If you're in Boston, you have to stop by City Sports on Boylston Street for a unique shopping experience. They offer everything from equipment to apparel.

City Sports is on par with the best sports stores I have experienced. Staff is helpful, friendly, and unobstrusive, and the prices are reasonable (especially compared with Nike, Puma outlets nearby). I bought shin guards and when I discovered they didn't fit after I discovered they didn't fit - and lost the receipt - they were still willing to exchange the item. Overall everything you could hope for from a retail store.
