First time I went in just after moving and the young man suggested the Tampa running magazine and explained about how races are set up. He then walked me around and pointed out how the store could help me as an athlete. Very helpful! Then I just walked around and looked at products and shopped for items I was considering. I found the energy enhancers I was looking for to help me with my races and he assisted me with a few products I wanted to try. My second visit, I had a yelp coupon and was able to buy a pair of shoes and get $20 off the shoes. Fantastic! I didn't even need to buy the coupon, they just gave it to me. What?! Great shoes, great service!

Additionally, Feet First has a 30 day guarantee on their shoes for any time you have buyer's remorse. I also want to share a small anecdote that demonstrates the nature of this store. I have a pair of Shokz OpenRun headphones, but I lost the proprietary charger when I moved here. I asked the person running the store if they sold the charger for these headphones since they sell the headphones themselves. They unfortunately did not sell them, but the woman gave me one of her extra chargers at no cost. Wow! They have my business for life!

Love Love Love my new little Yeti roadie 8 cooler in Rescue Red!…read more I needed a new small cooler that was perfect for day trips out & about & the little "Yeti roadie 8 in Rescue Red" is just perfection. La vie en rose OuiOui. It holds up to 12 cans or just a few with some Sammy's/Foods. Perfect for a short trip to the beach also. I don't like to carry a lot & my other yeti is just too heavy for me to carry, so this one is perfect for trips by myself or with Sir Hubbers. It comes in tons of colors but I looked around & decided the Rescue Red was the one I needed to Rescue! Hahahaha. We usually stop in here for Sir Hubbers athletic socks and/or golf balls, somehow he loses a lot of both lol However, we usually find some fun casual t-shirts, caps, & fun camping gear here also OuiOui. We have a fun little gas Coleman gas stove we take camping. We usually get the little fuel containers here for it. There is also TONS of fishing gear, something for everyone, a complete sportsman's paradise. This store is always very nicely organized & clean. Service always comes with a smile :) That's what keeps us coming back! "Capture the Fun" at Academy! hahahah. Highest Recommendations:

I ask my friend which is the closer sport store I can get an emergency pair of shoes. They indicate to me there is no close by sport store. I should try the Largo mall which is 10 minutes away. I found Famous Footwear in Largo Mall. They have the high top gym shoes that I need to protect me from high ankle roll. I bought an usable cotton cloth shoe and try out in the gym. But after few games of badminton, I feel paint at the toe. I took the shoes I bought that day and return on the following week when I return to the gym. They clerk of the store allow me to exchange. They are very friendly and helpful. I got the next exchange pair that fit me. Now I put this pair in the car for emergency.

And after more googling and deal diving, I found what I was looking for at a store I have rarely considered going in to. The mall this store is located in houses several shoe sources and after hitting the first two and not finding anything suitable, I gave myself an attitude adjustment and walked in. Lots of shoes. Every possible make and model. And lots of athletic shoes to boot! It was fun to have a selection to choose from and I eventually settled on a New Balance running shoe. With newfound enthusiasm I wandered into the sandal section only to find Teva flip-flops on sale...WHAT A HELLUVA SHOPPING DAY! New running shoes and must have beach footwear ~ it just don't get any better than that! Oh, by the way, they will ship the shoe of your choice, FREE, to your home, if they don't have your size in stock. I'm an instant gratification girl myself, but this may come in handy for some.

I might like the Tarpon one a little better if for no other reason than the selection. I ended up having to go to Tarpon anyways to get the bushings I wanted. All good. Dude was helpful but not annoying like they can be at mall shops. He kept me from making a mistake with my set up too. I almost out 169s on my card, but the 159s were the right ones. Independent Hollows, son! I never owned a Santa Cruz board in the old days, but my brother loved em. I had been sweating the Dressen Rose Cross for a minute, so I grabbed one finally! They had Spitfires 80HD Chargers too, which I think are discontinued by the manufacturer. That's a bummer because these wheels are dope. I usually use OG Reed's bearings, but dude convinced me to try Super Red's. No regrets on that decision, either. It was a bit more, but I really dig the bearings they feel crazy fast & smooth. Might be the wheels too since I've been riding 99s for a while prior to setting this up. My sister in law got my brother some shoes and dude gave us a bunch of stickers. I promised I'd stick em on every cop car I saw while on vacation. Good looking out, Westside. I'll see y'all again next time.

She genuinely cares about her customers, and it shows every time we visit. Honestly, if Boot Barn were closer to our house, we'd probably be there way too often!

My quest for a hat started all because of going to the Yelp Cosmic Rodeo and I needed a hat, like, PRONTO--but I didn't like the lack of choices I saw at Target and Burlington's. So, what else is there to do besides now own a quality-made cowboy hat? They have a rather large selection of hats available, but knowing nothing about cowboy hats (and hats, period), I needed a little help. The nice girl at the store approached me and asked if I needed help, to which I was like, "OMG, yes PLEASE!" She helped me out in getting the right size and trying it on then took her time to talk to me about signing up for free membership. Well. How can I say no? I can't help but notice they have quite a few dresses available and they are ADORABLE. The boots looked pretty sweet too. As for price--not bad for what you get. I did a cold search online to see what a hat would cost in Amazon and in another custom shop, and it's right on point, if not slightly less. I did get a pretty basic standard hat, but it's classic and beautiful, and if I'm going to own a cowboy hat, may as well get something that would go with anything and that I'd wear again. (DEFINITELY to the next Yelp Cosmic Rodeo!)
