I went here to take advantage of the $50 voucher deal. I saw many staff just walking around and not doing much. Some were just chit chatting with each other. My main goal is to try on blundstones boots, the shoe area on the first floor has so many customers. I think there were only 2 staffs working that section. It took me awhile to flag someone down to get my size to try. I waited for like 20 minutes and when they came out they headed to another customer instead. They continued to walk around other side until I flagged them down. It's as if they forgot I asked them for help. They basically told me that they couldn't find the boot in stock. I checked online and they have one available (I also double checked with the cashier at the entrance) . I am fine with getting just the display model, however they can't even find the other shoe. The one that's on display now doesn't even have a price tag on it. I was frustrated, so I asked another staff member and he took his time as well. He said he couldn't find the box. I just gave up, and got something else using the vouchers. If you want to shop for shoes or boots, I don't recommend sporting life. There's not enough staff to customers. There's other places in the mall to look for shoes than here. read more

I went to this store at Yorkdale, Toronto, Ontario, to get me snow-pants, I saw a sign on the rack saying 50% off, and which is really eye-catching. I tried a few and decided to get one, it was $350ish, and 50%off, around 170, which is really nice, however, when I got to the cashier, the woman told me it's at full price. I told her it's showing 50% off on the rack, so she talks to her manager, she said this to me "it is what it is, buy it or leave it". I'm like .. wth? I was in a hurry, so I don't want to spend time arguing with the lady, although I think you guys should honour the pricing mistake. I went back to the rack and ask the guy there, he told me "ALL of the discounted products are sold out". Hey sporting life, your ads are super confusing and customer service is really bad. I don't know if you are trying to scam ppl or what? If there is no more 50% off product, either you leave the rack empty or hide the sign. Instead, you put the regular price produce in under the sign, and told ppl you ran out of product? isn't this a scam? What if I didn't double check before I tap? Really really bad experience. I will never shop here again. read more

I visited the store at Yorkdale on October 12th, 2019 to return a number of clothing items I purchased online. It was suggested on the Sporting Life website that this was an option and I preferred this method since one of the items I received was stained and another item I received was not as described on the website. I believed returning these items in person made more sense because it would allow me to show and explain why I wanted a full refund. I did receive a full refund for the stained item. However, for the item that was not as described, I was offered a store credit only. The item was described on the web site as a sweater and what I received was a spandex top of the quality you would expect to find at Forever 21. The item cost $100 at 50% off (my bad!). When I complained to the manager (N), she tried to deny the online description was wrong by telling me that this spandex top could also be called a sweater. Now, a T-shirt is not a sweater, nor is a blouse, shirt, sweatshirt a sweater. I think people know a sweater consists of a knit fabric of some sort. The online picture was not in "HD" and the details of the fabric were not clear. After trying to gaslight me about the definition of the word "sweater", N changed tactics and told me to contact the manufacturer with my complaint - in Bangladesh I suppose. She maintained that Sporting Life was not responsible for the description of the goods for sale on their website. She ended the conversation by telling me she no longer would discuss the issue I was having with her response to my complaint and that I should contact customer service by phone. Long story short, the person on the phone was even more antagonistic. In a nutshell, he tried to argue that if the website described the item as a sweater, then it must be a sweater! Well, life is short so I had to let it go. Lesson learned, don't buy anything online for Sporting Life again. I am warning others to be very careful as their return policies for items purchased online are very restrictive and not at all similar to what you would expect from other online retailers, I mean successful ones. Most of the desirable clothing items they offer can be purchased online elsewhere. read more

Walking into the store I could barely get in there was such a huge line up. The store is busy, but there is no staff. You will be waiting in line for at least 20-30min. Finally I had to leave without my purchase, some people have to be at work. The manager herself pointed out the most logic problem , there are no cash registers, we'll then bloody buy some more. This is Yorkdale. Unacceptable for Sporting Life! read more

We bought 2 Pelican Kayaks today at Dufferin Street Yorkdale Mall. Connor helped us with loading those 2 kayaks into our Dodge Caravan. Connor patiently tilted the first kayak so that he could fit the second one in as well. We were thinking we had to fiddle this for an hour and Connor graciously loaded the 2 kayaks in for us in less than 10 minutes. We really appreciate his efforts and his strength :))) 2 Thumbs up for Dufferin Sporting Life and Connor for serving us! 5 STARS for Yorkdale Sporting Life. read more

Sport Chek at Yorkdale mall has terrible service. They ignore you extreme lack of variety of running shoes. The cashier talks so fast but I couldn't understand what she was saying. Very very disappointed and do not recommend sport Chek read more

We went to yorkdale last Friday night and try to buy a canada goose ladies parka, and the flagship store and Honey both said the one we want was oos, so we went here to see if we could get one. We checked online for availability before we getting into the store, which showed in stock. We were told that someone was looking for it for us, so we sitted there and waited for almost 30mins. Turns out they couldn't find the parka without telling us! It totally wasted of our time! Then we asked the staff who said she would find it for us to check if other stores carry it, she asked her supervisor came to check, and the supervisor didnt look like friendly at all. 2 stars are for the Yonge/eglinton location where the staffs are nicer and more willing to help compare to this one! read more

Very disorganized. Couldn't wait to get out. Unfortunately I have to go back because I returned an item (with a receipt) and they'd only give me a gift card. Guess they need to keep the money. Returned an item to SportChek, no issue. read more
