3600 S Lindbergh Blvd, Sunset Hills“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!”
“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.”
“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 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!”
“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 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.”

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!”
“To make a long story short, Mick has given me, i believe, a really insightful evaluation and key points that I can improve on. I'm extremely analytical and have had a lot of great coaches through my sports life so it's hard to impress me in that regard, Mick is my new go-to guy for the swing.
Kevin and others went so far and above the "taking orders and using the cash register" that I usually see in any retail shop. I've gotten seriously great equipment insights and service without a "sales pitch." I've been in sales my whole life, and was raised by a salesman so I am very kean on this regard.
These guys are legit. I believe I am getting honesty and top notch service from these guys. My new go-to for all things golf and my only recommendation to anyone I encounter from here on out.
Whoever is in charge, manager or owner, please read this and use these guys as an example as you bring in and train new people.
-new customer for life”
“Morgan and Hannah were extremely helpful! Was able to return some items and do a bit of shopping, got a great new pair of running shoes thanks to Morgan's recommendations. If I lived nearby I'd come here all the time!”
“We used classic carpentry when we completely redid our kitchen 3 years ago. Jim was very professional, timely and the craftsmanship is awesome. We absolutely love our new kitchen, the cabinets they built are classic and timeless. Jim took my dreams and ideas and was able to make them come true. I especially love the 2 sided bar they built for us. One side is countertop height in the kitchen and the other side is bar height, they used gorgeous seeded glass in the doors so we could show off our platters and wine glasses. Still, 3 years later, everyone who comes to our house complements our kitchen... Especially the cabinets!”
“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.”
“The team member I dealt with was awesome. He asked if I needed help initially and gave me time to look around. He was knowledgeable about the products at the store and went above and beyond to insure I had a great experience. I visit Rally House every few months for several years, and this was my best experience ever. Thanks!”
“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!”
“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”
“Annie is always upbeat, friendly and very willing to assist. It is always a pleasure to visit Go Figure (or run into Annie at any of the local ice rinks) for our Figure skating needs.”
“I was there to get new shoes. The staff was friendly and helpful. New Balance still has a line of AMERICAN MADE shoes and I was specifically looking for these and left happy!”
“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.”

4153 Jeffco Blvd, Arnold“My great-granddaughter had her birthday party here. All the kids had a super time! A lot of the adults also put on skates. I would highly recommend this place for parties!”
“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”

721 Old Frontenac Square, St. Louis“Love this place !!!! Fastest stringers in town! Always super friendly and helpful! Most places take up to a week to strings rackets however forever tennis strung my rackets within a couple of hours!”
“I love the great deals, rewards and sales. I just bought 2 pair of Puma and 1 pair of Van's for 90 bucks. I usually spend that on 1 pair of Nikes. I really love this store. Rewards are a wonderful bonus and make buying shoes alot cheaper and easier. Thanks for the great deals!!!”
“David was very knowledgeable on the various types of fitness bikes and after deciding on which one suited our needs provided us a very competitive price. We are looking forward to taking delivery of our Matrix upright bike.”
“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.”
“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.”
“I think we all know what Bass Pro shops are all about, it's a very mid-western hunting, sports, outdoor supplier. This review is about this particular store. I do a fair amount of my clothing shopping here, for the aging body type that I have sculpted during my golden years, the selection here seems to be a very good fit for me. Best yet, during recent visits here, I found the staff to be very helpful and they are usually not hard to find. I've also found this to be true in other departments as well. The store is well stocked and clean, even by their standards which I consider very high.”
