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.

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.

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.

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.

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!

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.

Lesley and Michael Visintin run The Stage Shop in Leigh Street. Although it's called The Stage Shop…read moreit really caters mostly for dancers; and young dancers doing jazz or ballet class, so even though they do have a great range of things, they are not so much about acting as they are about dancing. This is important because there are other places in town actors should go if they are looking for materials such as makeup, fake blood etc. Not having said tat, I do not mean to undermine the value of The Stage Shop because they have all the ballet shoes, jazz shoes, unitard, headbands, dare I say legwarmers and other things like hair nest, the substance of a hair bun... I'm not sure what you call those things that help make a perfect hair bun but it's like a donut made of a spongy type of material and it works every time. They certainly are helpful, and they can tell you some great stories and name just about every great ballet class or school around the city and metropolitan region, so if you have a youngster looking to extend their strength and abilities by taking a dance class, or indeed if you have a dancer in the family, this is a shop where you will find pretty much everything they would want or need when it comes to dance.

Since that time though I have played every sport under the sun, shade and often under the weather also! In the old days there were two sports stores, the only two that any respectable (and fashionable) sportsman would go. One has closed (and is currently a ladies underware store I believe....nice) and the other is still going, stronger than ever in Bailetti Sports on Grote. Now located in a far mor emodern store that its old digs, Bailetti's has everything you could ever need for pretty much every sort you could dream of (although I didn't see any curling stones when I was last in). The Prices are pretty standard, but you can come across a super special or two in their clearance room or between seasons. In terms of selection and variety there are others around of a similar, but due to Bailetti being an SA Icon, it will get my vote every time!

I love sport, particularly soccer, variety, fashionable clothes, quality product, fair price and…read morelocal businesses. Bailetti ticks all these boxes and more. Easily located on Grote, there is plenty of street parking (don't go Friday night though) and it is a big store with heaps to choose from. They have a VIP card which always gets you discount, friendly staff, the store is never that busy and there is a sale section in a separate room with heaps of bargains for a range of ages, sexes, sizes and tastes. I like their range of soccer boots and the people that serve you know about the boots and find ones that fit and suit you best. Bailetti is a great sport store, with heaps of equipment as well. They can also order things for you and customise products with numbers, names etc. And they cater for teams as well, sorting out strips etc.
