I find this store to be small and their selection of petites to be even smaller (which is strange as well because I find most women who live in the area of Irish/English descent are vertically challenged like myself). However, it is the ridiculously snooty staff here that drive me from mere ambivalence to outright scorn for this location. In addition to being bad for business, their pretension is ridiculous given that Loft is not Saks Fifth Avenue as they seem to think. They should be friendly to everyone who walks through their doors out of simple respect. I would spend money here as I am in the area fairly often and parking is easy, but their 'tude prevents me from "deigning" to do so.

I am a huge fan of this particular Loft in the Derby Street Shoppes. The store is rather large…read morewhen compared to the one in Braintree, and I always find that they have more of a selection (especially petites) at this location as well. The staff is very friendly and the store is always well put together. If the sales and clearance racks were a little bigger, I'd give this 5 stars. But alas... Their prices are on par, if not a little cheaper, than Gap and Banana Republic, but if you sign up for emails from the Loft, you'll know when items are on sale as they frequently go to 40% off once per month or so.

I've had good experiences here…read more Occasionally with promotions i can find some club fleece joggers for cheap, scored a celtic green pair for $15 before. Also for sneakers there's always deals to be had the latest for me was 40% off tag price. Scored some Lebron witness 7s for $36. That's a steal, super comfy. The staff took care of everyone in line during checkout even tho it was passed the closing time. There was a return we had to from a bday gift for a family member which we lost the actual receipt for and didn't scan our snkrs / nike + app on purchase. We got credit on a GC and used that toward a pair of sneakers for little sis' bday! Manager is cool, didn't get his name but he always there when we are. Bless and glad nike factory close by!

They like biking, hiking, camping, climbing and etc. they know the lingo, they know their merchandise, and they are always willing to help the customer. Hingham Derby Street Shops... well, parking is plentiful, I do tend to park in the back. Never jammed up back there. If you plan on buying anything, you will want to bring your own bag as the chain is 'bag free'. Prices are very good. Competitive with Amazon.com and better than Cabela's. I used to go to the store in Framingham when I was in metro west, also the store in Reading... I'm not sure if both are still there. Shopping since '96, Co-Op member since '12. No negatives,

They have basically anything you need for outdoors activities. I've usually shopped for hiking gear and camel backs or osprey / rei branded stuff. Also got a pair of hiking boots. I think it's cool REI is a coop brand. Member owned. They have plenty of sales going on, bicycles standard and electronic assisted, survival gear, clothing from all sorts of brands, boots and hiking gear, camping gear, lanterns, knives, paddles, water shoes, and also have deals on traded in gear. Nice experience. Love walking around and looking at stuff i probably don't need but it's a cool tool or utility purposed item.

Bad reviews below are like whoa…read more My husband bought me a coat from here for Xmas one year and I loved it. It's still in AWESOME condition. I've since bought a few things online (another winter coat and a travel jacket). The few times I've been in this location I've always had great customer service from the staff here. Recommendations and tips have always been wonderful. Just recently, I came in here on a whim to get a fall/winter coat. I tried on a bunch, and wasn't happy. I let the sales associate know what I was looking for and she recommended the SnowFurry. I tried it on and I loved how it fit. Even better, there was a 30% sale going on! It was a whimsical sale, but a good sale. The coat is lined with thick fleece and is water resistant. I am also a part of their rewards program - I had signed up ages ago because I knew I'd be buying a lot more items. Each coat that I have are all in great condition, and I was told to bring in anything that I wanted to exchange because of their lifetime guarantee. I heart EB.

I got gloves, which are normally 40$ but after sales where you get $ for trying a down coat and some other discount I got the gloves for around 15$ and they are down gloves. And these gloves lasted a month .... It started ripping at the seams ard 2 weeks and I don't even do anything with my hands! I'm sad that this brand is loved by so many but has been the worst gloves I've ever owned-- I coulda bought nicer gloves at a cheap store that wouldn't rip on me like these did !

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.

Play It Again Sports has a line up of their own parking spots right outside, labeled just for their own customers. Inside there are two counters - one for purchases, and another for selling them your used gear. I was there to have my skates sharpened, so I paused for a bit, then headed on over to the former. They took my name and skates and $6, and sharpened behind a closed door as I waited. I was told about this place by a couple of speedy skaters on recently sharpened hockey skates. Skate sharpening at the rinks, they said, are done by machines that just roll through the skates. At shops like this, it is done manually, and you can test your blades for sharpness by quickly rubbing your nails against it, as a sharp blade will shave off a bit of your nail. As I waited, I meandered the store. I noticed that they sell used tennis balls $1 for 3 (they buy used balls for 10 cents apiece), and the same for golf balls. Skates are out back. They don't string tennis rackets here, but suggested Boston Ski and Tennis in Newton. They call out your name when your skates are ready. Given my relative lack of (good) experience, I inquired how frequently skates ought to be sharpened and was told after every 6-8 hours of heavy use. No wonder they told me my blades were dull after having resisted sharpening for several years since a rather traumatic rink sharpening experience. I also picked up a pair of new bladeguards for $7.99. The other ice skate sharpening recommendations provided by those fellas were: MonkeySports, Norwood Sports Etc, Arlington *** Tried out my skates a week later, and it felt smooth against the ice.
