Marathon Sports

"My experience at Marathon Sports for the first time was fantastic, no reason why I wouldn't return. The worker asked me questions that I wasn't expecting to be asked relating to walking."

"I would have given five stars but the selection is oftentimes very thin. The staff is outstanding very knowledgeable and friendly."

"I went to Marathon Sports in Melrose for the first time today. The young woman who waited on me, Emily, was very friendly and knowledgeable. Once I told her what I was looking for, and assessing my feet on the machine they have, she gave me suggestions on what type of sneaker to buy. I was very pleased with the customer service and product I received."

"Excellent service from a young blonde woman in glasses on Sunday. She worked with my husband and he left with just the most comfortable and terrific shoes. He was happy and we were also. Kind and knowledgeable staff. Highly recommend."

"I came to Marathon Sports in Melrose to try and find a good running sneaker plus a sneaker I can wear at work. I work in a hospital which requires a lot of time standing on hard unforgiving floors. Lily was happy to assist me in the process. They had this really cool tool that helps you learn about your feet. You step on this pad and within seconds the screen will display all this information about your feet including what your shoe size should be, your arch, etc. It was really neat! Lily then picked out a few pairs of sneakers for me that she thought would be an excellent fit. She was right! I tried on 3 pairs, and they all felt comfortable and cushioned. Something I never felt before. With her expertise and advice, I ended up with a pair of navy Brooks. They are the most flexible yet form fitting sneaker I have ever worn! I am so happy I came in and was lucky enough to have Lily help guide me in the right direction and narrow down on the perfect pick for me. She was kind, helpful and professional! Excellent customer service and will definitely be back!"
