“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.”
“My wife and I have both purchased nice, quality shoes here, but their real bread and butter is the kids selection. Rather than purchasing cheaper shoes at Walmart, Target or similar that break, get ruined or kid grows out of in a few weeks, we decided to start going to Michelson's when our son started running around outside at daycare all the time and 100% do NOT regret it. The staff is super friendly and knowledgeable about inventory and the one time our son's shoes have torn in the four years we've been going, they let him exchange for a new pair. Every other pair have last for multiple seasons, and he's outside a LOT. he's also excited to go (and I've noticed other kids are as well) to see their "pet alligator" - who lives in a wall cavity behind the cash register. They knocked it out of the park with that thing.”
“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”

“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 :)”
“Genner and the other associate were very helpful. They had a great selection. Unfortunately, all my items had to be billed separately and Genner was very patient in processing multiple orders. Thanks for the great service.”
“Steve killed it today. I showed up at 11am on a Tuesday and the store was busy for a midweek day. Nonetheless Steve picked the ideal set of options for me in minutes and the first one was the winner. Walked out 30 minutes later with the most comfy shoes I’ve ever run in. Wallet was a bit lighter though :)”
“I live halfway across the country and ordered 2 hats I had tried for weeks to find online. Teddy got them shipped quickly, and they are perfect! Thanks, Teddy! Would definitely highly recommend”
“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.”
“Great customer service experience! I was greeted by multiple people on the way in, and a great sales associate helped me to find what I wanted! And I love my shoes -- I would definitely go back next time I need gear!”
“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.”
“Fredis was very helpful very kind took over an hour with the man he found me the right shoe that fit my needs and was also very kind to my daughter and also help find a sneaker that fits her needs as well five star reveal”
“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.”

“Beautiful store, lovely staff! The clothing and accessories here are works of art and displayed immaculately. They feature well-curated articles ranging from techwear to romantic gothic styles - perfect for anyone who likes it a shade darker. Shopping here is a joy both in person and on the website. The staff are so friendly and attentive and respond quickly to online inquiries. Go in and admire the beauty of it all!
Edited to add that this is a great place to look for gifts. I got a La Haine coat for my partner here. It’s now his favorite outerwear and he looks forward to wearing it every time!”

“The sports goods store located near the Assembly MRT often offers discounts on a wide range of clothing, shoes and sports accessories. Occasionally there will be additional discounts. For those who join the official website as a member for the first time, there will be discounts.”
“ok if you read the one star review saying this is bad because its behind another store but DO NOT TURN AWAY. this is hands down the best sneakerstore I have ever been in and I have been in 60+ in the past 2 years. all the shoes are in amazing condition if they are used, amazing prices close to ebay personal pricing, all real, amazing worker. please come here if you love shoes and have the chance”

“The staff here are unfailingly friendly, helpful and knowledgeable. It’s always a pleasure to come to this store. They’re never pushing their products and they’re not snobs about their gear. It’s not what you’d expect! It’s better!”
“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.”
“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!!!”
“Reliable and affordable spot for cute clothes for little ones. The quality is very nice and holds up well enough to be passed down to younger friends or siblings if they've got 'em. I wish there were fewer super-gendered graphic designs, but as things are, everything is brightly colored and appealing and my son loves it (and every once in a while, one of those graphic items will be so adorable that it's heartbreaking to give it up when your kid grows out of it). Even if nothing here otherwise appeals to you, the fleece drawstring pants are the best and warmest thing your kiddo can wear in the winter, and are always worth stocking up on. A lot of other baby clothes shops at a lower price point than this do not have clothes with as nice of a fabric or as sturdy of a seaming as Carter's, and Carter's is not expensive in the first place. So anyway - solid shop, nice and patient customer service, non-annoying traffic nearby. Kind of a no-brainer if you have little ones or are shopping for someone else's.”
