In Short – This Boston-based sporting goods chain carries a selection of gym wear, backpacks and accessories, but sneakers are the main draw. The diverse selection of active footwear ranges from the latest New Balance all-terrain cross-trainers to trendy casual styles even the hippest downtown scenester would covet. Also find basketballs, baseballs and mitts, in-line skates, foosball tables, Frisbees and everything in between.

City Sports Boylston

by SuperUber , Citysearch Contributor at Citysearch

I sort of work for a competitor (when it comes to shoes) and I was never a sporty person so I didn't have much occasion to come to a place like City Sports. Then my company signed up to do the Corporate Challenge race.

I wasn't a runner and the first year that we participated that showed but year two lead me to the discovery that this location had a run club to prepare people for the race. Frankly it's been downhill from there. :)

We're coming up on year three of our participation with this race and in the meantime we attend most of the Tuesday night run clubs and they are amazing. Alecia not only has awesome hair but makes sure we all have a great time and that no one is left behind.

That long rambly bit was all to give a wee bit of insite in to what kind of place City Sports is. They have a great staff to guide you through the giant mass of sporting goods they have and will help you find the right product for your every sporty need. If you find yourself in need of something for sporting you should head on over.

  • Pros: Run club, great staff, wide selection
  • Cons: A little pricey
