There are so many things I love about the store!!! The first one being that there, a locally owned…read moresmall business, and the service you get there is beyond anything you will get anywhere else you have ever shopped for shoes. The staff as well, educated and well-versed, and how she was work for overpronation, if you're a runner or a walker, what kind of running you do, they measure your feet I mean, who does that anymore who measures your feet?? And they measure at two different ways. They bring out five or six pairs to start of what they think will be good for the way your foot works. They give you socks to try on the shoes. And when it comes to buying some new socks, if you can't find socks here to wear with your tennis shoes, they simply don't make them. They have loads of cute socks.. and not the cheap stuff that falls apart after two or three Plus, they have a huge selection of Oofos, for both men and women. Orthopedic doctor suggest those to wear as flip-flops because of the way they help your foot and knee. Emily was my shoe fitter and amazing knowledge person extraordinaire and gave me lots of choices and was fun to work with. There's really no other place in the St Pete area to buy shoes and it doesn't matter. If you're not a runner you will get the best fit here for any kind of tennis shoes you've ever put on your feet. Go here. !

I am familiar with the Academy stores that were in Houston years ago. They have really expanded…read morebeyond an Army surplus store of the 60's. We were greeted as we came in.

The employees are rude I was buying a bait caster and wanted to get 30 pound braid on it. But the…read moreguy who apparently works in the fishing department and acts like the paying customer is stupid and doesn't know what their talking about And would not put 30 pound braid on because it might "break the rod" even though the rating on it is for MONO not braid and for braid you double the max mono rating making 30 pound braid useable but the employee would not do that. Also it even shows 30 pound braid as the braid line capacity on the side of the baitcasting reel. Otherwise the selection of gear is ok. The value is average. But overall even if the employees were helpful it's an ok store

I've been a customer since the mid 2000's when Lauretta owned the store. In March 2025 I bought…read moresneakers and slippers. I was assured by JP that I'd be able to replace the inserts for the slippers. March of this year I went to the store and was told it wasn't possible to replace those inserts. I also bought another pair of sneakers. I asked the saleswoman the price she looked at the box and said $199.00. When I got home and checked my receipt the shoes were $229.00 $246.00 with tax. It seems that integrity left when Lauretta sold the store. I've purchased many pairs of shoes at this store,but will consider going elsewhere in the future. Jill Correll

Not immediately but definitely had to do with the shoes. Really pleased. Pricey but worthwhile.
