    Like that you can try on shoes without a salesperson hovering over you. Sign up to be a basementeer member to get 10% every purchase. Worth it!

    Great huge selection of anything you might need when sporting or doing outdoorsy stuff. Most of it can be rented as well! Especially recommend renting skis here before going to Tahoe for the weekend.

    A very friendly and helpful staff on every floor. Very thankful for Sports Basement in helping Ocean Shore School. 10% off for us and 5% back to the school.

    I could get lost for hours amidst the ski equipment, ski apparel, running gear, etc. There is a community area where you can sign up for any type of SF group sports , ski trips and local races. - Jill

    There are two bathrooms but I like the 4th floor ones the best. Check the sales racks often as they turn the merchandise quickly.

    If you're flying to SF to ski Tahoe rent skis here - cheaper than either what you would pay the airline to bring them on the plane or what the ski areas charge. Also, they have lift ticket discounts. Read more

    Make sure your board/skis are waxed before you leave... And I don't get why their online reservation system doesn't let you specify goofy/normal or binding angles for your board.

    Paradise for the outdoor enthusiast, but Man, their prices are no bueno. Also, be watch out w/ sales: their markdown is off MSRP; not list.
