Reviews of Road Runner Sports
The employees were working hard on Mother's Day to take care of customers, and they did a great job. Noah was our salesman, he gets 5 stars. I give the store 4 stars because they lack Altra inventory. They had the shoes I wanted for my mom, the Lone Peak 6, so I was happy. I have several pairs of them, and was hoping to see some other models in person.
My mom loves the shoes, and it was great to find them at a store. Big thanks to the hard working staff.
Everyone was kind and helpful, nobody judges, and they were very slow with me and my mother. I got shoes and soles from here and they are super comfortable. A bit pricey but definitely worth it. Thank you for being great and keep up the good work.
Went in to upgrade my shoes after 7 years of casual off and on running. Lety did a great job of helping me even with the store being quite busy on a Saturday morning. She helped me with several shoes and addressed my questions as I tried different pairs. Great service and look forward to shopping here again!
Customer service was excellent, friendly,
knowledgeable and answered all my questions. My husband and I brought some very comfortable shoes. Would highly recommend this business. Definitely will be coming back for future purchases.
Came in to get shoes with better support for my healthcare job, and was absolutely blown back by how comprehensive the evaluation process was. Alaina was so sweet, helpful, and patient during the entire process, ensuring that I was happy with each step and style. She measured my gait, usage, and let me try insoles to ensure I was getting the best fit and custom support for my feet as possible. And the prices matches up with options online exactly. Would highly recommend!!
Amazing service from both employees Andrew and Anthony. They helped me pick out the perfect pair of hoka running shoes that fit me perfectly. They were very helpful answering all my questions with excellent knowledge on their products.
This location had a HUGE selection of all different brooks styles. The selection itself within the sizes themselves wasn't 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 21's. At first i thought they were super plain, until the sun hits them. These BROOKS shoes are the most comfortable shoes i've ever had. They fixed my back within an hour after wearing them.... REALLY!!!
I came into this road runner a couple weeks ago and was helped by a super lovely person. I am super picky with shoes as my feet are almost a whole size different from each other so finding the perfect fit is hard especially when you’re as picky as me lol. This young gal (I think her name was Roxy? Hopefully that’s her name lol) helped me find the perfect size Brooks Ghost 14s after measuring my feet and bringing me multiple options and brands to try on to make sure I found the perfect shoe to go running in. Great experience and I’ll drive back to this location in green lake all the way from Mill Creek because of it
I absolutely love this store. Every single time I go there the employees are amazing. They help me pick the correct shoes. I will continue to frequent this store as it’s quickly becoming my favorite shoe store. Thank you you guys.
Amazing service. Charlotte did a great job with me and my son. I got some beautiful comfortable shoes and I am so excited to run in them. I love Road Runner Sports!
Alaina helped me find the perfect shoes! I tried on so many feeling out what was best based on her reccomendations and ended up with a perfect pair. She was incredibly helpful + patient and I’m excited to wear my new shoes.
Great service, low inventory, in addition shoes don’t have detailed info in shoes as they used to such as; drop, weight and price. The stuff is amazing, however I prefer to have the details on shoes handy.
Jed was attentive and very thorough in his explanations. He went through the fit process patiently and offerred many different shoe selections based on the recommendations.
Attentive, accurate shoe fitting, great prices, nice selection and able to order color of your choice (if you choose). Although a little out of my way it is always worth the trip.
My experience working with Christian was the best I have ever had at your Seattle store. Polite, courteous, knowledgable and efficient. I would hire him.
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!
Update: Rhain from the corporate team was very helpful in coming to a fair resolution. Rhain was very helpful and responsive.
I would love to give this location 5 starts. The local team is very helpful and knowledgeable. However 2 stars are removed because of the corporate office. I have been trying to get a hold of a customer service rep for the VIP membership for over 4 months. I've called 3 different numbers on the website, I've sent emails. And I am never able to connect to anyone or get a response.
I finally called the store with my issue and they were able to help me in 5 minutes. Not sure why they list a variety of numbers if they have no one to answer at the customer service rep. I've gotten cable issues dealt with faster than this.
Everyone here is super helpful and knowledgeable. I have been a customer now for three years and wouldn’t buy my running shoes anywhere else.
I had a great experience today getting new custom support insoles, socks and shorts. Sophia was expert and patient, making sure I left with what I needed, she gets five stars. I loved the selection and am pleased with the VIP benefits. Thanks for being a great running store!
Shoe shopping is normally a long, difficult, and nigh impossible task for me. I came in knowing I'd take a while and hoping I'd find something, but really expecting my usual routine of trying on a dozen or more pairs and settling for something mildly functional, even if still far from ideal.
I'm pleased to say I was happily surprised! The shoe fitting experience was revolutionary to me, and I left with one pair of shoes, custom insoles, a plan for getting another pair, and more understanding about my feet and how good shoes should work than I've ever had before.
Jess is outstanding in every single way!They were confident, pleasant, and highly knowledgeable. When a pair didn't make the cut, Jess knew Exactly what to do with that info and how to find the right shoes that fit well.
I left feeling less like I went through a sole-fitting, and more like I found shoes that were soul-fitting. I'm excited about my shoes and how well they fit and meet my needs. That's the first time I've ever said that!
Thanks Road Runner!
Customer service and happiness with your shoes are the outstanding principles at Roadrunner. They reminded me that a perfect fit came with a 90 day warranty. Who does that? Marisa & Christian were tremendously helpful. If you walk or run, an active person, this is where you buy your shoes, even, if like me, you have an extra long, narrow foot.
Great experience. I got fitted for insoles and it has made a big difference for my chronic knee pain. Great selection and knowledgeable staff.
Incredible experience. I’ve been a dorky marathon runner for a long time and got used to an amazing team in San Diego before I moved to Seattle and for whatever reason never expected a difference in service going elsewhere. I was dead on correct - Road runner is awesome everywhere. I wandered in to the Green Lake store in Seattle needing new gear for this next half marathon and Anthony took absolute care of everything I needed and beyond. Honestly this is such a great community of runners who care about each other and thank you for this company 🥰
I don't know how much Andrew gets paid, but I do know it's not enough. He's 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.
We are passing through Seattle and stopped by the store today on a whim. I had a great experience with Anthony as our salesman. He spent over an hour with me and my teenager completing the full analysis and fitting process, and he did not seem to mind that my daughter couldn't decide on a good fit and chose to wait on buying. He explained how to retrieve our records from RRS's systems as we travel to other states with RRS stores so she can try again in the future. I got a great pair of shoes and custom insoles for me and insoles for my daughter, and I am confident about future purchases online since I don't live near any RRS stores. Thanks!
Charlotte was great and very helpful in explaining the difference between the 2 shoes I was looking at to purchase!!!
Great experience probably found my new favorite shoes!
Mia fitted my son. And she did a really good job explaining & recommending the correct shoe for him. The 3D machine is fascinating.
Good help in finding the right running shoe for my son. Knowledgeable staff and great selection of lots of brands.
Andrew was wonderfully helpful and had tons of advice and anecdotes that helped me find exactly the shoes I wanted. Wasn't pushy at all. Thanks so much!
Super helpful and friendly team there! Loved that we could get super custom inserts and recommendations based upon special equipment to size, gait, and instep.
Cristian helped us with finding the right running shoes, we were happy with our experience and membership benefits!
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.
Jess was very helpful and patient. The store has a nice selection of running shoes. The technology available to help find the best fit is wonderful. I went in on a Saturday afternoon and they had one staff calling in sick last minute so just the two staff members helping everyone. They moved as fast as they could. After waiting for about 20 min, Jess helped me set up, gave me the evaluation, and I walked away happy with my new shoes in 20 min.
Anthony was wonderful ! I was in a rush , needing quick in and out. Boy he really dialed in to my energy. They’re under staffed and he definitely accommodated.
Thankyou!
I went there with my daughter close to close time. The employee patiently measured my daughter's shoe size and brought different of shoes she can try on. He was polite and respectful. The store has a variety of shoes and I recommend it for everyone.
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 can't wait to take them out for spin.
Loved the experience of shoe shopping at the store! Jess was very knowledgeable and friendly not to mentioned patient as both me and my partner were trying multiple pairs on! We both found our perfect fitting new shoes!
Staff are so wonderfully helpful! Super knowledgeable and explain everything in detail - including how your form affects your shoe needs. I always learn something! I purchased some shoes from them online and they were causing me pain so I came in hoping some custom insoles would help. They took me through the fit process again and allowed me to return my old shoes and exchange for a more suitable pair. Amazing benefit to return even after substantial use
Gosh, where do I start? I walk by this store on my way to Body By Impulse and finally stopped in. Andrew was so nice and good grief, holy cow, knowledgeable and caring to listen to my specific wants vs. my uneducated desires in a shoe. 😂
I feel confident I have the best shoes for my feet, some cute running attire, perfect socks, and a little extra something for fun. Thank you, Andrew!
The staff is lit. The equipment is high tech. I’ve never been in such a good pair of shoes before as a half marathoner, and I wear ultra boost.
Give them a visit for your running and walking appearal. And don’t forget to complain about stress fractures if you’re a runner.
I randomly popped in this store right before it was about to close for the day back in September 2021. I expected the young staff to be itching to leave, apathetic, and not super friendly. I could not have been more wrong. I was so impressed by and appreciative of Randall, who helped me find the right running shoes. We chatted quite a bit and he went above and beyond to explain different technologies to me about a variety of shoes and brands. He was so patient and just made my experience so enjoyable. It was fun watching him and his colleagues interact and see their passion for running and interest in shoes shine through. I will definitely be going back.
Great service for finding the perfect shoe, really appreciate the knowledge and attention the staff provided while my wife and I were shopping.
We were able to get in, find the shoe we wanted, get custom insoles and get out extremely fast.
Alaina really took the time to help me find a shoe that fit properly so I can get back to all the sports I love with less annoying injury downtime. They know their stuff! If you're serious about the longevity of doing the sports you love, you need the right shoe to help avoid injury! Thanks so much!
I had very fast, attentive service during Labor Day Weekend. I’m so excited about my new shoes and custom inserts.
Great customer service, friendly staff. They will let you know about deals and they're 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
Stopped by Roadrunner Seattle today looking for some new walking shoes. The moment I walked through the door, I was greeted by Alaina. She explained the fitting process and selected several shoes for me to try. I purchased the ASICS Nimbus 24, socks and some insoles.
Alaina is an excellent sales person! Knowledgeable, personable and made my shoe shopping an enjoyable experience. If you go here, ask for her. Thanks Alaina!
I made a Christmas purchase online. Went to the Seattle to exchange for a wider shoe. I was greeted at the door and in less then 20 minutes the employee had 3 shoes ready to show me around the criteria I provided and had the roadrunner website pulled up so I could see my online options. I left with the perfect gift and no hassle. Thank you roadrunner!
Road Runner Sports makes everything easy. The support team does a great hob recommending shoes and explaining why one would work better than another. The treadmills in store are clutch. The shoe selection is great without being overwhelming and everything else you might need for outdoor activity/training is there as well.
I highly recommend Road Runner Sports! I came in to purchase a pair of running shoes. Randall helped me find the perfect pair. He was very helpful and knowledgeable, and kindly answered my many questions about shoes and running a marathon. I will shop here again!
What a great experience! Patient staff, great tech for a perfect fit, and a huge selections of brands and styles. I must have tried on at least 12 pair, with no pressure. I walked out feeling like I got exactly what I wanted and needed!
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 have been shopping at Roadrunner for years. Their employees are wonderful and knowledgeable. I always feel like my feet will be happy when they leave. Andrew was our helper yesterday and he was fabulous!
I’ve been training for a half marathon and had knee and hip aches and pains. The employee that helped me was super knowledgeable of the shoe options (all brands) and fitted me for custom insoles and helped me discover the reasons that were causing my aches. The shoes and insoles combo have been a total game changer for my distance runs. Thanks road runner sports!! 🤘
Easy to make selection: tried on a fee pairs of shoes, asked clerk (Randal) for suggestions on brands after describing what I needed in a shoe, bought shoes that felt best. In and out of store in twenty minutes.
Good price made better with VIP membership
Chill environment and super helpful staff. Marley was very nice and helpful and got me set up with the perfect trail runners
Excellent service in selecting a pair of Hokas for my wife.
Sophia was extremely helpful in finding me some shoes for work with maximum cushion! Forever coming back here for my shoe needs.
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!
My exchange could not have been easier and the personalized analysis and show fitting for my husband was incredible. The staff here is always so knowledgeable and helpful. They never pressure and always help you make the right choices. I love this place!
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. I've 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 weren't the most expensive ones I tried on. Three months later and it's still a pleasure to put them on and wear them. Thanks, Muso! I won't hesitate to come back for my next shoes!
Cannot recommend this place enough. As I near my 40’s my pronation gate and flat feet had finally said “enough”. After back to back days and 33k steps in SoCal (one day at Disney) my right foot became “unwalkable” due to my wearing the wrong shoes and insoles. Rested a couple weeks, including not playing basketball. Mind you I would play 3-4 times a week for 2-4 hours at a time and have no foot pain issues…
Well I played again after the SoCal incident, maybe two weeks after and on the second day, my right Achilles was sore, just as it was in SoCal before I couldn’t walk on it.
I was referred to Road Runner and it has been a life changer!
Custom molded insoles/support, 3D scan of your feet and a video of your walk/gate from behind so you fully “get it.”
Beyond responsibly priced and zero pressure. Cannot recommend enough!
Jeremy greeted me as soon as I came in the door and listened carefully to what I needed. After trying on four pairs, I walked out with the right shoes after being in the store maybe 20 minutes (midday on a Friday). Nice job!
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.
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
Great individualized experience . Helped us find a pair of shoes that were specific for my sons(15yo) foot type. Andrew was great very helpful.
Friendly customer service. Staff found the right shoe and recommendation for me based on my running style. Been a VIP member for past 2 years
I've 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 I've been running pain-free and enjoying it more than I ever did before. Will be back for sure!
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.
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!
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.
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.
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.
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!!
Andrew was fantastic! He took time to make sure we were both excited about our new shoes. The fitting process is the best!
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 won't measure your foot/stride for free! Great selection, GREAT service, will be back for sure!!!!
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. I'm 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.
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!
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 have purchased running shoes from here three times. I've 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.
Overall great experience! I came in a bit later in the day so the store wasn't 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 weren't 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!
Road Runner Sports has been awesome! Very friendly and helpful.
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!
This is a beautiful store with great selections and informed staff. Had a wonderful shopping experience here.
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.
Professional, friendly and he covered all the bases. Bought 2 pair of shoes and a bunch of socks. I will be coming back.
I knew what I needed. Ran into the store, got shoes, new insoles, gloves and was back out in less than 15 minutes! Excellent service! Great people!
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.
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 service and knowledge from our sales associate today. Got my daughter fitted for a new pair of running shoes. I'll be back soon for a pair of shoes myself.
I've always bought used shoes and had pain while running. I'm 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 always love shopping at Road Runner. Staff is knowledgeable, professional and courteous. And I love being a VIP member. You know at a glance what your savings will be.
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 .
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!
It's so fascinating to read the wildly divergent reviews here. I walked in, got really friendly and helpful service. I bought a pair of Saucony's 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 it's perplexing that so many people are reporting rudeness. I just got off the phone with the store, because it's time for me to buy another pair of shoes (it's 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.
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. I've never used it, but if that sort of thing makes you feel better, it's available. The staff all do some running, but this isn't the kind of running store where everyone is a running fanatic. If you are new to running, they can probably help, but if you've been around the block a few times, shop here for the selection and the prices and trust your own judgement.
Outstanding customer service! I left there feeling like I had high-quality shoes that actually fit me. Highly recommend!
Was really impressed by the help I got in store today, they make it really easy to find your next running shoe (thank you Randal for helping me today!) I have also used the treadmills in the past which are really great
I purchased a pair of shoes at Road Runner today, after visiting their competitor several times and failing to find a shoe that fit. I have probably tried on hundreds of shoes over the last few days at their competitor, but the first one at Road Runner was a success. I found their analysis very helpful. The competitor simply asked me to run a few feet while watching, but Road Runner checks arches, measurements as well as your gait and pronation. The assessment was more accurate in finding a shoe for my wide, high-arched foot. The staff was very friendly and helpful. I think it's a bummer that they charge for a membership but it's worth it when you can finally find shoes that fit correctly! All in all, I am happy with my visit.
They were extremely knowledgeable about the specs of each shoe. Amazing!
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 didn't 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!
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 can't beat the service they offer. No one can match their service from people who actually run and tried the shoes first. Will go back
I've shopped here a number of times, and yes, I bought the inserts. Maybe they're helpful for some, others not. Bring them back if you don't like them. RRS has a very liberal return policy.
I've always gotten good service here, including today. I returned a pair of shoes that weren't working for me. When I removed my insoles, they noticed that the ones I was wearing were sized wrong for the shoes I was in. Despite the fact that I'd bought them years earlier, they exchanged them on the spot without my even asking. If that's not good customer service, I don't know what is.
For those who have to wait five to ten minutes for any kind of service anywhere - stop being passive aggressive. Be an adult and ask for what you want.
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.
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.
The advice and support from staff in the Greenlake store here is amazing. I thought I wanted to stick with the ASICS Gel Nimbus series and one of their staff helped me learn how great the Mizuno Waveknit line is for my feet!
Now let's get to why I'm rating it 3 stars instead of 5. My experience with the website and customer support for Road Runner Sports as a whole has been absolutely atrocious. If you decide to stick with this company for shoes, I would strongly urge you to use their stores and never use their site.
To give more context, I'd bought a pair of shoes in this store using my existing Rewards balance for a discount. Since I walk a lot, I try and rotate between two pairs of shoes. There weren't any more of my shoes in the right size at this location, so I tried to order a second pair through their website. When I went to check out it offered me the option to redeem my $15 or so Rewards balance. After selecting this option and going to check out, the checkout window showed about a $10 savings, which seemed odd. When I looked at the amount it actually charged after checking out, it had not applied EITHER discount.
The "reason" I was told when I called up their customer service is that their website thought I still had the Rewards balance (of $15) I used in the store. Apparently, in this day and age it takes multiple days for their system to process a prior purchase and update your rewards balance, but the craziness of their system doesn't end there!
I had them cancel the order with the incorrect balance and properly apply my current Rewards balance to an order by phone. A couple weeks went by with no shoes delivered or any new order for this showing up in my account on their website. I called them up and was informed that orders that are in transit do not show up anywhere on their website because they don't believe it's worthwhile for you to be informed of the order's status until the shoes are already delivered. You also will not receive a tracking number for your order for one of two reasons (I was told both so I don't know if either of these is actually correct).
1) Their website's screwed up and doesn't send out notifications per the customer support person I spoke to, or
2) Per one of their customer support leads, I unsubscribed from their marketing emails and that somehow means I'm not supposed to receive any tracking emails either (how is this logical if true?).
The end result was that my shoes were apparently being held in a warehouse for over a week waiting for the shipper (Road Runner Sports) to contact them. Only after I'd called them up to find out what was going on did the shoes apparently get returned to Road Runner Sports and I was not even informed I would be getting a refund and my shoe order was no longer being processed.
So in summary, in store service gets 5 stars. Website service gets maaaybe 1 star. Only use the website if you want a terrible customer experience. Hopefully this helps someone else avoid the headache that is their atrocious website.
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 that's never been an issue for me as they have a great online return policy.
I had a good experience. But i have a unique problem called Morton's 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.
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.
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!!!
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.
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.
Even though the store was 5 minutes from closing, the staff spent time with me on a running shoe selection. Love the foot scan!
Sadly RoD Runner Sports is experiencing the problems of shipping that all material groups are having tight now. They were very good at goving
information and they know their bussiness.
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.
Great staff. They are very knowledgable and I liked the shoe dog running analysis. The adventure run they do monthly is great! A lot of fun for people of all ages and skill levels. Also, its so close to greenlake, you can do a lap or two once you get your new shoes!
I visited the store on 7/21/19 to get my running gate and feet analyzed in order to get better shoes. I developed shin splints in my left leg. Avery and Lety helped me and were both friendly and got straight down to figuring out how the best possible shoes for my mild pronation and shin splints. Lety is a seasoned marathon runner and gave me lots of useful advice to dealing with shin splints when upping running volume. It's been a little over 2 weeks since picking up a pair of shoes. The shoes are serving me well and I'm back to running again. Thank you Lety and Avery.
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! 😄 …
Just had the most pleasant expereience over there! I came in around 11 am on a thursday and had them fit me for a new pair of running shoes as i have a half coming and needed new shoes asap! All three employees were super friendly and helpful, not to mention knowledgable and full of great advice. Totally loved it all, totally recommend going in!
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!
Great store. Customer service was sublime.
I bought a pair of shoes for my Mother. The guy working here was very nice.
Thank you!
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
Great store to be custom fitted for running shoes. I loved the service and scientific approach to video taping feet on a treadmill to see how you step and pick shoes that help support your foot while running.
Fantastic evaluation from Christian! Got my perfect fit shoes and new insoles just for me!
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!
Anthony was very helpful. Great customer service.
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.
This is my go-to store for running shoes. Great service, selection, and member benefits (if you're a regular runner).
The associate was knowledgeable and very helpful. I love their custom inserts and their 3D shoe sizing technology
Seriously the most helpful and courteous group of run enthusiast ever. I've 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.
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.
Great customer service by Crystal and Abbie. Incredibly detailed shoe fitting process that helped my husband find the perfect pair of shoes to fit his needs.
I had no idea what I was looking for at Road Runner Sports, I'm 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!
Amazing shoe buying experience combined with my custom shoe fitting. Thank you so much for the expert advice, I love my shoes!
Great selection. However , there was a female manager that was a little too "know-it-all". Never assume that just because you work at a running store, you know more than the runner coming in to make a purchase.
Friendly staff in store and on phone. Clean with flexible return policy. They would have gotten 5 star but didn't tell us that online VIP price is much cheaper.
Fantastic in-shopping experience with foot scans, treadmill analysis and excellent customer service provided by Lety!
Staff is very friendly but isn't as knowledgeable in general about specific running lore like where to do a trail run (go to Seven Hills for that). Seems geared more towards the generic city runner. But they will spend ages with you to fit the right shoe and talk to you about it.
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 came here to pick up my race packet for the half-marathon, Beat the Blerch. The store was very nice, lots of great athletic merchandise. It is in a fun area to walk around as well.
Staff was very friendly and helpful picking out my shoe and inserts despite me coming in 20 minutes before closing. Appreciate the accommodation.
Great running shoes, very knowledgeable employees
Great service from Randall, even though the store was busy and they were short-staffed.
Great service, the ladies were kind and helpful, really nice selection of athletic shoes
Thanks Courtney! Appreciation for coming up from Portland; your customer service skills are excellent!
Salesperson incredibly helpful n courteous
Do the "shoe dog" thing and see what kind of shoes you really should wear. Helpful friendly staff, and a good method of determining what shoes you need based on how you move.
Very knowledgeable and professional!!
Ramsey was great and did an awesome job finding me the right fit for a running shoe. Highly recommend seeing him for running shoes.
Anya helped me find the perfect running shoes. Really recommend it to anyone who want to improve everything when it comes to running.
Best place for running/trail/athletic shoes! The people are great, friendly and knowledgeable. Wouldn’t go anywhere else!!
Amazing service great staff 10/10
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.
You get customized shoes for your needs. Process are a little higher but they are better shoes.
Great service, huge selection of running shoes, custom fit insoles, all kinds of running gear.
Great shopping experience and helpful staff.
