Located right next to Macy's at the Paramus Park Mall, Buddy's has been around almost 50 years and has great sports items for sports fans of all ages. Buddy is very knowledgeable in sports going back many years. A big PLUS from the young staff at the few remaining chains. Apparel for all ages, collectables, framed jerseys, autographed items, sports cards, mugs. Too many items to list..... A great place when you need a variety of choices. Better than the internet in many ways SOME of the items may be on the high priced side, but think about it. Apparel you can try on . Gifts ready to buy & use\give. Huge inventory under one room. And of course supporting a local business. The true sports fan can spend at least an hour looking around.

Decided to enter here cause I saw a photo of "Stallone" at the front and decided to check out the store in general, it's a great little place for all sorts of memorabilia, they have everything you need there, I highly recommend it..

Amazing selection of baseball caps!

What a pleasure to not…read morehave to feel as though I was 'bothering the help' which is what i get too often - he went above and beyond - good on you Dick's - keep him, he's an asset and give him a raise to make him stay-i will be back for all his 'sports' stuff

This is a huge Dick's store located in Paramus on NJ-17 Northbound. Pretty for all of our sports…read moregoods shopping in person, we have to rely on this store. It has sporting goods for almost all popular American sports including fishing, camping, cycles, shoes, apparel, and equipments. It is very clean and tidying always. Our most recent visit to was to get T-ball bat, helmet, gloves, pants, bags and shoes. We found all items except the shoes. Was really happy with variety of brands, options and sizes that were available. All items were on display within the same area, so it was easy get one item after another. The prices were decent, comparable prices I saw online from places like Amazon. Multiple associates offered to help. One of them assisted us with getting access to fitting room. When we asked about T-ball shoes, there was a huge confusion among them, the question got relayed between four of associates in three different areas before we found they don't have it. LOL!! But the checkout process was fast and easy. Multiple registers were open, so line was moving quickly.

I've been a member and coming to this location for a year now and have always been very happy with…read moremy sneakers and inserts, but I was completely blown away yesterday. I worked with Marco and he was so knowledgeable about different types of sneakers and the differences between their designs to offer ankle support and alignment. He took his time to show me at least 5 different styles and made sure my insoles were perfectly shaped. He is very kind, professional and welcoming - Road Runner Sports is beyond lucky to have him. I love my new shoes!

High-Pressure Sales Masquerading as Customer Service…read more My husband and I recently visited this store hoping to find sneakers that would help alleviate ongoing foot pain and support us in exercising comfortably. Unfortunately, what we hoped would be a supportive, personalized experience turned into an overwhelming, high-pressure sales operation that left us feeling more like sales targets than valued customers. From the moment we walked in, we were bombarded--literally four people greeted us at once, creating confusion rather than a warm welcome. No one clearly explained the process. Eventually, we were directed to sit and wait, then each paired with different salespeople. While both associates initially listened to our needs, the evaluation process was vague and unexplained. We were asked to stand on a scanning device--no one told us why. Then we were shown results on a screen, again with minimal context. It all felt like a performance rather than a personalized fitting. Things got increasingly uncomfortable when we were ushered to yet another station for custom inserts--without asking if we wanted them. When I expressed hesitation, I was told not to worry, that "everyone does it" and "you don't have to buy them." Yet suddenly we're trying on shoes with those inserts, and the pressure to buy them escalated quickly. At one point, my original salesperson vanished without a word and was replaced by someone else--no explanation given. This second person ramped up the hard sell with fist bumps, winks, and patronizing comments when I hesitated over how a shoe looked. Suddenly, a new pair appeared that was "more my style," and I was told, "I got your back." It felt manipulative. The kicker? The two salespeople actually fist-bumped and celebrated the sale in front of us--before we even agreed to anything. When we were finally brought to the counter, the pricing was still not clearly explained. Yet another person began upselling us on their VIP membership without telling us how much anything cost. To make things even more impersonal, a corporate rep from California was chatting with the staff as they were helping us--like we weren't even there. By the end, I did walk out with a pair of shoes that feels good on my feet (and that I like the look of, finally). But the process was so dehumanizing that I felt emotionally steamrolled. My husband had to order his sneakers online and is already planning to return them and let the store know exactly how he feels. We didn't feel served--we felt sold to. The aggressive tactics, the rotating cast of salespeople, the lack of transparency about pricing, and the overall vibe made it clear: this store prioritizes high-dollar transactions over human connection. We won't be back. And I sincerely hope others read this before walking in. Your feet may feel better, but your spirit might take a hit.
