“I purchased a pair of ski boots from here before heading back out to Colorado. I've never felt so comfortable and confident in a pair of boots. My entire skill set changed in a properly fitted pair of boots. Thank you so much to Jakob for taking the time (over an hour!) to help me find and feel comfortable in a pair of boots. He went above and beyond by trying out different heel risers and inserts so they felt comfortable.I can't say enough great things about this business, would absolutely recommend!Thank you!!”
“I've been going to Scott and Lee for years they have all my lay outs how I like my bowling balls drilled saved in their system. They definitely have all the bowling knowledge that you need to know about any bowling ball that would best fit your game. I have rolled two 300 games in the past 2 years with the bowling balls that they have drilled. They're simply the best in my opinion that I trust with all my bowling balls.”
“Loved my experience here with Julie and definitely glad I chose to purchase shoes here instead of by going based on online reviews for different shoes. It turned out the shoes I had my eye on felt nothing like how I imagined. The custom fitting is so important and I wish I’d done this sooner! Julie found me a perfect pair of Brooks. Great selection and service!”
“Very pleased with the customer service and for accommodating my request for a rush order. The design and quality of work was excellent. Will definitely be using you for our future needs for awards, trophies, etc.”
“Great place! Knowledgeable staff-I highly recommend Alan. He’s very personable and helped pick out a shoe that immediately started relieving the pain I was in.”
“I was referred here by my sister in law after purchasing running shoes for her daughter, a collegiate athlete. I decided to give it a try since I am starting to take walking/jogging more seriously and would like to continue doing this long term. I have never been an athlete myself so I really didn't know the first thing about purchasing proper shoes. I have to say that Afana guided me every step of the way. I had no real idea of what I wanted but he was able to assess my needs quite accurately. I went home actually excited to get to the track with my new shoes. I walked my first mile and I can say that I have no regrets about the shoes I purchased. Thank you for all your help Afana! My feet felt great after my walk.”
“Nice selection of shoes some of the big box stores sell out of right away. Talked to the staff over the phone and they were helpful and honest. I'll definitely be giving repeat business.”

“Went in for some grips. They didn’t have the exact one I needed. So the gentleman gave me a comparable one for free to try out. That was really nice to do and very much appreciated. I will be back this week to pick up the other 7 grips. Thanks again.”
“Everything worked perfectly and exactly as we hoped. The crew arrived exactly when they told us they would; they were courteous and professional. The set up was quick and efficient as was taking the bleachers down. The price was reasonable. We will definitely work with them again.”
“Brandon was great helping my son figure out what he needed to get started in airsoft. We purchased a gun, mask and vest and the prices were good. He also went over how to load and work the gun. Thanks so much!”
“Stopped in today to get new sneakers, and had a great experience.
It’s been a year since my last purchase at Peak. I have had 3 iterations of the same shoes that I loved. I expected to just update to the latest version of the same shoes. Megan brought a pair of shoes out and the newest version was not comfortable.
I explained what I didn’t like about the newest sneaker. Megan found me two great alternatives. She then grabbed a laptop and walked me through all the color options to ensure I was happy with my purchase.
I will back for more shoes and gear in the future.”
“I recently (May 9th) purchased a pair of workout shoes from Running Excel and found the experience genuinely refreshing. Beverly, the owner, was both warm and patient as she guided me through her extensive selection. She meticulously showed me at least 12 pairs of shoes and even took the time to measure my feet and observe my walking style, ensuring the pair I selected had the right type of arch support.
The personalized service truly stood out. Beverly’s attention to detail made the entire process feel tailored to my needs, and I appreciated how her expertise helped me confidently make a final selection. While my experience was excellent overall, the review reflects a 4-star rating simply because there’s always room for a little extra refinement—perhaps a few more style options or a slightly faster process might make the visit even more exceptional.
I’m a customer for life at Running Excel; when it comes to workout shoes, this is my go-to store. The friendly, detail-oriented service really set the bar, and I look forward to my next visit.”
“Great service awesome shirts/sweatshirts any design I give them they can copy or create and put on anything for a great price. Any color clothing and any color print whatever you want they will figure out a way to do it. Will definitely continue using them and referring as much as possible”
“When I was a kid I sometimes got dropped off at my aunt’s house in LaGrange, and my little cousin and I would skateboard here bright-eyed and bushy-tailed, dying to get a glimpse at some Yu-Gi-Oh! cards in the display case or buy a few packs or cards of our own. Yes Steven has that very dry sense of humor and droll attitude that some people might not like, but that’s PART of Steven’s experience! He’s never mean. We LOVED going and talking to him, sometimes he would get a little aggravated with us and we would turn to each other and giggle, and he would talk to us about the card game and help us understand things. If I could go back in time and relive those core memories I would without a second guess, times were much simpler when we skateboarded down the street to Steven’s. He also taught us a lot of invaluable lessons! One I still use to this day! (Read the fine print on eBay listings, they’ll send you an empty box if they can!)”
“Amazing customer service! I called them about shipping some merchandise and KRISTIE (hopefully I spelled that right) was amazing. She went out of her to accommodate me much more than was required. THANK YOU SO MUCH! The White Sox are lucky to have employees like you on staff.”
“Best sporting goods store I've ever been in. Outstanding selection, reasonable prices, excellent service. Great assistance from a very knowledgeable staff person. Bought my grandson a pair of soccer shoes. Couldn't be happier with the selection. Will always come here first. Highly recommended.”

“Staff were friendly & helpful. This location carried a variety of choices for apparel for teenaged sons. Didn't have particular shoe at the store & staff helped me order online.”
“Steve at Water Trends on 159th has been a saving grace for us. He was able to get us a replacement part for our pool and a new liner that we were not able to get for the last 16 months. Hats off to Steve! (hopefully the installer keeps his date with us)”
“Rally House at the Orland Square Mall was a fantastic one-stop shop for all of my Chicago souvenirs! The store is huge, and they have a large variety and selection of merchandise for Chicago, all Chicago sports teams, and a ton of Illinois colleges and universities. I gave them 4 stars because it was a little pricey (but I'm okay with that since everything is in one place!) and they had merchandise from every Big Ten school...except for Penn State! Other than that, it's a must-visit store!”
“Found some good, comfortable, nice pants for a low price. The lady who was helping me is so very helpful. They sell clothes and jewelry. Definitely will be going back to this store tomorrow. They're located inside, right next to the nail salon.”

“I recently purchased a new pair of running shoes from Foot Locker, and I couldn't be happier with my experience. The website was easy to navigate, and the checkout process was simple and efficient. I also appreciated the wide selection of shoes available on their website, including many different brands and styles.My order arrived quickly and was exactly what I was looking for. The shoes were high-quality and comfortable, and I could tell that they were made to last. I've been wearing them for a few weeks now, and they still look and feel great.What really impressed me, though, was the customer service. When I had a question about my order, I was able to quickly connect with a friendly and knowledgeable representative who was able to help me right away. It's clear that Foot Locker values their customers and goes out of their way to make sure they have a great shopping experience.Overall, I would highly recommend Foot Locker to anyone looking for high-quality shoes and great customer service. I'm already planning on making another purchase from them in the near future!”
“The staff is absolutely wonderful. This location may be small but it makes up with the customer service. And 9 times out of 10 the have exactly what I'm looking for.”
“I've been here before shopping for baseball equipment. Very good prices. I checked out the weights and Olympic barbell. I'll be back for plates and dumbbells.”
