I have very wide feet and finding shoes can be a nightmare. I have never been given three different amazing options that fit! I received fast service even though there were 5-6 other customers with me. This is why I specifically drive 90 minutes for this store.
Highly recommend, I had a great experience here today! Kimberly helped me out finding my perfect pair of running shoes and she did a wonderful job. She and the other employees I talked to were very helpful, friendly, and knowledgeable about all things running. Kimberly asked me some questions about how often and far I run, my shoe cushion and support preferences, and other info needed to get a good idea of where to steer me. She then looked at my gait on a treadmill. After that my feet were analyzed with a 3D scanning device that made a detailed model of my feet - width, arch, size etc, and how far from the average each metric was. It recommended some shoes based on that. She helped me out as I tried on a whole heap of shoes until I found my perfect fit! Very excited with my shoes and I cant wait to take them out for spin.
This location had a HUGE selection of all different brooks styles. The selection itself within the sizes themselves wasnt good at all. Regardless the prompt service, the customer service, and the efficiency with the help we received still keeps it 5 stars. The shoes i posted are the ADRENALINE 21s. At first i thought they were super plain, until the sun hits them. These BROOKS shoes are the most comfortable shoes ive ever had. They fixed my back within an hour after wearing them.... REALLY!!!
I dont know how much Andrew gets paid, but I do know its not enough. Hes certainly a valuable employee and this comment should be considered when performing his review. He was already helping another customer when I arrived, but I was greeted by (both associates) upon arrival. Andrew took the time to inquire why I was there and got my insols in the oven while he continued with his original customer. While helping that customer through the shoe buying processes, he continued to help me through my order and delegated when the opportunity presented itself. Well done, well done indeed.
This was my first time in Roadrunner. All three employees made time to check in or chat with me. Randall was the person who helped me. He was warm, professional, and quite knowledgeable. It was a fun experience participating in the different feet tests. I ended up with a wonderful pair of Brooks, though the three selections Randall suggested made it hard to choose. I plan on doing all of my tennis shoe shopping here! Thanks again for the awesome and personable service!
This was my first time shopping at Road Runner Sports and I was beyond impressed by the technology and the customer service. Eric took the time to explain everything and I felt lucky to have him as my salesperson. I do appreciate that with their VIP program I have 90 days to test the shoes out and can return them if they aren’t the right shoe for me. I will 100% be shopping at RR sports again. Thanks Eric!
I finally made my mind to invest in a nice pair of running shoes and roadrunner was the ideal choice! I have tried shopping for shoes online and trust me you shouldn’t if you’re serious about what you put on! I was able to try out a few pairs got good suggestion from the rep helping us and also got a insole designed to better support my leg. Definitely going back in future for all my sports apparel. #localisgood #supportlocal
Staff videotaped me walking and then recommended a few pairs of sneakers that all worked for me. The pair I chose was the most comfortable pair I’ve ever owned! The whole process was very quick and I highly recommend this store.
I took my granddaughter into Road Runner Sports to be fitted for running shoes. They were extremely knowledgeable. She is a happy girl today as it was her first morning to use her recommended new shoes with personalized insoles. Thank you Road Runner!!
Fantastic staff, great amenities and products. Unlike most times I’ve gone running shoe shopping, it was fast and easy, and no one tried to relentlessly upsell me on things I didn’t want or need. Great experience all around, and I LOVE my new shoes.
Great customer service, friendly staff. They will let you know about deals and theyre membership but backed off anytime i said i wasnt interested, which i appreciate. Also got new shoes and insoles that were customized according to my foot size, arches, and walk. Very impressive and i did sign up for their membership. Personal shout out to Andrew who helped me get squared away this morning. Great experience
Fantastic experience. Social distancing & sanitizing were all in place. Knowledgable staff had my feet & stride analyzed (for free) and in a great pair of shoes & out the door in a half an hour. I’ll definitely be back!
I had a great experience buying from this store. I got two insoles, a running shoe and a compression sleeve for my shin splints. Thanks Noah.
Was helped by friendly and knowledgeable teammates. Really enjoyed the experience ❤️
Really excellent customer service from Randall. Having experienced runners who make the effort to learn about you and your goals, and then make an educated recommendation, is what makes this store so great.
Just bought some new running shoes for my daughter. The 3D foot scanner and fit process was really cool. The person helping us was good at reviewing the results and recommended several different shoe models to try. We were in and out in less than 30 mins with a great new pair of shoes!
Amazing experience! Irene provided us with excellent service and a strong working knowledge about all kinds of running shoes. I went in thinking I knew what I wanted. After listening to Irene’s explanations and answers to my questions, I moved in a different direction regarding shoes. I am happy with my purchase. In regards to COVID-19 safety precautions, Road Runner Sports got it right! Good monitoring of the number of people in the store and social distancing. Everyone was wearing a mask. Irene followed precautions very closely helping to make our first shopping excursion since “stay at home”, pleasant. Thank you, Irene!
Against our better judgment, our family went to the Greenlake shop instead of the Bellevue store. The customer service in the Greenlake store is terrible. The word terrible is actually being used generously.The young woman who was supposed to be helping our family had zero interest in helping us while other employees simply stood around and talked to each other. Are you kidding me? This isnt the first time, or even the third time. This is the attitude all...the...time!!!!!!!!!!Im constantly surprised by this because Ive been to several other RRS on the west coast and never once had an issue. In this shop, its always the same, terrible...and I mean *terrible, awful, unbelievably bad* customer service.I do not recommend this shop to anyone...ever! Do yourself a favor and go to the Road Runner Sports in Bellevue where youll be treated with respect and courtesy.I would complain to the manager, but the last time we did that, the store manager acted like they couldnt care less. This shop is run atrociously and the people working there are exceptionally pretentious, yet for no good reason. Its not as if they were even that busy.I wont waste time with this pathetic group of people or the shop management. You shouldnt either. Go to one of the other Road Runner Sports stores.
Great service. I was immediately greeted and promptly helped with finding the shoes I was looking for. Great inventory and I am love with the shoes I found in addition to nice socks. My questions were answered knowledgeably and the whole experience was very pleasant.
Didnt have a great first experience came back and eric was super helpful!
Roadrunner Sports was great. I had the full attention of the knowledgeable sales clerk for about an hour. He analyzed my gait and figured out what I needed in a shoe. The store had a very wide selection of shoes in my size. I went home with just the right shoes.
Not sure what has changed but not the same experience I had at the start of the year. Felt like I was being up sold the entire time and ended up just purchasing the shoes up the street.
Best shoe buying experience ever. Great staff. Great customer service. Avery is awesome. If you are having foot pains or any foot related issues due to poor foot ware, this is your go to place. Highly recommended!
Fantastic customer service. Very knowledgeable staff.
Amazing shoe buying experience combined with my custom shoe fitting. Thank you so much for the expert advice, I love my shoes!
Staff were friendly, knowledgeable, and helpful. The store is clean and inviting. Our shopping for shoes, trying on several pairs, and clothes went very smooth. Checking out was a breeze.
Andrew was fantastic, very knowledgeable about the product!Valerie
Knowledgeable and friendly staff. They make sure you have the right fit and you are happy with your shoes, even after you try them for a few miles. Maintaining your order history is also helpful.
Great experience from insoles to new running shoes
I spoke with a very knowledgeable clerk on the phone before I visited the store. When I visited the next day, I was very pleased with the service I received.
Sales help was good. Had the shoe I wanted. Distancing due to COVID-19 was definitely in place, even to having me use their clean socks rather than mine!
The associate was knowledgeable and very helpful. I love their custom inserts and their 3D shoe sizing technology
Always a great experience and this time was no different. I went in this time with a specific foot issue and Muso knew exactly which shoes and insoles I needed, then patiently brought out different styles and sizes until I found the perfect fit. Excellent experience!
Was looking for a suitable shoe for basic gym workouts and the Inov8 shoes I initially was interested in were only available online. I was suggested to try the Nike Metcon, and they are perfect. I as told if I bought the Inov8 shoes online and they didn’t fit I could return them for the correct size. Will definitely be a returning customer.
Great service from knowledgeable staff! Great selection! Will definitely return!
I have been shopping here for over a decade. Always the best service!
Called ahead to ensure that they had what I wanted. When I got there they didnt have it.
Very knowledgeable and supportive of my goals and needs!
Great customer service! Friendly and knowledgeable staff. I’d come back in a heartbeat.
While we did finally receive help and staff member that helped was very apologetic for no one helping us for over 20 minutes. Shame on several staff that walked by us and not one would make eye contact or asked if we needed help. We have been going here for many years this was the worst experience we have had.
Excellent customer service. The staff helped my son select his first pair of running shoes. Highly recommend going to Road Runner Sports to get your gait analyzed. Next visit will be for custom insoles!
I understand there are COVID restrictions, but many other places are making an exception when it comes to customers using the bathroom. If you’re going to keep me in the store for more than 30 minutes doing all these testing you need to have a bathroom available. If I went to PCC to use the bathroom before making my $400+ purchase I would have decided to take my business somewhere else.
Knowledgeable people and strong inventory position for items in my 12.5 size.
Great service, great shoes and inserts
Great service and knowledge from our sales associate today. Got my daughter fitted for a new pair of running shoes. Ill be back soon for a pair of shoes myself.
Great service, got what I needed without fuss and checked out quickly. Safe, friendly and helpful!
This is the only place I buy walking shoes! They fit - and the sales people know their product snd are very professional snd helpful!!
Staff is helpful and knowledgeable and are willing to help you at any cost.Definitely and amazing store.
Ive been shopping at this Road Runner store for several years and have always been so impressed by their dedication to customer service. Went in today and Omni took awesome care of us, getting us set up with exactly what we needed for our foot sizes, shapes and running gaits. Ever since my first pair of shoes and insoles at RRS Ive been running pain-free and enjoying it more than I ever did before. Will be back for sure!
My first visit to Road Runner Sports in October knocked my socks off. The technology to determine the size and contours of my feet and analyze how I walk was dazzling, but the best part was the service I received from Muso (Irene), one of the salespeople. Ive purchased a lot of shoes in almost seven decades, but never had such a helpful and friendly salesperson. She was knowledgeable about makes and styles of shoes, and could explain what differentiated them; she listened carefully to understand what I was looking for; and she was wonderfully friendly. This is the first time I can remember having shoes that fit my feet like the ones I bought, and they werent the most expensive ones I tried on. Three months later and its still a pleasure to put them on and wear them. Thanks, Muso! I wont hesitate to come back for my next shoes!
First time here. Great place to find some quality trail and running shoes. I went in with a small amount of knowledge about trail shoes and spoke with someone about an upcoming fitness event that I signed up for. She gave me some great suggestions on what to look for, for the type of event that I talked about. Just from her personality and ability to figure out what I needed, I signed up for their VIP. So, I walked in there looking for shoes and ended up leaving with exactly what I needed and then some, plus I saved money.
Great place, excellent help!
Great place. Wonderful customer service.
Update; custom insoles only lasted a couple months. They are also very hot and make your feet sweat really bad. It took them two tries to form and they intially felt pretty nice. Staff was friendly and attentive. However, insoles were thrown away a couple months later because they seem to fill up with sweat and hold moisture next to your foot, which is very trouble some on long hikes in the summer. Might only be good for shory runs, not long hikes.
So there I was fully aware of everything I knew I needed. But in comes Thea with all the knowledge this side of the Pacific! She broke down the shoes to me one by one and answered all ten thousand questions I had. She was amazing! Walked in a customer and left out a VIP! 😄
So my experience here started out great! The woman helping me was very friendly and helpful. She helped me find the perfect pair of shoes. Then I get to the register and she’s very aggressive about purchasing the membership. The way she explained it was very confusing to the point where I didn’t even know what the membership was or what I would pay. I respectfully declined and chose not to get the inserts after seeing they were $83!!! After that she turned very cold. She was even kind of rude. I could tell she was angry I didn’t purchase the membership or the inserts. Kind of unprofessional and made me very happy I didn’t purchase the membership. Make sure you know what you what you want/need before going in.
I have been buying my running shoes and apparel at Roadrunner for over 35 years both in person and on-line. There is no comparison to their selection and service. Thank you!
All the employees that I encountered were personable, welcoming, and knowledgeable! Thank you!
Very stocked shop, welcoming and professionally trained staff. In particular, Mia was very patient and skilled. She asked me to take a computerized barometric test, by walking on a board, and explained me very well the 3D graphics that the software generated. The analysis carried out in the store was consistent with other information that I already had about my way of walking and completed it. All this in order to recommend suitable shoes. I then bought a stabilizing model and immediately put the shoes on. Im walking a lot on this tour of Seattle and Vancouver. The shoes were an excellent and providential purchase. Thanks Mia. I hope that in the future I will easily by on line from this shop since I live in Europe.
Staff was very friendly and helpful picking out my shoe and inserts despite me coming in 20 minutes before closing. Appreciate the accommodation.
I had a fantastic experience here! Richie was our salesperson and he was quick, efficient, engaging and funny. He paired me with a FANTASTIC pair of running shoes that took me 4.5 miles right out of the store. No blisters, perfect fit. The prices here are reasonable, especially for QUALITY running shoes. Amazon is more expensive for the same shoes and wont measure your foot/stride for free! Great selection, GREAT service, will be back for sure!!!!
Irene was amazing and incredibly helpful!
Great service, the ladies were kind and helpful, really nice selection of athletic shoes
Michaela was so friendly and helpful!
Worst service ever. The person there wasn’t even interested in showing things. I convinced a friend to come along to this place and try because of the things I heard but seems like they don’t wanna sell.
Great customer service.
I have purchased running shoes from here three times. Ive had a great experience every time. Leticia helped me during my recent visit last month. She is very knowledgeable about all the different models and running in general and is very pleasant! We had a nice conversation about our marathon experiences. I will continue coming here for my shoe purchases despite living on the East Coast! Thanks Road Runners! Great selection, amazing staff.
The shop is amazing I become Vip right away when you are VIP you get discount prices and opportunity to try any shoes for 90 days and return them and they will let you take a new one. Also, all staff is friendly and they know they job they are not just selling people they also give you excellent advice. Thank you because of you i was able to run my fest half-marathon last week .
Such a great place. Super knowledagble and helpful staff. There is a reason to go and not just buy running shoes off Amazon. Custom fittings, lots of info, and nordstrom service. If you are walking, running, or standing... it is a 0lace to check out.
I had a great experience buying shoes at this location. The store representative, Satchel, was extremely helpful and informative. I will definitely be back in the future for my shoe needs
I have gone to this store for almost 7 years and enjoyed the store personnel who were knowledgeable about running and gave good feedback. The last year the turnover has been crazy and management knows nothing about running. Employees seem more focused on pushed the selling of socks and shoes you dont want then catering to runners like they did in the past. Go some place else if you want quality advice for real running.
Overall great experience! I came in a bit later in the day so the store wasnt busy at all. Bryce, one of the employees, was very quick to help and offered advice and solutions to all my questions. After doing a quick run test he immediately went back and grabbed a few shoes to try on that met my needs. A few other customers came in and Bryce started helping them too since again it was a bit later in the day so there werent many employees to help, but he did a wonderful job making sure we were both taken care of and checked back with me frequently to see how each pair of shoes fit. Wonderful place, nice staff and plenty of shoes to try on. Will definitely be coming back!
Ive always bought used shoes and had pain while running. Im 27 and dropped in, at 10am, on a weekday, for a free ergonomics shoe fitting and foot analysis. I only waited for 5-10 minutes before someone was available to help me understand my running form, and gave me specific advice on movements to reduce my pain and improve my strength and flexibility. The shoes feel like a glove and I love wearing them all the time! I wish I had come here sooner and am so grateful for the truly generous knowledge and experience provided.
I came in here a month ago, new to running and with no idea where to start in buying good running shoes. As soon as I walked in, someone at the counter asked how they could help me and set me up with Mia. She was extremely personable and knowledgable! After having me run on a treadmill and 3D scanning my foot, she helped me find the perfect shoes. I came in with my husband about two months later to get him some new running shoes....we were greeted immediately again and got lucky enough to have Mia helping us! She remembered me and once again I was blown away by her knowledge--my husband has totally different feet than me and she still knew exactly what types of shoes would be most beneficial for him and why (after having him run on a treadmill and doing a 3D scan). She was totally patient with us, especially since we didnt know anything about what kind of shoes we wanted, and helped him to find a perfect pair as well. Mia has been amazing to me twice now and I recommend this store to everyone!
Fit Expert Irene is amazing!!! My fiance and I came in for full service fitting and shoe purchases and Irene handled both of us simultaneously with poise, patien]ce and wonderful skill. She is also extremely knowledgeable of all products and went out of her way to make sure our needs were met. She was an absolute pleasure to work with and has a great personalityp. Great job Irene!!!
Anya helped me find the perfect running shoes. Really recommend it to anyone who want to improve everything when it comes to running.
Seriously the most helpful and courteous group of run enthusiast ever. Ive purchased all of my runing shoes exclusively from this franchise for the last 10 years and I will continue to buy them from them for the next 10 years.
I always have a great experience shopping with Road Runner Sports. I used to be a long time shopper at their San Diego location, and their customer service is excellent across the board. This location is smaller than others, and has a smaller selection, but thats never been an issue for me as they have a great online return policy.
I shop here regularly. They have decent selection and decent prices, especially if you join their loyalty program. They have a fancy run analysis tool to help you select a shoe type. Ive never used it, but if that sort of thing makes you feel better, its available. The staff all do some running, but this isnt the kind of running store where everyone is a running fanatic. If you are new to running, they can probably help, but if youve been around the block a few times, shop here for the selection and the prices and trust your own judgement.
High end store with lots of choices for sneakers but lots of their own brand for socks and other running apparel. Careful to join VIP program as you get charged each year without consent and unless you live here and use only this place to buy footwear and accessories, question whether you want to jump in with both feet.
Walked in 20 minutes before they closed, and was told twice by a dark-haired female salesperson that they close in 20 minutes, now in less than 15 minutes. She could have just focused on helping me instead of wasting time telling me that. If they dont want people coming in after a certain time, they should close the doors and then finish helping the customers who are already in the store, instead of trying to rush people out or have them leave.
Really poor customer service and very uneducated salespeople. Theyre not actual runners- they just sell shoes and will say anything to get you to buy them. My sales person basically just dropped the shoes in front of my chair and left. There was no help with fitting or helping me try to find the right shoe for me. It was like here you go youre on your own. I did point this out to her as well. She said Well I did tell you I didnt know much about that brand. I informed her that has nothing to do with how you help and service your customer. She basically just took off to tidy up around the store. They werent busy. There is no reason she cant assist and help me. I will not be going back here.
I came here to pick up my packet for Viking Dash. I looked around, not approached by anyone to see if I needed help with anything when I was looking to ask questions about shoes. I would not return to any particular location of Road Runners (I came from Bonney Lake) if this is how all sales associates treat customers or consumers browsing. The store was clean, no complaints there,l.
They will take the time to properly fit running shoes for you. Their stock is incredible and they have current models in Stock. Prices are a little high, but you cant beat the service they offer. No one can match their service from people who actually run and tried the shoes first. Will go back
Great customer service, friendly, and included our 4 yr old in the experience.
Really nice and helpful staff! Their running gait and shoe fitting assessment is top notch, too. Great store and worth it to become a VIP.
The staff was extremely helpful. I worked with Krystal and she was very knowledgeable and a joy to work with! If you go in here, definitely ask to work with her when you are buying shoes!
You get customized shoes for your needs. Process are a little higher but they are better shoes.
Ramsey was great and did an awesome job finding me the right fit for a running shoe. Highly recommend seeing him for running shoes.
I had no idea what I was looking for at Road Runner Sports, Im very new to jogging/running but Rickie was incredibly helpful. I would suggest their service to anyone new or experienced, they have a wealth of knowledge. Thank you Road Runner & Rickie!
Crystal made the shopping experience fantastic! She was friendly and gave me great suggestions on what to get. Will be sure to go back for the next pair.
I had a good experience. But i have a unique problem called Mortons neuroma. Compared to low key / low price running shoe stores, customer service was very knowledgeable. So if you have a special issue I would recommend them. Without any prompting they were spot on with the same recommendations as my podiatrist.
Walked in off the street to buy some gear. Got to the front and the cashier quoted a price nearly 20% higher than the sticker price. Apparently there is fine print. The price I thought I was paying is only for paid members but its very deceptive. Their actual prices for regular customers are actually much higher - to the point where it doesnt make sense to shop there if you only go in once or twice a year. Dont be fooled. I will not be going back.
Being a new runner and new to seattle I choose to go to this place base on their large selection. But I left without buying anything. I had some basic how-to questions about running properly and good places to run but the staff was full of non-runners. They also brought me shoes out I didnt ask for and kept talking to me about signing up for their membership. They didnt seem rude and they do have a large selection but this wont be the store I buy my shoes and gear at.
Short: They dont know their products, they charge you on the down low, and I recommend you shop elsewhere.Ive had nothing but bad experiences with the Greenlake Location. My first visit was several years ago, where they outfitted me with the wrong sized shoe THREE times before I finally figured out what was wrong myself, and came in and bought the shoes I found online after my own research.- All their fancy technology doesnt make up for lack of actual running and product knowledge.Then, I came in last year and waiting 30 minutes not to be helped, but to be spoken to or acknowledged. Nothing like hey well be right with you or anything. Their team was clearly struggling to deal with a lot of customers at once.When we were finally helped, we were offered 5% off or something of that nature but then charged me on the down low for their VIPCLUB. I didnt want to be in this club, I wasnt notified I was being signed up for this.. So I called and asked to be taken off.THEN TODAY I WAS CHARGED AT $27.99 ANNUAL FEE.Im usually really understanding when things dont go right, especially since Ive worked in sports retail for many years. But I will not be shopping here ever again, and think its important for the public to know they should shop elsewhere as well.
Best place for running/trail/athletic shoes! The people are great, friendly and knowledgeable. Wouldn’t go anywhere else!!
Its so fascinating to read the wildly divergent reviews here. I walked in, got really friendly and helpful service. I bought a pair of Sauconys and got the custom inserts. My feet have never felt better while running. (I was also directed to the best pair of socks on earth. On sale.)I am a very, very novice runner. So maybe expert runners are struggling because their knowledge outstrips the sales reps? But its perplexing that so many people are reporting rudeness. I just got off the phone with the store, because its time for me to buy another pair of shoes (its been a couple of years, and they feel worn out), and the guy on the phone was friendly, helpful, and had the answers to my questions.Highly recommend.
Great customer service (thank you Mia!) She helped me find the running shoes I was looking for.
