“I have had very flat feet since birth and have always had pain and difficulty walking. To top it off I am diabetic and have resulting neuropathy in my toes. I have used Boston Pedorthic as my main source of shoes and foot support for at least 4 of the last 5 years. They have provided me with an excellent shoe and custom molded inserts of the highest quality. Their products make my feet happier! The staff is very professional and has treated me with great respect. It is a joy to work with them! They have my highest recommendation.”
“Amanda is the best. Had a pickup order ready and found another long sleeve denim shirt that fit perfectly. I needed 1X sleeve length and 2X girth. She knows her stuff.”
“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.”
“You guys always have what i need. I'm a disabled veteran trying to get some exercise and relive his childhood and the guys at the shop are amazing. Always welcoming and willing to take a minute to talk shop. Keep up the amazing work. You guys are the heart of the Boston skate scene.”
“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.”
“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 :)”
“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.”
“Solid selection of leather goods from jackets and boots to belts and wallets. I went in looking for cowboy boots and the staff were both so knowledgeable, helpful, and kind. I highly recommend!”
“I recently bought boots that didn’t fit quite right. I had used them for a couple days hoping they would break in but they didn’t. I was really stressing about what I could do at this point. I went back to the store hoping for some help but wasn’t expecting they could do much for me. The staff was wonderful and very understanding, they provided new boots for me that fit awesome!! Thank you for turning a stressful situation in to a positive experience!!! Red wing, Dedham, is the best!!!.”
“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”
“Chad from was absolutely a star. I brought my daughter’s broken lacrosse stick and from start to finish he gave me the most utmost professional and prompt attention. He ordered a new head from Maryland, which was delivered quickly, restrung it, and followed up with a call to let me know it was ready! And to top it off, he had it FedEx directly to my daughter at college!! this was such a huge help as she’s in midseason and in dire need for her own stick
Just amazing service !!! He’s an asset to your company!!! I can’t recommend Lacrosse Unlimited enough to anyone!!”
“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!”

“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.”

“Reviewing with how they actually dealt with a mistake. I had made several purchases in store, one of which I carried out and the rest was supposed to be shipped. They mistakenly marked several of the items as purchase in store, which meant I didn’t not receive them in person or in the mail. I called them up and the issue was resolved withing five minutes. Excellent customer service!”
“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!”
