I don't buy sporting goods often, but when I needed a new hat (how do I lose those so often??) I…read moreknew it was time to head to rebel sport. They have such a large variety of not only sporting goods, but tons of apparel and accessories. I missed the Black Friday sale, but when I went in at the beginning of December, they had a massive sale of 40% off on all Puma clothes and accessories. I got a plain white sports hat that retails at $35 for like $20! Major score. I was super drawn in to the tennis section and the boxing equipment, but I regained control and stuck with just what I needed this trip. The customer service was great and there were employees everywhere willing to help. The store was organised and easy to navigate. I had an easy time getting around, finding the perfect hat, checking out and being on my merry way. Thanks Rebel for a great shopping experience!

This is such a hip skate and snowboard store located in the Botany Mall, which funnily enough sells…read moreskateboard and snowboard equipment and clothing; and not a bad selection either. But like any store that sells new season and top of the range gear, this store is sort of on the expensive side. Even so, it is probably one of my favourite snowboarding stores to visit. The guy who works in here is a really friendly person who was only too happy to offer help and advice. We spent ages having a yarn about the different snowboards that they stock as well as the advantages of some of the different boards that he has ridden. Good advice from firsthand experience.

I think Foot Locker is pretty great. Apart from being a terribly common shoe size, I like coming in…read morehere to check out what's new. While I prefer shopping online, it definitely pays to see something in person, especially with sneakers and shoes in general. Foot Locker always does pretty well with footwear and I like the range of women's shoes here. There are some awesome colours, some a little too adventurous for my taste, but still great to look at. I'm probably one to go to Foot Locker for a more casual shoe like the Chuck Taylor, but they do offer great quality athletic shoes in different brands, so there's lots to choose from. Foot Locker seems pretty limited in their clothing. They do excellent tees, and usually have good deals on these. However, as far as official team merchandise goes (NBA for example), there's not much on offer. They've got a handful of sportswear clothing for men and women but that's about it. It isn't the biggest Foot Locker store I've visited, so limited space could be the case. If you join the Foot Locker loyalty club you get 10% off every full-priced purchase, and any discount is a good discount. Really handy if you're a regular and just to have on hand when you need it. Foot Locker is awesome for footwear but I'd suggest elsewhere for clothing.
