I'm not much for reviewing sporting goods stores, as I tend to purchase new running…read moreshoes...oh....once every couple years or whenever the tread on my shoes resembles the tread of used tires on a '93 Chevy Blazer. But I just had to give my two cents on Up & Running because...I just can't fathom how or why this location only has 1 review. In the last 2 years. This simply will not do. El Paso must be sleeping on Up & Running. This place is like the Macy's to our Walmart; which would make The Big 5 more like...the K-Mart to our Sears (you see where I'm going with this, right?) I know what you're thinking; "it's just shoes and stuff, right?" Here's the thing. The customer service is what separates this place from The Big 5s and The Champion stores that try to sell authentic, high quality running shoes. Because while fancy shoes are important, so is buying the correct shoe. I have flat feet which are also wide. So, imagine my surprise when the guy at the store informed me there were basically only 2 running shoes that would suit my needs. I wasn't offended by this news. What impressed me more than anything was his level of expertise. He had me walk in a straight line in socks only in order to observe my posture and stance. That's how he was able to recommend which running shoe to purchase. I've never had customer service like that in any other store. You can tell this guy understands what makes a good running shoe for the right foot. What I'm telling you all is if you're the kind of person who doesn't want to waste their time purchasing some half-assed $20 pair of fake running shoes you can purchase at Walmart and are in the market for some high quality running shoes (and aren't afraid to shell out some Tony Stark level cash), then I highly recommend you check out Up & Running. They'll have you...up and running...in no time (gawd, I gotta write some better material)! I'm giving this place 5 flat feet encased in well cushioned soles out of 5.

Called them to order a pair of running shoes for the hubby as they are listed as a Brooks retailer…read moreto inquire about the Brooks "Split Size program". (Brooks is on of the only companies/brands that does this but you must order through one of their retailers.) The gentleman I talked to on the phone didn't know what I was talking about, put me on hold and then came back to tell me the only thing they could do would be to order two pairs of shoes. Um, no. I subsequently called another retailer in Colorado Springs (where we found out about the program originally) and had absolutely no issues ordering two different sizes for the price of one pair, giving me a military discount, and offering to ship them to me to boot. Up & Running needs work on their phone skills/customer service, as well as apparently on knowing their product and programs available for their brands.

My son's school recommended that I come here for his PE and uniform shirts. I only buy his PE…read moreshirts here. The polo shirts for his uniform are less expensive at other stores. However, I can't find the PE shirts anywhere else. For that reason, I've been coming to Sports World for a couple of years now. I think it's a local business. If it is, that's great! Each shirt I bought was $10.95 plus tax. The shirts include the mascot/logo from my son's school. Whatever happened to wearing any old shirt for PE? It's a small place but they got the job done quickly. I told them exactly what he needed and the rest was history. I was out of the store in about five minutes. Sports World specializes in embroidery and logos on shirts, caps, etc. They also have several other options on their website. I'm sure I'll be back whenever my son needs something for school. I might consider getting a cardigan for myself. I love those things!

I was pleasantly surprised at how beautiful the store is and how amazing their dress selection was. I easily found a few dresses I loved but took a day before rushing back and purchasing the dress I fell in love with. The staff member that helped me find my dress was so welcoming which made me feel so good after having been rushed off the phone by another staff member because they were to busy to answer my question about dress colors prior to me purchasing my gown. I understand being busy but that did make me feel a bit off knowing I was purchasing with them. Even though I only had that one issue during the purchasing process I'd still recommend any bride to try this place out! They have a great selection of gorgeous dresses you'll be sure to find the perfect one for you! Alterations were a bit of an issue. I scheduled probably too far in advance the first time and the seamstress reassured me to come closer to my wedding date. After my first fitting I left super excited to pick up my dress the following week. I arrived to pick up my dress but was shocked to see that not everything was completed and I had to wait longer in order for them to fix the issues. Overall they did have the work done that day I just had to wait longer than I had expected. My dress came out beautiful but wish I didn't have to deal with that stress being so close to my actual wedding day.

Everyone talked a good game at first, but I found little follow through from anyone (including local jewelers, as well as the "name you know" chains)... Only one truly showed up for the big game - Jewel Gallery! Alejandra was amazing, looking for what was ultimately an almost impossible request for one of the stones, but knowing I was on a timetable, she pushed through insane winter storms, lack of inventory nationwide, and an almost "unreasonable" request on my end, and made it happen! She kept me in the loop every step of the way. Linda (one of the owners) stepped in personally when needed to make sure I got what I needed, when I needed it, and was always so excited to be a part of making this momentous occasion as special as possible. Everyone was so friendly and helpful, I couldn't ask for anything more! Come to find out, they have done a tremendous amount of work for my mother on some very old and complicated jewelry to some new items she got from them... In fact, I think my mother's exact words were. "You would have been an idiot if you had gone anywhere else!" Well, without a doubt,she was right! Thank you Jewel Gallery, especially Alejandra and Linda! You made one of the most special days of my life even better and easier... Oh, and she said "YES!"
