Terrible experience and will not be returning to any marathon sports. Kathy is a nightmare to even be around. I felt terrible for the younger man employee, steam rolling him and making everyone involved SO uncomfortable. I couldn't leave fast enough. The worst part is as I read other reviews she's been a problem for years. Sad to lose customers for a terrible employee but it seems marathon sports values Kathy more over the customers and making a profit. When I walked in as j was speaking to young male employee I had swallowed my water the wrong way and I was choking/ coughing and her voice comes from the back and says "NOBODY IS SICK IN HERE ARE THEY?" Wow what a greeting. I said no, choking on my water thank you. What a warm welcome into the store. The young employee listened to my needs ( I was referred by a podiatrist who told me exactly why type of shoe I needed) when those shoes weren't in stock Kathy went into attack mode telling me I needed to try this other pair, when the other employee spoke up and said that's not the type of shoe she's referred here for, well that just set her off. She would NOT give it up. Would not let me leave. Harassing the other employee well they aren't fitting becuase "she needs a wide!!! DID YOU TRY A WIDE!??" I ran out of there so fast, will never return. I can't imagine the other employee will last much longer putting up with her.

Great service all around, I went in after doing some reading into shoes that are good for knee pain. After measuring my feet on the machine Mike came back with the shoes I was interested in and two other pairs. One of the pairs he selected that I hadn't heard of was the most comfortable thing I ever put on my feet.The woman there was also very nice, she apologized because I had to wait about 2 minutes to check out because there was another customer who got there before me, it wasn't a long wait.

Stopped in to exchange sizes today because I wasn't sure and the man who helped me was super awesome even when I eventually decided to keep the ones I already bought. Amazing customer service and super knowledgeable staff-tysm!!

I stopped in to see what Hoka’s were available, knowing they were good for flat feet like mine. Upon walking in the entire staff was super friendly; Kathy made my day by going into great detail about what I needed for my feet, why, and what I didn’t need. It made all the difference instead of buying a random pair. So glad I shopped here, could support a more “local” shop and will gladly be back in the future!!

I tried to return 2 pairs of sneakers that didn't work for me. The lady I believe to be the manager greeted me. I told her the sneakers were worn for less than 30 days and caused so much knee pain that it was swollen. I told her I had never had any knee pain ever in my life. She asked if I wore compression socks or was under medical care for my knees. I told her NO the sneakers caused it. She then said she had to inspect the sneakers to see if worn. Really?? I just told her they were and that I wanted them replaced. So she looks at them and says, "we can't give you your money back they are worn!" She asked if I wanted the same ones replaced!!! Why would I want the same ones? By now, I'm tired of her third-degree hassle. Another sales associate helps after I ask to see other brands to try . I am then told a pair I like doesn't come in wide. Both pairs I tried to return were wide. Why did he bring me them??? I don't know. He said I could try men's, they might be wider, but they didn't have my size.I told him I was going to Norwell. I took my sneakers and left.I walked in Norwell, and in less than 15 minutes later, I had my sneakers that DO come in wide and another pair I love. Easy no hassle return .I do NOT recommend Plymouth location. Go to Norwell!

Good selection but the Kathy has a pretty serious attitide problem. She is argumentative and rude, and seems to be a bit emotionally unstable. If you enjoy being verbally abused and mocked while trying to buy shoes, then this is the place. I'm not sure how she keeps her job as I see now that I'm not the only person who has had issues with her.

Im so happy I decided to check out marathon sports! Decklin really took the time to find me the perfect fit, size and color. He had so much knowledge of the different shoes and applied it to my specific needs. The other lady there was helpful too! Im happy with my purchase and will always go back for my future shoes! 100% recommend this store! Thank you so much!!

I went to this location with a group of girls as a new runner in search of a good running shoe, and advice on getting one that would help. immediately walking in the employee who "helped" us, Kathy, had an awful attitude from the jump. she was making comments the whole time making the whole experience very uncomfortable, we couldn't leave faster. i will be going to boston anytime i need assistance from this point on.

My visit to Marathon Sports today was a successful and positive experience. Running is something that I’ve slowly learned to love and it’s become a hobby that helps me grow and feel good about myself. My siblings gave me a gift card here for my birthday because I was in need of a better shoe and we heard this place knew how to help. They completely blew my expectations out of the park and the staff went above and beyond to help me. Excellent customer service. I’m truly grateful for the way they personally helped me- from saving my gift card from the trash to measuring the pressure points of my step to help me find a comfortable fit. I left with a pair of Brooks that i took to the test shortly after I left and I’ve never had a more comfortable run. I will loyally come here now whenever my shoes wear out because I trust In their educated and helpful staff! Five stars!!

I am giving this 3 cause I am a loyal customer for marathon sports and I don’t want to hurt this company; however, my experience in this store was horrible. I am a foreigner visiting from another country and it’s easily to tell from the accent. I walked there with my mom who speaks and understands English really well and who has a medical condition in her feet which made her feet wide. The lady in there honestly made our experience the worst experience. She talked down on us like we don’t understand anything. My mom is insecure about her feet, and whenever she wanted to try something the lady tells her loudly like if she is speaking to someone with hearing issues “ those are not going to fit you” and refused to grab a size because she doesn’t want to go down and up, but we insisted until she brought it and guess what? It fit perfect on my mom. Through out our visit the lady smirked so many times and told me “does she know she needs a surgery?” “Does she understand?” Talking about my mom while she is there, I don’t think it’s part of her job to give a medical advice. We ended up buying 3 shoes and the lady wasn’t happy and giving us the feeling we are making a bad decision. Again I hope this experience doesn’t hurt the business cause it is an individual act, but I hope that doesn’t happen to anyone else.

Great athletic shoe shopping experience. Very personalized and friendly service. You walk out knowing you just purchased a great quality shoe that fits you perfectly.
