| - I think everyone knows Dick's....it a big box sporting goods chain store. They have a lot of general stuff for all kinds of sports. My experiences here have been mixed....
Fishing and hunting? A really decent selection of supplies and the people usually really know their stuff. If I come here, it's usually for lures, shells, or other gear
Shoes? They have a great selection of all sorts of shoes, hiking boots, waders, etc., etc..... However, I've not liked the help in the shoe section...good perhaps for general stuff but, I'll stick to Berkley Running for my running shoes
Cycling and Kayaking? Perhaps fine for the casual user but, the people that I have had "help" me in those areas, really did NOT know their stuff...I think these sports are perhaps too specialized, or something....stick to Rutabaga, Willy St., and Williamson
Athletic clothing? They seem to have a good selection of general workout type clothing. I've bought such clothing here as gifts for others, prices are reasonable.
Golf, Hockey, camping, others? Can't really speak to these other sports though, they do have large sections for each of them....enter at your own risk
Hint: it can be hard to find help in this huge place, especially during busy times, go early in the morning, right when they open....this is often when the most professional and experienced staff are working and you can get the best help. During busy seasons, days, holidays, etc.., it seems you get more of the less experienced, or seasonal help, that really just don't know their stuff
