“I had such a great shopping experience with Nijah! She was incredibly patient and took the time to help me find the right pair of shoes. She was so friendly and genuinely passionate about what she does. You can really tell she cares about making sure her customers are happy. I really appreciated all of her help and left very happy with my purchase. Thank you, Nijah, for making the whole experience so enjoyable!”
“Nice place, staff was attentive and helpful. We forgot cleats at home and they were able to find us something in our daughter's size. Glad we came to Sports Etc.”
“This store has a decent inventory. They are trying to work out some kinks in pricing and programs. After using their demo program which afforded me the ability to try different types of skis this season, I was frustrated at what felt like negotiating final cost of price of purchasing a final setup I chose. However, the manager was super nice and explained what’s going on. His bedside manner and another employees (Skye) left me feeling alright about the overall experience-and the final deal felt comfortable for me. A nice spot on a bit of a learning curve.”
“Great experience here.
They take your time to measure your feet and walking/running habits to find your best fit. I wish I got the gentleman’s name who assisted me this afternoon (4/6) but he was so personable and easy to work with. Totally would come back!”
“I love marathon sports! They were so patient and thoughtful and really explained to me the reasons why I needed arch support. Super helpful! Thank you for making buying shoes so easy!!”
“Very cool shop! Super race-oriented, they have a wide selection of gear. They were able to hook me up with a great wetsuit just a week out from my first sprint tri!”
“This place is great! Perfect for all ages! There’s at least 15 Lanes, I don’t know exactly, I just left for the first time. I’d recommend it to anyone! Weather your age 5-15ish they have slow speed pitching machines, also baseball pitching machines that probably go at least 80-85mph. BOOK AHEAD OF TIME! You’ll be way better off booking early because it does fill up on weekends, today I went with my niece, and I booked 1 hour. It’s $50 for 1 hour. Go and have a blast!”
“I'd been told by several SUP places in Massachusetts and Maine that my SUP couldn't be repaired, I had to buy a new one. I finally asked AI who COULD repair it and was told Paddle Boston/Charles River Canoe & Kayak. Not only did they repair it perfectly but they couldn't have been more gracious and helpful. Marc helped me find a new fin on the internet that I had to order, and John helped me navigate my new electric pump which had a lot of bells and whistles to figure out. They both spent a lot of time with me, and I was all set to paddle again. I can't say enough good things about this business.”
“Excellent staff, I drove almost 3 hours to get an item my daughter wanted for Christmas and they were sold out everywhere but this one store. I met two young staff members who were so nice, very knowledgeable. I will definitely be heading back there again. The company should be proud they have such great employees.Alfie and GiGi were Awesome!!!!!!$”
“Such a friendly and welcoming place!
I am very very new to figure skating, and, not gonna lie...it's kind of an intimidating sport for the uninitiated! I finally got fed up with rental skates, and made an appointment for a fitting with Ice House, and what a wonderful experience!
The tech was super thorough, and though it took three sizes (and a few adjustments) to get to my perfect pair, I never felt like I was wasting anybody's time. In the end, I got a pair of beautiful gently used skates that feel great, and better yet, I came out of the store feeling like I had been treated like a queen! Seriously... go here.”
“One of the best services I have experienced. It happened that I was served by Nayquan - exceptional approach, professional assistance and good sense of humor. Highly recommend shop and try to get Nayquan to help you. Thanks, Darius”
“I had two amazing sneaker-buying experiences at Marathon Sports in Lexington this week. Jackson spent at least 1.5 hours helping my daughter pick out the right combination of shoes and inserts for her feet. He was so knowledgeable and patient, such a great listener, and made feel super comfortable with the process. This experience was so positive that I came back the next day for myself, and Abbi was equally awesome! Thanks for some of the best customer service I’ve experienced in my 50+ years…”
“Great service and incredible shoes! My colleague and I were fitted for running shoes with two vastly different goals and were both pleased with the shoes recommended to us. Will be returning for the next replacement pair.”
“Oliver took the time to help me find the perfect running shoe for my needs. He prioritized me and made me feel as if I was the only customer in the store. I ended up buying sneakers, which are the second pair I’ve bought from this store. Always a great experience and I’ll continue to go back”
“Extremely knowledgeable staff who will work with you to find the right shoe. great return policy give you confidence that you can try a pair out (indoors) until you find the right one.”
“Had a fantastic first experience. My daughter needed cleats for another sport and Chad was helpful, patient and extremely knowledgeable of the features of the different options. We walked out with exactly what we needed and wouldn't hesitate to come back again.”

“Good products and great customer service. Nick helped me make a decision with confidence, walked away with a much needed equipment upgrade. Thank you! 🙏”
“They sold us non-matching skis. We went back with the receipt 3 weeks later and they refused to take them back because they were a matching set. At the end of the season they again refused them because the skis didn’t match. We never used them.
Update: the manager and I had a discussion and they’ve agreed to give us store credit. I’m happy with the overall outcome.”
“This is the best running store I have ever been to hands down. The owners are amazing people and I never feel pressured into buying here. Their free runs are incredible too!”

“There were a lot of options! This isnt the place to shop for plus sized people. The gear is great but the clothes dont go past mid-size unless you're a man of course!”
“This Columbia store has a great selection of clothing with very good quality and a wide variety of styles and sizes. The location is convenient, and parking is easy and available nearby. The area also has many other stores and restaurants, so it is a great place for shopping, eating, and spending time with family or friends. Overall, it was a very good shopping experience.”
“Legit is a gem of a store, I love coming into this shop and finding cute items that are carefully curated. We created these beachy/summer themed balloons as an eye catching display for their storefront! Highly recommend visiting this shop anytime you're in the area because there's always something new to find there.”
“Have gotten several jerseys designed and ordered here in the past. Rob is very knowledgeable and responsive. The entire process has typically been under 2 months from initial reach out to delivery”
“This is a Boston sneaker store "hidden gem" but a 40+ year staple for locals. They have classic & modern sneakers alike, with an emphasis on the 3-stripe local favorite Adidas (including she'll toes, top 10, and modern offerings). There are also Nike, Champion, Fila, etc. Brands. Along with Men's, women's, and childrens sneakers and slides, there is an array of clothing for sale.”
“They have everything you would need or want at a golf store. Most prices are set by the manufacturer so there's not much difference from other places. I did notice the clothes were pretty expensive. But they did a great job regripping my clubs at a reasonable price.”
“A go-to for sporting goods and sneakers. Supply lots of school teams. Very friendly and helpful staff. It’s not large, but I like that. I don’t feel overwhelmed with the selection.”

“store is amazing as well as the staff . great quality of clothes also . only reason i gave four stars is because prices online are not the same in store so take screenshots and then most of the time you can get a price match. also added discount if you use your store card sometimes .”

“The staff was really friendly and helpful, they didn't have exactly the shoes I was looking for but they got out the 3 closest pairs to try and even recommend brands they don't carry to check out. Overall a really smooth and pleasant experience”
“Wow, we had been having a swimsuit crisis (this happens every year with my daughter, who is now 11 years old but has gone through puberty a bit earlier and is **VERY** sensitive about her body) where nothing works, and a woman on staff (maybe manager?) swept in and SAVED the day! She knew JUST what to say to sell my daughter on finally trying (another) swimsuit (we had to order it from home, full coverage high waisted swim bottoms, but it's on the way!). I am seriously so thankful to this staffer! She was like our swimsuit fairy godmother.”
“Different in a good way over any other New Balance outlet stores I've experienced. Has more inventory and options than anywhere else. Highly recommend if you want NB gear. But sadly no baseball gear ever.”
