This place is by far the best. I also recently got those cutomised insoles for my shoes as I've been exeriencing shin spints lately when I'm playing. I cannot remember the exact amount I paid as I picked up a few other things as well, but they are definitely under 50 E and will only have to be replaced in six-nine months (depending on how often I use them) The best bit is that I can then put them into any shoe/runner I have. I would definitely recommend this place for both value for money and quality. Anytime I've gone into them they been we'll stocked up. It's right in the centre of town too which is great. (handy to nip in during lunch or straight after work if I need anything) Five Stars for this place.

In a previous life I used to a soccer player and coach, seriously. I took it very seriously too, I…read moresaved a long time to get my first Diego Maradona boots and I know that a part of Maradona transcended into my feet. So this place took me down memory lane, I still get excited by football/soccer shops. I love the smell and the different coloured strips. This place has everything you need as a football fan or player. Extensive selection of jerseys, boots, balls etc. Also very reasonable prices compared to the bigger branded stores. When I was there they were having a 50% sale off a lot of products.

For a shop with a lot of trainers how come this place never has any that I want... no matter how…read moremuch I browse. Actually I recently became utterly disillusioned with the idea that Champion Sports actually sold sporting goods when I went looking for golf balls and none of their store had any. Champion sports seems to mainly stock sport inspired fashion like football jerseys and those tracksuits that no one ever wears while engaged in any sporting activity.... but you'd think with all those trainers they'd have something I liked... unfortunately they didn't!

So I'm taking my daughters's boyfriend (let's call him G_) to see Ireland play Sweden in the Aviva…read moreand figure we should dress for the occasion. I nip into Champion Sports to see if I can pick up the official jersey. They only have a few left, S/M/L no XL or above. There was a roving assistant on the floor who was informative and guided me to a changing room. I tried on the L, and although snug, I decided to take it, and a S for G_ as advised by my daughter. Meeting the rest of the family a short while later, I asked G_ to try on the jersey and it was a little small so I decided to change it for a M. On the way back, i chanced into another shop and found an XL which I purchased for myself. On returning to Champion Sports, I encountered a different floor assistant, who advised me that they handle exchanges & refunds at the regular till (no special back of the shop customer service till) . I went to the till, and with no quibble exchanged the S for a M and returned the L for a refund. The assistant was apologetic that they did not have the XL in stock, and went so far as to advise me to try alternative stores (not Champion I might add) in the area. I don't shop in sports stores as a rule (hence the XL) and so will probably have little cause to revisit any time soon, but I have to admit that I was very pleasantly surprised by the quality of service and the customer focused attitude of all of the staff that I encountered. Good job!

From wicking underwear to base layers to shirts and pants to windbreakers to full on parkas, Patagonia can take you naked and outfit you instantly to face the harshest of climates. Their products are extremely well-made and last a long, long time. Which is a good thing, because there's no way in hell I could afford to shop here on a regular basis. Now, this location is an outlet, meaning they sell merchandise from past seasons at a reduced price. The prices are indeed reduced heavily, but the fact that the starting price is so high means the reduced price is still high. I took a look around the store and was dismayed that I couldn't even buy a single item. Even a bra was only reduced to 27 euros. Sad face. If you are a camping nut or just enjoy being outside, this place is worthy of a stop in. Their stuff is really excellent and fun to just look at a wish for, as I do. The main drawback is that, because it is an outlet, you don't have as many options. You're definitely not seeing their full range, which is even more impressive.

Arrived at this shop, hidden in the grounds of Fitzwilliam Tennis Club, with a certain suspicion…read more Fitzwilliam TC is the most expensive, most exclusive in Dublin, and I was doubting the recommendation from a friend that I'd get value there. 30 minutes later I walked out with a tennis bag, socks, Ballport, 25 tennis balls and 2 new pairs of K-Swiss tennis shoes. Great range, great advice, and I reckon the price was as good value as you'd get anywhere, and the service better than most of these anonymous big multinational sports shops. Went back a week later to change the Ballport for the bigger one, and no quibble, and no rip-off. I'm going nowhere else for tennis and squash gear from now on. Trust me! Benny

This place does a roaring trade in rugby gear for three reasons: Firstly it's the official Leinster…read moreRugby kit place thing-a-ma-bob; secondly, it's at the epicentre of a large number of big rugby schools, not least of all the rugby academy they pretend is a school, Blackrock College; and thirdly this is where lots of south side mom's* go shopping. I bought an Irish rugby jersey here for our disappointing last World Cup. I had to buy it in kids, age 10. How embarrassing is that?! Now, I'm twenty-three, five foot nine (and a half, mind you,) and I weight nearly seventy kilos. I demand that Canterbury present to me a ten year old that size. Now. See, they can't! Still, it's a good gag, I've gotta give it to them there. They really had me on that one. I suppose it's in the ethos of the sport too, so fair play, fair play. The staff here are friendly, it's Irish owned and they know there stuff in particular when it comes to rugby stuff. Four stars. *and Dad's but it doesn't sound as good that way :)

Not one of the best sports shops around.

Not that there's much, it's a fairly small space. And they've taken up outside with Jansport bags (very nice for backpacks or what have you, but in space this small, you'd think they'd want to minimise superfluity, not expand it...) They've got the basics I admit, gumshields, rugby shirts, shin pads and the like. Not the best range of footwear, which, unless you do something like martial arts or swimming is kind of a big deal) and their swimwear isn't the broadest choice either, which is odd considering that one of the biggest clubs in Ireland is based around 10 minutes away so you'd think that could be a bit of a draw. My advice? Go to Lifestyle in Dún Laoghaire.
