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.

If Dick's Sporting Goods and Marshalls had a baby, it'd be Bob's Stores. This place has been around…read morefor at least 20 years, surprisingly. Locations: -remaining Bob's Stores seem to be scattered to the four winds. This one in Randolph (and one in Taunton) are closest to the South Shore-- definitely a drive. Merchandise: -clothing and shoes for men, women and children -tends to be athletic-related brands like Nike, Adidas, Marmot, Columbia, Eastern Mountain Sports (EMS). Small amount of non-athletic brands like Calvin Klein, Levis, Carhartt, etc. -some sporting good items like skateboards, pads/helmets, yoga/pilates gear, soccer balls, kickballs, and even a random kayak. Definitely not the selection/variety of larger box stores, when it comes to sporting goods, but a fair cross-section. Service/Checkout: -despite visiting the weekend after Thanksgiving (when stores are usually mobbed), Bob's was pleasantly busy. There was very little wait time for checkout, and they had 3 registers open. -both cashiers we interacted with were pleasant and helpful, inputting the 30% off coupon listed on their website (but strangely, missing a barcode to scan). Price: -with all the sales going on this past weekend, Bob's was definitely competitive with other big-box stores. Most everything had a 25% off sale on it, some even higher (my jacket was listed as 50% off). Problem is, with all the signs, it's difficult for the consumer to determine what the final price will ACTUALLY be. -coupons available online and in flyers. Be sure to check online, as they do allow you to double up on coupons and sales. Example: my $100 EMS jacket was on sale for 50% off, then there was a coupon for 30% off any one clothing item. Note, the 30% off comes off of the discounted price (i.e., 30% off of $50). So, I was able to get an awesome EMS jacket originally priced at $100 for $34. Winning. If I'm on the hunt for athletic wear that doesn't scream soccer mom, I'd definitely choose Bob's Stores. They have tons of clothing I'd wear from brands I know and trust, and are at the very least competitive with other big-box stores. Worth the trip, in my opinion.

I had the worst experience with one of the employees her posting my information on social media when I contacted the store and spoked to the district manager victor about he said he will take care of it but to be honest I don't think so they do whatever they want .

Here is an overview of my experience and why I found the staff to be helpful. I wanted to make a shoe purchase for my 4 year old. I was planning on getting her a pair of Huaraches by Nike. The female staff member explained to me why the shoe may not be the best choice due to their design which has a rubber type material that surrounds the shoe. She explained how the shoe can be difficult for children to put on. Everything she said and demonstrated made sense and she showed me Roshe One by Nike that are similar to the Huaraches but easier for a young child to put on by themselves. I should also note that there was a $10+ difference that benefitted my pocket. Overall, I will return to this store based on the excellent customer service, variety and prices.

I have stopped here on only two occasions and had bad-moderately well service depending on the experience. Either way, with the new renovation, and the seemingly new set of staff, I'm confident that three stars suits this store well. While not the newest, this store was renovated recently and is sometimes a goldmine for a specific (and popular) sneaker or shoe, due to their location in the deserted Westgate Mall. On both occasions I have made special trips into this mall just to come here and just a particular pair of shoes they had in stock in my size that none of the other Famous Footwear locations had. Around the summertime they normally have sandals, and if you shop smart, they nearly always have coupons available to use (and when I called here recently and asked if they would accept a coupon that clearly said on it that it was only eligible at the new Braintree store, they had no issue accepting it here). Manager is friendly and in general staff are as well, and having staff always around to help is a plus. Decent enough store in a low-volume mall. 3 stars.

I have been to this Old Navy location before, years ago. Even though the store is one of the…read more"remodeled", new locations, it's still one of the WORST Old Navy stores. First, being the only Old Navy in the area, as well as an anchor mall store, there should be a separate entrance to the store. Plus, there seemed to be an extreme dirtiness throughout the store. The floor was extremely dirty, bumpy and super old (fix this Old Navy!), and there were clothes all over the floor and placed on random shelves, resulting in barely anything being organized or in the right spot. I was disgusted that no one was working on cleaning the store or helping at checkout. Are they understaffed? There were 7 people in line, with 2 registers open. The store is dirty and there are many other registers. Get more employees to clean and cashier. Geez. I most-likely won't be returning. Too bad this is the only Old Navy in the area. The store in Dedham will be getting my business. 2 stars.
