We came to Academy to look for some sneakers for my husband and to get out of the house. I haven't…read morebeen to Academy in awhile, so was looking forward to looking around. When you walked inside the store, in the lobby they had gloves, hand sanitizer, and disinfect available for customers to use. The store is pretty large, lots of items, everything from workout equipment like machines, weights, boxing equipment. They also have a ton of sporting equipment like bats, balls, gloves, etc. While we were walking around our little had his eye on a bike, so we headed over to the bikes to check them out. He was able to test out a bunch of bikes, which was nice (wide open aisles). We headed over to the shoes. I have to say, their shoe prices seemed pretty high, but that could be because I purchase most of my athletic shoes from outlets. We also checked out their grills (large selection). We didn't wind up buying anything, but did a ton of browsing. Pros: -Large store -Taking COVID precautions -Variety of items Cons: -Shoe prices seemed high Tips: If you're not in a rush, take some time to browse.
