Being a member comes with good deals - definitely worth signing up. The real gems here are the specialty employees though. Many of the sections have an expert wandering around ready to help answer incredibly specific questions and give recommendations. One such expert was named Clay I believe working in the boot section. He spent a long time with my husband showing him how to size boots differently than shoes, having him test it out on practice terrain, and picking the best fit for activity and price. These are the best fitting boots he's ever had!

I wouldn't recommend this particular location. While products are run of the mill and in line with…read moremanufacturers, customer service was abysmal. Upon entering and walking through the store multiple sales associates made eye contact with me & did not engage or ask if I needed assistance. After asking for help, positioning myself in a place where I was easily accessible to any sales person, I watched as each salesperson helped another patron around me. It took persistently initiating a dialogue to gain some semblance of help that was quickly discontinued. As a young person of color, I will not be returning to this REI location, but will bring my business elsewhere. Really a same, I've enjoyed REI in the past but this experience has been discouraging.

Well organized, stupid clean, very presentable with a rock climbing wall available during certain hours earlier in the day. Sorry i didn't take note of the hours. The staff were reorganizing, no one approached me when looking for sneakers but that's quite alright i didn't need help this night. They have plenty of bottle brands, camping gear, sports gear, athleisure brands. Def know who and what they are so will be back for necessities and deals!

OMG! If you're a fan of Dick's Sporting Goods, you MUST visit Public Lands, in Framingham's…read moreShopper's World. This is one of their three locations in the U.S. and is actually owned by DSG. They focus more on outdoor recreation & highly recommend checking them out if you're looking for more stock of these brands: Varley, Patagonia, North Face, Vuori, Free People, Fjallraven, Arc'teryx, Marine Layer, Stanley/Yeti/Owala/Brumate, & more. I found Public Lands to be a more elevated DSG & loved the store...Very nice displays on the floor! They have a lovely selection of women's, men's, and children's. I think very similar to REI too, but better? Haha. Will definitely be back.

Located across from the Natick Mall, it's one of my favorite stores to frequent. You can catch a bunch of sales on popular brands such as Nike, Patagonia, Adidas, etc. Sometimes you can find their shoes on sale; Hoka Bondi 8s are currently on sale by the way ;)) Had a great experience today here. I was looking for an item that the app had said was in stock at this location. A worker assisted us in searching for the size so was looking for. Unfortunately, they didn't have it/couldn't find it but it was nice that they tried. Parking: lots of parking available!

Never had issue here! Love DSG!…read more Ample parking, always a huge store they don't have all the frills of the new one but overall we enjoy this location. They have sneaker selection which we were looking at and trying on, staff was friendly to us and asked us if we needed sizing right away. They have walls Yeti and Stanley tumbler and bottles which is great! A ton of apparel, sports gear and more! Download the app, save 20 off on $100 or more purchase. There are some brand exclusions so read the fine print or ask the cashier to try the coupon anyways!

I asked to exchange smartwool socks in original packaging with original store sku label on there. I wanted a mid height not low ankle but had no receipt.

For the record to staff there Sku's are an inventory control system and point of sale pricing tool and its insulting to be told otherwise. They know if it sold from that store. Inventory is what I do as part of my business.

After having been to five stores looking for hiking boots, I have finally found my pair frustration…read morefree thanks to Britt! He was so helpful and knowledgeable and instead of leaving me to browse cluelessly he brought out pairs he thought would work for my mostly flat feet that were prone to pronation, and I also have a sensitive Achilles' tendon, which made finding mid level hiking boots super difficult to find. He also showed me a way to tie my boots to lock my heels down to make them more comfortable. Nowhere else have I gotten the attention that he offered and I really appreciated it! I never felt rushed even when I went back and forth between two pairs that were just different sizes for about 20 minutes. I will be back here again to pick up more gear for upcoming trips. I just wish the return policy would let you return products that just didn't work for you like REI within a year, but the customer service here trumps far above that and I'd rather take my business here. They have a great selection of women's boots and trekkers which can be difficult to find. Also here is the picture of how he tied the shoes in case anyone is wondering! After you do the knot and loops just continue leaving them like you normally would
