They don't sell women's sizes in shoes, if you're a women's size 6.5 to 7 (in between kids' and men' sizes) you won't find any cleats here for you. The store manager also lied to me and told me that a pair was a "women's size 7" when they actually weren't to get me to buy them anyways. I'll be finding a store that's more size and gender inclusive. read more

It's a decent soccer store. If you live live in the area...well...I guess you have no other options ;-) It's worth a visit if you need some stuff. read more

most of the store is good. how ever, DO NOT get a name printed on here. had to wait 10 days, spent 35 dollars and a fake name printed on. The wrong and it doesn't even have the Premier league on it. Rest of the story is OK however you will regret getting your name printed read more

Chicago Soccer - Costed 35 bucks for a name printed on. Bad quality and fake printing. DONTget a name printed on here. The rest of the store is good though. - Sporting Goods Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

Shoes came in for my son right in time for the season. It was such a good price I wasn't sure it was a legitimate business. It is! I'll definitely order from them again on the next growth spurt. read more

Customer service is rubish! They do have reasonable prices however the customer service representatives working there are horrible! I spoke to a rude woman called Karla their and she was extremely rude to me on the phone had the worst attitude and she could not care less about my online order that I was calling check on when they will ship it put after I 3 days from placing it online. read more

The service was good but the jerseys were a lot of money and most of them were fake and it takes three days to put a name and number while when I can go to a different store and get it right away I do not recommend buying here read more

I must have a very hard head. 2 years in a row I have tried to purchase School Spirit gear from Chicago Soccer. The School's website directs you to purchase their school spirit items from here. And I have tried 2 years in a row. Both times I get an email stating and even giving an order number and tracking number. But I have never gotten one item. Last year after I had PayPal contact them I got an email saying they no longer had the shirt. Refund Given! This year same story but I got an email saying sorry and it would be shipped soon! Another 2 weeks and no shirt. So no more trying to purchase just a single Golf shirt from Chicago Soccer! Once bitten Twice Shy! read more

I ordered soccer cleats for my daughter online from Chicago Soccer. The package arrived in perfect condition and on time. Thank you.

It's too bad management is so lousy at this store because their selection of jerseys is fantastic. I called to ask about jersey sizing for children. They claim their SML sizes don't correlate to "normal" sizing. If you find yourself wanting to bang your head against the wall due to how inept the store manager is, here's the Nike size chart to help you select the proper size: https://www.nike.com/us/en_us/c/kids/clothing-size-guide Initially, I had the pleasure of speaking with a sales associate who literally barked into the phone when I asked about the sizing. When I asked to speak to her manager and got Joey, I was even more disappointed by his rough demeanor - and use of double negatives - on the phone. read more

We have been a fan of chicago soccer. However, the customer service rep really made me feel unwelcomed. I had entered with my two year pushing a stroller. I often carry a back pack on these trips housing my sons medical supplies, my wallet and few misc items. I was approached upon entering that I needed to leave my back pack at the front. I explained to her that I would not leave my bag as it contains my wallet and medical supplies my son may need at any minute. I was told again to leave my bag. I decided to wait at exit for my other son and husband who were about to purchase soccer items for our son. It didn't take long before being joined by my family and ready to leave. My husband obviously couldn't stay nor give this establishment any sales by the way I was treated. The associate not once came back to apologize or say it was ok to continue browsing. I got dirty looks. I guess in her heart she would put my son at risk without having his medical supplies immediately on hand? We noticed several store patrons carrying large bags and backpacks. Kind of sense discrimination. I think this was handled wrong way and it was a favorite place to shop. I would advise against. My son could have died if he had an episode. Why would I take a chance of separating him from his medication?? Disgusting customer service. read more

I needed indoor turf shoes for my son. I ordered a pair of shoes called turf shoes and received outdoor cleats instead. I emailed them and they asked for a pic of the shoes and received no response. I sent a follow up email next and again received no response. I finally found on their website their return policy (it's very well hidden from the consumer btw). They don't allow returns! Only for defective merchandise. I will be much more careful to order from reputable companies that offer return or exchange in the future. I'm out $50 and have useless outdoor cleats. Very disappointed. BUYER BEWARE. read more

I really like the new Argentina World Cup Coach's polo that I purchased from Chicago Soccer. Great Quality and fast delivery. Way to go! I'll be back. read more

Have been here 3-4 times and each time the customer service has vacillated between non-existent and hostile. They seem to have a particular hostility toward children, even if the children are behaving well and it's the children we're shopping for. I typically try to support small/local business but the effort needs to be reciprocal. Will be taking my business elsewhere. read more

"Sir, you're going to need to get up off the ground," the voice said (or it may have just said just to put my backpack behind the counter). But it was quickly followed by another voice, "give him a second, they all get up from their knees and put their hands down eventually. You need to give them time. It's not every day someone reaches the Promised Land." Or maybe the whole thing was just a figment of my imagination. I was lost in a reverie after all. I couldn't help it, really. The choir of angels began singing the moment I stepped through the door. And the bright light was blinding. I really thought I was in soccer heaven; a place where the beautiful game is the biggest sport in the United States and the others are just pretenders to the throne. Not even in the United Kingdom at team shops had I seen so many jerseys, t-shirts, hats, flags, scarfs, and even bracelets (I picked myself up an slightly overly-jingoistic United States one). And it wasn't just the ones I had seen elsewhere like the omnipresent Brazil jerseys. They had such an impressive selection, they even had home and aways of Slovenia's "Fighting Charlie Browns" jerseys (though, hopefully they didn't sell many - whining bastards)! Sadly, it seemed I had waited too long as every soccer fan in Chicagoland had already made their World Cup pilgrimage here. The only United States jersey left was Landon Donovan. And, well, no self-respecting Chicago Fire fan can be seen in that outside of World Cup time. Which reminds me, they are still carrying the Landon Donovan Everton jersey in their huge club top selection which is amazing. Now admission to heaven comes at a price. The jerseys are $70.00 a pop (but that's about going rate and it saves shipping and handling from having to order it on the web). And it will cost you a small piece of sanity dealing with the staff. At check-out, there were more people working the registers than in the box on a free kick but somehow none of them were checking people out very quickly. I'm sure it's better once the once-every-four year fans stop swarming the store though. Also, one star off for carrying vuvuzela (those horns that make the horrible droning sound during matches). Chicago Soccer claims to only carry things related to soccer and, well, those things have no place anywhere near a pitch. Ever. So they're completely unrelated to the beautiful game. Soccer exclusivity fail! read more

What a fun place to go. Every time I need a present for my dad I come here. They've got Arsenal gear, US national team gear, and Fire stuff. So I know I can find something new that my dad will like. Plus I can get something for myself. This isn't the cheapest place to get soccer stuff, but it has a decent selection. And they used to have a great selection of cleats (they may still have a great selection, I just haven't bought a pair in years). This is a great one stop shop for everything soccer related. I haven't been in a little while, but hopefully they carry Red Stars stuff for our women's team! read more

When a company can't fulfill an order, they usually call, email or text. Not Chicago Soccer. Placed an order in early October for grandson's bday. Was told orders go out next day. It is now November 12th, way past his 7th bday, and order still shows as "processing" on their website. I had paid for expedited shipping. Obviously, not happening. I have called and emailed, several times. When finally reached a live person, was told waiting for part of order to come in, which they were expecting shortly. The last conversation was more than two weeks ago. I have one very sad soccer player and am one very frustrated shopper. Terrible customer service. Terrible voice mail- exceptionally hard to get thru to a person. read more

I bought a new pair of copa SENSE + from here because the employee working guaranteed to me that they were able to get refunded if the shoe came out defective. Around a week and a half ago the shoes ended up ripping super easily. When I emailed adidas about it they got back to me saying that products purchased from Chicago soccer were not valid for refund through them. When I contacted Chicago soccer and spoke to the person in charge of the defective products he himself told me again that the shoes are covered by adidas recommend I should reach out. When I told him I did he put me on hold for around 1min and told me that his managers told him that they're not covered. Two different employees giving me false information and that is super unprofessional. read more

Never shop here! My son sat down on one of their chairs to try on some shoes, and one of them was apparently broken, with quite a sharp edge... he got really hurt: the back of his knee was bleeding... we couldn't get any attention from the staff! They kept avoiding eye contact with us despite us telling them what happened. Finally, when we started loudly asking for someone in charge, Ashley came and proceeded to tell me how I should've looked before I let my son sit on a broken chair!!! All the while my seven year old is crying and bleeding in front of her. I am absolutely appalled. No one showed any concern for what had happened. I have been buying shoes for my three kids here for the past 10 years and have never been treated this way. I'm really in disbelief. I'm never coming back here and I hope you won't either. read more

shipped like an hour after I ordered and then delivered in 2 days !! i'm amazed. the box a little dented but it's cool

I was a regular here, anything I needed soccer-wise, I'd come here instead of shopping online at SOCCER.COM--until today. I asked if they have bathrooms and they said no public bathrooms...fair enough. I walk accross the street McDonalds to buy an icee so I can use their bathroom (common courtesy) and walk back in and now they say "No Drinks". Are you fucking serious? Told my brother, hurry up, these people dont deserve our patronage. Next time ill be shopping at Deportes Gol which is somewhat close or instead of making the trip alllll the way accross the city, just go to Larios or Deportes Pachuca on 47th street. Last $160 we'll ever spend here. Shit employees/owership. Hahaha not to mention the mice we seen fly across the aisle. read more

1. For location that markets itself as serving Chicago- they leave out youth girls soccer selection. There are quite a few youth girls who play and have interest in soccer. Why the bias! Girls play too. 2. Signage deceiving. Don't market all eliminated jerseys for 30% off if that's not the case Would love recommendations for Chicago area stores that support Girls Youth Soccer. Chicago Soccer is missing the boat and not for you, girls. Help is less than helpful too. Try smiling and welcoming a customer to a store. read more

My son plays for FC Drive, a local soccer travel team. I ordered his uniform 2 weeks before his first game. Then, I called and asked if the order was ready to be picked up. The woman on the phone didn't even seem to be aware she worked at a store that sold soccer gear. Finally, someone came on the line and told me the order was ready to be picked up. So, it's Saturday, the day before the first game.....our whole family treks up to Lincoln Square. And we waited a full 45 minutes in the store.....and we left with.....a pair of shoes, game socks and a made-on-the-spot unofficial team t-shirt. We spoke with no fewer than 5 employees, none of whom had an explanation for why we were waiting so long when we were told the order was ready. The customer service here is absolutely abysmal. If I wasn't forced to get my son's uniforms here, I would never step in the store again. Awful, just awful. read more

In the city this has to be one of the biggest selections for soccer players. Spikes, indoor shoes, turfs, guards, and anything else you'd need before hitting the pitch. Even you just drink pints at The Globe Pub or AJ Hudsons you'd probably appreciate this store as well as they've got tons of jerseys too. Decent prices and helpful staff allowed me to be in and out in under 5 minutes when I was trying to make the start of a game nearby. That's gotta be some sort of a record. read more

Gooooooooooooooooaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaalllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllll!!! I'm not big into soccer .. erm, football .. anymore these days, but this store scores. They have a huge selection of football cleats, accessories and jerseys of major clubs (local teams included - Windy City Wanderers, huh?), and more. There is even a patch of astroturf and balls to kick around when trying on shoes! If you can't find your team's merchandise, they can always special order (for example, Hoffenheim FC - which Curtis is a fan). Check out the clearance racks for old jersey styles, t-shirts, and shorts. The prices aren't cheap, but hey, they're not unlike NFL jerseys (that cost over $150 sometimes). The women's section is sparse, you'll find more apparel for youths here (small women can get away with wearing youth jerseys anyway). It is very fun to shop here because there is so much to browse through! Ooh, Deutschland scarves! read more

Today my heart stopped beating today. Reason 105,221 to live in Albany Park: You can get to Chicago Soccer in under fifteen minutes flat. Earlier in the morning, Michael G. was clawing his way to Chicago Soccer without so much as a tweet to invite me to pick up new gear! I laughed as he huffed and puffed trying to get back home in time for the Brazil-Ivory Coast match. None of this extra exertion would have been needed had he lived in Albany Park, like myself! Watching Facebook, I saw postings of a picture of Chicago Soccer and inquired on the existence of the vuvuzela that I decided not to buy online since my French Football Federation jersey hadn't arrived from China when it was ordered two weeks ago! So it unfolded that indeed there were vuvuzelas, and quite naturally - I rushed off to get my VUVUZELAAAAAAAA!!!! In a short bit of time, for me I could have waited for the bus but instead I hopped four stops on the Brown Line and ***BOOM*** - I was there. The first door opened and the second door led to cool air conditioning and a wall of Chicago Fire jerseys. Chicago Fire?! No, where is my FFF jersey?! I began my search with the World Cup playing on a TV overhead tuned into Univision with the Spanish commentators. I searched and found Argentina, Spain, Portugal, Brazil, South Korea, Japan, and Brasil. What was this, the UN!? I kept looking and couldn't find France anywhere! My frustration started rising and I feared that I couldn't find what I was looking for! Aha! I spotted the famous golden rooster that marks true FFF gear much like the famous cock validates the Sriracha bottle. I grabbed the white road hat and nodded. France was here representing, and I could grab myself a piece! I also found the soccer track practice jacket, but had no interest in that jacket for the summer, I wanted a home blue jersey - after all, they are Les Bleus for a reason! After scanning my eyes left and right and walking through the children's section, then the equipment section with hard shinguards, shoes, cleats, and all manner of balls and flags, I saw what I was looking for: FRANCE! Allez les bleus, it was about damn time after two weeks of failed Chinese and US Postal delivery, I had a French Football Federation jersey in my hands! If you must know, I once owned a cheap imitation that read FRANCO off a one-eyed man after getting a hair cut on the day of the 2006 World Cup Final. I was the only person in Pint cheering for Zidane while the rest of the bar looked at me with derision. Unfortunately, that jersey was destroyed and that is why it was so important for me to have an authentic one in my hands once again. As I mentioned, my heart stopped beating. As I went for the checkout line, I asked if the vuvuzela on display was for sale and they instantly loaded me up with a vuvuzela in my shopping bag and I was ecstatic. Sure, I had never played one and had no idea how to use one, but that was the whole fun of getting it. Now thanks to Michael G, I am equipped with proper Les Bleus gear, a vuvuzela, and a heightened sense of neighborhood pride with my 105,221st reason to love living in Albany Park. As for my heart, it now beats an infatigable BBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ read more

I've been a client of them for years, but after i came in with my two boys and lady screamed at my kids for touching the soccer balls, I will not be back. Its suck that thanks to a female cashier's attitude the owners will pay for it. There is a way to say things, and this lady just said it the wrong way. I was already paying over $200 i had bought in soccer merchandise, otherwise i would of just left. The guy who helped me was awesome, so just make sure you don't take your little ones, and if you do, be prepared to get screamed at. I guess you can't have it all. Your choice. read more

Overall a superb soccer store. Great selection and a real sense of attention to getting a diversity of items in--the cleats we need, jerseys from teams all over the world--the type of balance between fan-oriented items and player-oriented items. This is harder to do than one might presume: even the divisions within giant companies like Nike or adidas for replica/fan items (e.g., a Manchester City jersey) vs complete custom uniforms for teams are totally different departments. So when you ask "why do they have the new Barça shirt but don't have my sons' U-13 team's jersey ready?", well this is at least part of the probable answer to that. I have seen stores I feel are a bit better, yes, but even my very favorite soccer store of all (United World Soccer of Orlando) has a staff that's pretty hit or miss. Some are great, some not so much. I'm not sure what it is about soccer stores that breeds this issue: I've been in ample running stores and other sport-specific stores and not found the same problem, but I've encountered customer service here which while not rude certainly, is at times . . . spotty. That said, it is better than most. By far. Try to go in in person or order via their website though: on the phone seems like the worst way to communicate here. Despite what one disgruntled parent said, they DO have girl's cleats and clothing here. Look at their website. They do. I have coached soccer and also served in two positions on the board of a major soccer league, so let me explain something about team uniforms. Nine times out of ten when uniforms have not been ready on time or incomplete I've found, at least in my working experience, that it's the fault of the coach, the team mom in charge of uniforms, or someone else on the club side. Not the store. At times, yes, stores mess up, too, but normally a club has tried to rush an order or changed their mind three times during the ordering process or something else. Maybe that's why so many employees at so many soccer shops are ornery: they have been dealing with club orders all day. Teams, appoint one person (if possible not your over-worked coach) to handle uniforms. Have him or her do all communications with the shop and also have that person pick up the finished uniforms. Then have them make sure all names are spelled right and such. Have the coach distribute uniforms at practice or have kids come to the "uniform mom" at her house and get them. When I coached, too often a parent would leave a shop with more than just her own kid's stuff (planning to give it to a friend or whatever) and all manner of issue came up. Streamline this as far as possible for everyone, please. read more

Surprised, I was enter and exit greeted, that in itself around these parts is unbelievable, you can only usually expect that at boutiques and other fine shopping establishments. I walked in looking for a large selection of hats, I had one in mind I was hoping to find. Alas, the selection of hats they have is plain and boring but priced alot better than I've seen at other shops. They keep them spread out around the store I would guess because the selection is limited. Gosh, there were so many attractive athletic tops and training pants, many styles, colors and brand varieties. If you like Puma, you may like to have a look. Their merchandise is not cheap, I found a few pleasing Puma and Nike jerseys starting at $60 dollars. For the soccer enthusiast or the person that likes to be seen.. Brightly colored in red, yellow or orange, fitted shirt / jersey showing off your physique. read more

Not cheap, but they have the best and most current stuff here. Top of the line boots, awesome new jerseys......... Just be prepared to spend some money. read more

I must say first off I love my Bears,Bulls, Sox and Hawks, but soccer has always facisinated me. Started follwowing the English premeire league a couple of years ago and on advice from a co-worker, I checked this place out for a place to gear up. This place has every major club and if they don't have it they can order it. Their prices are a bit expensive but since their dealing in a niche market (at least here in Chicago) I guess they have to be. I've been to the one in Cicero but you need to come to the their main location to get the full effect. Parking is always an issue on the North Side so be aware of that if you're coming in from the 'burbs. Update: So I'm going to the the big Chicago Fire/Man U. game and want to grab some new Man U. gear. I go on their website and see that their having a sale on the new jerseys. I drive over there and they would not honor the price on their website. What kind of business would do that!? So I in a left in a huff and decided to call over there and talk to manager and after stating the situation she finally relents and gives me the internet price. So just a warning to you all. If you see something on sale on their website, they may not honor it in the store. Call first and make sure they will honor the price, before you waste a drive over there. read more

Our experience at Chicago soccer was great, Pablo made sure we got what we wanted and even went as far as picking out all the blue boot style turf shoes when they didn't have the shoe that we looked for. We ended up picking a shoe we liked even more and for a lesser price! I would highly recommend shopping at this particular Chicago soccer read more

I haven't been to the actual store but I did order some Nike cleats online from them. The cleats were on sale and of really good quality. The product is great. The shipping over here to Houston was fast, I received them in less than 5 days. I would definitely buy from them again in the future. read more

Best Soccer shop around. They have great gear and lots of it. If you're playing and need shoes, this is the place to go. If you want soccer casual this is the place to go. They can even set your club up with team uniforms. If you're lucky to catch one of their sales then you've hit the jackpot. They're also the official store of the Fire and Red Stars and carry lots of the gear in the store. Always a great trip. Being a long block from the Western Avenue Brown line station is also a huge plus. read more

Great Customer Service! I had an issue with a defective product and they solved the problem
