Bloomington-Normal doesn't have many sporting good stores. I personally don't know if any other…read morethan Dick's but I know that doesn't mean there aren't more. The few times I've shopped here, I walked out empty-handed almost every time. I mostly go there looking for things I can use at work. I carry a lot of stuff. I was able to find huge book bag for a decent price. It's made my work life so much easier. They only carry rifles so you'll have to go elsewhere if you want to purchase a handgun. I was hoping since they had rifles I might find a molle magazine holder for rifle magazines. I needed new tactical boots for work. A coworker told me how comfortable the Under Armor boots are. I checked out Dick's for them. They carry one set of Under Armor boots but only had 6 inches. I'm required to wear 8 inches. The worst part of the store is exiting if you didn't buy anything. You still have to navigate through the checkout lane area. If the checkout lane is busy then it's not an easy exit. I tried the entrance doors to see if they'd register me standing there but it didn't work. Luckily someone was coming in so I walked back out the front door. It's a minor inconvenience clearly but still noteworthy.

I have never had an experience like this before. I am a person that has always gone into a general…read moreretail store to purchase gym shoes. My MIL and husband and I went into Fleet Feet Bloomington today to purchase gym shoes- we are going to attempt to begin running. We were happily greeted by Dave. My husband was helped by Dave, I was helped by Karin, and my MIL was helped by Julie. To our surprise they measured our feet in numerous manners, examined our feet as we walked, and picked out shoes that they believe would suit our specified feet and walk. Boy do they know their stuff!!! For me, Karin had me try on different shoes and genuinely cared about how my feet felt in them. She even had me walk outside! (which I thought was odd, but makes sense because it is a different surface than inside the store). She explained why the certain brand of shoe and style of shoe makes the most sense for my feet (darn wide feet) and continuously asked how my feet felt in them. She even took a care in what I do for a living (I'm a teacher) and made sure that the style of shoe would fit my lifestyle. The store overall was in immaculate condition and incredibly clean. Every person in the store was exceptionally nice and cared about me and my feet. Shoes were not as expensive as I imagined... my pair of gym shoes was a little over $100. For me and my family, no more purchasing gym shoes at Dick's Sporting Goods or Kohls. We will forever and always continue to go to Fleet Feet!!

Hands down one of my favorite outdoor supply shops. Calling this place a "swimwear" store is like…read morecalling Walmart a bakery, that's just the tip of what they offer. Everything from a large scuba selection, and certification area. Ski rentals, high quality foot wear, and clothes. The is always my first stop!! And they will price match online prices!!!! Who does that!!! Lol. I have come to really love the owners and workers here. High quality service from a literal mom and pop shop (there son works there to, Scuba Steve!) if you were ever wondering a good local shop to park some money, I dare you to stop by here once and not get hooked!

The 1st time visiting Johnston's my 18yr old daughter was buying a helmet for her brother. Since he…read morecouldn't try the helmet on in the store to her knowledge (it was in a box) & because she was using her parents credit card she thoughtfully & kindly asked what the return policy was. The response back was a man rudely laughing at her and mocking her "Can it be returned?" in addition another man chimed in with a random item & also mocked her by saying "Can it be returned?" He finally answered imprudently. My daughter said nothing to the men knowing with their mentality a response would not have been received well. She simply bought the helmet as she was asked to do & made sure to express to us, her parents, the disrespectful actions & atmosphere. Come to find out the helmet did not fit it was to small. When my husband returned it approx. 2 weeks later he was met with the same negative vibe with no provocation. An older man starred at him in an ill-mannered way & when my husband asked if my son could be fitted for skates the staff did not explain why there was a fee to be fitted. We wanted to support this local small business as we know larger companies like Amazon & Dicks are hard to compete with yet when staff are rude & don't communicate explanations such as, " We would love to keep your business so if you buy skates here we are happy to fit you for free. If you would like to buy else were we understand yet to stay competitive we must charge a 25$ fee for the fitting". It gives customers the personal care they are looking for. I would have paid the 25$ fee for the individualized service had we known & been greeted with common courtesy. I will likely stop in to this shop to see if the third time is the charm. This review is meant to be constructive for this shop to make better choices to keep customers coming back. If you only want your regulars - well I hate to tell you hockey isn't like golf where people play into there's 70's & 80's so those repeat customers won't last as long. This is my 1st & hopefully last Yelp review. Things are hard these days & I'm not here to make it harder.

A few years ago I brought my beat up bike in. The male owner asked me immediately about buying a…read morebike instead of fixing it, I explained I was working on building my own but needed this to get around. He was generally short with me. We agreed that I'd leave it to replace some parts and he abruptly asked about a deposit, which was fine. As I went for my wallet he abruptly asked to inspect the bike, again fine but he seemed annoyed. He saw a dent and handed the bike back explaining he can't be liable. I said nothing stood head down thinking about purchasing parts or not. Then the lady owner, who I didn't know was an owner then, approached said, "do you need help" his reply "can you tell this gentleman to leave, I can't work on his bike". I have no idea why he said this. No clue why he was so rude and short through the whole exchange. I understood his reasoning and said nothing against him or his decision. The lady owner responded to this post a year ago saying they told me multiple times they couldn't work on my bike. A complete lie, and I don't understand why they would act like that and then lie. My best guess is I was wearing my work clothes and they must treat poor people extremely disrespectfully. Don't go to a place that would treat anyone like this. This is 100% accurate description. And I'm not struggling with it. I'm just informing the public, if you just want a repair you will be treated horribly I never questioned safety. I understood the comment, but tossing me out while quietly considering my options deserves an apology, not lies from you. After an apology, I'll consider not posting this anymore. For anyone who has gotten this far. Check out the other bad reviews here. The "lady owner" doesn't understand how to treat a bad review. Considering she completely lied about my experiences, I now feel sorry after reading a Number of other disgruntled customers experiences. They are an entertaining read; to see a pretentious, lying business owner at work. "Now please move on" ..... I mean come on, how old are you.... This is pettyness and lies. Bad reviews happen when there is very disrespectful customer service; learn to take criticism, improve from it and move on...... see what I did there

Oh, he even made me leave all the ammo I brought at the front desk. I wish I would of just walked out.... an employee later told me that he would of let me use the ammo I brought if the owner wasn't there. Everything else was fine but it made it really pricey.
