I didn't like them sneaking their catalogue (and charging me money for it) into my order, and so I wrote this review for their website. It was removed, by the Sports Directs censors.
I hope this makes some of you smile, this is their response (with my personal info deleted):

What an amazing magazine. I love it and I am so happy that you decided that it should be added to my cart. It was a great idea to send me this magazine without asking me.

Paying £1 for a magazine i did not want or order is just so wrong... if they are doing this to all the customers it must be like a lotto win every week for them!
Great UK site for cheap sports apparel and shoes. The store is round the corner but the site has to offer huge range of stuff and more cheaper online deals at times. Fab for those looking for cheapest deals on nike trainers.
Great site and customer service! I've ordered 3 shirts and one of them was too small. They changed it free of charge and sent me a gift - giant cup with their website on it! :)
Answer: Stores in the USA selling hiking boots usually have thick socks for customers to put on before trying boots. If this store does not, it would be wise to wear the socks you plan to use with the boots when trying them on. Caveat emptor
Answer: On the issue of not refunding the purchase price, is that common policy for retailers in the UK? I'm surprised there isn't a government agency for consumer protection that looks into / bans this.
