Marathon Sports

Was here a couple of days ago with my husband who was looking for a fleece neck gator for skiing…read more It's quite a big place with all kinds of recreational and sporting goods. For my shopping "tastes", this store is just too vast and overwhelming. It is a sea of merchandise. Well organized yes but just way too much stuff to take in. Despite all the "stuff" I didn't see bargains of any note...in fact...and this could just be me ...but I was astonished to see Nike women's sweatpants for $110.00. That seems like a lot of dough to lay out for sweatpants. I'd skip the name brand and the Nike logo and look for another deal. Better yet, don't wear sweatpants unless you're in the gym or running outside on a cold day as I am not sure who they are flattering on and I am so over seeing people running around everywhere in ill-fitting sloppy looking gym-wear. But for the gym-goers, and exercisers of all kinds, you will find all manner of clothing and equipment here...a fairly comprehensive seeming selection whatever your sport of choice might be. They also sell, t-shirts, specialized sports' shoes, lots of coolers and water bottles including the in my opinion ridiculous looking and now viral Stanley water bottles that everyone seems to be lugging around...tons of those! (I just read that in California there is a class action suit pending on these Stanley water bottles as the company has acknowledged the sealing material used for its vacuum insulation contains lead). I didn't see many staff throughout the store. The staff I did see seemed to be congregating up front so if I had had a question there would have been no one to ask without traipsing back up to the front where the registers are. And in a store as large as this, that's a pain. There are so many other places to get most of the things sold here but with better service and for me, with a more manageable store footprint and experience. If I'm not going to get a bargain, I'd rather spend my money at a smaller store with attentive service. Tom didn't find the neck gator he was looking for so we left without purchasing anything but for me, I can't imagine why I'd return.

The Asst. Store Manager, Tatiana, was awesome. Professional, knowledgeable, courteous, friendly and…read moreso very smart; she helped me navigate a difficult purchase (expensivwe recumbent bike) with ease. She is a Dick's, Corporate Star in the making.

She hand selects her brands and products, and she seems to have used them all herself, so she can answer all your questions and help you find exactly what you need. Laura also carries a lot of less-common, more-high-end brands that you cannot find elsewhere. I came here for Oofa recovery shoes to nurse my poor plantar fasciitis, as none of the running-shoe stores within a 30-minute drive had my size. But GettiGear was listed as a retailer in the Oofa website, so I decided to check it out. So glad I did. First of all, she had my size in both the clogs and the slides. Secondly, the clogs were in sale. Third, she had both styles of the slides, which the other shoe stores did not. She also had the newest shoe-style Oofas-- and she was wearing them! I love that she test drives all her products for us! But then I noticed all the bright, well-made, beautiful running pants, the yoga pants, the high-quality running tops, the great yoga mats... And the sports bras! She carries my favorite brand, Sport Skirts (yes, they also make bras) -- AND she had them on sale!!! See, now, usually you have to order Sport Skirt products on line, as they only have a few brick-n-mortar stores around the country. I'm so glad I found a retailer where I can try on different Skirt Sport styles (I can already attest to their quality and fit. But of course I can, or Laura wouldn't be selling them In her store!) So I walked away with two pairs of Oofas and a sports bra (because really, you can't have too many). And it was all I could do to resist the fantastic running pants that were also on sale. I'll be back, and I'll be bringing my sisters and running buddies, too. I don't live in Wellesley, but whenever I need more running gear (and I almost always need more running gear), I'll wait until I can get back to Wellesley to buy it at GettiGear.

Okay, so while it's not where I'd generally find myself shoe-shopping on a Saturday morning, I took…read moremy mother to New England Comfort Shoes .to find a pair of comfy shoes for her . First of all, the customer service factor was through the roof. We were the only customers for about 15 minutes. During that time one of the owners (a genuinely charming husband-and wife team) measured her foot, suggested styles she might like and spoke knowledgeably about - what else? comfortable shoes! Once the line of customers started rolling in, he and his wife handled each person with care and courtesy. I was surprised at how many people are out looking for what `are - let's be frank - old lady shoes. I was also surprised at how many times I looked at a style and said, "I'd actually wear that one!" Propet, Asics, New Balance, Aetrex, Drew, Foamtreads - you name it, they have a comfortable shoe for men & women in every size from the narrowest to widest. Dressy, casual, running and walking shoes are all here. Granted, we're talking mostly shades of black, brown or cream but still if your feet are looking to be cushioned, cossetted or float along - go here! They will get down on the floor like shoe people used to do, measure for your exact sze, regardless of what you THINK it is, and find you a pair of shoes to fit perfectly. We spent 90 minutes while Mum tried on pair after pair, walked around the store and debated the merits of brown vs. brown vs cognac vs. brown. They were patient, pleasant and encouraged her to take her time!! Have you been to a retail environment lately where (1) a person wanted to help you, (2) was patient and understanding, (3) didn't leave you to work things out for yourself? The back wall was lined with all the orthotics you could want to make your shoe feel perfect. I fondled the pretty laces longer than I really should have and almost bought a pair of woven fabric oxfords that, in my defense you really have to see to appreciate. I'm not going to be here every week, but we walked out with exactly one pair of shoes that aren't ugly, are casual and sporty-looking, weren't overpriced and are most definitely comfortable. These are professional shoe peeps who know their styles and are willing to go the extra mile to make a customer for life. Go here and feel appreciated!

I was really pleased with the level of care and professionalism that was extended to me during my multiple visits. At one point a gentlemen in a wheelchair was leaving the establishment and the owner quickly broke away from my questions and wheeled that man up the ramp and into his vehicle. Enough said there. Awesome! Worth the trip.

New Balance Factory Store

I took a drive here earlier today with my husband who was in the market for a new pair of…read moresneakers/walking shoes. He can be a tough fit for any and all clothing because at 6'3" tall with a size 13 wide foot, things can be limited in stock. As it is, he has all his dress shirts made for him and he has had suits custom made to ensure an impeccable and comfortable fit. Lucky for him, the particular sneakers he was looking for were not only in stock here in his size but at a lower (factory outlet) price. The customer service was impeccable. A salesman named Hector assisted him and brought out not only the shoe he was looking for but a couple of other examples for Tom to try on and consider. For essentially what is an outlet store, this level of service seemed above and beyond and was greatly appreciated. The store also sells, lots of other New Balance sportswear for both men and women....leggings, sweats, jackets, gym wear, socks and even hats and gloves all under the New Balance label. As this is a "factory store" with lower prices, you cannot always count on finding the exact thing you are looking for and in your size. That said, there seemed to be a huge array of inventory of all kinds. There are some things sold here that are "factory" seconds but those are clearly marked. If not marked as such you can be assured they are first quality. New Balance is a local Massachusetts company so it is nice to give them our business. Many, although not all, New Balance shoes are manufactured in the United States and they employ many New Englanders amongst their 5 manufacturing sites in Massachusetts and Maine. This is a good new story from a good news company trying to do the right thing here in the USA. This store is a bit out of the way for us but I would definitely return. There is another outlet a bit closer to us in Brighton but for us, that means traipsing in and through the city and ending up in a potential parking nightmare. Here, there is plenty of easy and free parking and the store and its layout are large and easy to navigate.
