I tried on the Adidas Tokyo shoes I've been eyeing, but once I saw them on my foot, it was a hard no; they looked like banana boats, and that's not cute at all. I ended up getting a black and cream gum bottom New Balance pair that I really like. I'm planning to wear them with a dress and some lacy socks. The young lady working the shoe section was on it, assisting me and several other customers at the same time, and she didn't miss a beat. She did everything with a smile, too. Dick's Sporting Goods is always well‑stocked, organized, and reliable. Definitely recommend.

Very Disappointing Customer Service Experience…read more I had a very unpleasant experience with a member of the leadership team named Billy during a recent visit to the Dick's Sporting Goods at Del Amo. I attempted to return a pair of youth cleats that were still in new condition. They showed no signs of wear on the soles--only a small amount of dust from my child trying them on briefly on a dirt field. The cleats were black, making the dust more noticeable. I purchased them just 27 days earlier and had my original receipt. According to the return policy printed on the receipt, returns are accepted for items in new condition. Billy immediately refused both a refund and even a store credit. Because he was the acting leader, I requested to speak with the store manager. Billy seemed reluctant to involve the manager, but I insisted. Store Manager Val inspected the cleats himself. He explained that worn shoes are generally not eligible for return, but after examining the cleats and confirming they were still in new condition and within the 30-day return window, he approved a store credit. What disappointed me most wasn't the policy--it was Billy's customer service. Throughout the interaction, he had a dismissive attitude, made very little eye contact, appeared irritated whenever I asked a question, and showed no interest in resolving the situation professionally. Those are qualities I would not expect from someone in a leadership position. I appreciate Manager Val for taking the time to inspect the item and applying the return policy fairly. Unfortunately, Billy's approach made what should have been a simple return into an unnecessarily frustrating experience.

BIG 5 seems like an antiquated sporting goods store from yesteryear, but it's outlasted it's peer…read morecompetitors like Sports Chalet, Copeland's, Sports Authority, and so many others. All that's left is Big 5 and Dick's. REI doesn't count, as they're too niche. This location has a lot of merchandise and it's inherent problem is the aesthetics of the layout of the store. It's way too crowded and cramped for shopping and could use an expansion and makeover where it feels well-lit and spacious. It's sort of the difference between Target and Wal-Mart. I think Big 5 could use new branding as a company. It's a good store with good prices. They do "over coupon" as Bed Bath and Beyond did. You can always anticipate a $5 off of $15 type value-pac FSI mailer coupon and almost won't shop without a coupon. It's a longterm flawed business strategy. Their prices are quite good in many ways. I went shopping for shoes and they had shoes on sale for $30-40 where I went next door to DSW and most of their comparable shoes were $50-55. You'd think DSW whose only business is selling shoes, would have a competitive edge, but it doesn't and didn't, at least for active/athletic shoes compared to Big 5. I'd say check Big 5 out first or last, but don't buy any shoes until you've visited a Big 5 like this one. Parking is fairly easy in this outdoor strip mall of sort, that has a Sizzler, Harbor Freight and other businesses.

Customer service doesnt exist here. Jaslene was our cashier…read more The transaction experience was awful. My husband had a little sticker shock at the register for the 26 lb weight we were buying. He took a moment because he thought it was a little less online. When he asked "and that's the total with tax?". Normally you hear back a confirmation but instead she said no with tax it's $73.62. Mind you we were at the register to pay not for a price check. My husband was looking at his phone and she blurts out "you want it or not?". We told her yes but I had to explain to her he is just taking a moment to look up the price. Normally someone at the register gives the total price when purchasing not sub total. I walked away once my husband got the receipt and was already a good ways away from the register and she yells out "Good Bye!" In the most patronizing tone. It was the cherry on top for this review. We are all human and can do better but this right here is why online shopping and self check out is putting cashiers out of jobs. Maybe she should remember that the next time she wants to be unjustifiably rude and try to make people feel less than with "you want it or not?". So if you want your intentions to be buy something rudely questioned in front of other guests than this is the place and Jaslene is your go to.

This was my first time in Dick's Sporting Goods today…read more I purchased a couple of Yeti Rambler drinking tumblers which came with straw caps. After calling Yeti, I found out that I could purchase a magnetic slider cap to fit the tumblers. Rather than order from Amazon, I saw that they were sold at Dick's and placed a pickup order. I was notified probably within an hour that my pickup order was ready. I headed over and brought one of the tumblers into the store to be sure it fit. I was told that if I opened the package that it couldn't be returned. I eyeballed it and it looked like the right size. I didn't see many customers in the store, but it was huge and had a lot of merchandise. I was considering looking at weighted vests, but service wasn't very friendly, so I left shortly after.

In steps as varied as helping us select equipment, designing our workout space, and figuring out how to maximize our budget dollars, the Dumbell Man team was outstanding. After the job was completed and we began to utilize our finished space, we came to realize that some of our assumptions were incorrect and some of our gear was unneeded (and the lack of other equipment that we'd neglected to order was sorely felt!) Though the oversights were our own, the Dumbell Man team consistently made themselves available again for after-work and helped us create the best workout space we could. The finished project is functional AND it looks great, exceeding all of my expectations. I would recommend the Dumbell Man to anyone looking to create a great workout space. Thank you!

This store receives high marks for all three metrics: service, selection, and value…read more Let's start with service. We came here right when it opened and was assisted immediately. I asked if they carried the 1080s in a size 7.5 in black. She asked if I wanted the regular width or wide version. I didn't know there were options, but having wider feet, I asked for the wide one. She left and returned with two pair of shoes in different widths. One regular and one extra wide. The extra wide one fit like a glove. She gave me time to try them on and walk around. She then came back to check up on me. The selection here is very good. I had scouted the 1080s in a specific color and size online and this store had them. In terms of value, I would also say I got a good deal on these shoes. Six months ago, on the website, these shoes were selling for $165. I got mine here for $100. Some final thoughts: The man at checkout was very nice. He did want us to provide an email for the receipt. Apparently if you lose your physical receipt, you can still return your shoes with the emailed receipt. I had no intention of returning the shoes so passed on providing the email, but this may be something for you to consider if you're not entirely sure those shoes you're buying are keepers. Also, please be aware that the shoes are organized on the walls by shoe models, not male or female.
