Hilton's Tent City: what do users think?
Luis Sandoval: Was there today to check their backpacks. One of them wasn't friendly at all which ultimately made me decide not to purchase the backpack I was hesitant to buy ($229 Topo Designs Travel bag 40l) On the good part, it made me look up the Facebook marketplace again and got something for $100. I mean thanks no thanks. Imagine losing $229 sale just because you couldn't have a friendly conversation haha.
Tyler Saxe: Always has what I need, effective longstanding outdoor supply.
Oscar Morales: Hilton's Tent City has great customer support and quick shipping service. I had a wrong item shipped to me and emailed them and with no hassle they shipped me the correct item in no time! I would buy again from them.
Lily Harris: Love this local gear shop, the staff were honest and friendly in helping me find what I needed :)
Sean S.: Oh how I miss Hilton Tent City when they were in Boston and provided good value for the money. Regardless of inflation the prices they charge for men’s winter costs are ridiculous! I’ll stick with LL Bean.
Audiobooks Fun for Kids Playing Learning English: best of the best of the best... old schol. on the old schol...............kind of cool on the renovation NORTH STATION store..!! awesome sale.. can not wait til the LOUNGE is open
Nick Leheny: They had a hard to find item I was looking for. I called to make sure they had it, and then bought it on their website. They shipped it out promptly and it arrived early in perfect condition.
Daniel Place: Great locally owned outdoors shop. Friendly and knowledgeable staff, and a pretty good selection considering the size of the store and the location in downtown Cambridge.They have just about everything you could need for an outdoor adventure: tents, backpacks, clothing, footwear, cookware, knives, and other outdoor gear you'd need at the campsite or on the trail. They have a great staff, and they'll certainly help make your next outdoor adventure a success!
Katie G: Stopped by for the first time to grab a random collection of items for a backpacking trip, was not disappointed!!! Great recommendations, great brands, and super convenient being in Central. Will definitely be coming back for all outdoor gear!
Kenneth Mui (K): Tent City is truly the best hidden jewel when it comes down to traveling/hiking, camping gear. It was a lot bigger back in Boston, but I’m so happy they decided to open their doors in Cambridge! I’ve bought countless jackets, tents, camping gear, backpacks, gloves and accessories for myself and my family. I’ve always found what I needed when gearing up for treks in the white mountains or vacationing in other countries. It’s truly your old mom and pop store with lots of knowledgeable sales associates. I love Tent City for its brands, products, value, selection and prefer it over REI, EMS, Bob Store..ect.
Jenna Sunshine: LOVE THIS PLACE! Tons of great gear for everything from hiking & camping to fishing and bird watching. They have a little bit of everything! Backpacks of all sizes for hiking or day-to-day, hiking boots, sandals & shoes, sleeping bags & sleeping pads, clothes, outerwear, tents, hammocks, water bottles, camelbacks & water bladders, binoculars, knives, stoves, and all the assorted technical gear you can think of. If you need anything for hiking, backpacking, camping, fishing, etc this is the place to go! Support a small, local independently-owned business instead of Amazon or a large chain store.
lian duan: Very enthusiastic merchants, very cheap prices, very pleasant shopping experience, will definitely come back again.
Alex Schab: Amazing store with great prices.
Erik Eklund: This place always has something you want. It's the best place to find high quality outdoor and camping gear.
Nathan Elchert: I placed an order for sale-priced cold-weather gear on their website, which qualified for free two-day shipping. A week later the package had not arrived. I emailed and received no response. I called and was told that my order had been automatically cancelled due to “a red flag.” (I had received no notification of the cancellation whatever.) I said I still wished to order the items and asked how to go about this. I was told to reorder the items in two orders rather than one, to reduce the total costs and avoid another red flag. I set about doing this but found that the sale pricing was no longer available on three of four items. I called to ask about the pricing and was told that the pricing I had received the first time was wrong due to a pricing glitch on their end, that they would not sell me the items at that price, and that they wouldn’t ship to me anyway, since packages are often stolen in my area. (I guess my area is NYC — they won’t ship to NYC?) This was a frustrating waste of time and I still don’t have the cold-weather gear I need for an upcoming trip.
Calvin Harjono: I don’t think I’ve ever written a Google review but felt a need to do so in this given the absolutely terrible experience at had in this shop. I should first mention that I’m a huge advocate for local businesses but in no way is it acceptable for customers to be yelled at and run out of your store for wanting to try on a jacket. That’s not a business, that’s a sham.I came in to browse around, as I had passed by many times and been attracted to the variety of backpacks. While there I saw they had a jacket I was interested in and I had asked if I could try it on (it apparently was not in the showroom). The gentlemen at the register, who I can only presume as the owner considering that his customer service was absolute in no way someone you would want to hire to run your shop, immediately gave me a keen look of suspicion. To which I tried to dispelled with “it’s okay if you don’t, I just want to try it on to see if it’s right for me.”He abruptly says “SO YOU WANT TO TRY IT ON AND BUY IT SOMEWHERE ELSE?!?” I was stunned. In this awkward position, I gave him the benefit of the doubt and said “it’s okay, don’t want to trouble you, don’t worry about.” I had thought he was joking, but he wasn’t. Moreover, he had the audacity to say “Yeah, I won’t worry about it.” I couldn’t help but feel so uncomfortable I hastily walked out.People looking to shop here, I can only advise that you take my experience for whatever it’s worth. I moved 3 blocks away from this store and had all the intentions of supporting a local business. I am mortified with the experience, perhaps he was having a bad day? I can only guess, but I hope for future customers he surely has less of them.
Michael Meyer: Not much selection and very limited inventory in site. Check their website before visiting site. Think small business not large business like REI or LL Bean. Sales people seem depressed and exhausted.
Greg S: Fantastic little store. A nice selection of knives, camping gear, and general active-people stuff.Staff seemed nice and made good recommendations when I asked about shoes. Prices are reasonable. I’ll definitely be going back.
Gani Ecoresort: Baik pelayanan nya. Barang banyak berbagai merek besar. Lengkap lah
Mr Shannon Joslin: Great store great service better than 4.5
A. F.: Wide selection of gear with budget level up to Arc’teryx. Love that they stock Mystery Ranch packs.

REI: what do users think?
Gabriella Zoia: DO NOT GET YOUR SKIS TUNED HERE. Did a horrible job and left deep gashes after hand scraping them. Take your business elsewhere. When I came back to report it I was told that I was essentially making it up and that the other shop that checked them out was just trying to sell us a new pair of skis. We were given 100 gift card at REI… small consolation when they’ve ruined a 1200 pair of skis. I’ve never been treated so poorly by retail staff.
Kira Clingen: This place needs more staff and better training, especially in their bike department. Came in with a flat tire - they replaced it, it went flat the next day. Went back, they replaced it again, it went flat. Took it to another bike shop - there was a massive shard of glass in the rim that they didn’t find either time. Out $30 and multiple hours.
Elisabeth Graham: The staff at REI Cambridge is so helpful and kind. I ordered the wrong shoes and they assisted with an easy exchange, communicating what they had in stock and what they didn’t. I’m so grateful to have this neighborhood store close by.
Steven Zelek: Service is good, but please be aware that this store mostly stocks: clothing, bike gear, climbing gear, and a small selection of accessories. It's a small store - so just have the right expectation.
Samantha Kanach: Love this REI! The people who work are so wonderful. I had to bring my bike in for maintenance and Nicoletta was so attentive and friendly and got my bike in tip top shape in no time. This REI is right next to some great local coffee shops and breweries so you really can’t go wrong here
Nancy Ramsdell: Always top quality and helpful personnel.
ambassador smudge: nice place to get some gear.Since 1938, we have been your local outdoor co-op, working to help you experience the transformational power of nature. We bring you top-quality gear and apparel, expert advice, rental equipment, inspiring stories of life outside and outdoor experiences to enjoy alone or share with your friends and family. And because we have no shareholders, with every purchase you make with REI, you are choosing to steward the outdoors, support sustainable business and help the fight for life outside.
Sam Berry: Had a great experience buying climbing shoes and a harness here. Not a huge location so might not have the selection of some larger stores but everyone was super friendly and it had what I was looking for
Lisa: Small store but very pretty inside, like a boutique. But they signed me up for a membership without asking! They were not super knowledgeable.
Emily Heckel: This is a (beautifully designed) T-shirt and water bottle store. I wouldn't really call it an REI. Came in looking for liner gloves and trekking pole baskets and they don't stock either. In fact, they barely stock any gear at all, and this is on purpose. They do have a few cycling items I think, and a comically tiny climbing section that I have to assume is only there for aesthetic purposes. The target demographic seems to exclusively be cyclists and people who wear overpriced Patagonia to brunch. The staff were super nice and they were knowledgeable about the items I was looking for (just didn't have them). They seemed quite used to responding to customers' confusion about the store. I think they should rename the store, or make it more clear online that this isn't a true REI as most of us know it. Overall, it felt a bit like being in a gallery - they display (limited) gear in an attractive way, but they intentionally don't stock it. Seems very focused on the aesthetic over the practical, which clashes with the brand concept. I can't think of a reason why someone would go to this store on purpose. I ended up driving to Reading and finding everything I needed, and I guess I'll be doing that moving forward. It's unfortunate, I live in Cambridge and I would shop here all the time if it was a real store and not a display window.
Mike Alexandersen: Google shows this as "camping store", but when i went in there, they said "this location doesn't have a camping department; were actually the smallest store in the coop." Sigh, pointless.
Amit Bergman: Nice and knowledgeable employees
Jeffrey Alperovich: This is not your typical REI! It’s a solid REI shop and had some great sale items, but the selection of everything is limited just due to the nature of the store size/location. Still recommend REI to all just set expectations accordingly! Staff were friendly and helpful as always
Christian Torres: Excelente servicio. La atención fue bastante buena. La chica que me atendió, me dio una buena asesoría. Lo recomiendo mucho.
Carrie Cole: Fantastic store! Beautiful, big, nice layout, very friendly and helpful staff. That area is really changing and that's a great addition.
Edson Lacerda (Ed): Customer service at this store in Cambridge MA,is TERRIBLE, I waited forever for someone, figured out on my own, went fitting 2 climbing helmets, then finally a guy came asking “did you take the tag out” harshly almost accusing me of doing it so, and just left. So did I 😞Very first time I’ve been treated so bad at REI store, this is the first and last time I come to this one!Meanwhile Framingham, which is my actual main store is AWESOME,It’s totally the opposite, doesn’t even look like it’s the same chain ☹️
Diot Sébastien: The store was good and the staff was helpful.However this store does not stock most of REI's merchandise and it's painfull to search on the website if they have my size for each shoes.I wanted to buy a very common pair of climbing shoes but I have to try differents size, they don't have any stock in 150 miles around ... My only way to go through is to order each shoes that I want to try : 199$ each ! (which is already very expansive).Big no for me.
Petal Niles: Had trouble with a gift card and staff was incredibly kind and patient in finding a solution! They also offered good advice on winter coats and had a small but nice selection of items on the floor
Swabarna Mukherjee: Customer Service. Love them. Went there to exchange an Arcteryx Shell which I bought last year but it was one size bigger than I wanted and have been thinking of getting one size smaller.Procrastinating for months, yeah I know, I finally made the trip only to find out it was just 3 days that 1 year passed. Damn I was sad however the manager honored it. They are excellent. Walked me through the steps and did whatever neededand they helped me put in an order.The site is new and parking is tough however the area is undergoing construction. Hoping to seethe area complete with all the construction done. Newer location nearer to my place and well they have a lifelong customer thanks to their excellent service.
Nicholas Manning: Does NOT stock camping gear, which REI is known for.
Richard Salmonsen: Really great staff! If they do not have what you need in stock they very nicely order it for you

Fjällräven Cambridge: what do users think?
Avi Heschel-Aronson: Manager at this location discriminates against (fires) staff for any involvement in mental health programs, despite good standing as employees. Referring to a friend of mine. Thought you all should; not at all acceptable.
RoadTrip NewEngland: Great selection of backpacks and outdoor gear in Harvard Square.
Miles Houston: Good pants. The women size fits well on men.
Paula M: Great service! I appreciate the time that the staff took to help me find the perfect bag. They had patience and great info and I am thrilled with my bag.
Michael Hoaglund: This store is completely unprofessional. During their business hours, the store was locked with a “Be right back! Thank you” sign. A woman and myself waited outside the store for 45+ minutes. I am utterly surprised that a business can be left unattended and have their customers wait outside during their hours of operation. Very frustrating to say the least.
Tonya Hamilton: Great staff! Thanks for all your help in picking out my Kanken.
endre bee: Lovely staff! Very one-on-one oriented compared to the traditional retail experience. The bag I bought is also my new favorite.
Thomas Bishop: I purchased a $200 dollar jacket from this store the first week of July. A simple rain jacket. I realized after purchasing that a button on the bottom was missing a week later (I wore it once). I took it back to the store and the people were nice and they said the button would be fixed free of charge in a place they send it to nearby. It was a button, just needed the part put on, no stitching. It’s been nearly 6 weeks and I finally called them and they said “oh we must have forgotten,” then said “oh it shipped yesterday,” mind you I literally got the shipping notification after calling and having them call their person who was supposed to send it. It’s $200 dollar rain jacket worn once. They could have replaced the jacket and had this one fixed and it would have been the same. I may be an anomaly because they seem nice but this wasn’t a good experience.
T Self: This is a clothing store-period. No gear-zero.
L G: Although I didn't have the heart to buy anything this time around my trip to this store was great. Staff seemed knowledge and was super friendly. I did try something on for future considerations and was impressed with the quality and fit. I was also told that the item I tried on was going into quarantine! ...poor slacks haha. Anyway - highly recommend this place if staying warm in style is your aim.
Dustin Hecker: Great customer service at this small, but well stocked outpost. The coats seem to be high-quality although at full price you pay a significant amount. We were exchanging a coat purchased on line. It has to be handled as a new purchase of the replacement coat and thenMailing in the old coat as a separate return. The store representative walked us through the process and gave us a substitute mailing label. Very efficient.
Ram Charan Khalsa: Guys, the people at this store are awesome. They helped me find awesome boots and really went above and beyond to help me.
Chris Whaley: Great stuff with very friendly staff.
sara B: Produtos ótimos, em fim de estação tem promoções nas roupas, as mochilas geralmente não têm desconto.
Kayla: Came here to get my daughter a bag and it was a great experience. I didn’t know anything about the brand and the staff explained everything to us. The best part is that the bags have warranty’s. We went back to the store a few days ago and got my 4 year old and myself a bag. I love my bag the colors are amazing.There is on street parking with meters.The store has a really cool display wall with bags.Staff are knowledgeable and very friendly!Will be going back to get my nieces some bags next week.
Josh Zotter: Excellent service, friendly staff, quality clothing.
George Touloumes: This is such a nice store! I love the aesthetic of both the decor and the clothing. It's got a cozy/outdoorsy/mountaineering feel to it.Have been here a couple times and the staff was extremely friendly and helpful. They really know their products and don't push you to purchase anything. Much appreciated!The gear is quality, but pricey. Suggestion is to wait for a sale like Black Friday to get a solid discount and save yourself up to a couple hundred bucks.
Jose Estrada: Very good brand
Eileen Sanzonetti: Good
YUXI ZHANG: Very friendly and helpful staff. But the store is small and sometimes they don't have the color/size I want.
Molly Curling: Cute but expensive

Patagonia: what do users think?
Lily Harris: The staff were super friendly and helpful in finding what I was looking for
Jiyun Moon: Excellent customer service!
Tim Knight: Very happy, helpful and kind staff. Thank you.
G F: Staff is super friendly and helpful. I needed to have my jeans repaired/replaced. I was shown my options and was able to get a new pair. Customer service was amazing!
Matthew Gregg: Did not have what I was looking for in men shorts but the staff was helpful with cold weather tips. Enjoy the summer everyone ☀️
Lanna Krik: Coworkers were very lovely and very helpful
Leah Klein: Great location for patagonia Store. Fabulous quality outdoorsy clothes, gear and books.
Dee T.: The staff and level of customer service cannot be compared with other retail stores. My son received a jacket over the holidays - something happend and the stiching started coming undone. I brought it into the store for repair - in the past I was told they do some instore - it's possible it was a pre-Covid thing? The staff member insisted on replacing the jacket because their repairs are about 15 weeks out - She located one in Montana, took our old jacket and have a new one coming 2 business days later. Incredible service! We always buy Patagonia, and this is why!
Thomas Ulmer: Incredibly nice and competent service
Peter: As always. Great brand, very expensive, very good quality, and very good service. It's a big store with lots of selection.
Dave Ekrem: How can you not love Patagonia? It's pretty cool that they're offering recycled clothing now (I guess that's called used clothing, too). Anyway, I brought a nano puff hoodie in for repair last week, thinking it would be the usual rigmarole where I'd drop it off and leave it with them for 6 weeks. I was kind of bummed about that because the summer backpack was coming up and it's my favorite layer for warmth. They fixed the zipper in the store while I waited! I did not anticipate that and it was really great.
Caroline Butler-Rahman: Excellent staff, selection, and customer service! The staff is extremely friendly and knowledgeable. Cannot recommend more!!
Jo McCarthy: The staff here always go the extra mile to make me feel welcome. Excellent management. Clean store with organized covid protocol.
Bill Prindle: I really love Patagonia products and their policies. But I drove to the Cambridge, MA store today and wasn’t allowed in. Curbside pick-up only. How can I buy a pair of gloves - or anything else - without trying them on? I appreciate we are in a crisis, but this is an idiotic way to conduct business. UPDATE: Patagonia allows in-store shopping by appointment. Better policy.
Gary Shea: During walk-in shopping, I was helped thoroughly with great attention
Kimberly Rowan: The staff are so nice and helpful here!
Ben Gross: I cannot speak highly enough of this store and the Patagonia product. The clothes and other items for sale are of extremely good quality, and the staff are incredibly knowledgeable and helpful. The employees and the brand stand 100 percent behind the products they sell, and - from my experience - you can rest assured you will get satisfaction and value from whatever you purchase. I had a wonderful experience at this store and I will now be a Patagonia customer for life. I highly recommend the product and the store!
Jason Hire: Awesome new store. Though they do not carry everything employees are super helpful and very knowledgeable.
fishlikey “Salty discussed” oio: Lifetime warranty is marketing trap when you are treated like a crook if you try to swap a jacket under warranty.
John Le: I was pretty disappointed that this Patagonia store wouldn't honor the iron clad guarantee. Patagonia online happily accepted my merchandise back.This store has a lot of merchandise with plenty of sizes and colors. I wouldn't hesitate to buy something new here, but I wouldn't rely on this store to honor the iron clad guarantee or warranty.
Kim Houghton: Fab service and staff!

REI: what do users think?
Adam Barney: Great store. Wonderful staff and products and being a coop makes it even more special.They also will validate parking 😎
V M: Really love REI in general. And I’m happy one is here in Fenway. The workers at this location are very helpful and friendly. I shop here maybe twice a month.My only critique is I wish they had more products in store. Given the in-store inventory, I find myself buying online a lot. That means I am guessing a size, which is not ideal.
Stephen Craft: Awesome store, especially the bike shop
Traveler: There are better urban REIs.2023: Parking now $10. Don't order here for pickup.From 2019:Online order pickup is frustrating as you have to pay for parking, even just to pick up an item. There is not short term parking whatsoever. Validated parking is $5 up to an hour, $8 up to 2 hours.Be warned, the garage clearance is quite low.
Marc Shafer: I have been looking for a specific pair of Burton Infinium Oven Gloves, and I had taken to calling Burton stores around America. The folks at the Boston store knew exactly what I wanted and knew they had one pair in stock. They took my order and shipped my gloves that day. Fabulous customer service...I am so appreciative.
Becky Lynch: I was looking for new boots and the staff was very friendly. They asked if I needed help and had good recommendations. Staff at register was nice too. Definitely take the T or walk. There is no parking.
Sofia Theodorou: Worse place ever do not even think to biy anything from them. They will try to sell you a membership and say they give you bonus card but they will miss to say it expires. They have zero customer service. I paid 90$ for shoes that would cost 50$ and did not even have money for this expense. I explained my concerns to the workers but she still managed to extract me 90$. Unethical pieces of animals.
Roosevelt Jefferson II: The staff was very friendly and helpful. Love coming to this store.
Daniel Harlow: This was a great REI, and the people who work there do a great job, but the parking lot was closed for construction and the streets nearby are always full so it is now essentially impossible to park. This is a pity, as we now have to go to a different location.
James Fiala: Love REI
Laura Shanks: I am absolutely disgusted with the management and staff of this store. Several staff members recently petitioned to have a DISABLED MILITARY VETERAN FIRED from this store location because they were UNCOMFORTABLE with his DISABILITY. Rather than supervisors having a conversation with all staff to address the solution they took the easy way out and fired him. This location is currently under investigation by Disability Rights Massachusetts. Please boycott.
Jason Courtemanche: Great selection
Kapil Ashok Hariyani: Best outdoor store with outstanding 👏 customers care store in entire AMERICA CONTINENT
robyn b: Great store but you have to get the building to rid of the parking attendant outside.Had to quickly drop off daughter to get a sensor removed which was left on and he was scary abusive and upsetting.
Rian Dalton: Frequent customer to this REI, due to their consistently great and friendly service!
I-y H: I am really disappointed in this place. their bike shop staff installed my pedals without the m4 pedal pins. Not sure if this is due to lack of professionalism or they divided to keep my pins. really upsetting experience here.......
Brent Lowry: Still giving a five-star rating even though I could not find lightweight waterproof tarps.
Liv Burns: Got the best service today from the bike shop – I'd purchased a gravel bike over a month ago and was having trouble shifting gears due to some finicky cable tension. The guy who worked on my bike with me went above & beyond, and worked super fast to get me back on the road.
Paul G: This site seems smaller than a normal store, though still well stocked.Two stars though since this location is in a building with $10 validated parking. REI could've done better. If you don't mind the parking or can walk there, it's not bad.
Austin Coffin: Great outdoor store in downtown Boston. Awesome selection of hiking, biking, and boating supplies and a huge selection of clothing. Parking is $10 with validation.
Jesse Kennedy: Staff is always so friendly and helpful.

Marathon Sports: what do users think?
John Duffy: Excellent service and very knowledgeable staff. Great place of you're looking for great, comfortable sneakers.
David Sturgis: A good selection of shoes, but more importantly, very helpful staff to explain the options, and help you find exactly what you're looking for.
Elizabeth McFall: Marathon Sports is a great place to get shoes that fit just right.
Joseph Howell: My experience here was one of the best shopping experiences I've ever had! Bella was extremely helpful in finding me a pair of insoles that were perfect for my feet and she was extremely patient while I tried on many different pairs of shoes! Strongly recommend marathon sports!!
Rachel Johnson: I’ve been going to this specific store for my sneakers for about 10 years and they are always great at finding shoes that let me keep going despite having long-term (20 years now) planter fasciitis. Got another great pair yesterday. The staff is absolutely amazing and super knowledgeable and I cannot recommend them highly enough. You also don’t have to be a runner—I am not—but if you want the best sneakers with the most comfort for whatever reason, this is definitely the place to go.
AFAflorecita: Terrible customer service the last couple of times I’ve been. The first time I came was such a great experience, I don’t know what has happened since then.
Jules Frantzen: This store is so nice, all the staff are super helpful and they really work with you to find shoes that fit your foot and your training style, couldn’t be happier with my new running shoes!
Sheel Patel: Marathon Sports is the place to go for anything related to running/walking/healthy feet! As someone who just started running, I was a bit daunted to go at first, but Steve helped me from the moment I stepped in and was incredibly kind. I explained what I was looking for (beginner running shoes), and Steve gave me expert advice after watching me walk and analyzing my feet/pressure points on a very comprehensive machine. He kindly broke down what kind of support I should be looking for in a shoe, and brought out 3 solid shoe options with an additional insole option as well. He answered my questions and showed me other shoes I was curious about, and gave me advice on other running gear as well. It never seemed like he was in a rush and helped me for at least 30 minutes until I walked out with a fairly priced pair of Asics. I look forward to going back and urge anyone who is looking for a pair of athletic shoes, for running or not, to work with the expert Marathon Sports staff.
nanette ciano: This is a "real shoe store" where a real person measures your feet, watches you walk etc! Great service, great sneaks!
Chrissy Raftery: Great store — helpful staff. Julia helped me find the perfect fit. Thanks so much!
Anne Kinzey: Can see why this shoe store is full of customers on a midweek morning. The customer service is outstanding. Lea helped me; she really knows the products and makes great personalized recommendations!
Jim Haynie: Great service from Bella. She was patient and understanding. Bella put me on a machine and told me the way my arches and ankles are for how they lean and also had me walk. Bella recommended 3 shoes and we did comparisons. As she said not all sizes are they way we think they should be much like a dress for a lady as the sizes all fit differently. I ended up with Hoka shoes.
Pat H: You cannot go wrong at Marathon Sports! The staff are top notch and they will find the right shoe and perfect fit even if it is at another location. Manager Will D. knows his stuff and super helpful. Highly recommended!
C M: Went in totally new to running and needing a solid running shoe, but knowing absolutely nothing about what to look for. Staff were patient and super helpful, and after trying on and comparing a few styles I left with a pair that has been serving me super well.
Mollye Malone: I went with the intent to get new running shoes, and was absolutely blown away with their customer service. The sales representative spent 20 minutes with me personally helping me find the perfect shoe. When I also mentioned I was looking for a better sports bra, she spent time explaining what different brands offered and how they were sized. I left with both new shoes and a new bra, both of which had small discounts, and came in under the budget I set for myself. And that evening, had the most successful run wearing my new gear! I will absolutely return again.
Uzair Ali Khalid: Amazing customer service. They went above and beyond and made the experience wonderful for my entire family. Thank you.
Ali Khalid: Nice experienced staff n good service
Kate Hoversten: I’m so glad I stopped in! I was wondering if my shoes were contributing to my recurring shin splints and they put me in a stiff-soled shoe I never would have thought to try but suddenly I can run pain-free again! Very thankful for the experienced staff here.
Derek Jackson: Super helpful staff. They will make sure you get the right shoe.
Jodie Zalk: Thanks, Julia, for going above and beyond! Appreciate the punny & encouraging message that was included with my new running shoes! I had gone to the Melrose store, and Adam told me that Julia from Cambridge had shipped my sneakers to me. Thanks - they came quickly, and made me smile!
Laurie Brunner: My physical therapist suggested I go here to find shoes that would be supportive of my joints. The staff watch your gait and scan your feet with a machine to analyze your foot structure and weight distribution while standing, and then recommend the right type of shoe for your issues. I'm in no way a runner, but you don't have to be in order to benefit from a good quality, supportive shoe.
