John was fantastic, he made extra efforts to find my just expired account and found out exactly what my last purchase was so I could get the exact same shoe and size. He also got me a great price and answered my numerous questions with helpful answers.I called earlier in the week and was told my account was closed and there was no record of what I bought before. So I was very impressed with John finding the info (and discount) that he did! Because of him I will be going back to Road Runner and will make sure to get John!And I loved the shoes - Brooks.

Welcomed by a knowledgeable guy who understand what kind of shoe i want. Helped in doing custom insoles and finding me the right shoe for long running. If u are in market for good running shoe, definitely worth buying from them

Ive been coming here for YEARS! After not being back for awhile, Matias greeted my boyfriend and me with open Road Runner arms per usual. Wed been striking out everywhere else and we left him with two pairs of shoes and eyes set on many more for near future purchases 😉! Thank you all. So good to be back 💜

Had a new pair of shoes that I purchased a couple of weeks ago. After wearing them, they just didn’t feel right. So I went back to the store and we decided a 1/2 size would be a better fit. It was an easy process even though I had worn the shoes before. I’m now a member. Keep up the great customer service.

This was our first time visiting the store, and we had a great experience. Angel was really helpful and knowledgeable. He was friendly and patient, and he took the time to help us find the perfect running shoes. We will definitely be returning!

Best customer service. Road Runner Sports is always my go-to for my family’s running shoes, but my recent experience was fantastic. I went in for 1 pair of custom insoles, and ended up walking out with 2. And a new pair of sneakers!I took my son in for new custom insoles and Angel, specifically, went above and beyond, taking the time to find out what my son needed, educate me on his foot scan results, and walk me through the different custom insole options. His customer service was so spot on that I decided to ask him for help with new running shoes for me. He was knowledgeable and helpful; explaining the distinctions between different sneakers and made a recommendation based on my needs.It was a great experience!

My wife and I stopped in for a pair of new running shoes each. We were greeted by a very friendly gentleman that did an analysis of our arches and then molded the insoles via the super high tech machinery.Ultimately we were handed off to Angel for shoe selection. The two gentlemen referred us each to a couple of different pairs of shoes. We were not convinced these were the shoes we wanted so we each tried on a few other pairs.In the end, I walked out in the original pair suggested by the Roadrunner team (and also another pair). My wife also left happy with a new pair; a brand she’d never bought before.New shoes are great, but when they’re the right shoes for your feet- it makes a huge difference.What a great experience. Thanks to the staff for their customer service, kindness and patience!We’ll be back for sure!

The service was great. I bought hiking boots and realized that within a short time of wearing them, I needed a larger size. The transaction went smoothly.

I got there right after they opened for the day and It was busy. Angel was the person who worked with me. He set my expectations because he was helping a lot of customers at once. Each time he checked in or got me help he was clear about next steps and when he would be back. He followed up, never forgot about me, and was patient. I got fitted for inserts and got a pair of sneakers that work for me. It was a good solid experience.Wish they had more clothing and Altra shoe options.

Got lots of pets. My monkey owners bought paw pad covers so they can take me on more walks. Floor was slippery but cool on paws. Overall a good time.

Review №11

The staff seems pretty knowledgeable. It’s a great store if you’re serious about running and that perfect fit. They typically scan your feet and walk which is fine but it just seems like a process that is quickly pushed through. They also push a lot of “extra” stuff on you including memberships etc…

I ♥️ Road Runner Sports. A big shout out and Thank You to Cole. Customer Service is everything and Road Runner Sports has it all. Aside from their large selection of shoes, I highly recommend them for their knowledge and ability to identify the appropriate shoe for your running needs.

Review №13

Wow this was the most amazing shoe experience I’ve ever had. They had every shoe in store to try on that I was curious about (besides the Nike Ultraboost 19!) and amazing technology in store to find out more more about your feet! I discovered I was a size larger than what i’vebeen wearing for years. John was amazing help, friendly and guided me to find exactly what me and my feet needed. He is a plethora of knowledge! I ended up buying the Adidas Solar boost but my next pair will be the Brooks Hyperion Tempo. Highly recommend this location and Road Runner Sports overall!

Pros: good shoe variety and somewhat knowledgeable salespeople.Cons: very confusing “membership” model, points, pricing, cash back, trial membership. Plus I came home and the same shoes I bought in the store were $20 cheaper on roadrunner’s own website. Why?!

Review №21

I have been to Road Runners several times. Every time I am so impressed with the knowledge of the staff. They really understand how feet work in athletic settings - particularly running. The patient staff has helped me try on countless shoes to get just the right fit. I think the experience of being in store and trying on running shoes is the BEST way to go.

Review №26

Absolutely love going to this store. They are helpful whether you’re buying something or not. They consult you on your gate, have excellent digital tools to evaluate your feet/stance, and educate you on differing shoe types which are best for your unique feet. I have never had a bad experience and always walk away feeling like I learned something new. Everyone is super kind and they are quite accommodating (always running back and forth to flex as you try things on). I can’t think of a lot of businesses which give you the level of service that they do.

Joel was very efficient, helpful and precise with his recommendations. He took my 3D scan and walk video and had the results up in minutes. I was blown away with the process. Every runner (especially beginners) should give this store a try.We bought running shoes with custom insoles and women’s apparel. The clothing quality and options felt better than any other retail stores. Loved the buying experience!

15 minutes to get the right pair of shoes. I explained to Cole the type of shoe I was looking for, he asked some questions, and used the analysis tools for running and insoles. He picked 3 shoes and the first one was the right one. Having knowledgeable staff makes the shopping experience an efficient and enjoyable one. I will come back for my next pair.

The process from start to finish in receiving my shoes was the easiest! I ordered my Brooks online at Road Runner, got an immediate response that the store would get back to me when open, received the response that the order was ready, drove to store, called them when outside, and the salesperson brought them to my car immediately. What better service could one ask for?!!Thanks for making the purchase so easy and contactless! Road Runner really has the best selection and customer service!

I am so happy with my new pair of Hoka One One shoes. Extremely comfortable shoes especially with the insoles from Road Runner Sports. Kwazar took me through the shoe measurement process every step of the way. He explained each step: find your shoe preference, find your shoes size, whats your arch like. Couldnt be happier with the new shoes, already feel the difference.

I came in almost at closing time on 3/6. Chris, the lead helped me. I purchased a pair of gray Hoka Bondi 7’s in October 2020. I never once wore them. Then came a new color of that shoe that I really liked. Chris had to look up my purchase because I lost my receipt and found that I had purchased the shoes in October 2020, which was way over the 90 day limit to return or exchange. Chris told me that he would have to consult the manager to see if he would make an exception. A couple of minutes later Chris came back and told me that “since you are a member we will make an exception in your case. Go ahead and talk to one of the associates and he’ll help you get the replacement shoe”. Although it was store policy to not exchange or return after 90 days I appreciate their going the extra mile & going out of their way to do it. THIS folks is customer service! This is why I will keep coming back to this store even though I live across the bay. Thank you!
