Foot Locker

I dont know why this Footlocker’s ratings are so low. Honestly, I feel like the service they provide and the collection they have are one of the best in Boston.
I have been shopping here for more than a year and my experience has been flawless.

PSA: caution! This store is so bad they have to delete the old Unilocal page full of complaints to get more complaints!
Do yourself a favor and go to footaction or city sports down the street like your headed to Walgreens or h&m You’ll see footaction then around the comer is city sports.
Immature, unprofessional, derelict employees. That can’t run a shop. I wonder who hired the manger smh? I called looking for a pair of shoes. When I started talking they were dumb founded like they were in an mathematics class. passing the the phone over to the other like if they were half way retarded. What’s 9 plus 10 = 21p

Very rude. I asked for a pair of converse all-​stars and they were to bring them from the back. While I was waiting, since I also needed a pair of simple walking shoes I asked for inexpensive sneakers. The young worker looked down on me and said with contempt «there is nothing inexpensive here»! In the meantime the shoes from the back were not arriving. The lady at the counter called on the phone a couple of times repeating the order but no one ever came. I waited for 15 minutes and then I lost patience and left. Might be my worst shopping experience ever.

I came here today to buy a pair of running shoes. They have a pretty decent men’s and children’s/toddler’s section but a relatively small women’s section.
They have a very wide variety of shoes — mostly Puma, Aasics, Nikes, Addidas, and some other brands I can’t seem to remember. None of the shoes have their model names or their prices displayed so you have to ask for each shoe.
The workers are courteous but will guard the shoes you are trying so much it will make you feel a little bit uncomfortable. The person helping me literally stayed right next to me the whole time I was trying on the shoes as if she thought I was going to run off with them. Maybe this happens a lot, I don’t know.
Even when I told her I’ll take them, she put both shoes in the box and carried it to the cashier. I honestly can’t tell whether this was done out of precaution or courtesy but it was a little too much for my taste.
On the bright side, the shoes were marked as $ 70 on the box and I was happily surprised to find the actual price to be $ 39.99!
EDIT:
I came back here today after trying on my shoes this morning to find that they were a little tighter than I thought they were. I went back to exchange them for a different size and turns out they gave me a women’s size instead of the men’s. I told them the sizes I want and twice they brought the women’s sizes again (signified by the a symbol of a woman with a dress on the box). By now, its been about 25 minutes of waiting.
When I told them that I need a man’s size not a woman’s, they went to the back to look for the appropriate size and didn’t return for at least 20 minutes only to tell me that they didn’t have my size.
So basically, I wasted an hour. I returned my shoes and left.
The workers here are friendly and you can see that they try their best to help you. Working at a shoe store and not being able to tell the difference between men’s and women’s shoes is a little sad.

Is this store ever open or do they just not like answering the phone? I’d like to ask questions first before I go downtown and have to deal with parking, traffic, etc.

I love sneakers. Sneaks, sneaks, sneaks. Here it goes down, down onto my foot… la la la.
Sure, I can get sneakers anywhere, but not any brand and any style (Nike please). Nope. So, I have an unnecessary amount of sneakers and suuuure I only wear one pair and I may or may not have a pair I bought in 2009 still intact because it’s just that perfect to me that I could have only worn like 18 times but shh I don’t mark the box.
I could be making that up, or I could be telling the truth.
Point is, besides ordering off the Nike website, I like to try on the kick from time to time, see how it feels; check it out. See how my calf looks. Yes. I said that.
So, why go all around after I get out of work wasting that time when I can just hop, skip right over to Foot Locker? Take a nice stroll, weaving in and out of people traffic and hang out with these folks in here.
The staff is really alert to what’s going on; I mean being in DTX you sort of have to be. There is generally someone in the women’s section able to help you super-​fast. I’m in and out of there in like 10 minutes usually, which is nice because I’m not spending my entire lunch there. They don’t have the best selection of women’s sneakers because «there’s a Lady Foot Locker,» for us but there isn’t one close by so here’s what we got. Plus I can try some on, see what I like and always able to order online.
No women’s apparel, a down fall but City Sports is right around the corner.
They didn’t have my size yesterday so they helped me out by having it shipped to my job and I got my new babies today! Hooray!

One of the best experiences I have had in a store in a long time.
The staff was helpful and friendly but not too in your face.
The sales assistant saved me money by recommending cushioning insoles instead of buying a more expensive pair of shoes with cushioning. He was patient and seemed to know about what he was selling. He shook my hand when I left and said to come back in if I was passing by and tell him how the insoles worked out.
Highly recommend
