Sport store in Wellington

“These guys know their stuff! Really helpful and on the ball to help wherever they can. A bit more expensive than their competition (sometimes) but I'm more than happy to pay the difference due to their excellent service. They also have a great returns policy. Also the more you buy the greater discount you get, so consider that when comparing retailers. Went there to buy some football boots this time and very happy with the purchase after a lot of patience on their behalf trying on many different options. Please support our local, high quality traders like Shoe Clinic! Definitely recommend.”

“I had the pleasure of shopping at SOLECT today with my client, and I couldn’t be more impressed with the entire store experience. From the moment we walked in the staff greeted us warmly and made us feel right at home. They really took the time to understand my client’s style needs and helped us find some awesome options. Being a personal stylist I really value helpful staff, Shiloh and her team were so knowledgeable and offered insightful recommendations without being pushy. My client left feeling confident and excited about his new footwear, and I couldn't have been happier with the overall experience. I’ll definitely be bringing more clients back here in the future. Highly recommend!”

“Exceptionally awesome staff had an amazing time there, I went to buy some cricket stuff 10 minutes prior to closing time. The lady at the store was so kind and responsive , I thought she might ask me to hurry up but she didn't bother me at all. I was really touched with her gesture. Thanks for extending your closing time upto 20 minutes. You guys are amazing.”

“An absolutely amazing store to do business with. There products are high quality at awesome prices. I brought 2 pairs of DVS shoes, they didnt fit my big goofy feet, the Bro Olly at Empire Skate was the most kind and helpful person at talking me through a super easy exchange process so i could return the shoes in exchange for a larger size. Amazing communication thankyou Olly and such a pleasure to deal with. Empire Skate most definitely has me as a satisfied and happy customer for life, i will be making many more purchases from your store. Appreciate you all. A huge big shoot out to the bro Olly, i can not thankyou you enough. Many thanks, Josh”

“I've gone into this store a bunch over the year and a half that I've jumped back into cycling (daily commuter, on a fixed gear/single-speed). These guys really know what they're doing, charge decent prices, are very polite, and are very quick. I think the closest thing I'd have to a criticism is that they don't appear to have as much fixed/track bike parts and knowledge, but honestly not every shop can do everything. I cannot remember his name, but the American mechanic is really onto it.”

“Had a great experience with Roger and one of his good folks. Now have a new, awesome 5/4 hooded O'Neill wetsuit for the very chilly waters off the Oregon coast. And got to know the Lyall Bay scene a bit better. The swell was good the prior day, and I'm stoked to get out some point in the future. When I do I will definitely stop by and check out Roger and the lads at Real Surf.”

“Popped in recently to look for some new shoes, Jonty was awesome - super friendly, knew a lot about what I was looking for, and helped me find exactly what I wanted. Definitely will be back soon!”

“Fantastic e-bike rental shop. Hugely knowledgeable staff and excellent quality rental bikes”

“Have had many years of top service from Elliot and Ginger - including custom part manufacture(!!) and friendly warranty support. They also get behind local events with spot prizes and promotion. Support local.”

“Shout out to these guys. They fixed an annoying creak on my Fuel Exe which is quite well documented across the interwebs. The bike shop I bought it from didn't know about this issue but PP did so I took it to them and now it is creak free :). Definately be back here for future purchases as I previously didn't know they existed in Wellington. TVM PP.”

“The absolute best chaps in the city for all things bikes. I’ve been to Giant multiple times with questions and issues on my bike and they’re always super friendly and very knowledgable, often happy to chat or fix something basic free of charge. Special shoutout to Roman who always seems to be available when I’ve needed something fixing!”

“There is a very wide variety of equipment related to guns, outdoor sports, hunting and fun for the entire family. Service was great, very kind, professional and helpful. Thank you very much and I will definitely come back.”

“This shop stocks such an amazing range of apparel catering from kids to Adults with great prices. Frontline Staff are very knowledgeable and welcoming. Highly recommend”

“Good footy gear at a reasonable price. I got a kiddies Phoenix shirt $10 cheaper than Rebel, Ryos, etc.”

“Went in looking for a new set of irons, Received the most incredible treatment throughout the fitting, Great feedback and tips throughout and catered to my swing and needs perfectly! Couldn’t recommend this place enough! Huge thanks to Sven for making the process smooth and enjoyable!”

“Georgia and Jen were spectacular. I needed a college uniform on short notice. Didn't know what was needed for the year my child is attending. A few easy questions later, the team had me sorted! By far the most painless experience with back to school shopping.”

“I went Wellington store to buy sundown wool jersey my size was sold out and was only online sell. But got a leather belt, good customer service.”

“Jessica Lee was an absolute delight to deal with. She was super helpful and kind to us, very patient and chatty and lovely. Thank you for the excellent service!”

“Dear Team at Dive Wellington + anyone else who may be interested in learning how to (breathe underwater) scuba dive, like I have… I would 100% recommend choosing to learn here with a 5/5 star rating! I’ve recently earned my cert as an open water scuba diver on the 18th March 2025 & this has been one of my favourite learning experiences hands down. The team at Dive Wellington are not only dedicated & passionate, they have a great wealth of knowledge & experience they’re keen to share with others! Depending on your preference in learning, whether it be in a group, with a friend or one on one, each learner can be accommodated. I had the pleasure of learning with Dive Instructor Lene, who made the education around what I was taught, fun! I almost didn’t want the training to end it was that good & I can’t wait to dive beside you in the future. But wait… Acknowledgment deserves to be given to the shop owners/operators Paula & Dave where I would like to give them both huge thanks for helping me achieve my goal of certification. Kris Nightingale”

“Awesome dairy. The owner is very helpful and they have a variety of useful items as well as the usual milk, bread etc. The staff are really friendly as well.”

“I just wanted to share some outstanding customer service I received from Dan and his team at Bicycle Junction even when I wasn't an actual customer. It made my week and that was last week and I'm still smiling. When my bike's disc brakes locked up so I practically had to carry my bike, I took it to Bicycle Junction for a rescue. Dan quickly assessed that my bike was in a bad way but managed to fix the brakes, give the gears a tweak and even tighten my bicycle carrier which was missing a screw, as well as blow up my tires. This all came free of charge with some sage advice to get some serious work done on my poor bike. I really appreciated the friendly no fuss service. I was able to cycle away and ponder whether I buy a new bike or get my bike overhauled. I'm still mulling it over, but thank you guys for saving me the other day. Highly recommend.”

“We use Brazen for our gym's apparel every year. Amazing quality screen printing and embroidery. Great price, awesome service and so speedy. Highly recommend.”

“Excellent customer service! Would definitely recommend coming here - these guys seriously know their stuff and want to help you out. I called in to see if I had installed my roof racks correctly and Andy was only too happy to help. He checked them, replaced a missing pin and sent me on my way at no cost. Thanks Andy, you’re the man!”

“Easy to book online. Really lovely service in person by staff who genuinely wanted us to enjoy our ride. The 2 hour ride itself was spectacular. The climb to the lighthouse got the heart rate up and the downhill was thrilling - well worth the effort. And cruising back to the start with the wind in our faces was just exhilarating. We highly recommend Wildfinder for their service, quality of bikes and location.”

“Shopped at the Board Factory, bought Ski boots and Skis, knowledgeable staff who are very helpful. Very good range of gear and opportunity for discount during summer sale.”

“The folks are so knowledgeable here! Skip the vlogs and just go in to get advice on tramping around NZ. Jay spent a good chunk of time explaining everything to me that I needed to know to get me TA ready.”

“Outstanding quality, two years after buying a waxed cotton hooded jacket”

“Popped into Capital Cycles for some help with my tyre and found really great service. Paul had good vibes about him, the type you find amongst cycle enthusiasts. He gave me a decent price for a new tyre and pump, and he put it on in no time, then he helped secure a loose brake cable. Also, they didn't mind my small dog waiting in the store, which is always nice.”

“Very friendly and helpful staff, always greeting us when we walk in and chatting to the kids. Very helpful and have a wide range of products in store. We have purchased all our kids scooters from here along with helmets. We also purchased our two older sons bikes from Evo cycles and were disappointed that it didn’t receive a free service, they said their best deal would be $199 for 3 services. MyRide however when buying my daughters bike at the same time, have advised that we get a free service at 6 weeks, 12weeks and 6months. So if your anything like me and suck at servicing your own bike, MyRide is the place to go! Highly recommended to everyone.”

“I want to give a special shout-out to Peter and Jason who really went out of my way to help me out. I arrived at the store end of last month with a broken rim and even though they were fully booked for repairs, they found a way to order a new wheel and repair my bike in a couple of days. All this even though I literally arrived at closing time! Extremely kind and helpful people. So thank you so much!!”
