When I lived in the Lansing area, this was the only place I could find shoes AND get good, solid advice about what to do when I needed something different (e.g. Nike changed the design of their Air Pegasus which I wore religiously and the staff at Playmakers helped me find a comparable, if not better Adidas shoe to replace it). Pros: Knowledgeable staff, abundant selection. Cons: Prices average to higher than average.

I have purchased all of my family's athletic shoes at Playmaker. Granted they are a "little" pricey; however, they conquer that with their fabulous service on the sale. They actually *care* about how your shoes fit to the point that if problems aris, they allow returns after the shoes have been worn. Where would you find that?? I appreciate quality and that is what they demonstrate and represent. I drive over two hours to purchase shoes here and will not purchase anywhere else and I've been doing this for many years. This is not an exageration at all. These are good people who can work with any type of child for footwear and that's important. They actually really do want you to go home with quality merchandise and, they'll spend all the time they can to make that happen. WOW!! And, "SMOOCHES" to the Playmaker staff! Splash83 Pros: quality merchandise, great fit knowledge, work together Cons: absolutely none, absolutely none, absolutely none

Playmakers is a fantastic sporting good store that looks like a large-chain store. It is locally owned and used to be in the Meridian Mall in Okemos, now it is just down the street on Grand River. The new store is HUGE, and is rather breathtaking. When you walk inside, you are immediately drawn to the back of the store where you'll see a huge rock formation which forms the second level, along with tropical plants and a mural of paradise. Whether you're shopping for sporting clothes, or just want to see a fantastically designed store, check out Playmakers. I highly recommend it. PROS: Big-Chain Store Environment, Huge Selection! CONS:

Their selection is unbeatable. They have just as large of a selection as any of the bigger companies like foot locker, however you do not pay the larger prices like you would at such a place. However sometimes they do not always have the newest style of shoes as soon as they come out usually however within a week or two. PROS: Low prices, friendly atmosphere. CONS:

I like to shop here because the associates can always find the correct shoe for me. The know what they are doing. The prices are a little high, but it is worth it.
