Sports Basement Orange County

Compro tenis. Y quiero comprar bike. Nesesito alguien hablé español. Estoy desde Ensenada bc. Comunicándome

From the moment we walked in, we were greeted like we were family! Started with some online returns where Cassie confirmed all the details. I had called yesterday to put an item on hold to try in store and it was quickly retrieved for me. We then shopped around for a while at the various well labeled SALE sections with options galore. We found such great deals to help us gear up for an upcoming backpacking trip. Communication between employees was excellent to help us open a fitting room, where a selection of plush recliners helped us get comfortable. They also kindly checked in on us in the shoe section. Some of our chosen items had stains or fraying which we mentioned at checkout, and they provided a fair discount for these flaws. Next time I will bring my propane tanks to get refilled as part of their sustainable initiatives. We also loved their recycled cardboard signage! I appreciate that they donate a portion of purchases to charity. It was a little warm inside but that’s okay, because it’s a basement. Thank you Cassie for sharing your cat pictures with us before we left, it made our day! Sports basement is hands down the best recreational equipment supplier in the known universe!

I needed help with a brake replacement and called ahead of time. Maximo was extremely knowledgeable, friendly, and helpful. Within a matter of 15 minutes my bike was fixed and I was on my way. I highly recommend any bicyclists to check this store out.

Overall, great store; it is clean and organized. Staff is attentive and friendly. In terms of what I was looking for (hiking gear/shoes specifically) they have more variety shoes/boots in stock compared to other outdoor sports stores, which is something that is appreciated. At a passing glance, they seem to have extensive variety as well in other sports/gear. Compared to shoes that I saw at other stores same day (such as REI) they were selling the exact same hiking boots that I had my eye on for the exact same price, so with the membership discount of 10% (one time membership fee of $25) you do indeed save money if you make a big purchase or if you come here even occasionally, it’ll pay itself off even if you’re a casual outdoors person and get gear here and there as the membership is lifetime. Plus part of your purchases go to charity of your choosing. They’re partnered with literally dozens of charities to choose from, easy to view which one you want to support. I can’t recommend this store enough if you prefer to get your gear in person versus going online. Plus parking is spacious and the location is something I prefer, is separated from the busy main streets.

This was my first time at the store and I was blown away! The variety was outstanding- everything from sea to mountains apparel was there. Surprised to find out they have rentals also. I went in to give one last try finding Speedgoat Hokas for my hiking. I have been searching high and low for a wide 8.5 with vibrant colors , and guess what? Less than 5 minutes explaining what I was looking for, those shoes were on my feet! I ended up signing up with them also. I’ll definitely come back for more gear pretty soon!

excellent experience. I was shopping for running shoes at the Fountain Valley store, and was assisted by an ultra marathon runner employee there. For those who are not in the running world , ultra marathoners are the elite athlete among us who has completed 50- 100 mile run. I am glad to be guided by him. Thank you for an excellent experience.

I love this place. Everyone is super helpful especially John. He let me pick his brain and ask all my dumb questions. I walked in only needing a couple last minute things for my upcoming backpacking trip. He helped me figure out what I needed and I even picked up a new backpack! Love it!

We have used this place since it opened for a variety of seasonal sports from open water swimming to snow sports. This is better than the old sports authority and better than Dick's in my humble opinion, but if you are local then there is no competition. It is higher end, not as overpriced as REI. Just great to have a store like this still around where you can try things on and make sure they fit. Come on in and keep these places in business!
