A
City Sports
City Sports is second only to the Red Sox when it comes to T-shirts spotted around Boston. This local chain was founded in 1983 by ‘a couple of local joes’ who didn’t have anywhere to buy sporting goods. Now City Sports is up and down the East Coast (including five in Boston and Cambridge), selling sports apparel and footwear, with a limited selection of equipment. And with that ubiquitous City Sports T-shirt, they don’t even need to advertise.

Boston Running Co
Note that this is a ‘running company’ not a sports shop. Here, former Olympic athlete and marathon record-holder Mike Roche brings his expertise to average-joe-runner. Using Video Gait Analysis (basically, he films you on the treadmill then replays in slow-mo), Roche will evaluate your stride and determine the best sneaker for you. All footwear and apparel meet his rigorous requirements.

Marathon Sports
A sports store specializing in running gear, this place could not have a better location: it sits on Copley Sq, overlooking the finish line of the Boston Marathon. It’s known for attentive customer service, as staff work hard to make sure you are getting a shoe that fits. Besides the latest styles and technologies, Marathon also carries a line of retro running shoes from bygone days.

Core de Vie
Work that thang in the on-site studio, then reward yourself with a new outfit to show off your fit self (or even better, stock up on gear then put it to work in the studio). The main reason to come to Core de Vie is its excellent, ever-renewing selection of lululemon active wear, but you’ll also find versatile, comfortable clothing that you can wear in your everyday life.

Moda
Boston’s most eco-savvy sun salutations take place right here in the North End. We love the Anjaly line of yoga gear, made only from organic cotton, and Manduka’s travel-light biodegradable yoga mats. Suit up at Moda before heading over to the sister studio, North End Yoga.
