They will make sure you are properly fit & will teach you how to wear the shoe properly. Great place to show kids (teen/tween) how to wear a properly fitting shoe. Also, you can order custom t-shirts, sweat shirts & team gear. They supply many of the area teams with team sweats & uniforms. The prices & quality are also very good! They usually have some great local team apparel in stock. Also, this store carries the quick pick ups you need like mouth guards, tape, socks & shoe care. They also carry Power Balance bands and Phiten. I'd rather shop here than any big box shop!

I…read morefound this vendor on line and placed a call, Mr Katz answered asked me about the level of play and made a recommendation. I asked about his pre break in process and had him do it. Wow the glove arrived in game ready condition. Mr Katz is truly a professional his glove recommendation was spot on and his break in service was perfect and his price was more than fair. You cannot get this type of service from big box stores. Try Katz Sports, you will not be disappointed.

This store? Is awful. From the inept and inattentive help to the limited products available, this…read morestore should be avoided if you are serious about any type of sport. If you just want to look like you're active, then by all means snatch up the latest Nike sneakers, North Face gear and pro sports merchandise but if you actually participate in a sport, the selection is lacking. I wanted to look at a Garmin for timing instead of using my iPhone on a run. I stood at the counter for 5 minutes before walking away. Neither of the sales girls would break from their conversation about their weekend plans to assist me. Very poor customer service. I needed a hydration belt and a knee strap for my half marathon. No one in that store had a clue as to what I was talking about. I found a limited selection of hydration and fuel belts in the running shoe department. The guy manning the shoe department was a little lost as to what exactly I meant when I questioned him about the hydration belt being easy to use and withstanding a 13 mile run. Ok fine. I was then directed across the store for a knee strap which was "somewhere around that basketball hoop." It wasn't; it was way over by the softball and baseball gear, but whatever. The selection was poor. No athletic tape, very random sizes and almost all of the knee products were out or in sizes of XL-XXL. Very disappointing. And finally, when I went to check out, I was accused of shoplifting GU energy gels because I picked two up, put one back and carried the other to the register. The idiotic checkout girl with an overly annoying lisp asked where the other GU was. When I told her it was back on the shelf, she called for her manager who called security to look at my purse. Really? All that for $1.79 of energy gel which was NO WHERE in my purse? Never again. To be treated poorly in a store with poor customer service, inept help and products that are never in stock, I'll pass. I'll make the trips to Fleet Feet in West Hartford or Woodbridge Running Company for my running needs and where I won't be accused of shoplifting.

Great store! I purchased sneakers, fitness equipment,…read moresunglasses, sporting gear from this places and all were top notch quality. Prices are right where they should be, especially considering it is in a mall right off of the highway. Employees try to sneak in the "rewards card speech", but it is a credit card so unless you shop there frequently say no thank you. $300 for each reward last time I checked. It is always clean in there and I always find what I am looking for. Everything is very organized. Parking is great. There is a dedicated ramp right outside the building. This place is a must for any fitness nut or camper who lives in the area.

I continued shopping and perusing the necessary items that I was able to find... until I couldn't find anymore. Matt, an associate, took the time to help me locate the remaining items that I needed. There were some that he ended up having to go to the back stockroom to retrieve (he ended up going to the back 2-3 times, God bless him!). I ended up being in the store for over an hour and a half, but the experience was pleasant and well worth it. Ronan my cashier helped me close out my order with speed and efficiency. The store manager Sarah-- you have a great staff! Dana, Matt & Ronan-- you guys rock. Thank you all so much for an awesome experience and for the great customer service. This will NOT be my last trip here!

Over the years, they have never disappointed me and I absolutely love going here for all of sporting needs when possible. They have cleats, custom team wear, and equipment for any sport you can imagine. If they don't have it then they can order it for you. The price is MUCH cheaper than large chains. I prefer them over larger retail sporting good stores because of the personal attention and care that the owner put into. In addition, it is always nice to support small businesses whenever possible. There's a small parking space on the side near Walgreens. Go give them a try, they won't disappoint you.
