“Lots to choose from and awesome prices. Got 2 Football cleats, 1 pair of soccer cleats, socks with chin guards and a pair of women’s shoes for $184. Very pleased with selection and pricing”
“I have spent years trying to find a comfortable shoe/insole, etc and even had a podiatrist make custom insoles. They hurt my feet- even when I was in bed my feet ached. He kept putting me in bigger shoes so the insole wouldn't bend. Eventually i felt I was wearing clown shoes. I then tried many different brands of shoe and insoles. I could barely walk when I went into your store. Ray Easterling at the Des Pere Mo store put me in shoes that nurtured my foot, comfortable, supportive and a size I wasn't swimming in. I went back because I felt they were wearing out and he fit me again. I then went hiking on a 3 mile "moderate" trail with a few 10% +grades and lots of roots and rocks. My footing was stable and I never had to stop to get off my feet. With shoes before fleet feet I would have been in pain trying to finish the trail. In short, I feel I can walk again and the shoes fit!”
“First time visiting this location in STL. I was needing a new pair of trailrunners for an up coming vacation where we will be doing some light hiking for several days in a row. I also need a good support shoe for walking my dogs daily. Joe was fantastic and very helpful in my quest for finding the perfect shoe. The foot scan that he shared with me was very enlightening. Found out I was definitely wearing the wrong style and size shoe for probably quite some time now. I have a bunion on one foot and a couple of unique foot issues, but Joe listened to my concerns and found the perfect shoe and insert for my best personalized fit. Hoping that these lightweight trailrunners fit the bill and will break in over the next few weeks. I will definitely come back for more socks and even some of their clothes in the future. Wish I would tried this store a long time ago. I highly recommend their knowledgeable services.”
“The customer service and relationship with the team here is amazing. I brought my family here from out of town and they have never experienced this great of service from a running store before. I would recommend Big River to ANY and ALL looking for a pair of shoes!”
“Made an online purchase for a Nautilus piece I've been seeking for some time. I received the items as advertised and was in excellent working condition. Shipping was very fast too, received my item in less than 10 days. Very happy with my purchase and will be doing business with them again.”
“This review is long overdue... I've been going to Racketman for over 15 yrs due to my daughter being heavily involved in tennis. So we have been in there quite frequently over the years and I have never once left disappointed. Jim (the owner) is a great guy and always willing to help with advice on anything and everything tennis related. And the rest of the staff are always friendly and helpful as well. It's just a really great place with great inventory and great people. There are very few businesses anymore that truly earn the loyalty of their customers on an ongoing basis... Racketman does.”
“I went on a search for chicks and drove all over the place. I originally went to Fenton to a different farm store because they had a very specific chicken breed I was looking for (Lavender Orpingtons.) I ended up at this store instead. The girl working in the chick station was so calm even though she was getting overwhelmed by people wanting chicks. I wish I had gotten her name. She was so busy boxing chicks and tending to them. Very impressive job and one of the best places to get chicks because it was very well organized and the presentation of the area was really nice! And really, this is a super nice location! It’s huge and and has so much to look at it. I don't live anywhere near here, but did love this store! Great experience! And our chicks are doing awesome! They are now about 16 weeks old.”
“I have been using St. Louis Custom Gear for over 10 years, and I recommend them to everyone. I love their work and appreciate their professionalism and dedication to customer service!”
“Had an amazing experience with gateway disc sports! Contacted customer care and they walked me through everything I needed help with and went above and beyond to take care of me. Huge shoutout to Jenn on what she does for the company, can’t say I’ve had too much luck getting customer care like she offered! 10/10 will be a return customer!”
“I have purchased my skates, and many accessories for ice skating from the store. We loved the store and Annie so much that when my husband needed skates we came back. She was able to get him fitted for perfect fitting hockey skates.Annie is so attentive and helpful to everyone that walks in the door. Saint Louis is blessed to have Go Figure Skates.”

606 North and South Rd, University City“The best place to go for runners or walkers! Mike is so knowledgeable and patient. He first studied my old pair of running shoes and listened to what I liked, didn't like, and needed in a pair of shoes. He spent a lot of time helping me try out models and his first suggestion is the most comfortable pair of running shoes that I absolutely love- I feel like I can go in them forever! Thanks Big River!”
“Received excellent news information about the purchase of a treadmill. I did not feel pressured to buy and options were provided in order to get just the right one. I would highly recommend Johnson Exercise Equipment for personal equipment. Dave was the best!”
“Every experience I have had here is great! Shopping local has paid for itself over and over again when it comes to Big River Running Company! Staff is lovely, exchanges are easy, if they don’t have it-they will find it or order it for you! Love when my shoes wear out and I get to visit the lovely folks at Big River Running Company :)”
“Great local gun store, good guy. This was my first time buying a gun, the owner, Jim was very helpful with narrowing down my picks, and explaining various products. I stayed below budget and was in and out more than satisfied, would recommend.”
“My favorite golf shop in St Louis hands down. I was lucky enough to get an impromptu lesson with Mick. He was able to quickly redirect flaws in my golf swing, giving me drills to stay on a path of improvement.”
“I cannot say enough good things about OMG and Coach Yama! Our daughter has taken about a dozen private lessons with him and her skills have exponentially improved. Coach Yama is so patient and really makes sure the players have correct form and technique. It’s more than a typical soccer practice - he covers strength, speed, agility, precision and performance. Our daughter wasn’t able to play competitively for several months due to medical reasons so we originally planned on taking lessons as an outlet for her love of the game but we’ve continued with the lessons even now that she’s able to play competitively again because we’ve seen so much improvement and she loves it!”
“The staff was very knowledgeable about hike shoes and backpacks. We found so good shoes bit struck out on finding a backpack that fot just right. The salespeople were very nice and patient.”
“It's a great little sportsman store. They got a wide selection everything from fishing equipment to guns to clothing. I think they even have some rafts and stuff like that. Prices seem pretty fair and the staff is pretty knowledgeable and friendly. I probably buy something from them once or twice a year and have been for years. Overall it's a good store.”
“The staff/owners know their game. I stopped in to chat and I've played coached and referred lax since 1972. They listened to my old stories of lax from the past, all the old greats I played with and against. If I hadn't moved to st James I would have played in a pick up game for sure Always worth the stop”
“I’m strictly an online shopper and purchasing with FC is simple, the store is well stocked and they have excellent customer service. They also have one of the best looking catalogs for fly fishing and tying anywhere.”
“They sell top notch athelic equipment look at their website. Also prodective equipment to keep children safe in gym's, and the play grounds. Besides volleyball nets and pickle ball nets, are made there at the company.”
“This shop is first class for NFA items and transfers. The owner helped me through the process, and answered all my dumb questions without being condescending. Cool guy, cool shop, will be purchasing from there from now on.”
“Ross Rubright is the store manager at this location and he is excellent. Friendly, confident, and knows shoes. He is accommodating of special needs and always willing to take in knowledge of different perspectives, views, and things outside of the shoe realm. I highly recommend!Matthew S. Schlafly”

“Rally House is a great place to find items from your favorite sports teams.Beyond the expected shirts and hats, they have so many other items, including:- onesies for newborns & babies- coasters- playing cards- stickers- keychains- shot glasses- mugs- insulated cups- much moreWe were also blessed that Rally House Brentwood Pointe recently hosted an autograph session with St. Louis CITY Soccer Club (SC) defenders Lucas Bartlett and Tim Parker and the Y98 game announcer Joey Zanaboni.Valerie and her team did a great job planning the effort, having special line tickets ready to pickup early that morning, and they provided valuable help on the phone the days before, so we could plan on being early in line. For the event, they kept the excited crowd calm and patient, even though it wound thought the entire store and out the door and east 5-6 neighboring businesses.This is a great location with a great staff. Thanks!”

721 Old Frontenac Square, St. Louis“Amazing staff, fastest turn around time on racket restringing & I love the selections on shoes & apparel. They always seem to have better & cheaper stuff than your typical sporting goods! Love Forever Tennis!”
“Went here looking for a specific item and Izze went above and beyond to make sure that we left with what we were looking for. Thanks Izze for being customer service orientated and knowledgeable of products, it's gratefully appreciated.”
“This was my first time in a Rally House. If you dont like sports, especially your local teams, then this place isn't for you.
I appreciate their local focus and their wide variety of stock. Yes, 80% of it is clothing and jerseys, but they have everything from St. Louis Blues hockey pucks to St. Louis Cardinals valve caps.
I didn't interact with the staff, but they sounded friendly in their interactions with others.
Give it a shot if you are looking for sports swag.”
“I get the pleasure of delivering my microgreens here every week to the manager Angie. She is so nice and the staff is always very welcoming, happy, it's a joy to shop. I love the selection of clothes and the store is beautifully curated it's always a pleasure to walk in. Thanks.”
