The Coliseum

Our daughter plays a lot of soccer so we splurged and bought her some very expensive Nike cleats ($ 300) from the Coliseum thinking they would wear well. Unfortunately the sole started tearing away from the shoe after about 2 months. After being used for 4 months the sole of the cleat had a split across the entire cleat.
When we went in to replace them, I expected that given the extent of the cleat failure and cost of the shoe, the Coliseum would apologize and take back the shoe for a credit to pay for the replacement cleats. Instead, the manager said I could take care of it by returning the shoes to
. They could return the shoe to Nike as well but I was told that the upper management of The Coliseum had mandated that they can only take shoes back after 30 days.
Of course, the return process to
takes weeks and results in a
credit. My daughter has an ODP tournament in early January so we need to buy cleats now. As a result, we have no way to apply the cost of the failed shoes toward the replacement cleats.
To add insult to injury, when I continued to push on the issue, the manager said that «the cleat failure was caused by toe drag» implying a $ 300 show falling apart after 4 months of play was caused by my daughter dragging her toe too much. As if, toe dragging is not a normal part of playing soccer!

The Coliseum is great! I was on a hunt for foldable goals and found this store on Unilocal.I called and Raul explained they had three sizes.
My son was turning six and is a soccer fanatic. With a household rooting for Argentina and Holland, I – with great joy – found a Dutch kids jersey set (jersey, shorts, socks). They even had a K.N.V.B. top for me and loads of Arsenal, Argentina, Man U gear. I also picked up a set of the two-​foot goals. Raul helped everyone in the store and was very attentive, despite being alone for the whole floor. I purchased a pump but later realized I needed only the needles. When I returned same day, he happily processed an exchange and sold me the needles I needed.
Wonderful experience. Excellent for soccer fans… lots of Mexico and USA gear along with club teams and the favorites. They can also put names/​numbers on the back of jerseys and likely other gear. We’ll be back for Messi apparel when more sizes come in! Excellent selection and service.
Thank you, Raul.

The Coliseum rocks my (soccer) socks!
I was recently pure-​pressured into joining the soccer team at my school. I finally caved in and decided to join. My good friend recommended the Coliseum to purchase my soccer gear and I had a great experience!
The store is right off of the San Pedro exit on Highway 101 in San Rafael. It’s a relatively small store, but they carry a large selection of merchandise. When I arrived, the employee working fit me for cleats. He was incredibly helpful and gave great suggestions for styles that fit my very narrow feet. I finally decided on a pair of Nike women’s cleats, which were the last pair on sale (score!) He also helped me pick out a few pairs of socks and shin guards.
I really appreciate all of the help from the crew at the Coliseum. I found everything that I was looking for during my visit and I plan to return for future purchases. If you’re looking into buying gear in bulk, I was told that they offer discounts to teams. Check it out!

Best Soccer Shop in the Bay Area. Has a name press, all the big jerseys both club and international. Has the higher grade boots and equipment. On top of all of that, it has everything a coach needs (mini goals, cones, nets, ball bags… etc etc).
The owner is a very friendly guy and is always willing to do his best to make his customers happy. I work down the street and stop by as often as i can. Always pick up stuff from my team ARSENAL.
Will be giving this guy all my soccer related business from here on out.
Help this business thrive! Go check it out!
edit: I made this Unilocal!account just to review this guy. That should say something ;) Cheers.
