Usually here for sneakers and they always have selection, promos, and the staff that work this section grabs the kicks fairly quick. We had waited for 3 diff staff members at the Boston one who said they were grabbing the sneakers and never came back or spoke to us again. Kudos to the staff today when we rolled thru. They have plenty of gear for all sports. You can do online buy with instore pickup. We needed a present for family bday and snagged a pair of Hokas, also ordered a pair online because they didn't have the size and color we wanted in store.

Here, they also have hockey equipment, lacrosse, basketball, fishing rods, athletic shoes, water bottles (YETI, Stanley, Owala), etc. Great selection offered here. Highly recommend! ;)

Neill: Hi, I have always owned and ran in (insert shoe) but have heard that the new (insert shoe) is out and is getting great reviews. SEAC: We don't carry that shoe Neill: Oh, well...I'm past my due on new shoes and was looking for a change. SEAC: We won't get that shoe for months. *end of conversation* (this would have been a great time to talk with me about what I like in a running shoe and help me understand that one of your models would be a great change!) Neill: Hi, what do you guys have for running hats/sweatbands? SEAC: We don't carry any. Neill: Nothing? SEAC: What do you need one for...? Neill: To keep the sweat from running down my forehead and burning my eyesight out that would send me running into traffic. SEAC: Yea, we don't carry anything. (Really...maybe I could wrap one of your numerous 'SEAC' T-shirts around my head, there were plenty of them) This would have been a great time to explore options such as; taking down my email and putting me on an update list when new products arrive or even going so far as to order a couple items in for me? I'm not sure what your business model is...but without more focus on service you are not going to win my loyalty. You can have pretty windows and a nice logo, but I can't imagine that pushing me over to city sports can be very good for your bottom line. I like to run and I like to do business in my neighborhood. Even though I love the idea of this business I can not give over two stars until they mature a little in their 'retail senses'.

At this point, my shoes were hurting my performance more than if I were to run barefoot, so it was high time I got some new running shoes. Went in to the store and was immediately assisted by an amiable employee who walked me through a gait test and brought up three pairs of shoes for me to try. Used their test socks (yes, they have test socks!) that match the ones they sell in the store so you can try them on with your shoes. Got useful feedback and recommendations for other brands of shoes that would be a good fit if I wanted to run longer distances. All in all, I left the store with some new socks (Balega silver), a foot roller (Nano X), and a brand new pair of shoes (ASIC Gel-DS Trainer 24) for under $200. Money well spent, and will definitely go back when these shoes are dead!
