“They talked me out of overspending on bearings for my 11-year-old beginner son and sold me bearings for $15!
When a company puts customers over profit that's a company you can trust and their unbeatable prices reiterate that they put you first, truly giving back to the community. That loyalty to the community earns my respect and loyalty.
If I was still in my skateboarding years I would rather rock a McGill's deck than any other for that.
Now I know the reason McGill's is 5 stars isn't just because a legend owns the shop, it's because the customer service is legendary. I'll be driving to Encinitas from Carlsbad for all our skateboarding gear for all my kids.”
“I’ll never go anywhere else!
I moved down here two years ago and hadn’t found a bike shop. Asked a friend for a recommendation and he told me this was the place.
I went in there yesterday, nice gentlemen greets me and asks me what’s up. I tell him I haven’t had my bike touched in two years, don’t know much about bikes beyond barely knowing how to ride one, been riding a lot and am doing a triathlon in 2 weeks, just want a tune up. He puts it up and is taking a look while talking to me.
Ultimately he tells me “your bike is in great shape, I wouldn’t touch it. Buy some of this, after your race clean up the chain etc (walks me thru all the steps) but that’s all you need, you’re ready to crush.” I thanked him profusely, bought the spray cleaner and left.
When you tell someone you don’t know anything and are ready to pay him money and he tells you not to, you know you’re in great hands. Customer for life!”
“I went in to buy a new driver. After I demoed a few. The salesman wanted to see my current driver. After a few swings and an adjustment, I was back to hitting my old driver better than the ones I demoed. Save me 500 bucks.”
“I walked into the New Balance store expecting to be sold a pair of shoes, but instead I was greeted with a Foot Revelation. For about an hour, Jasmine helped answer all of my questions and point me in the right direction for healthy, well-fitting shoes.
I had suspected that the shoes I was wearing did not fit, and Jasmine walked me through exactly why that was the case and how to know for next time.
I had never seen a foot scanner at any shoe retailer before, but I am so glad that I walked into one that not only had the technology to provide such helpful information, but also had such wonderful staff to help explain that information.
I am not exaggerating when I say that my understanding of foot health has been radically changed (and more importantly, improved).”
“This place is great. I sold my paddle board through them. They got me what I was asking. If you've got a decent paddle board without dings to sell I would ask them first. Thank you Greg and Ed for all that you do. Awesome store. Dan Cobb”

1590 Leucadia Blvd, Encinitas“Went in looking for some good hiking shoes with no prior knowledge of good brands or styles. Jim offered to help and was very knowledgeable and had great recommendations to get me the right shoes. You could tell he genuinely cared and throughly answered all my questions. Can’t wait to get started on all my adventures thanks to Jim!”
“Friendly staff, great selection, awesome prices. North County's go-to for all things swimming & water polo! They have all the top brands including my favorites, JOLYN!”
“This is a very cool store with a gorgeous ocean view. The clothes are very high quality. The customer service is excellent! Shout out to Logan for helping me find just what I wanted.”
“FIVE STARS! The Best Guest Experience. Shout out to Alison and her team. So helpful, kind, knowledge, can't say enough. When you have a choice between competition, Lulu....Athleta is better choice. Please read Google reviews. My favorite store ?”
“This store is very near and dear to me. I used to take my grandma shopping for shoes here, so I will wait to look at shoes until I am in the area! I love feeling her presence around me. Today she helped me pick out my first pair of Birkenstocks. It only took me since the 1970s to finally cave and get a pair! Very happy. Helpful staff. A+ for shoes and nostalgia.”

625 S Coast Hwy 101, Encinitas“I must say the sales staff was fantastic they took their time even though the store was very busy. I wish I knew the names of the two women that assisted me because they were fantastic”
“My boyfriend and I came to this store on a whim to buy a new pickleball paddle and Sunny was amazing! She was so well informed and they offer a demo service so you can try the paddle before you buy. We will definitely be coming back to this store in the future!!”
“Bought some new football shoes and was exceptionally well cared for by the staff! He took his time, had the patience of an angel and helped me find the perfect shoe! 10/10 would recommend!”
“Finally had a chance to visit the Gallery this past Tuesday 10/8/24. For me, living in the Midwest, this has always been a wish list thing. Especially now that the inside is opened, not just window shopping.
I was a bit overwhelmed initially, I think from my excitement and because there was just so much to look at inside. Not everything inside is for sale, but still some great eye candy. The process to purchase is simple - items are numbered and you select what you want, they bring it out. It is also possible to try on apparel.
My primary reason for visiting was to get my Timeless+ regripped, restickered, and a new HC. Nick met me at the front of the gallery and was absolutely fantastic to work with from the get go. Provided multiple options and discussed them with me. Nick was super patient and helpful with me, and updated my Timeless+. Highly knowledgeable and professional to work with Nick. He helped me pick out a few other miscellaneous items as well. I wish we could have gotten more into a conversation about the putter itself, but time was thin (I was there later in afternoon) and others were waiting to get in and I didn’t want to be “that guy” and violate the store etiquette (they ask visits be limited to about 30 min in most cases).
Overall, my experience was absolutely fantastic. A wish come true so to speak. Looking forward to the time the stars align and I can return, hopefully to work with Nick again as well.”
“This is a fabulous resource with dedicated, individualized assistance and great solutions. The shoe selection is beautiful and varied. I’m very glad that I found Foot Solutions.”
