“I've had nothing but great experiences with the fellas from Chicagoland Sports Cards. Very polite, fair prices, and a great inventory to choose from. I pulled a sick Dwayne Wade Gold Vinyl Auto #'d 1 of 1 and didn't have to break the bank to do so.
They also have a great account on WhatNot as well (Chicagolandbreaks).
10/10 would recommend,

“Devyn was awesome sales person!! He was so knowledgeable about the correct measurements and best shoe style for my ankle as I am currently in PT. Very friendly and you can tell he loves his job and likes to help the customer have the best experience.
He recommended the inserts for my Brooks and that made a big difference for my support. Highly recommend store and Devyn!”
“I obtained a pair of used spikes and found that the "nails" were uneven; I called Xtra Mile Running and spoke to the owner, Chris. He told me to bring them in and replaced the defective spike nails for free, even though I was willing to pay for them. It was very kind of him. I intend to purchase running shoes for my child, in future, from him.”
“This was the easiest and most enjoyable purchase experience ever. This place had the best deals around and Bill hooked me up with everything I needed. My new Cforce600 is looking like a beast and I can’t wait to hit the trails. If I ever consider buying another ATV I’m definitely coming back. Thanks to Bill and his team.”
“I go to Fleet Feet to buy gym shoes. They are very helpful and want to fit you with the correct size shoe and the shoe that is the best fit for you. If they don't have the right size or color you want in the store, they will get it from another store for you. I recommend Fleet Feet for any kind of athletic shoe you are looking for.”
“I love this place! I visited to restring, and the explanation of the differences in strings was easy to understand, and he also gave me suggestions that matched my play style!
It was a great experience!”

“Just like any other TJ Maxx, if you have time to hunt and search, you may find good deals. Not too of the line but good quality, on line is always a better variety”
“I had a great experience, as always, at Road Runner Kildeer yesterday. Demetrice (I think I spelled it correctly) was amazing, patient and helpful. I tried on a bunch of shoes to get the right fit and replacement for my old shoes. I just love that the staff here is so helpful and friendly. Thanks, Road Runner!”
“We bought a new racket for our daughter yesterday. In crunch of time they got the racket ready to go within an hour. Excellent customer service. One stop shop for all professional tennis. Owner and her staff will go above snd beyond to meet your needs. Very impressed. Reasonable rates and large variety of options. Thank you for your service.”

“I have had the pleasure of visiting 847RC several times over the past month or so and I had to share what a special place the team over there have curated. When I first began my running journey in 2008 there were only proper running stores in Downtown Chicago where I could get a proper fitting for my stride. Those days are so long gone thanks to 847RC! ??♀️Now, I can simply call upon my friends down the street at 847 to help me feel my best while I pound the pavement. I know exactly where to go when I need to get fitted, vent about my tight IT bands, stock up on goo gels, and be a part of a running community that truly treats me like family every time I walk (or run ?) in the door. Not to mention, they carry all the high-performing gear brands at friendly prices for those of us who know that what you wear and how you feel on your runs make all the difference!Whether you’re just getting started on the path or are a seasoned Ultra runner, 847 has your back (and feet!). Stop in and experience the shop for yourself today! Lake County is so lucky to have you, 847RC! Thank you! ??♀️”
“They were extremely patient as we tried on at least 15 pairs of shoes and were very knowledgeable about the different types of rackets. Also appreciate how they weren’t just trying to make money; they told us not to get some things because it was unreasonably expensive for our level :)”
“Shopping here is always a breeze! The owner Mark is always ready to help, and it's an easy process to get fitted for the right shoe! Plus I love shopping at a small business knowing my money is staying in the community! Highly recommend Runner's High 'N Tri for walkers, runners, and anything in between!”

“Love this store!
Think it's a secret gem that has amazing deals on brand name sportswear. It's great for the whole family and they even have a lot of items besides clothing.
I personally love it for fishing gear and always find amazing deals on flies!”
“Shoutout to you guys for the excellent customer service! The young guy and the lady working there today (around 1:00 PM today) both went above and beyond trying to help me without me even asking for it. I had just come in for a lanyard, but this is the kind of treatment that keeps me coming back to stores. Keep up the excellent work, and thank you!”
“This was my first time ever walking into this store. I never went in because I thought it was a bunch of knockoff stuff but I was wrong. This store has everything I need for sports. I’m a BIG Chicago fan and I know out of all these stores in Woodfield mall, this store has the most variety of stuff to choose from. I would always shop at Lids because of their coupons. I’m hoping this store has the same sales or coupons like their competitors. But I will definitely make this my to go to sports store. Also, I was very impressed by how nice the staff was. I was greeted nicely , got help as soon as I needed it. A BIG shoutout to the Rally staff at Woodfield mall? #23”
“Rainbo is the best place in Chicagoland for all things skating. Their expertise in skates are second to none. I highly recommend you call and make an appointment if you need any maintenance or need to order skates. They are extremely busy because of the high caliber of service, and you may not be able to "drop in"”
“It’s a bit of a drive for me but worth it. I contemplated saving money by ordering online but… they always make sure the fit is right for the style /age needed on dance shoes. Prices are very reasonable for quality products. Every time I leave I’m always glad I stopped in and feel confident in my purchases!”
“Great local hockey shop. Super friendly staff and they are the best sharpeners around! They are one of the few places in Chicagoland that still sharpen by hand. Worth any drive!!”
“Greatest source of sports clothing and attire for the local fan in all of Us. Shop no other!Alex and Staff are Courteous, Attentive and Always helpful and knowledgeable. The very best in products and selection.”
“Hands down some of the nicest people you’ll ever meet in this line of work. Amazing pros and home to the legendary Racket man. Guaranteed to walk out happier than when you walk in. Fresh hot coffee always brewing and the facility is spotless and clean.”
“This store is so cute. I was gifted a backpack a year ago and finally went in to get it embroidered on Black Friday, nonetheless. I left it while I shopped around the mall. The staff was friendly and very efficient. If you have a cheerleader, you need to go check out the merch at the Cheer Shoppe!!!”
“Better than Bass Pro.Easily the greatest fishing store around. Dare I say it... better than Bass Pro Shops. While it may look unassuming from the outside, it probably has more and better options than BPS. Owner is also a super nice and extremely knowledgeable guy. Not at all pushy-- helped me through a lot of questions as I am getting into a new kind of fishing and set me up real nicely. Definitely coming back often.”
“Best ski shop in Chicago. Artur, Janusz, Ben and the rest of the staff provided exceptional service. Their expertise and knowledge is second to none, they have been involved in skiing their entire livelihood. Selection and pricing is great. If you need any of ski equipment, fitting or professional tuning/waxing done this is the place to go for sure, highly recommend!”
“My daughter plays catcher on a travel softball team and we were in the market for her own gear. It was nice to go into a store and get an informative explanation of the product. We also were in the market for a new bat and it was nice to be able to try out a few before purchasing. They also have competitive prices. This is the place we will go from now own for any equipment needs”
“Super knowledgeable and cared about running and ensuring we got the correct running shoes. Took a look at my sons balance and stride and listened to his concerns and picked out the shoes he should try. The knowledge itself was 5 stars, but the sincerity and friendly attitude made this a great place and a great small business to support. We were visiting, but if they were in Virginia I would never go anywhere else.”
“One of Our Favorite Stores.
We always have a great experience at REI in Vernon Hills. The staff is knowledgeable and genuinely helpful. We shop here for athletic shoes and outdoor gear, and my husband recently bought a bike the service was amazing from start to finish.
We’re also REI members, and the member deals make it even better. The store is big, easy to shop, and has a great selection you can actually see and try on.”
“We bought a pair of Nike sneakers from Champs at Woodfield Mall and had a smooth shopping experience. The store was clean, well-organized, and had a good selection of Nikes in stock.
The staff was polite and efficient—they helped us find the size we needed and processed our purchase quickly. It wasn’t an overly personalized experience, but everything was straightforward and hassle-free.
Overall, a solid place to shop if you’re looking for athletic shoes or gear. We found what we needed and left satisfied!”
“Just picked up our order of hoodies and it came out perfect. I was working with Barb on the order and the level of customer service was outstanding. Quality is great and pricing very reasonable. Glad we could support a family owned business not and online giant.We will definitely use Ultimate Screen Printing for future projects.”
“Bought the copa pure .1’s yesterday for clearance and accidentally bought the wrong size (one full size up). Even though there is a no return policy on clearance cleats, the nice lady at the store allowed me to exchange the cleats for a size down. Very happy with my purchase. Everyone should be confident in purchasing at this shop.”
