Bi-Weekly Review 1- Champs Sports

For my monthly review I chose the web store owned by Champs Sports. Upon first glance of the website, I noticed a pretty busy layout, but needless to say it wasn’t hard at all to navigate through the website to find what I wanted. I would normally use this website to look for shoes, but Champs doesn’t just sell shoes, so they’ve sectioned out every brand with it’s own logo and clickable link so that the user may click on it and go to all the merchandise that, that specific company is selling through Champs Sports. For me, this made things MUCH easier because now I can just shoot straight for the “Air Jordan Logo” for example, and find the pair of Jordan shoes I want. After clicking the “Air Jordan” link, I am greeted with a nice simple way to further narrow my search results by, Jordan Shoes,  Jordan Clothing, Jordan Accessories, Jordan Sale, and a Top Sellers list. So I click on Jordan Shoes, and can further narrow my results by clicking what type of shoe I am looking for, whether it be Casual, Basketball, Training, New Arrivals, and a Sale link. Considering I want a newer pair of Jordan Shoes, I Click on “New Arrivals” and can now choose between Men’s shoes, Woman’s shoes, and Kid’s shoes. I can THEN filter my results with choosing a “product style” if I wanted to, for a certain sport like baseball for Jordan cleats i.e., by size available online, by price, and by color. Again I can really get in depth with how far I wish to narrow my results. Personally, when using Champs’ website I usually know what I am looking for and can type in the shoe I want and find it instantly if it is available. But for people who don’t know what they might want, the search and filter results that Champs provides is outstanding in my opinion. It provides a lot of help with people who may be “picky” or need something a certain color or whatever it may be; Champs’ website makes it VERY easy for anyone to filter what they may want and in that case I feel that Champs’ website is very easy to use and is easy to find a product, and easily put it into your shopping cart with no trouble or confusion what so ever.
