I decided to check out this shop because I'd never been to a place even remotely like this before…read more There were a myriad different jerseys hanging in the windows and the sign out front said "Official Jersey Store" so I thought it was going to be a shop totally filled with jerseys. Well, it was and it wasn't. Yes, it is filled with every imaginable jersey but it is also filled with tons and tons of sports equipment. I was pretty excited because my boyfriend and I had been talking about getting some tennis rackets, but we're on a tight budget. I wandered around the shop for a while before I approached a sales assistant and asked for a little advice. He said they had some rackets but that another location would have more in stock. He also said that they come in a range of prices, from 20 euros and up! That is not bad for a tennis racket, not bad at all! I didn't end up buying anything, but when I need some sports stuff this'll be the place I come looking for it.

I was prepared to hate Champions Sports because this city has killed the sporty look. I'm so tired…read moreof seeing people in tracksuits that I was afraid to go into this shop. I overcame this fear when I saw that Champions Sport was having a 20% off Nike clothes. This brand is expensive so I was pleased with the markdown. Inside, there were some amazing offers, the best one being a Nike Baywatch red bikini for 11 euro. I was gobsmacked: the bathsuit was quite fashionable and good quality, much better than the ones in Topshop. Besides the swimwear, the shop also sells great Addidas tracksuits in bright colours like purple, red and green. I would wear one of these if I was running a marathon or working out. Contraily to my original belief, Champion Sports does have some decent sporty clothes that won't make you look like something out of Little Britain.

They have everything you could possibly ever want! Stocking all the major labels like Nike, Reebok, Puma etc they have everything from gym gear to football boots. Funnily enough I went in here a couple of months ago to buy football boots (PURELY for tag rugby of course) and I hadn't a notion what I was looking for. Luckily, after much laughing at me, one of the male sales assistants helped me and my shopping trip was a success!

So this place took me down memory lane, I still get excited by football/soccer shops. I love the smell and the different coloured strips. This place has everything you need as a football fan or player. Extensive selection of jerseys, boots, balls etc. Also very reasonable prices compared to the bigger branded stores. When I was there they were having a 50% sale off a lot of products.

Lifestyle Sports was where I was brought once a year as a kid to be treated to a new pair of…read morerunners and a swim suit. It was the only sports shop I knew of, and more than likely, it was probably the only one in Dublin. This was of course before the days of the Jervis Shopping Centre, and the Lifestyle we used to patronise was far smaller and dingier than the one here now. Lifestyle is a 100% Irish owned company (lots of bonus points for that) and has a particularly Irish focus, with lots of GAA gear in stock. They seem to cater for people who actually play sports, rather than the likes of Marathon and Champion Sports or Foot Locker that sell flecky tracksuits to kids who think they're fashionable. It's a good place to go to get a tennis racket, swim suit, running shoes and footballs.

I bought a pair of expensive hiking boots there in December last year and quickly found out there…read morewas a size problem. There was no problem with the return. Unfortunately I had another problem with a serious defect in the replacement boots while walking the Camino. Again there was no problem when I returned. They gathered the facts and agreed to replace the boots with a new pair. The customer service was friendly and helpful and common sensed! Ian in particular was great to deal with. Great place to shop.

I needed wetsuit booties and I got wetsuit booties…read more I immediately sought out a sales person after I stepped through the door and they brought me through my bootie options. Then I was brought my size for a try in the booties I opted for and they seemed right. I tried the next size down just to be sure. And I was. Bish bash bosh, booties got. (I love the fact they are called booties, makes me smile every time) To be honest my visit here today was rushed (as I was tight on time and knew what I wanted), but it appears to have a lot going on in the store. The Great Outdoors brand is a bit pricey though, this and their other main store around the corner are the only shops of their types on this side of town and they know it. But the staff know their stuff and they do stock a good range of gear.

What is this place? So you're probably a tourist in Dublin looking for a premium shopping…read moreexperience. Arnotts is the place to visit. I would describe it like the Bloomingdales or Saks 5th Avenue or Ireland. There's not a lot of options for individual luxury stores in the city so this place is a one-stop shop. Selections might be more limited because each store is smaller, but rest assured they have all the popular items. Tax-Free Shopping: For tourists (non-EU/GB residents), the tax-free shopping option is a huge plus. When you purchase your item, let them know you're interested in doing the tax-free rebate. You should bring your passport but the person who helped me said a photo was fine. They'll print out a receipt for you to submit to Planet at the airport. The minimum purchase is 75 euros to qualify. If the purchase amount of your goods is below 2,000 euros, you don't need to get a customs stamp at the airport. Just return your completed form at Planet desk after security or deposit it in the Planet drop box and they'll do it on your behalf. Considering the VAT is 23%, this is a great value for all you visiting shoppers. Don't forget to stop by this place and check it out before you leave town!

Actually I recently became utterly disillusioned with the idea that Champion Sports actually sold sporting goods when I went looking for golf balls and none of their store had any.

So I'm taking my daughters's boyfriend (let's call him G_) to see Ireland play Sweden in the Aviva…read moreand figure we should dress for the occasion. I nip into Champion Sports to see if I can pick up the official jersey. They only have a few left, S/M/L no XL or above. There was a roving assistant on the floor who was informative and guided me to a changing room. I tried on the L, and although snug, I decided to take it, and a S for G_ as advised by my daughter. Meeting the rest of the family a short while later, I asked G_ to try on the jersey and it was a little small so I decided to change it for a M. On the way back, i chanced into another shop and found an XL which I purchased for myself. On returning to Champion Sports, I encountered a different floor assistant, who advised me that they handle exchanges & refunds at the regular till (no special back of the shop customer service till) . I went to the till, and with no quibble exchanged the S for a M and returned the L for a refund. The assistant was apologetic that they did not have the XL in stock, and went so far as to advise me to try alternative stores (not Champion I might add) in the area. I don't shop in sports stores as a rule (hence the XL) and so will probably have little cause to revisit any time soon, but I have to admit that I was very pleasantly surprised by the quality of service and the customer focused attitude of all of the staff that I encountered. Good job!
