“Had a couple questions about ordering online, as we live outside of MA. The person on the phone was super helpful and helped address all my questions. Overall great customer service so far. Just placed my online order!”
“Friendly workers. Running shoes, clothing, and gear are all high quality.I give 4 instead of 5 stars for two reasons. Mainly, there is no info on the shoes on the wall display. The Boston and Brookline locations list things like the model, stack height, and drop right next to the shoe. Cambridge really needs to do this.Secondly, the 3 shoes initially brought out didn’t match my foot scan at all. It was odd. But I did find a pair of Nikes I liked and was able to order them from Nike directly in the width I need. Note that width options are limited in most running stores. So I don’t fault Marathon sports for not carrying the wide.”
“Wonderful shoe store. Great stock. Best, most thoughtful service. The owner, is a gem. He goes out of his way to help you find what you want and what will serve you well. He doesn't rush you and he makes sure the shoe you pick is the right size for you. There aren't many shops like this anymore. Its a pleasure to shop there”
“The salesperson was extremely helpful in finding my father a sufficiently well fitting and good-looking suit for my grandmother's funeral. They seem to have a very good selection for people with various sized needs.”

“I had a great experience getting running shoes here! Sophia helped me choose a pair of shoes after I did the technological evaluation scan thing, where you step on the platform and it evaluates your shoe size, pronation level, and where you put pressure on your feet. She was wonderful at listening to what I was looking for, offering options, and explaining the benefits of different brands and styles. I ended up with a pair of Asics and also running socks. If I end up needing a shoe insole, I'll come back here. I would highly recommend this Marathon Sports ?”
“Pretty groovy store. Every pair of Doc Martens you could possibly think of is sold here, even the sandals. They also sell socks, insoles and products to keep your new boots looking shiny.”
“I stopped in to get a hole punch into my leather bag strap and Greg and Amina were so kind and helped me free of charge! Greg had his tools ready to go and it look no time at all. So glad to have a leather store that extends a helping hand :)”
“Place is great love the sign at nighttime when it’s all lit-up there’s not a lot of places to go and have fun anymore every place has been torn down and Condos built this is a classic 1950s bowling alley that sells beer ?”
“This Columbia Factory Store is a great place to shop, especially if you’re looking for quality outdoor gear at amazing prices. You can usually find great deals throughout the store—whether it’s jackets, shoes, or activewear, there’s always something worth picking up.
What really stood out was the helpful staff—they even assisted us at checkout by pointing out additional discounts and deals we didn’t know about. It made the whole shopping experience even better. Definitely worth a visit if you’re near the outlet!”
“Excellent service, with every customer in the (crowded) store assigned their own sales rep. Took the time to talk me through my choice and I was very happy with the experience.”

“It was my first time at Marathon sports today, and I was completely blown away by their service. John really took care of me and was very knowledgeable. I understand now why I was recommended this place. No other businesses compare.”
“Simon’s is a Boston gem! Yendry helped me find boots, a bag, and a pair of gloves at Simon’s Shoes on Tuesday- was some of the best customer service I’ve experienced. The store has a great selection and I’ll be back for more goodies soon.”

“Been coming to Pennyworth's for generations. Remember getting a winter coat with my grandmother in the fall. Now I am the grandparent...Nothing fancy and no junk.Quality clothes priced for regular folks, the store staff is polite and professional.”
“I was impressed by the great level of service.The honesty of the owner,in helping me to address my issue.and last but not least the quality of the repair work, It was outstanding, my old worn shoes are now better than brand new. Awesome work!!!”
“Re-doing my first review, now that I have more time. OMG, I love Cordani shoes. As in absolutely adore. I'm not sure how I heard about the brand, but I am thrilled I did. The shoes are cute, comfortable, Italian-made, and high-quality. I must have at least 7 or 8 pairs now. The retail outlet is next to their offices, and opened limited hours on Thursday, Friday, and Saturday. Prices at the outlet are extremely reasonable for such great shoes. Cordani has huge warehouse sales twice a year (June and December),which are super popular. You can usually meet at least one of the owners then, and they are both super friendly. However, if you unfortunately cannot visit Massachusetts, you can buy Cordani at Zappos, Nordstrom, or various shoe boutiques. I'm a Cordani fan for life.”

“Great experience at the Nike store in Boston. Perfect for quick shopping—everything is well organized, with a wide variety of products and the top-notch quality you’d expect from Nike. From sneakers to the latest athletic wear, they’ve got it all. The staff was friendly and efficient, and the store was spotless. If you’re in town and need to refresh your sportswear, this place is a must. Highly recommended!”
“For me, it's a perfect place to make returns of my online purchases that didn't quite fit... and, inevitably, find a great fitting pair right there!Super helpful and engaged, the staff I encountered gave suggestions and assistance I really appreciated.”
