All the employees were so kind, knowledgeable and helpful! I was asked many times if I was finding everything okay and if I needed any help. They have machines you stand on that measure your feet and see where you put the most pressure on your feet so you can find the best shoe for you. They have so many options to choose from and are happy to order anything they don't have at the moment. Of course running and sport shoes are expensive but my Hokas were actually cheaper here than the actual Hoka website. They also have a student discount if you're currently a student!

Got my feet evaluated and my first pair of Hoka running shoes. The staff was fantastic and super helpful for what I was looking for and answered any questions I had. They did not have the shoes in stock and told me I would get them in 7 - 10 calendar days...I got them in 3 DAYS and the shoes are AWESOME!!!

1st Place Sports is an outstanding place to buy running shoes. Their staff is patient, helpful, knowledgeable, and always takes their time to work with you and ensure that you find shoes that you will enjoy. If they don't have the size or color you like, they will order it for you. This is a great local business to support!

The store was packed when I visited which i took as a good sign nevertheless I was greeted immediately and asked if I needed help. During the fitting I found out I have been buying the wrong size sneakers my whole life! The girl helping me patiently listened to my feedback about my current pair, then made helpful suggestions as i tried out different brands and styles. After unsuccessfully trying 6 or 7 different types she helped me find the perfect fit. I never felt rushed or pressured to purchase, they even offered to hold the shoes I picked so I could come back after payday! Great store, great selection and great staff! I will definitely be back for my next purchase and will point others to this business. Thank you First Place for helping me save my joints and my feet at the gym!

I am a really indecisive person, and a very competitive runner. I had been wanting some new racing shoes for a while, the expensive, carbon-fiber plated kind, and I finally said it was time to make a purchase. I really didn't know what I was looking for, but I went to the Baymeadows 1st Place Store, as I was told they had the biggest selection, and I left so happy with a pair! Dylan helped me out, explained and let me try on every pair they had. It was so helpful! I ran my first race(s) in them on the Saturday events of the Tour de Pain, and it was so fun to put my new shoes to great use!

What an outstanding staff. Im new to running and they were so helpful to me. They fitted me, brought out about 10 pairs of shoes to try on, just took there time a d earnestly wanted me to have exactly what I needed. Its rare to find that kind of service. I was referred here by a friend, and the recommendation was spot on.

Walked in, was greeted with smiles! I saw some shoes on their website but went into the store to try them on. They had exactly what I was looking for, in multiple colors. I was in and out within 15 minutes! Everyone in there was super helpful and friendly!

This is what true customer service looks like! Coop did such an amazing job with helping me pick out a good shoe, we did the foot analysis and I ran outside as well. They were starting to get busy but both associates were able to attend to everyone kindly and professionally. I’ve had the shoes for about two weeks and they actually are perfect for me… Thank you so much for the level of service that was provided!

Well, I wasn't going to leave a review but 2 weeks after buying 2 pairs of shoes...well paying for 2 pairs 1st Place Sports suggested I leave a review so I guess be careful what you ask for. Two weeks ago at the baymeadows store the rep was very helpful and found me a pair of shoes I liked. I paid for two to use in rotation but I only walked out with one and they ordered the other to be delivered. Two weeks later I still haven't received the second pair. So I have not tried them because I need two for a rotation. I guess if they asked me to provide a review they also expect they should have been delivered. I called the store but the phone just rang and voicemail was full. So not sure when I will get my shoes....guess I have to go back in person

My husband and I walk everyday. We had been buying shoes that were not working for us. We decided to go to 1st Place Sports, and like always they found shoes that work very well for both of us. In the future we will go to them when we need shoes. It is much cheaper than buying multiple pairs of shoes and still having issues.

Get variety of shoes. Adam was very patient while I tried on quite a few shoes. He also made sure the shoe fit my foot properly--at the toe, on the sides, and at the back.Very pleased with the shoes & the customer service!

I traveled to pick up my race bib and wine glass. Before I left, I had to buy the bone conduction ear headphones. There were a lot of athletic products in the store. Many were on sale outside of the store, too. If I had stayed 10 more minutes, I would have bought more sneakers. One great store to shop!
