With many outdoor gear shops around Glasgow, this shop has to be one of the biggest that l have…read morebeen to. This outlet has a water feature in the centre of the shop floor & a gas fire that keeps the store warm. There is an upstairs area that has a cafe where you can buy a hot drink & bite to eat whilst you shop. There is a large selection of waterproof jackets and accessory says well as the usual scarves, hats and gloves with some items being on sale. Good solid boots, shoes and trainers as well as climbing gear & tents. Helpful staff dotted around if you need any help or advice.

Went in to book a long overdue service for my road bike. Ended up buying a new one altogether…read more Craig, the supervisor of the bike store was brilliant from start to finish. Knowledgeable, advisable, approachable and very honest. I honestly couldn't have asked for a better service. A great team.

While other "sports" stores such as JJB and JD are less about sport and more about providing…read moresuitably garish attire for the unemployable to collect their benefit money in, Greaves is exactly what it says, a sports store. Here you can buy everything from football strips and dartboards, to javelins, golf trollies and punchbags. The selection is massive, and the staff know what they are talking about. A few years back I'd have given them 5, but sadly now their collection of football strips isn't quite as charmingly obscure as it once was. Not long ago you'd find Red Star Belgrade and FC Basle here, but now its mainly British and Champions League European teams. I might start a campaign for them to bring back the Z list.

Hey Mr Grumpy on the 3rd floor - why so glum?…read more I was kidding when I said that putting lawn bowls on the third floor was to kill off pensioners. But your snide positive response sounded serious. Cheer up and stop hoping for the death of your customers Your bowl selection was pretty crap as well. Maybe if I wanted to buy 150 quid on luminescent football boots that resemble a blacklight scene from CSI, I would have been better treated. When you are paying Greaves prices, the derogatory manner comes for free.

Selling in the main there own brands which look to be pretty good in quality, this place has a comprehensive range of gear on offer. In a good location with a pretty striking and noticeable shop front it may well be worth your while hitting this place if your looking for honest out doors gear. However if your a brand hunter on the search for the house hold names then this is not your store.....

Been dragged in here a few times by a friend of mine who is into outdoor sort of shenanigans like…read morerock climbing. (Note: rock climbing is infinitely more physically demanding than you could ever ancitipate.) Anyway, we went here for camping gear and they have a really good selection, and across a range of prices. It's clean and tidy inside. Looks a bit Scandinavian. If you're serious about your camping or other outdoor activities, this might be a good place to get good gear. My outdoor needs are limited to music festivals, and as such, Argos does me just fine!

Stumbled upon this wee shop around the corner from our flat the other day. On our quest to get…read morehealthy and fit, the boyfriend has gotten back into the game of tennis and squash... and vows to make me play squash, although I'm really hesitant because I'll probably knock myself out on the court (literally). It's a pretty basic shop specializing in squash and tennis equipment as well as apparel. Seeing all the tennis skirts gives me flashbacks of all my tennis lessons, and repeatedly doing the forehand swing over and over with a ball machine with my slave driving tennis instructor when I was a little girl. The sales guy is super friendly and very helpful, and the boyfriend got an awesome deal on a Head squash racket that was originally £135 for £45! Score! The apparel is pretty limited, but it's all the basics you would need to play the game. They offer restringing services as well, from what I could make of the contraption at the front of the shop :-) Bottom line: convenient location, friendly and helpful service, and great deals.

Was told about this little shop by a friend and thought one of my rackets could do with some fresh…read morestrings. Phoned to see about same day stringing and was told that they could do it. Dropped the racket in and discussed the tension as it was an older racket. Unfortunately my racket cracked during stringing which does happen on occasion. I spoke with the manager dreading being told not much I can do or it was an old racket. Instead he was really fair offering to replace it with one of their ex demo rackets ( many others wouldn't). Having read other forums others have been told it's the chance you take and been left out of pocket. Got a decent racket with only minor cosmetic marks in return. All in left the store feeling really happy with the service and satisfied that they made the best of the worst case scenario. Would recommend them to anyone.

Now the…read moresurprise comes entirely from its location, its not in anyway on the beaten track and will only really get business from those who live in the area or use Maryhill road to commute. Given this relatively low catchment area its nice to see that its still going strong after a number of years in business. Its a good store, with good stock selling gear at relatively reasonable prices (for football tops that is....can anybody tell me my polyester is so expensive as soon as you put a clubs crest on it??) and gets my thumbs up!

This place is alot bigger than you would think, over 4 floors…read more Everything 'outdoorsy' you could want to be fair, including camping gear, windproof jackets and a good range of climbing equipment including shoes and wee chalky bag type thingies. Prices are reasonable to expensive, and the staff are really knowledgable, but can get in your face a wee bit when you're just having a look. For the keen outdoorsy type chap or chappess though, I believe they could be really useful. Great selection, well laid out.

If there are any items not in stock they can check their database and see if it's in any of their other stores. I'm lucky to have an outdoors card that gets me 10% discount every time I shop in a Tiso shop. Some of my past purchases have been great deals such as the GoPro camera's and the products that go with them. I've purchased Rab branded products from this store for the straps to fail after one day. You can buy camping gear, outdoor waterproof jackets even wellingtons here, the prices aren't to bad, but it's better to know someone that has an outdoor card or a student to receive that10% discount.

I went into JD sports Buchanan street for a new pair trainers …read more The staff were helpful & whilst I was looking asked me if I needed any help ! He advised me that I could also look at junior sizes as I am a size 5 . Good customer care , as I found a pair and they would of been more costly in Adult size :) 'Junior Nike Air Max 2017 ' £95 wow But worth it ! I found the staff patient with me as I took my time trying on other makes of trainers. And I also like the range of sports wear in this shop , although its a smaller shop to the Argyle st store . Pretty quiet & less Hustle ! My friend recommended JD sports as what they stock is Quality & indeed it is :) Also Open until 7pm ..

This store is a lot smaller than the huge JD on Argyle Street, but therefore feels a lot less busy…read more It doesn't look quite as nice but the customer service in this branch is good. I popped in today to buy some new trainers as my current ones were looking a bit worse for wear, and I was in and out within 20 minutes. I decided on the Adidas Gazelle ones, which were £75!!! In fact, all of the Adidas Originals shoes are £75, and they are that price in every shop, so maybe it is Adidas setting prices for stores to have. The store is a bit dated and hidden away from the world down an escalator from where Buchanan Street becomes Sauchiehall Street but as it is just a small doorway, many people overlook it in favour of the Argyle Street branch which is always buzzing. The quiet atmosphere of the store means that you will receive better customer service and to be honest, that is the most important thing about shopping.
