Our Story
Founded in 1982, Sports 4 humbly began in a space of only 1000 square feet, with a small staff of 4, and only 2 running shoe models. Despite the business' expansion, and several changes over the years, one thing remains consistent: our commitment to creating a welcoming, unique, and informed active-wear shopping experience for the Ottawa region.
In order to deliver this service, our Fit Specialists are trained to understand proper footwear fitting principles, performance footwear functionality, proper foot measurement/sizing, the relationship between footwear and orthotics, and how to perform a walking gait analysis.
In addition to our expertise, we carry a large variety of footwear brands, many of which come with width options to accommodate a number of different foot shapes. Having long standing relationships with footwear brands such as New Balance, Brooks, Mizuno, Asics, Saucony, and Dunham, to name a few, we do our best to keep those wider widths and bigger sizes in stock on a regular basis. This gives our customers a vast range of options
Coupling our expertise and services together with a vast catalog of footwear choices, we hope to make a visit to our stores a truly memorable experience. We now have 2 convenient Ottawa locations! Our downtown store at 149 Bank st, and in the west end at the College Square plaza ( 1371B Woodroffe ave at Baseline).
