“I’m a local physical therapist and refer patients here for sneaker fittings. I’m always happy with the choice and fit and they report good experiences with the staff!”
“Had a great shopping experience at the Dedham store. Woody, the sales clerk, was extremely helpful and a pleasure to speak with. I found everything that I came in for quickly and easily.”
“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've been to Orchard a few times now, and I've loved it every time. My boyfriend is more into skateboarding than me, but they've always treated me with kindness regardless. The shop is clean, has a great selection, and everyone who works there knows their stuff. I actually just ordered a pair of Converse CONS Fastbreak Pros and they shipped almost immediately and got to me in record time! They arrived in pretty much perfect condition, not even a dent in the box. Definitely will buy from here again next time I need a pair of kicks!”
“Unfortunately, the receipt of my order was problematic due to UPS related handling / delivery issues. However, December Thieves management promptly addressed and resolved UPS failure to process and deliver my package. Fortunately, I received my significantly delayed order immediately following December Thieves proactive actions. I highly commend management for their professional, personable, and quality customer service (which of course, is vital to maintaining established customers, cultivating new ones, and increasing business productivity and revenue).”
“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.”

401 Main St, Melrose“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 ?”

94 Pleasant St, South Weymouth“The best of the best! Proprietors Bill and Gina Larossa carry amazing brands and fashion while also being incredibly welcoming and kind. I am particularly drawn to their extensive collection of Italian makers and brands. When you shop at Louie you get a hands on, personal approach to looking your best.On their Cobbler side of the business, they have resoled many, many pairs of dress shoes, boots, and loafers for me over the years. I have tried many cobbler services over the years- I am certain there is no better Cobbler and shoe repairer than Larossa Shoe.”

“Best in-store customer service experience I've had, probably best ever. If you need good work or hiking boots and are looking for a quality product, Red Wing should be your next stop.”
“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 :)”

100 Huntington Ave Unit G018A, Boston“I had a fantastic time working with Bianca! I first visited the salon alone early in my dress searching process and ended up saying "Yes!" on a return visit with family. Throughout the entire process, Bianca was so kind and did an excellent job pulling a variety of styles that fit my "vision." She was patient, never pushy, and truly listened to what I liked/did not like about each dress so that she could select others accordingly. The dress I ended up choosing was one of her suggestions!”
“Very cute boutique in the heart of dorchester. Very helpful and attentive from the moment you walk in. The pieces are unique and affordable. I will return and definitely recommend”
“Visited and shopped at this location on Saturday February 3, 2024. Myaelf and my brother, who uses a wheelchair when shopping, he cannot walk very far or stand for very long. The customer service he received from Daryl Harris was above and beyond. Thank you Daryl for being an exemplary human being.I could tell from all the employee interactions we had that this is a place people like coming to work, and work together as a team. I highly recommend that people shop here.”

111 Newbury St, Boston“This was my first time in Boston, I am originally from DC. I've frequented the Georgetown store before, but the selection was not as good as this one. I walked in, and was greeted instantly by Ken. He walked me to the men's department and helped me find my perfect size, brought me different options, and helped me find pieces that matched my skin tone. I appreciate your help Ken, and next time I visit Boston I will drop by to pick up some more pieces. Thanks a bunch!”

I appreciated that the team brought the shoes out so quickly since my toddler was very anxious to see the shoes and was also was getting tired after a long morning out. My daughter loves her new shoes and I love mine, too!”
“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.”
