About Us


Mel Cotton’s Sporting Goods is the South Bay’s premier outdoor recreation store with 56 years of experience. Since the day Mel first opened our doors, we’ve prided ourselves on providing excellent customer service and superb expertise in boot fitting. Our gear, apparel and rental selection is extensive and provides excellent choices for all levels from enthusiasts and novices.

Our staff is among the most knowledgeable in the entire Bay Area. Our boot fitters have been trained at MasterFit University where they have achieved top-level Masters certification. We can perform all custom boot fitting services, make Instaprint custom footbeds, and back it all with our Boot Fit Guarantee.

At Mel Cotton’s, we get you into the right boot the first time—and we guarantee your fit for the entire season. If you are ever not completely satisfied with the way your boots fit, come and see our specialists for a custom fitting. We can do it all from stretching liners and shells to stance balancing.

Mel Cotton’s continued strength remains in our focus on customer service and strong product knowledge. This is enhanced by striving to employ a team of young, energetic, multi-sported staff members; who's outdoor sporting experience (and passion) is personal and first hand.

So drop by or check us out online and get the professional experience that will help make this your best winter ever.
