“Boards 'N More is a very beautiful store. As someone who is into skateboarding I highly enjoy the selection of equipment that they have available. They have products from high end decks, trucks, bearings and wheels; while having a good selection of more affordable price options. If you are into longboarding I would also highly recommend this store because the owner has a wide variety of (pre-built) completes, wheels, bearings, and a small but high quality selection of equipment as well like slide gloves and safety gear.
With those basics aside it's a very warm welcoming store. It is run by a family and has that touch to it being a family-owned business in a way. It's not like Mainland or Zumiez where the atmosphere is rather deadening and dull. The store also has tons of clothing for men and women and wake surfing boards I believe too, but do not quote me on that.
I say all that to say that there are so many options in this store that objectively there is a high selection of clothing here for men and women. This business replaces having to go to Zumiez or Mainland. Being one of (I believe) two skate shops in the East Bay Area this one is a better option than the other in Walnut Creek.
The customer service (again) is great! The time they take out to help you with clothes or even putting together a board or changing out your parts is also great. You may even test out your build after paying for the parts and come right back in and make adjustments without feeling awkward or uncomfortable coming in and out of the store and they are knowledgeable.
I know this shop is located further into the East Bay Area but it's truly worth it. Taking hour bus rides from where I had been living to get to here was worth it. There's a gas station right next to the location which is nice for filling up your car and/or testing your build near the open alley on the side and/or right in front of the store.
The more I go in depth on the review of Boards 'N More the more I appreciate what it has to offer in the future for myself and what it has provided for me in the past as someone who longboards at a rather extreme level. I will always support local business but specifically I will always support this local shop for my needs because it's worth every penny!
Go if you are able to make time because I highly recommend a trip here!”
“Went to this store to pickup some sneakers for my children, lots of choices, big store. I would have given 5 starts but as large as this place is the air conditioner DEFINITELY should have been on. The young lady working was doing multiple jobs at once and you could see she was overwhelmed with little help. She definitely doesn't deserve to work in those ridiculously hot conditions nor does anyone else. I was in the store approximately 25 minutes and was dripping sweat. My kids were complaining too.”
“Every time I need a present for my husband and can't figure out something, I go to Sports Fever. They have a good selection of local teams plus other teams -- including the Padres (who are my husband's favorite baseball team). I have gotten 49ers jerseys there and recently bought a great long sleeved 49ers shirt and travel mug. I can always find something great and sometimes unusual (obviously all sports related). They are always on my Christmas list as a store to visit!”
“My experiences at Sportsman's have been varied... The only reason I'm giving this a 5 star is because a person named Joe helped me today and he was awesome. (trap shotgun purchase) Friendly, respectful and clearly enjoys his job. What a pleasure. So ask for Joe or at least ask whoever is helping you to be like Joe.”
“I would have never heard of Fleet Feet if it wasn't for my podiatrist suggesting them to me. I paid a visit to Fleet Feet in Brentwood and was greeted by Regan. She asked what type of shoe I was looking for. I told her what I wanted and in what color. She brought out several pairs of shoes based on my scan and wants. She was super knowledgeable, polite, and professional. She wouldn't let me do anything. She told me to put my foot up on the footrest and she'd do the rest. She removed my custom orthotics from my shoes and put them in every pair of shoes I tried on. It felt like the old school days of shoe shopping. She was patient with me and I never once felt rushed. Regan, you're a superstar and you went above and beyond and I want you to know it's appreciated.
I also had an experience at Fleet Feet with Alex. He's a superstar as well. He and Regan are top-notch.
I met the owner earlier today. I wanted to tell him in person how much I appreciated Regan and Alex. First impressions are everything and Regan gave the best first impression a business could hope for.
Fleet Feet in Brentwood gained a loyal customer thanks to Regan and Alex. I highly recommend Fleet Feet if you're looking for a pair of shoes for work. You won't be disappointed...especially if you get assisted by Regan or Alex.”
