! **I'll probably write an update when we go through the skateboard phase!

They had a good supply of youth size cleats, one of the items on our shopping list, and the girls also took the opportunity to do a mini shopping spree on some of their clothing and swim wear.  Thumbs up on the store and thank you!

They fit great in the store, but after walking in them all day, they hurt my feet and I had to bring them back. When I went into the store to return them or to exchange them, they could not have been nicer. It was a newer shoe that they just started carrying and they wanted to know my opinion of them i told him it was a great shoe. It just did not fit me well for a long day on my feet. They called someone in the shoe department to help me. He found a fabulous pair of Brooks that fit me perfectly. I have not been wearing them all day and my feet feel so much better. I was a little concerned about exchanging the pair my mom had bought me because I did not have her credit card with me, but there was absolutely no problem. The shoes I bought were $16 cheaper than what my mom had spent, and it automatically got credited back to her credit card. Best experience I've had buying shoes in a long, long time. Highly recommend this Dicks!!

    Such a great experience at Fleet Feet this week!…read more I started running a few months ago and was wearing some older shoes that were well-worn and also the wrong size. Because I've stuck with running - and because I have a history of plantar fasciitis (repaired with two surgeries) - I decided to treat myself to a shoe fitting and new pair of running shoes. Al, who helped me on my visit, could not have been nicer or friendlier. He asked me a few questions about my running, what shoes I'm currently wearing or have previously worn, and then he did the foot scan. After reviewing it with me, he brought up four different running shoes for me to try on - Hoka, Asic, New Balance and Brooks. He was well-versed in the differences between each and was helpful in parsing through what I liked (or didn't) in each pair. After I selected the winner, he checked inventory for my preferred colorway. They didn't have it in stock but assured me it would be delivered on Monday from another location. He recommended a pair of socks, too, and made the checkout process super quick. On Monday afternoon, I called the store to see if the shoes were in (a little eager to go on a run). Jane was kind enough to check to see if they were there and let me know they were. I went for a run after picking them up, and am super happy with my selection. The amount of cushion is perfect for me, and I could feel a difference in my pace. My heels didn't hurt at all when I finished, which is a huge win for me and my bionic foot! I'll definitely be back for future running shoe needs. This was a great experience, and I'm so glad I stopped in!

We started with one salesman who needed to leave and then turned over to another, so since we were first online and had to wait because there were 6 people and only 2 salesmen. One salesman spent time with a young girl and sat with her for a while while we were handed boxes. The service was awful, and I noticed two people left because they had no assistance. We have purchased from here numerous times and would have left if I didn't have my cash points. We will no longer shop at this store. Service is now here--try it on and put the shoes you don't want nicely back in the box. Add but pay $$. You really need to bring your customer service back.

I love that they make custom orthotics like the ones you get at the orthopedic drs office. But the price is way cheaper especially if you have the road runner VIP membership. Alex was the person that helped me with my orthotic shoe inserts which to be quite honest an easy breezy technique. First you chose the type of insoles you wanted depending on arch and cushion support then Alex slipped the pair into a machine to heat them up for 3 minutes then the insoles were transferred to a machine where you had to step on top of them for a minute with your weight! The results were your new custom impressions on your insoles!!! Stop in and have yours made for any shoe. Your joints will thank you!!

I did the…read morefull bag fitting and it did take a full 3-4 hours, but the options and the knowledge were incredible. I was most impressed about the seemingly limitless options that would work for anyone's golf game. I tried around 3-4 different heads/shafts for each club choice (D, 3W, Hy, Irons, Wedge) and it was awesome to get immediate feedback in terms of hitting the ball and the stats/info on the screen and through Michael. The putter fitting was more straight forward, but still a cool experience. I would suggest to anyone going in to do so with an open mind, if you know you want Ping or Callaway then I'm sure they can still help but you won't get the most out of your experience. I ended up getting irons that I had never heard of before because they were most consistent. I also thought I would be leaving with 4 wedges, but Michael did a great job designing my bag for the game I have. For instance, I didn't use my hybrid often and it's really just a club to fill in the gap between a 3w and 4i. I also would rather use a 4i off the tee, if need be, since I feel like I have more control. Well, he fitted me for the Srixon Z U85 3i - something I was not previously familiar with to be better off the tee but also get my distance and to land better on the green. I was not pressured into buying anything - I did end up buying a whole new bag - and if your current clubs are the best option, they will tell you so. I got my "Prescription" and data within 2 business days of being there, so if you want to take a stab at building the clubs yourself or comparing more numbers, you're free to do so. It took about 3 weeks to get my clubs, which isn't bad at all since they were custom made for me. The packaging was awesome and every club was protected. I don't think I'll need another club fitting for another 20 years so while maybe a little pricey, I couldn't be happier with the outcome and just knowing that a professional set me up gives me more confidence.

    4 stars for technical knowledge. One star for customer service after the delivery of the clubs. 13…read moreout of 14 clubs were very well-fitted. But the True Spec customer service department has completely failed to get the one club replaced. Got my clubs at the beginning of March and here it is mid-April and many fruitless calls later and and no correction of the problem. True Spec doesn't appear to have a professional customer service system where issues/problems are logged into a system, worked on by the appropriate people, then resolved and closed out. But I'm still hopeful that this can be resolved before the Chicago season gets into full swing.
