“Great place for skater clothing and shoes. Vans are often priced well. Not too many shoes in large sizes like mens 13 and up, but they do have large sock sizes. Clearance sections are a must to check out. Lots of hoodies, plaid shirts, cargo pants and such. Some sports team merchandise can be found here as well. Burbank store is good as well. Unfortunately, one Valley location closed down. New Star is a great retail store! A skater paradise. Be sure to shop frequently to come across their sales.”
“I started getting my shoes at Fleet Feet way back when it went under a different name (Phedipides. I'm 110% certain I spelled that incorrectly) to address a diagnosis of plantar fasciitis from my podiatrist. I'd never go anywhere else. The staff are always wonderful and the selection of shoes is vast. Plus, if not for Fleet Feet I never would have discovered the wonder of the footwear which goes by the name of Hoka!”
“I called Uniformity Wear looking for a very specific pair of Dickies pants for my daughter, and Asuntha was so kind on the phone that it immediately made me want to come in. In-store, she was incredibly helpful and attentive, she truly searched high and low and found the perfect pair for my daughter.
What really impressed me was how she worked her magic with alterations. She turned what felt like an impossible alteration into something completely doable and she did it within 30 minutes. The turnaround was so quick and the work was excellent. We were genuinely surprised that we not only found the pants and purchased them, but were also able to walk out of the store with them altered and ready to go.
Asuntha is personable, patient, and genuinely kind. The store is also very affordable, with a great selection and excellent service. You really can’t beat that. This will definitely be our go-to uniform store from here on out.”
“Fleet Feet is the only local place I trust for running shoes. Their employees are always friendly and knowledgeable. Their shoes are of the highest quality and the reps do a great job of being patient and fitting you with the best shoe for your needs.”
“I highly recommend joining their VIP club. It allows you to try multiple pairs of shoes until you find the absolute best pair. Tell all your friends, colleagues, kids, relatives, and most of all yourself to head over.”
“I had not used a tennis shop in a while and came up on Sweet Spot. Alfredo (believe name, will double-check and update) from the get-go was friendly and helpful. One can tell Alfredo likes tennis and helping people with their tennis needs! The latter, to me, is helpful in these businesses, people who want to help. So I dropped off the racquet (have two) that I have been using for the last 8 or so years. I don't play too often now.
Alfredo helped figure out a string, since current strings have no info on them.
When he returned to get the frame that was restrung, Alfredo gave a nice smile and, again, so helpful. I waited while another customer was enjoying talking. I waited and then Alfredo helped me.
While I was waiting while other customer started talking again: I found grip that bought.
The customer ahead of me and myself got to spin the wheel on some sort of giveaway they are doing. Isn't that great! No, I didn't need free things to support a business, but these things really can make the customer feel appreciated when business goes above and beyond!
Winner winner!
The above was an experience I had having a shopper(this matters so much too sometimes more) so I shared it and here is the specs on the shop
1. A great inventory of shoes, frames, strings, gripes, and all things relating to tennis has more than enough inventory.
2. Great information
3. Excellent stringing services, options and prices
4. I am not sure about the other things in the place; frame repair, grip replacement, head guard replacement. I'm not sure, so I would have to ask
5. Super easy to find
6. Ample parking in back on or street
7. Paperless if want receipt to email, text
Thank you so much. Will update when hit with strings!”
“You wouldn't think Van Nuys would have a legit fishing and tackle shop, but goodness this is the place. Huge selection of everything you need, and extremely knowledgeable and friendly staff.”
“I came today with my dad to get wildland fire boots and I had a great experience. Noah was very kind and helpful. The store was clean, organized, etc. Great store. Highly recommend.”
“store has all firearm Accessories you would need and the guys that work there are very Knowledgeable about there stuff was a Pleasant experience would definitely go back”
“I would like to recognize and commend Peter Martinez and sports tutor team for providing an amazing customer service experience, starting from my first call to customer service for tennis ball machine repair that has been sitting in a shed for 15+ years to delivering machine in a brand new condition in a fastest possible time. They honored their quoted repair cost even after finding internal parts severely damaged with wiring chewed and gross rat stuff everywhere. Communication/updates was excellent along the way, and delivering and picking up machine was efficient. Amazing customer service!”
“Mega atmospheric shop for "Sports memorabilia" fans - signed T-shirts, boxes, cards. You can immerse yourself in this world up to your ears. For me the service was very nice and polite. Only positive impressions”
“I had a fantastic experience at Roger Dunn in North Hollywood and want to give special recognition to Nick Steiden for his outstanding customer service. Nick was extremely helpful, approachable, and maintained a positive, upbeat attitude the entire time. He made the process smooth and stress-free, taking the time to answer my questions with patience and empathy, while being genuinely understanding of my situation. It’s not often you come across someone so dedicated to creating a welcoming and supportive environment. Big thanks to Nick—I’ll definitely be returning!”
“My mom and I were shopping peak Black Friday sales and a very nice Lady named Jayda helped us out and found the perfect running shoes for me. She answered every question we had with a positive attitude, and was just so lovely :))”
“Hello everyone, I just want to thank Jacky for her attention, she knows what I'm talking about and I need her. She is very attentive and I did end up buying my girdle and it turned out very well, thank you very much for your immense help.”
“Francisco is awesome! He’s helped us out with Gear for all three of our boys and my husband lol. We moved to Georgia and still, he will ship us what we need. Won’t shop anywhere else? ?”
“It's amazing my kids love it and my friends have a great time... Just act right and treat everyone with respect and you'll get the same treatment in return.... You'll want to visit again and again...”
“My husband and I visited this store on 7/6/2025 and Mayra assisted us throughout our shopping. She helped us find everything we needed. A pair of shoes I really wanted was not available in my size, but Mayra went out of her way to find them in my size at another WSS store which we were able to pick up. We wanted to acknowledge her great service: thank you to Mayra and we will be coming back soon for more.”
“Nice lady at the register directed me to exactly where I needed to go for what I wanted. Came back and they opened another register to help me since there was already another person buying their items. It's Big 5. They did a good job for me.”
“This place has a huge selection of fighting equipment. Nancy was very helpful with whatever we needed she made the whole process so easy . Will highly recommend to others”
“I’m a photojournalist and I called in looking for a pair of waders for storm coverage. The crew at the shop took the time and talked me through some of the options for my specific needs on the phone. At the store the whole team really helped to make sure all equipment fit and I was prepared for using the waders properly. They even found me a great deal on some sale items which was incredibly helpful. This shop has the kind of genuine friendliness, knowledge and fun that seems to be lost in the current shopping market. I will definitely be retuning here for all future wading needs and my now seemingly inevitable venture into fly fishing.”
“I’ve never been a fan of suits — mostly because I’ve always had a hard time finding one that actually fits me well, especially because of my height. I was honestly dreading the process of finding a wedding suit, and after some frustrating experiences at other stores, I wasn’t expecting much.
But then I walked into Jimmy Au’s, and everything changed.
They had so many suits that actually fit me off the rack — something I’d never experienced before. Not only did I find a suit that looked and felt perfect, but the quality was excellent too — it felt sharp, well-made, and super comfortable to wear all day.
Fred and Jimmy were amazing. It was the best service I’ve had anywhere. They treated me with real care and respect, and made me feel totally comfortable from the moment I walked in. What started as something I was dreading ended up being one of the easiest — and most confidence-boosting — parts of the wedding planning process.
Highly, highly recommend.”

“Great place to visit. I am not on any team but I can tell that this is a very professional and a well developed place for any pros out there. I went on the public skate this winter and I am impressed. Great place with kind staff who are willing to help. There are also these blue seals that you can purchase for twenty dollars which help you ride easier if you are a beginner. I also recommend you buy tickets in advance so you don’t risk not getting in. There aren’t unlimited tickets as I know.”
“Found this place in my neighborhood. I had been searching for Kali sticks and found them here. This place is a little gem in my neighborhood with so many martial art items. Felt like a kid in a candy store. The lady who helped me was awesome. Definitely would come back for more essential marital art supplies.”
“Love this store! I got my dad the Lumintop FW21 Pro flashlight for his birthday and engraved his intials on the side. He was in loveeeee and so excited. Great quality and their shipping was on point. Thanks! Thanks! Thanks!”
“I stopped by this Boarders store inside Northridge mall while my wife was shopping. I knew they would have skateboard here so I wanted to check out what they had. The store is a decent size on the second floor near the men's Macy. They were not busy on a Friday night and they have a decent amount of skateboard and skateboard accessories here. The prices of the board were reasonable and I also looked at some of their shirts. Nothing grab my attention so I didn't purchase anything. I also looked at their sunglasses selection at the front of the store but I prefer Oakley brand.”
“Best customer service in fact best and most knowledgeable boot shopping I can remember. Definitely going to return, I feel I left with such quality i won’t be able to return often enough.”
“I stopped by this Zumiez store while my wife was shopping inside Macy. The first thing that stood out to me was the skateboard so I looked at some boards. They also have clothing here and shoes as well. The store is a medium size and the employees are nice. They asked if I needed any help but I just told them I was browsing. I think the skateboard prices are reasonable here and I saw a nice skull bag but I didn't purchase it.”
“This is a fantastic place filled to the brim with sports products of any kind. The staff here is always nice and grateful. The Hot Wheels section brings me joy. Thanks.”
“MVP Sportswear is the #1 place to go to when it comes to ANY custom apparel. I contacted MVP to get some custom jerseys done. From start to finish Helen took care of me. She is so sweet and caring and is passionate about her work. Customer service was great. Product was great. This place is great. When I got to see the jerseys I was in complete awe. They came out better than I had expected. If I ever need any custom clothing again, MVP will always be my first choice. Thank you so much to Helen and her team for all their hard work. MVP sports wear is the absolute best!”
“I didn't find what I was looking for (a very specific shade of brown dress shoes), but the service here was phenomenal and very helpful so I would definitely come back here if I needed another type of shoe. I would say, don't come here if you are looking for dress shoes. The selection is very bad, if anything. But they have everything else, including a lot of nice work boots.”
