A good sporting goods store helps you buy the right gear, not just the dearest. Footwear is the best example: shoes for running, court sports, gym work and walking are built differently, so say what you will use them for and try them on late in the day when feet are a little larger. For equipment such as rackets, balls or team gear, ask staff about fit and sizing before price, since the wrong size spoils the sport. Check the return and exchange policy, and watch for end-of-season sales if you can wait. Regulars shop ahead of the season, bring old shoes to compare wear, and call ahead to check stock before making the trip.
For anyone in Nelson kitting up for a season, Stirling Sports on Trafalgar St is a local place to look.
