Hi, for sport shops I would go to the city centre to Moenckebergstrasse/Spitalerstrasse, because there are many shops there. In general Moenckebergstrasse/Spitalerstrasse is the biggest shopping street in Hamburg. Some shops there: Runners point http://www.runnerspoint.com/filialen/filial-detailseite/?StoreId=701 Sport Karstadt (it's a large warehouse at the beginning of Moenckebergstrasse from Hauptbahnhof) Sportcheck: http://www.sportscheck.com/is-bin/INTERSHOP.enfinity/WFS/Sportscheck-SportscheckDe-Site/de_DE/-/EUR/SPM_ViewStatic-View?Template=cms%2Ffilialen%2Fspm_filiale_hamburg Intersport / Sporth?tte M?nckebergstrasse 22 You can also check the normal shoe stores there like Goertz, probably they have also sport shoes.
