Two summers ago, I stopped in to try on a number of different shoes and sneakers in preparation for…read morea big trip. I did so, leaving the shoes carefully next to each box. However, after accumulating quite a few boxes, the salesman came by and told me to put everything away. I was taken aback at his tone and manner of speaking to me. After all, I was being careful about my space and fully intended to buy at least two pairs of shoes from the Barn. Then, I moved to a different section and, this time, took out one pair of sneakers at a time, already intimated by my first experience. As I was sitting there, along comes the owner, who looks at me, shakes his finger and says, 'make sure you pick up and put away your shoes'. I was reminded of how it felt to be scolded in elementary school - I was mortified. Terrible service and very very rude salespersons. Why are they even in the business or working with the public? Try to avoid purchasing anything at this store.

My mom and I visited today to get some new sneakers. My mom walks with a cane and was disappointed…read morethat her favorite walking shoes were no longer being made. All was not lost as Sylvia was helping us and offered several different options for my mom to try. She was super helpful, even helping my mom get the shoes on and lacing them up. I can't remember the last time I've seen that level of assistance in a shoe store. She was absolutely fantastic with my mom, answering questions and even showing her a special way of lacing her sneakers to help prevent heel slippage. My mom ended up getting two pairs of shoes that she said were so comfortable, and raved about Sylvia to the woman at the register. I took a star off as I'm a size 11ish and can rarely find shoes that fit me-most shoes only had sizes up to 10 available, but I'm so glad my mom had such a great experience today.

They make every shopping trip more fun and I love coordinating them with my outfits. Anyways, I was walking by this store and noticed a bunch of BAGGU bags in the windows, some cleverly displayed. I stopped in my tracks and went in and grabbed several in cute designs! They even have more selection here than in the RISD store in Providence. So this is the place to come for BAGGU which totally surprised me due to my lukewarm review of this place back in the day.

What an amazingly positive experience. I was happy with the selection and pricing when shopping,…read morebut what was truly amazing was after the purchase. I had bought a suit coat and pants for a wedding. I went to the wedding in the suit and realized upon getting home that I had sat on something that had caught and created rips in the seat of the pants. (Don't ask how I did not know what I had done when I did it, but yes, the wedding party was great FUN.) I took them back to see if they could be fixed. Nothing could be done. Knowing that this was my fault, they gave me another set of the pants. Seriously??? In this day and age??? It is really nice to feel like you are dealing with real people going the extra mile to be kind. Thank you.

The staff is absolutely amazing. I am from 1100 miles away and just had another retailer tell me…read morethat they could not get me the pants I needed for the groomsmen in my wedding. In searching for someone who sold Tommy Hilfiger suits and could help, Milton's came up as one of the results. Taking a chance, I called the Chestnut Hill location and talked to Joe, who was filling in at the location. Let me tell you, for someone who is in full panic mode to talk to someone as knowledgeable, calm and willing to help was a God send. Joe took the time to listen to what I needed. He helped me with finding something that would work for the groomsmen and went above and beyond to make getting them shipped to me easy. I also spoke with Tim, who was friendly, knowledgeable and a tremendous help. Today, retailers of any size seem to be so focused on the amount of the sale to increase profit, they forget about what the customer actual needs. Milton's is not like that in my experience. They helped a guy from over 1100 miles away that is only going to spend $300 dollars like he was the most important customer. Thank you Joe and Tim, I appreciate more than you.

What a cute little Nike Store. So this is a really smaller Nike Outlet store than I'm used to, so…read morethe sneaker selection is very limited, but it's still worth it. I saw tons of people coming out with bags when I was in the shopping plaza it's located in so I ended up going inside. Which I didn't see anything I liked for myself, I did get something for my partner. They appeared to have a better men's selection of sneakers and clothes at pretty good prices. Nice store layout, helpful employees and very friendly. But it's not much here you wouldn't be in here looking too long. Plus the clearance section sizes are all over the place that did drive me a little crazy. But overall good experience if you're in the area give it a go!

Came here when they supposedly opened at 10 and watched through the window as the staff were chatting and having a great time. Apparently, only one of them carries the keys to the front door at any given time so even if there are customers waiting to be let in, well, too bad. When the guy with the key finally looked up and saw me, he opened the door to let me in and promptly went to go chat with some other dudes in the parking lot. There's an entrance on the front side and a poor woman stood there in the rain for a good ten minutes as five (!!) employees milled around, shrugged, and stared back at her. Everyone working here seems way more interested in lounging around and gossiping/making snide comments. I left as quickly as I could.

Today, I got to spend some time at Arsenal Yards Watertown, & stumbled upon this Marshalls!…read moreI love Marshalls & all of the TJX Companies stores. Can always count on their stores for great finds, for amazing prices. I was not hunting anything in particular today BUT I was met with a great find when I was waiting in the checkout line-- a DryBar Beach Bender Waver, for $56! When I looked the hair tool up on Google, it still showed as full price at other stores, so of course I HAD TO GET IT. I was so excited to use it, it was the first thing I did when I got home. Works perfectly & gives the most beautiful waves. Anyways, back to actually reviewing the store. You never know what you're gonna find at Marshall's. There's an endless amount of great finds to be found here... seriously. Highly recommend! Parking: Parking garages are free to park at Arsenal Yards! ;)
