Cleve’s Source For Sports

First, this store’s employees have always been very nice and accomodating when I’ve been there in the past. This comment is about their «Ask our staff-​we know our stuff» posts they have in their shoe department. They don’t. I was in this past weekend and asked a staff member what the drop was on a shoe. She didn’t know what I was talking about (yikes-​really?) I explained its the height difference between the heel and the toe in a shoe. I personally won’t buy anything with a difference bigger than 4 mm, hence my question. She said «oh you know, its average», average drop? Clearly she didn’t know anything about this topic. Then I asked if they had any minimalist shoes. She scanned the room and said no-​they were shipped out last week. Umm. the pairs sitting on the shelf must have escaped her view. Not once did she ask another staff member gor help (she needed it). I didn’t buy anything since I couldn’t be confident the staff member would recommend the best shoe for me. Too bad. Clearly the employees handling the shoe department need a bit of product/​running shoe education.

Cleve’s located in Cole Harbour is one of the smaller stores, but I find it
a very clean and staff nice.
The store has a nice selection and because I do not find it one of the busier spots, sometimes you get a better selection.
They are having the buy one get one for a loonie sale now. You can pick up some great sneaks here.
