"Best Footwear Experience--Ask for Steve!" I've been to countless running and shoe stores over the years, but my experience at the Campbell Sports Basement was on an entirely different level. If you are looking for new shoes, do yourself a favor and find Steve in the footwear department. His knowledge is genuinely unmatched. He didn't just point me to the newest or most expensive model; he took the time to understand the mechanics of my feet and explain the nuances of every shoe we discussed. He even had me running down the aisles in various pairs to ensure the fit and feel were perfect. It was easily the best customer service I've ever had, better than some shoe speciality shop! To top it off, I found out about their "Love Your Purchase" return policy. It's a total game-changer--knowing I can actually test these out and bring them back if they don't work for my feet gives me so much peace of mind. Between Steve's expertise and the store's return policy, I won't be going anywhere else for my gear.

Gait analysis is worth it

I came here with one intention, and one intention only - to get the best shoes to support my busy lifestyle. I was recommended to come here and wondered if it was too good to be true - it wasn't. Rudy introduced himself to us and was happy to help me find the best shoes for my feet. I walked for him to demonstrate the stress my feet undergo, and he immediately knew what I had needed. I always thought my feet pronated but they're more flat and neutral - who knew! I was so happy to have some clues and Rudy recommended me a couple of brands that fit like a dream and felt like I was walking on a cloud. I normally don't wear shock absorbent shoes and it feels like every weight and stress I put on my feet hurts after a long day. It feels decent during the activities like walking or running, but I feel the pain and exhaustion. This was going on for some time! I needed shoes that would absorb the shock and weight, along with being comfortable enough to wear for hours on end. I ended up getting a couple pairs of shoes - one was Hoka and the other I forgot the name of. The Hoka shoes were available to me immediately, which helped save my feet! Perfect size and color. But the other shoes were out of stock so I had them shipped to my house. Overall, they had such a good deal on the shoes, and the service was awesome! Rudy knew so much about the different brands and could tell me what made each special and he didn't try to sell me something that wasn't a good fit either. Every shoe he brought to me was closer and closer to my perfect match - which was narrowed down to two shoes. Getting a couple pairs of shoes that support your feet best is an investment I'd recommend to anyone! Sports Basement gets you the right shoes at a great price, with experts like Rudy helping you every STEP of the way.

You can set up an appointment online or use the kiosk when you get there. If you're picking up or purchasing a firearm, I'd definitely set aside about an hour to an hour and a half because it can take some time. The gun counter line closes at 8 PM on weekdays, so keep that in mind. The employees I dealt with were friendly, professional, and helpful throughout the process. Overall, a really good experience.

With rows and rows of tackle, I am able to find most lake specific lures, weights, bait, hooks, etc. Sometimes I have to go to the store at the lake itself and get even more specific items, but BPS usually has what I need. Whenever I enter the store, the personnel always ask if I need help or direct me to the area where more specific help can be found. Moreover, the store is dog friendly and has dog treats at the ready. Occasionally, BPS will host a Monday club night whereby if you are a BPS club member, you can stand in line to get a light meal and enter a raffle to win items, but I recommend you go early and stand in line or else there will be no more food left.

Great experience overall, but today was a miss…read more I started running and needed a reliable pair of shoes, so I decided to give Road Runner Sports another try since I'd done the foot analysis there before. My first visit with Oliver was awesome. I redid the analysis, and he brought out three pairs for me to try and sold me on custom insoles. He stayed attentive the whole time, even while managing a growing waitlist. I left with the insoles, a pair of ASICS GT-2000s, and socks he picked out, which I'm still training in a month later. I brought my wife back for the same experience. Misha took great care of her concerns and was extremely patient even as the line built up near closing time. My wife left happy with a pair of Nike Structures. I've also visited the Campbell and Sunnyvale stores. They were pushing the customer appreciation month promo, and it worked on me. I'm now a VIP member at the highest tier. Shoutout to Chris in Campbell and Christopher in Sunnyvale for helping me when I was struggling to find a second pair for my rotation. Overall, it's been a consistent experience... until today. I came back to this location for an exchange, and the greeting was a flat, monotone "Hi, welcome in." It wasn't busy, maybe 3-4 customers at most. A staff member helped me within a few minutes but seemed unhappy from the start. I was looking for a specific shoe in my size that I'd seen on their website. I was told it didn't come in my size, but I had to show them on their own tablet that it did. I explained I was in no rush and was fine ordering it online. While I waited to try a pair on, another staff member asked if I'd been helped, which I appreciated, though even that came with some attitude. I tried the shoe on, but honestly felt like I needed to finish up and get out as fast as possible. Maybe they were short-staffed or having a bad day. I don't know. The exchange was completed with a very unenthusiastic thank you and goodbye. Today was a miss, but I'll give it another shot next time.

A few years ago, my partner recommended this place when he bought both shoes and insoles. He gave…read moreme money to buy shoes and insoles myself, so I gave them a try. At first, the gait analysis and fitting felt gimmicky, but since I was playing with his money, I went through with it. I discovered, not surprisingly, that I needed a stability shoe. The staff brought out several styles in more than one size. I'm a little self-conscious about the size of my feet relative to my height, so whenever possible, I don't take their advice to go up a half size. (Hint: it's not usually possible.) I was surprised by how willing the staff was to bring out multiple shoes until I found the right pair for me. Even though they almost always have several customers and sometimes have a line, the staff members always come back to check in, but not intrusively like restaurant wait staff who ask "How is everything?" after you've just taken a bite. The insoles may seem like a gimmick at first, and they will set you back an additional $120. Since they're going to make them anyway, you should put them in your selected shoes. Like me, you will be sold! They are worth it. They will make your feet feel even better in your shoes! Finally, there's the VIP program, which gives you 10% off all purchases as well as between 5 and 15% cash back, depending on your level of membership. Note the recommended number of shoes purchased when selecting a membership level to find the level that's most cost-effective for you.

We placed and paid for our son's complete uniform order on June 18, and almost two months later we still have not received it. I have contacted the store around six times, and each time I have been given a different explanation--first that it would arrive the following week, then delays with MLS NEXT patches, then Adidas jerseys being out of stock, and later that my son's specific size was unavailable. The most concerning part is that several other players on the team, with different sizes, are also still waiting for their uniforms. The players have already been training for weeks without the official gear their families paid for, and we are now only days/weeks away from the start of the competitive season. For a company entrusted with supplying uniforms to a club of Ballistic United's caliber, a delay of nearly two months with inconsistent explanations is simply unacceptable. Families deserve clear communication, realistic delivery dates, and much better service

Usually, when I shop here, I'm wearing jeans, leggings, or something a little more put together. Today, I was wearing sweatpants and a T-shirt because I was just trying to run in, grab what I needed, and head home. After finally getting an employee to help me find what I was looking for, I noticed he continued watching me while I shopped in that area. Throughout my visit, I had to ask multiple employees for assistance, and I felt completely ignored. Two employees blatantly overlooked me and chose to help other customers instead. I can't say for certain whether the way I was treated had anything to do with my race or what I was wearing, but the experience left me questioning why I was treated so differently. I've shopped here multiple times before and have never felt this unwelcome. What should have been a quick shopping trip turned into an incredibly frustrating experience. I had to make a conscious effort to keep my composure because of how dismissive and uncomfortable the employees made me feel. Customers shouldn't have to dress a certain way to receive basic customer service, and no one should have to repeatedly ask for help just to be ignored. I came in ready to spend money on gear for my camping trip, and instead, I left feeling unwelcome and disappointed. It's frustrating to have an experience like this at a store I've previously been happy to shop at. Unfortunately, after today, I'll be reconsidering whether I want to shop here again.
