“Everything you’d hope for in a running shop. Great customer service, runner-centered foot scanning tech, prompt real-time responses from their Chicagoland warehouse. Only slight issue is parking. Other than that I’m a repeat happy customer :)”
“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!!”
“When I wanna buy some vans I always google
Image the shoes I’m gonna buy so I can purposely order from a a local shop. Instead of ordering directly from vans. Smooth transaction and fast shipping.”
“Ken is the real deal and extremely dedicated to his clients. Although I could have easily shopped locally over 1,000 miles away, I chose to give Ken my business because he earned it, he was the first to respond to my inquiry and responsive to any emails or messages I sent him. Thank you Ken, keep up the great work!”
“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.”
“What a wonderful shopping experience. My 8 year old son wanted a particular Chicago Bears jersey, and I could find it absolutely nowhere aside from Clark Street Sports. Great job all!!!”
“I love all of my Obvious Shirts! So comfortable, they keep their shape after many washings, and great designs! I had to have this one to commemorate Ryno.
I walked in the store this afternoon, and they were out of my size (I had a hunch they would be), but the guy working was just putting more on the rack, and found the right size! ?❤️”
“I cannot give this store enough credit. This is my “home” Burton store and Milo is my “home” board expert that I have relied on for 5 years since my first board purchase! Milo is a not only an expert but a snowboarder herself so I always know I can count on her tacit knowledge as well as her learned expertise in snowboarding as well as Burton products. My son is 9 yo and we have both been coming to Milo and Burton Chicago store for products, advice, as well as community. Basically this store has been a representation and key touchpoint for my perception of the Burton brand and Milo as its de facto persona! I love that she is highly professional, authentic, no frill. The snowboarding world can feel male driven and bro-ish and I love that the empowered female boarders like Milo and Toya at this store are standing up their rightful half of the culture and vibe. To me they are 100%! When I’m at 12,000 ft shredding that double diamond black extreme - feels good to know my Burton Chicago has my back.”
“I wish i could I give more than 5 stars. This company comes highly recommended. Tom goes above and beyond the call of duty. Amazing customer service and craftsmanship. My husband and owe Chi-Town Custom Cornhole "Tom" a tremendous amount of gratitude for making our 5yr Wedding Anniversary special. Thanks Sooooo Much!!”
“I had an amazing experience at Rapha Chicago! Mallory was incredibly helpful—she was so informative and passionate about what she does. She took the time to answer all my questions and made sure I found exactly what I was looking for. Her knowledge and enthusiasm made the entire experience enjoyable, and I’ll definitely be making all my future purchases with her. If you’re looking for top-notch service, ask for Mallory! Highly recommend!”

“Came here based Google reviews. My son needed cleats, shin guards and socks. Easy street parking.We went around 12:30pm but it was closed despite the hours saying they were open at noon on Sunday. There were 2 other customers waiting outside and they let us know that someone was on the way to open the store and should be there in 10 minutes. We were relieved so to wait out the time, my son & I went next door and ordered smoothies. When the store opened, we walked in and noticed a great selection of cleats. The sales associate was helpful finding a pair of cleats for my son, but unfortunately they didn’t have his size. We did find shin guards and socks so the trip was worth it. I’ll be back when my son needs more gear.”
“If you play or want to learn tennis, paddle or squash this is the only place in Chicago to purchase top of the line racquets, shoes and apparel at very reasonable prices. Plus you get the knowledge from the owner and staff, who are all friendly. Best place hands down. They have a second location on Arlington Heights Rd..”
“Have worked with this company for the last couple years to have personalized jackets made for our employees. The Hildebrand team is great to work with, and our staff love the jackets! We will continue to order from Hildebrand Sporting Goods every year!”
“As a big fan and player of hockey, I love visiting smaller local shops. Gunzo's is always a must when I'm in the Chicago area. Great atmosphere and a true passion for the game!”
“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.”
“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”
“Steven is very knowledgeable about the trading cards and provides great customer service. I've been buying supplies and cards from him for years and was never disappointed. Highly recommend.”
“I am in my 60s and I stopped in to find good shoes to get me through a two week vacation through Japan where we were using our feet and public transportation to get around. I walked into the store for the first time, and was greeted by a friendly woman (sorry I don't remember your name!) who was extremely helpful without being sales-y. With very little fuss, she got me into a pair of Topos, which I'd never heard of. They were comfortable and cute. I am happy to say I had the trip of my life, and the shoes carried me through. I would recommend the store to anyone, and I found the prices to be fairly in line with what you get elsewhere.”
“Chris is the best in the biz!! Seriously I don’t 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!”
“It's really nice how the Cubs have transformed the Wrigley Field area in some parts. This being on3 or them. Lots of Cubs merchandise and memorabilia. Employees were super nice and knowledgeable. I asked about a certain design, and the manager told me when and how long it'd take to get it. They even gave me 15% off by signing up on their website.”
“First time I went here it was great service got a few bikes repaired there. I was wondering if you guys can install a back rear tire for an electric scooter? Mostly putting the rim on the rubber part if it’s possible. I’ll add a picture. If possible plz feel free to reply ?.”
“Highly recommend this Play it again sports for all your athletic and fitness equipment needs, their battling cages in the back, and custom apparel made! I have taken my kids in for volleyball knee pads, ice skates, soccer cleats, shin guards, etc, and weights for myself. The staff is always friendly and eager to help you find what you are looking for.
As a business owner, I use their battling cage space in the back for mom and me classes. They are so welcoming and accommodating to me and our families.
Lastly, just used them to make custom hoodies for our members and they did a great job! They were reasonably priced, great quality, and were available quickly. This business, owner, and staff are great!”
“I 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.lol”
“Impressive, friendly service, Pat was great! I Love Eddie Bauer's jeans, shirts, and jackets glad to be a welcome-back customer. It has been too long without my favorite jeans, and shirts ???”

“We loved our experience! We went for a bulls game! It was great! Awesome seats loved that we ordered food from our phones and it was brought right to us quickly. The staff were very friendly and the venue was clean.”
