I can’t wait to come back for more.Posted on Google R “Rachel”Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Everyone here who has helped me has done an amazing job. This is my second pair of shoes from here and the first ones were actually rubbing on my toe where the seam of the shoe was so they did an even exchange for me for a different kind of shoe absolutely amazing recommend this place to anyone having trouble finding shoes that fit!Posted on Google M MikhaielTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Shout out AntonioPosted on Google E FoxTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. At Runnin’ Gear, I never even had to touch a shoe — the entire experience was a personalized shoe fitting and gait assessment from start to finish. The customer service was honestly some of the best I’ve ever experienced. Antonio unlaced and relaced every single shoe we tried so I could properly test them on my bad foot. They took the time to listen, assess, and make sure I found the right fit instead of just selling me a pair of shoes. Highly recommend for anyone looking for knowledgeable staff and truly individualized service.Posted on Google R JTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.
