I'm interested in the Cat founder boots in bronze, they seem very cheap in comparison to other shops, only €32

Do you reckon these going to be the same quality product as other shops?

I can't post a link to them sorry

Soarer

I wouldn't think so iHungry, but I've no proof of that.

People bought €25 Levi 501s from them and complained that they were nothing like the ones here.

This is something I wouldn't agree with, this is a very good post from reddit that I think is closer to the truth than when people say sportsdirect have some sort of Levis 'b' stock. I have bought Levis jeans in the flagship Levis shop in San Francisco and there really isn't any difference from what I got from sports direct. I've bought other big brands from sportsdirect like North Face and Adidas and again they seem fine to me compared to what you would get elsewhere. Now when it comes to sports direct stuff like karrimor and donnay they are absolute rubbish. Bottom line I think most of the big brands that sportsdirect sell are same as you will get anywhere else. It's very subjective though and some people will swear the jeans they got in Brown Thomas are not same quality as the ones from sportsdirect which is only natural. Just my 2 cents

So what part don't you agree with?
The part that I don't think so (which I don't)?
The part where I don't have any proof (which I don't)?
The part where people bought cheap Levi's (which they did)?
Or the part where people complained (which they did)?

quick question regarding an order - thought it should be delivered by now and noticed 2 items are pre-order. does this mean order on hold until these items come in?
status is "awaiting pre-order"

Yep your whole order will be on hold, until the pre-order stuff comes in.

Just stating my opinion on the matter, what's yours?

I don't have an opinion on it.

I was just asking which part of my post you wouldn't agree with.

Not sure where the confusion is, thought it was pretty clear from my initial response. I wouldn't agree with the sentiment that some people(Not you personally it would appear?) don't think the quality of Levis jeans sold by sportsdirect is the same as you would get in more reputable/Levis store.

Any idea when is soon?
The sign was up a week ago, but builders still at it and I can't guestimate how long is left.

I'm on the fence for big size shoes, hoping they'll have anything I can try first for a change.

In china they would have built a town by now.

Nowso

looks like heatons are involved simalar to Navan store which wasnt great when i was in it

DubDJ

I wouldn't expect the new Sports Direct store to open anytime soon. They've been working on it for well over six months now and when I passed a few days ago the inside was still a shell.

It has to be one of the slowest redevelopments I've ever seen.

ErinGoBrath

Sportsdirect reopening two story shop in Dundalk retail park soon.

Currently sportsworld upstairs and Heatons downstairs. Heatons closing to allow sports direct expansion

Seve OB

is there any actual sports direct shops open yet in Ireland?

Heatons / Sports World are the same company.

There's one being built in Dublin City. But haven't seen anything about when it'll be finished.

tbourk02

Think there is one in Castlebar

I know that. I was just wondering if there were any actual Sports Direct Shops as opposed to Sports World open here yet

A few have opened under sports direct ,I'm finding since they've changed over they've become more expensive

aj89

Passed the one on North Earl St a few minutes ago. Over the last week they to seemed to get the finger out. All the shelving looks up, painting around the door is being done and just a bit of flooring needs to go down!

whelan2

There's one in Drogheda. Cheaper to buy online though

Seve OB

Seems there are officially none here just yet according to their own website

Quazzie

Sportsworld don't match the website prices, so I wonder will Sports Direct when they open?

Berty

There is a sports direct in Limerick. It was a sports world upstairs with heatons downstairs now it's sportdirect downstairs and heatons upstairs.

robyntmorton

At this stage all of the SportsWorld stores are Sportsdirect in all but the name on the outside of the building.

I have noticed slight price differentials between store and web prices, but they're not huge in most cases, and I'd be about happy to pay it for the convenience of not waiting.

It will be interesting to see if they start bringing the store prices in line with web at some point though, especially if they will offer click+collect deliveries.

Berty

Yes, mostly just in the name. Maybe it's like Primark/Penneys. Penneys staff here now have their new uniforms(t-shirts) which say Primark but above the door it says Penneys.

JonnyM

Bought 2 pairs of Dunlop canvas trainers for the kids and both are about 2 sizes too big.

Not worth the hassle sending them back just be aware if anyone is buying.

Kat1170

Pretty certain the Heatons in Naas has the SD logo on their Credit Card reader screen, although the till receipt still says Heatons.

at least they will grow into them

Said it before here, if SD own the brand look at it in store first. It's a lottery in terms of quality especially shoes. Dunlop , Airwalk, No Fear are but a few I won't buy from them they are cheap for a reason.

They do have good prices on other ones and consistent sizing like DC, Nike etc. etc.

magicray

I bought hiking shoes for myself that are too big :mad:has anyone tried to exchange in a Sports World shop by any chance

Its not worth sending them back tbh

Walked past the one on talbot street yesterday. Its not that far away from being finished. They are currently fitting it out. Looks good inside with the different brands being split up in sections

khamilto

I went into my first bricks & mortar sportsdirect store recently (Lisburn). The quantity of non-SD brands was shockingly low and there were pretty much no deals to be had on any.

I have a good few karrimor running clothes from 4-5 years ago, so tried on some of their t-shirts and shorts. The degradation in quality from good for the price (rather than "good") to crap is astonishing, and the prices have only gone up.

iguot

The only bargain is the one they got themselves on the American expansion deal.
