I've been driving past this store for years and finally stopped in late yesterday on my way home…read morefrom work for running shoes for me and school sports shoes for my son. I had wrongly assumed it was a speciality (read: expensive) shoe store with a limited range. Boy, was I wrong. It was stocked to the ceiling with many shoes on sale, but what I really appreciated was the service from the husband and wife team. I walked on a treadmill while my feet were video'd on an ipad and then we watched how my foot rolled/moved in slow motion and what options that meant for my feet. Over the years I've bought shoes online (guessing a suitable model) and also shopped at the warehouse style shops in the city where the poor staff are trying to serve five people at once. Having just spent a few hundred dollars at the physio with an injury she believes might have been caused by the wrong running shoes, I am glad I went to this place. I'm happy to report I've discovered I don't have to pay any more for great service and range and having been signed up as VIPS (a free membership) for an extra 10% discount, we'll definitely be back.

This medium sized independent sports store is good for sporting apparel, both men and women, but…read morenot so great for shoes. Their range of joggers and sporting footwear is average, much better for men and kids than for women. They have a good range of running and sporting clothing, specific to different sports. Good running shorts, longer basketball shorts, lots of Running Bare and Adidas, all at standard prices. The shop assistants are very helpful here, which is a definitely plus in a sports store. Their swimming range is quite limited, as they don't sell any swimmers, just a few pairs of goggles. They have a large range of backpacks, and a few odds and ends of sporting equipment and weights.

So as the name suggests they sell all boating, camping and fishing related items and equipment. And…read moreI mean ALL - their stores are huge and this one even has two levels of stuff. When i went in the first time there was a canoe hanging from the ceiling and a sale display set up inside a tent. It's easy to get around the store and the staff at this branch have always been really helpful. They even have a gas refill area just outside the front of the store. They have a fantastic online shop and I prefer to find what I need, the store it is available at, or in stock at, and the price before I leave home. If I don't have a list when I go here I tend to get carried away so best to get in, grab what I came for and leave before I find a few extra bags in the car and $100 less in the bank account!

If you're buying any kind of sporting attire or accessories it is well worth check Sports Savers…read morefor a cheap price. They stock a wide range of all those sporting brands that you expect to see in a sports store. The store itself portrays the image of a discount sports store, thats for sure. It's almost like someone turned the shop into a time capsule in the nineties. There's also plenty of sports team paraphernalia for all you out there who feel the need to portray their team preferences with a poorly made piece of consumer paid advertising.

Converse everywhere, the floor, the walls (almost the ceiling), knee high Converse, sparkly…read moreConverse, checkered Converse, shiny Converse, patterned Converse, every colour, every style, even mini Converse for toddlers! So cute! They do a few other brands, though in much smaller quantity, like Authentics, Airwalker, Saucony and Sperry. Their Converse prices are cheaper than regualar, but the less common styles are not so discounted. I can't comment on the other brands since I'm not familiar with what they usually sell for. It's all very American-cool. Ahh but if you're a fan of converse, it's heaven. You can even get converse key-rings!

I road one for a few years and it's good to by local (New Zealand) when one can. Though I normally shop elsewhere I have recently worked out that this is my closest shop and one that I should become closer to. Stores are always happy to look after they're regulars I have found in the past.

I started playing Tennis when I was 5, with an aluminium maroon Dunlop Racquet that went very close…read moreto being the same size as me. I was a right little turd on the court, being warned often for my 'super brat' mentality and for my ability for making my opponents (and their parents) cry. Along with my on court demeanour, many things in Tennis have changed for the better, with the equipment leading the way. TP Tennis, just off Payneham Road is a pretty handy shop, stocking many leading brands of Racquet, clothing and balls. They also specialise in restringing, which I could have used a few year back when I snapped 4 strings in 3 weeks......they call me the bullet.....shoot from the hip baby!

I don't play tennis, but I like sports stores. I especially like sports stores that cater for a…read moreparticular sport - it makes life so much easier for those who know what they want. For a small store, they seem to have a decent amount of stock and some good brands. So, if you're in the area and need something that is "all things tennis", don't be afraid to have a look see at what they have in store.

I was so damn disappointed when I checked this store out…read more Three storeys of Nike shoes! THREE STOREYS!!! And there were no AF1s or similar shoes. It's a very sports based store. If you're in to sports and need some shoes, this store will definitely be able to help you out. But if you're after the more fashion based shoes Nike has to offer, disregard this store and head to Hype or Footlocker.

20/12/2011 Photos Nike - Just Do It…read more Or when I saw the Swoosh sign from afar, "Must Go In!" With the help of the friendly shop assistant, she took me up to the highest 2nd level and pointed me in the right direction, and we found the perfect casual pair of going out shoes (complete with the swoosh) at Nike. She was so knowledgeable and informative about every Nike product she showed up, even I was fascinated but how much could be said about each shoe, singlet, and shorts! The swoosh sign for me will always remain retro, yet modern at the same time. Athletes and runners have been picking these shoes for so many years, for one big reason: Nike are hands down the most coolest brand of footwear out there, and it has been for a long time. If it's too expensive for you, their clothing prices are not too high! During most visits I just stare adoringly at those shoes with the Swoosh, but it isn't complete unless you go hunting for that matching singlet and shorts with your shoes...and when you do find them, it's doing time for me and Nike. Just Do It. Go on....I know you want to.

This place has a great range of sports gear and shoes. The store is well organised and staff are…read morevery approachable. In terms of sporting gear, they have the lot - tennis racquets, basketball hoops, swimming equipment, sport shoes, treadmills, gym equipment, and so much more. Pricing is a tad high but still around Recommended Retail Price or a bit less. Assistance from the staff though is always good and they offer good explanations behind the products to help you find exactly what you are looking for. I bought a pair of sneakers from here and they have lasted very well. The store person was able to suggest a pair based on my podiatrists recommendations and find my size within just a matter of seconds (something that generally takes a while at other stores).

Also, he measured my shoe size, I thought I was 8.5, but no, I'm a 10, deplorable I do not have little lady like feet in the slightest which I pointed out to my salesman and he replied "it's because you're tall" what a gem. Huge range of products, lots of fitness wear I would kill to have in my wardrobe, or I could pay for them. I don't feel uneasy in here because it's so big, you get to have a browse before any sales assistants pounce on you which is great because I hate being asked if I need help before I even know if I need any help. I love this place, I truly do, get on it.
