βI love this place. Old-time hardware store w friendly knowledgeable staff. Especially for our older homes, if you need it, they have it. I hope residents support this gem, by giving them their business.β
βI got new running shoes this week. The assessment and service were great! I’m so happy with the shoes I purchased. I will definitely be back to the Lincoln-square location.β
βOn 3/19/26 Went in with my daughter. She's very picky usually it takes a few stores to find something she likes but Not this time! This was one and done. Thanks to Nicole & Dan! they worked with her through the whole process. Would definitely recommend this place especially moms with teens! thanks again.β
βWonderful patience and attention to detail throughout the scanning, fitting, and sizing experience. I feel confident in my choice and ready to hit the road. Thanks gang!β
βI've visited this store a couple of times—once to purchase a gift card and more recently to pick up some items for a die-hard Cubs fan friend of mine. The store is clean, welcoming, and well laid out, with just about everything a sports fan could ever want.
My friend and I now live in Florida, so it was special to bring a little piece of Wrigley Field to him. The gentleman who helped me at checkout was friendly, engaging, and genuinely enjoyable to talk with. He made me feel like I was at home and like I had been a longtime customer.
Great customer service is becoming harder and harder to find these days, but you'll definitely experience it at Clark Street Sports. On top of the outstanding service, their merchandise is well-priced. I highly recommend stopping in if you're looking for quality sports memorabilia and a great shopping experience.β
βI wanted to send a quick note to say how happy I was with my purchase today.
I visited the store just after lunch and met Gary, who was wonderful to work with. He really knew his stuff, and it was clear that he is an expert in his field. He had me walk in front of him and was able to identify exactly what kind of shoe I needed just by analyzing my gait.
I could tell he was very serious about his work and truly knew what he was talking about. I went with his suggestion, and I am quite happy with the results. The shoes he picked out appear to be fantastic for running, which is a topic Gary and I discussed at length.
This store clearly knows what they are doing and offers a great selection of running shoes and accessories. I will certainly be coming back again and again.
Best regards,

βNice store and great staff. Especially excellent customer service and help from Jack. Was understandably amazing with service and input his recommendations to make sure you have the right perfect fit for your need. Would highly recommendβ
βRainbo 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"β
βChris is the best in the biz!! Seriously I donβt trust anyone else when it comes to running shoes and gear. He truly cares about making sure you find the right fit and is always so kind and helpful!β
βThe facilities were clean. I seldom come here, and when I do, it's usually for my kid's classmates' birthday parties. Overall, the rooms are large enough to host rambunctious 5-year-olds.β
βThe owner provided excellent service and advice! We bought equipment and a bike from this location. 1 year warranty on the bike. Very impressed with the quality of the items and the customer service. Thank you!β
βThe people who are complaining saying “bad service”, or “poor communication”, I have no idea what they are talking about, honestly think that they are purposely leaving bad reviews. I was just here, its a great shop, with nice and helpful workers. Some cards seem a little pricey but great overall 4.5/5.β
βHands down some of the nicest people youβll 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.β

βI had to stop at City Sports to get me a ball cap. Thats like the number one thing for me to do when I go out of town. I found a real cool Chicago Cubs New Era cap with a red bill. The store owner was really cool and gave me a little discount since a brotha was from out of town. I wish the Chi town drivers were a little more accomodating but hay.lolβ

βMatt was so wonderful with helping my cousin and I find proper hiking shoes! He took the time to explain the pros and cons of each pair and was super helpful in finding what worked for us! Everyone else in the store was super sweet as well checking in if we had questions or needed advice!β
βIt's been a very, very long time since I've been in the store because I don't live close by anymore. But the store and the humility of the staff has never changed. My current experience - as well as past - was the best. The owner and staff were very friendly and courteous - exactly the way they were when I was here years ago. What made this even better is that they had the shoes that I've been looking at online in my size. I walked out happy again. It was worth the long drive to just check out the store again. I wish you guys a lot of continued success. Thank you for the wonderful experience again. I'll make sure to come back in the future.β
βI had a great experience at this Famous Footwear, especially thanks to Angela, the store manager. I originally bought a pair of shoes here and came back a couple weeks later to exchange them because they ended up being too big. The ladies working that day were very kind, printed out my receipt, and tried to help, but we couldnβt find the right fit at the time.
I went to another location after that and had a really poor customer service experience, so I decided to come back here and Iβm so glad I did. Angela provided amazing customer service. She handled the exchange smoothly and took the time to explain that the Nike style I chose runs a bit narrow, which really helped.
With her guidance, I was able to find a pair that fit perfectly and Iβm very happy with my purchase. She was knowledgeable, patient, and genuinely helpful. I will definitely be coming back again. Thank you, Angela, for such excellent service.β
βI am satisfied with all my orders that I have placed in this store and the people who serve are very friendly, I recommend and do not hesitate to place your orders, the size and fabric is recommended.β
βClean store with lots of Nike products, some at great discounted prices compared to retail. There was a police officer guarding the entrance to this location, along with many other stores within the mall.β
βI am a frequent customer with Schwartz and highly recommend their product. I was in an interesting position and they came through by helping me out. Will continue to purchase their items and their customer service was exemplary. Thank you for helping me out. Now to order more mystery boxes!β
βWonderful experience shopping here. The best North Face store in town. The staff are chill' friendly and very helpful. Thank you for excellent customer service. HAPPY HEALTHY NEW YEAR!β
βHad a really good experience. Julia was awesome and super helpful the whole time. She answered all my questions, made everything easy, and was just great to work with overall. Definitely appreciate her helpβcustomer service like that goes a long way!β
βIf youβre a hockey newbie or event pro, this is the place to go!I signed up to take adult beginner hockey lessons with my partner. Liam helped us for almost two hours helping us get everything you could possible need to play the game while also actively helping us look for the most affordable options so we werenβt breaking the bank. He also helped us understand what the purpose and how to put the gear all on.Iβm so glad he was there to be incredibly helpful and now I feel fully prepared to take my first ever hockey class!β
βThis is my go to shop for skydiving gear. They always have better stock than most, fast order fulfillment and shipping, and every employee I have interacted with has been professional, personable and kind. I'm grateful to have them as a resource. Thank you to all the folks at Paragear and keep up the awesome work!!!
Blue Skies!β
βIf ur trying to take a scuba class, this is the shop to go & ask for Robert. Heβs the best instructor Iβve met. Not one of the best, just the best. Extremely passionate about teaching & very detail oriented and very patient. Also knows a lot about both skills and gear choices.β
