“I’m a new runner and heard from a few friends that Runner’s Alley was a great place to go for a pair of shoes. I went in and Mitch quickly started helping and assessing my gait/run. He gave me a couple options (both of which felt great) and was able to leave with a super comfortable pair of new shoes to get going, all within 5-10 minutes. Super knowledgeable, friendly, and helpful. I’ll be back!”
“We stop at this store while we're on our way to Ogunquit and points north, but I sometimes wonder if we visit points north while we're in the area of this store. Great store with a wide range of products. Where else can you buy sports clothing, shoes, a kayak, a tent, binoculars, Yeti products, and chocolate covered peanuts?”
“Just nothing short of an amazing dive shop, huge assortment of scuba equipment with fantastic classes and instructors. Highly professional and knowledgeable - I absolutely recommend them. They are incredible at training divers at all ages. What an awesome experience we've had and we look forward to taking higher level classes with Portsmouth Scuba!”
“This place knows how to run a business!! I had an issue with one of my irons (noticed iron head was starting to come off shaft). I expected to leave it to have it repaired hoping to have it soon enough to get a few more rounds it this season. The guy at the register said let me check with the repair shop and started writing it up. The repair shop guy came up looked at it said I can do that right now. Told guy at register not to bother writing it up. 15 minutes later it was done, no charge, smiles all around. I WILL BE SHOPPING HERE AGAIN!”
“Zach was very helpful and knowledgeable.He listened to my issues and advised me on what shoe would best serve my heel problem. More
People like Zach in retail is needed. Thanks Zach!”
“Insane prices on jackets and gear. Walked out of there and made out like a bandit. It is 100% worth the stop.
The staff is also very nice and helpful.”
“Where do I start well the owner is a great guy and his brother ,shop workers are the best around, great quality gear, clean environment, and great coffee at NOA:)”

1500 Lafayette Rd, Portsmouth“Great place to find relived sports equipment for any sport. Has a wide variety of sporting equipment in different stages of use, and prices vary from very affordable to comparable new priced equipment in store. Recommended highly”
“I have seldom visited this location. During our visit there today we were surprised to have been helped by an employee who was helpful regarding an inquiry we had. We visited several other shoe store locations looking for a certain style shoe, and upon visiting here we didn't see the style. The employee looked to see if they had one online and they didn't. We purchased two pair of different shoes and were glad to have had a flyer received in the mail that was useful at the visit, approximately $20 off our purchase; that was great! The Rockports I am wearing were purchased today and are very comfortable!!”
“I love going to Strive and see my boyfriend Nate debris and my friends and Nate family and my family me and Brooke are going to Nate house on Saturday for a Halloween ??? party”
“Outstanding customer service! Why? I ordered two e-gifts on the site. But I made an error with an email address. Brought it the attention of customer service and was rectified in less than 24 hours!”
“I really like this place, I go every summer and they always have good deals. I always buy shoes here and you can get a great durable pair for around 60 dollars that will last you a year.”
“The staff was super friendly, especially the younger girl with the brown curly hair at the cash register. She was very very nice, and even complimented my nails!”

100 Arthur F Brady Dr A, Portsmouth“Always a pleasure to shop here. I buy almost all my work clothes and personal clothes at this store and do a lot of holiday shopping here. The staff is great! Kevin and Tim are wonderful managers at this location!”
“Loved our experience. I wish I got the name of the young lady who helped us, but she was divine. I came in for one item and they didn't have it, left with $200 dollars worth of other great stuff.You can't go wrong with Life Is Good. I highly recommend the beach bag. LOVE IT... I think it was $34.00 and two doors down a REALLY nice beach bag (equally nice) was $180. I vote Life Is Good every time!Oh, and limited ingredient dog biscuits for my tea cup doggies!”
9AM - 9PM
700 Lafayette Rd Suite 212, Seabrook“Dick’s Sporting Goods has an amazing and huge inventory of every action sport known to man. From socks to soccer, and everything else in between, there is great diversity here. I had a nice chat with the store manager, ‘Eddie’ and a sales person. Right now they are having a good sale going on and I bought a birthday gift for my wife.”
10AM - 7PM
340 US-1 Suite 3, Kittery“Great prices! You may not always find your size in every style but to get a shirt over 50% off is a steal in my opinion. My advice is to not go in looking for anything specific.”
“Great selection of shoes and workout clothing. They always have the gear we need each sports season so we know we can count on leaving with whatever the kids need no matter what the sport. Also love the coupon you get when you return an item - great incentive to stay and shop a bit more!”
10AM - 8PM
50 Fox Run Rd, Newington“I shop here regularly but it is hit and miss. The styles are mostly for a younger crowd and it is considered a 'skate board' shop. Every now and then I find something I cannot live without. The prices are high on most everything though they do have a large discounted area in the back of the store. It is large because mostly things are overpriced when they arrive in the store so a larger number of items are discounted in the back of the store than you would expect. But even some of those prices are too high. There are often shoe styles I would like to buy but they rarely have much in the way of sizes so you will have to shop online if you see something you love. The staff is unfriendly and unhelpful. They rarely greet you as you shop but they have many attendants on duty who just ignore the customers. I often see 4 or 5 cashier/attendants hanging around the registers chit-chatting with each other while they completely ignore their customers. I sense attitude even when I cash out. It is almost embarrassing to shop there. I don't feel welcome. But when I find something I like then I endure the attitude to pay for it.”
“Good selection of sneakers & casual shoes and some dress shoes at reasonable prices. And unlike the on-line platforms, you get to try them on before you buy!”
“Great culture here! Stopped in to grab a dive computer and didn’t want to leave! The owners are helpful and friendly. They offer 1 on 1 instruction that is non-intimidating and very supportive. NAUI certification offered which you can take with you around the world. Dive pool on site and lots of equipment available to rent or buy. They go out every Saturday morning complete with a cookout after!”
