I've been driving past this store for years and finally stopped in late yesterday on my way home…read morefrom work for running shoes for me and school sports shoes for my son. I had wrongly assumed it was a speciality (read: expensive) shoe store with a limited range. Boy, was I wrong. It was stocked to the ceiling with many shoes on sale, but what I really appreciated was the service from the husband and wife team. I walked on a treadmill while my feet were video'd on an ipad and then we watched how my foot rolled/moved in slow motion and what options that meant for my feet. Over the years I've bought shoes online (guessing a suitable model) and also shopped at the warehouse style shops in the city where the poor staff are trying to serve five people at once. Having just spent a few hundred dollars at the physio with an injury she believes might have been caused by the wrong running shoes, I am glad I went to this place. I'm happy to report I've discovered I don't have to pay any more for great service and range and having been signed up as VIPS (a free membership) for an extra 10% discount, we'll definitely be back.

For a sporting outlet store, this one is a bit of a disappointment in terms of clothing and…read moresporting equipment. It's not a very big store, and it has a limited clothing range which is not very well discounted, and the same goes for its sports gear. There is some gym equipment, but I'd go to a serious gym outlet store if I was getting anything beyond sporting apparel. However, its shoe range is enormous. There are heaps of styles, built for different purposes, on good specials. I was impressed by the specials bin for footy and soccer boots. Around Harbour Town, this is one of the best places for sports shoes.

This medium sized independent sports store is good for sporting apparel, both men and women, but…read morenot so great for shoes. Their range of joggers and sporting footwear is average, much better for men and kids than for women. They have a good range of running and sporting clothing, specific to different sports. Good running shorts, longer basketball shorts, lots of Running Bare and Adidas, all at standard prices. The shop assistants are very helpful here, which is a definitely plus in a sports store. Their swimming range is quite limited, as they don't sell any swimmers, just a few pairs of goggles. They have a large range of backpacks, and a few odds and ends of sporting equipment and weights.

Converse everywhere, the floor, the walls (almost the ceiling), knee high Converse, sparkly…read moreConverse, checkered Converse, shiny Converse, patterned Converse, every colour, every style, even mini Converse for toddlers! So cute! They do a few other brands, though in much smaller quantity, like Authentics, Airwalker, Saucony and Sperry. Their Converse prices are cheaper than regualar, but the less common styles are not so discounted. I can't comment on the other brands since I'm not familiar with what they usually sell for. It's all very American-cool. Ahh but if you're a fan of converse, it's heaven. You can even get converse key-rings!

If you're buying any kind of sporting attire or accessories it is well worth check Sports Savers…read morefor a cheap price. They stock a wide range of all those sporting brands that you expect to see in a sports store. The store itself portrays the image of a discount sports store, thats for sure. It's almost like someone turned the shop into a time capsule in the nineties. There's also plenty of sports team paraphernalia for all you out there who feel the need to portray their team preferences with a poorly made piece of consumer paid advertising.

So as the name suggests they sell all boating, camping and fishing related items and equipment. And…read moreI mean ALL - their stores are huge and this one even has two levels of stuff. When i went in the first time there was a canoe hanging from the ceiling and a sale display set up inside a tent. It's easy to get around the store and the staff at this branch have always been really helpful. They even have a gas refill area just outside the front of the store. They have a fantastic online shop and I prefer to find what I need, the store it is available at, or in stock at, and the price before I leave home. If I don't have a list when I go here I tend to get carried away so best to get in, grab what I came for and leave before I find a few extra bags in the car and $100 less in the bank account!

He would call someone to assist. I headed to Sup display area and waited, and waited and waited! No one turned up. Two assistants standing at counter when I walked out door. Will not be back.

I was a right little turd on the court, being warned often for my 'super brat' mentality and for my ability for making my opponents (and their parents) cry. Along with my on court demeanour, many things in Tennis have changed for the better, with the equipment leading the way. TP Tennis, just off Payneham Road is a pretty handy shop, stocking many leading brands of Racquet, clothing and balls. They also specialise in restringing, which I could have used a few year back when I snapped 4 strings in 3 weeks......they call me the bullet.....shoot from the hip baby!

For a small store, they seem to have a decent amount of stock and some good brands. So, if you're in the area and need something that is "all things tennis", don't be afraid to have a look see at what they have in store.

I road one for a few years and it's good to by local (New Zealand) when one can. Though I normally shop elsewhere I have recently worked out that this is my closest shop and one that I should become closer to. Stores are always happy to look after they're regulars I have found in the past.

A delightful drive South took me to Port Noarlunga, a place I hadn't been to for some time and it…read moreleft me wondering why I hadn't been back sooner. Many quaint little speciality shops have sprung up in this quiet seaside suburb. Charli Rose is one of these and I was hooked as soon as I walked in to this elegant, Parisian style boutique complete with chandeliers, white furniture and birdcages. The clothes were romantic and ruffly, ranging from daywear to evening wear right through to Bridal. A table was set up in the middle of the shop for manicures which is an interesting add on. Then , through a door on the left the decor moves to rich and luxurious, with an interesting array of velvet dresses. They also stock a good selection of accessories, gifts and home wares. This lovely little shop is worth a trip to Port Noarlunga just in itself.
