You'd think that New Mexico would be awash in sporting goods stores, what with all of the outdoor…read moreactivities available, from skiing to great biking, mountain climbing, rafting, etc. Truth is, not so. You can find what you're looking for, but you'll have to look around. This Oshman's specialized in winter fun, and it's been my go-to for ski rentals over the years. If you're planning a day trip to Santa Fe to hit the slopes, rent your board, boots and skis here, they have a solid selection of well-maintained equipment and very, very fair rates. They also won't charge you for two days if you get 'em returned early the next day.

Okay, I have been visiting this Sportsman's Warehouse outlet its opening on August 28, 2004 (and I…read morehave the giveaway coffee mug to prove it!), and they generally have a good selection of guns and ammo at decent (and sometimes great - watch for the sales) prices. It's worth signing up for their emails because you can stay ahead of the specials that way - however this can be injurious to your wallet. I just visited to select, buy and pick up a new heater and I want to make a point to thank both Lance and Ray at the gun counter - they were friendly in addition to being professional and their spirit made these visits nice. Sportsman's Warehouse doesn't get five stars only because they are so brutally understaffed at the gun counter - it simply takes a long time to get anything done because there aren't enough staff there to handle the amount of business they have going on. I'm sort of surprised that management doesn't address this, as I see people getting tired of waiting and walking out of the store every single time that I visit. Management, you're leaving money in their wallets: they came to spend it, and you don't have enough staff to take it - get with the program!

As I walked up I asked if they had cleats and the one talking could not stop for a second but another employee told me "they are back by the stairs". Didn't offer to help and just pointed. After looking around I left the store completely disgusted with their service. I was forced to return due to 2 other stores not having any in stock. I chose a pair of cleats and asked for football gloves. An employee tried to point in another direction and only agreed to show me when I asked if I could interrupt their conversation and have someone show me what gloves they had. Teen (or early 20s) employees should not be managed by another teen (or early 20s) individual. Learn what customer service is if you are going to be working retail. You are not paid to socialize! I would have rather spent my hard earned money elsewhere!

As we walked in he asked the lady at the register where the restroom was, rudely, she replied, we do not have public restrooms, so we walked right back out, loaded the baby, and went home. We will never buy from Big 5 again. When we told our family members my son said he stopped shopping there for the exact same reason. To us it was more about not having a restroom accessible to customers but to get the rudeness as well was just that much more disappointing and upsetting. I will be sure to spread the experience.

I wish they would've had different colors for some of the shoes I wanted, but I realize that they can't carry everything and the value wasn't that great, based on the fact that you can get what I was looking for Chuck Taylor (Converse) cheaper online. If they had more sales where you could say like pay 45 rather than 65 that would be nice. But overall great store and at least the one gentleman was great, so the employees were very pleasant.

I called the store to ensure that it would not be an issue. They were new in the box and I included the receipt. The girl at the counter immediately said they couldn't refund only exchange he tried to explain that we were unable to return sooner because his father just passed after a hospital stay. She said she lost many people last month...!!! Thankfully another girl said it wasn't a problem and did the refund. I am extremely ANGRY and told him to never share our family sorrows or details it is not necessary and so many people are callous and don't care. I will never ever shop here again. The receipt says "famously easy returns". Hmm imagine if we hadn't had a receipt this girl should not be working with customers the attached receipt is so that her associate #346908 the store is 2100 Louisiana shame on you! Rate at 0 stars

They've got tactical style boots, backpacks, luggage/gear bags. I've had one of their rollers bags for 10 years that has gone on almost all of the flights I've been on and despite gorilla baggage handlers still looks pretty good. The sales staff here was friendly and helped us quite a bit. Especially pointing out the sales stuff and making sure we knew all of the bargains to be had. It was a great stop and we saved a lot more money than we spent!

My understanding is that much of the gear is sold on consignment, much of the new stuff that they carry is purchased in bulk at a discount which they then pass on to you. For example I got a brand new REI Flash air pad, wide for $65. I got a brand new SmartWool base layer for $50. And their used gear is priced to move as well. The staff here are super helpful, patient, and will always point you in the right direction even if it's to another store. They clearly live the lifestyle of the products that they sell. I live about 2 and 1/2 hours away and if I call they will hold something until the weekend for me if it's what I'm looking for.

I know of three Big 5 locations in Albuquerque, and I'm fairly confident this is the smallest. It still offers all of the goods (and not-so-goods) I've come to expect from this retailer. My words of Big 5 advice for the consumer win: + I know some of those shoes look like a bargain, but not so fast. Every boot, sandle and sneaker I've ever purchased from this company has suffered a mystery malfunction within weeks. Cracked soles, missing eyelets, frayed laces. Weird. + Same goes for the clothing. Strange design decisions like shallow pockets, poor stitching and uncomfortable materials have taught me to avoid active gear altogether. + Big 5 is your go-to for big brand names at fair prices, particularly camping gear and sporting goods. If it has a recognizable name and it's on sale, it's probably a wise buy. My latest wins: a sun shade for the Rio Grande beach (because Covid), a pingpong table (because Covid), dart board (because Covid) and fishing rod (because Covid).
