Yelp.com Review - by Jon L.

2.0 of 5 stars. Big 5 Sporting Goods as a chain, sells very low quality shoes. Need proof? Anytime you see a pair of shoes on sale in their ads, google it. Chances are, you won't find that pair of shoe online. If you...

3.0 of 5 stars. This sporting store has a good selection of shoes. They always have some kind of a sale, so scrounge the Mercury News on Saturdays. The footwear is always durable and lasts over a year - I've bought...

Yelp.com Review - by Jen Y.

2.0 of 5 stars. I only come here because my dad loves a good sale. I don't know why he bothers coming, because it's obvious that the salespeople laugh at him behind his back. This place is not for serious fitness...

Yelp.com Review - by Mary R.

2.0 of 5 stars. I figured after visiting the grandma's closet claustrophobic clutterfest that is Big 5 in Menlo, this one would certainly be better. It is definitely more spacious, but I don't think they have any...

2.0 of 5 stars. The service... which service??? Couldn't find any salesperson who was willing to help the customer. All I got was a dirty look from a sales person when I tried on some shoes... Dang~ I am just buying...

Yelp.com Review - by Rita V.

1.0 of 5 stars. I came here expecting to find some bikes. I was really surprised and disapointed that Big 5 does not sell bikes at all! I thought Big 5 would have bikes, since they are a 'Sporting Goods'...

Yelp.com Review - by Juan B.

1.0 of 5 stars. The service here is horrible. Every time I come in to look for something I saw in the newspaper that was on sale or whatever, the people who work here have no idea what the fuck I'm talking about....

Yelp.com Review - by Lily L.

2.0 of 5 stars. I must agree. I was not offered any help while walking aimlessly around the store (stores not very big, I think the cashier could see i needed help) until I finally asked them where the knee brace...

Yelp.com Review - by Dave K.

2.0 of 5 stars. Ah how the mighty have fallen. Big 5 used to be the place to go like a decade ago, now it's a random mix of sporting goods and the racks of clothing are random and ugly like it can barely stay...

Nice sports mart by Shivakumar J. at InsiderPages

I have been visiting this place for the last 10 years. They sell stuff from sleeping bags to exercise equipment. You could get very good deals during the frequent sales they put up. The quality of things you...

Used to be better by priya v. at InsiderPages

This Big 5 location used to have more stuff a few years ago. Now, everything they have on sale is old and some of the shoes are actually torn and missing laces etc. I did buy some exercise equipment on sale...

Yelp.com Review - by Alex L.

3.0 of 5 stars. Not a bad spot. Good sales on no-name athletic shoes if you need a pair to ruin quickly and don't wanna drop ducketts on a pair of nikes. The *help* isn't much help, but hey it's better than Frys....

Limited selection but items are pricey even when on sale by Lei P. at InsiderPages

Big 5 is smaller than Sportmart and not surprisingly it has a limited selection of sporting items. The treadmills on display look old and decrepit, and there are only 2-3 models you can choose from. They often...
