Carlee was so incredibly helpful. I went to the running center to get some new sneakers for walking as I've been experiencing some pain lightly. After she explained that shoes aren't necessarily a magic bullet for pain, but putting you in the correct shoes can certainly help with pain, we moved to the 3d model machine. The machine evaluated my feet and Carlee explained the results. We when then moved to the shoe selection process where I went through 7 different shoes. I landed in what I think are fantastic shoes and i owe that to Carlee and the Running Center. Note: I went in there for shoes for me, my wife was so impressed that she got a pair as well!

Competitive pricing, calm atmosphere, exceptional customer service! It's worth it. You are worth it! I have purchased several sneakers from The Running Center dating back to 2009. Why has this taken me so long?!! Carlee recently helped me narrow my options and make another purchase. She listened. She was informative, upbeat, sincere, and ultimately helped me pick what would best suit my needs and budget right now. You are a gem Carlee and much appreciated. This is the "WHY" to shopping here. My feet have been through hell and I want the best. Leave online and big box stores to other goods and support their local, personalized service

My partner and I (we're not runners) went in because we've been having feet pain and needed good shoes for everyday use. The folks at running center were so knowledgeable and generous with their insights. We learned a lot about our feet and the best shoes for them and walked away with new pairs of shoes. Our feet are so much happier

Thank you Carlee & Running Center for making my first visit an amazing experience! I used the Aetrex foot scanner to find a better long distance running shoe & Carlee was there to guide me throughout the entire process with an enthusiastic attitude that was so welcoming! As beginner runner looking for some guidance I'm so thankful I found Running Center. Wish I could give more than 5 stars, I'm very happy and satisfied with the shoe selection, sizing options, customer service and value of being able to use the Aetrex scanner. I posted photos on Instagram of the scanner and started recommending running center in Carlsbad!

Carlee from Running Center gave us exceptional customer service and experience. The value for what you get at Running center is wonderful. They have very good selection and if you cannot find what you are looking for in the store they order it for you. Great people as always.

This place is great! Carlee, the manager, is so helpful and kind. As a new runner, I needed help finding the perfect shoe and the Running Center was able to help me get my gait analyzed by their high tech computer system. After that, Carlee took her time to help me find the best shoe for my feet. Highly recommend this place if you're in need of some new running shoes.

Was my first time at Running Store and was fortunate to get Carlee to help me, my friend who always bups her walking shoes there, took me there and so happy she did. Carlee took lots of time and patience to make sure I had just the right shoe to fit my new orthotic and I love my new Brooks Ghosts, when she first put it on my foot, I felt like Goldilocks

Carlee was immediately helpful as soon as I walked in and directed me to exactly what I was looking for. She also answered some important questions about other shoes too. Her enthusiasm is infectious and her competency appreciated.

I have been going to the Running Center for running shoes for over a decade now. As a lifetime distance runner, I have been very happy with their selection. But the main reason I have always come back is due to their astounding service that all running stores should emulate. Other stores I have gone to have tried to up-sell and sometimes have had only functional knowledge of the shoes they sold. Here, the staff want me in the best shoe for me, regardless if that results in a sale. Because they are runners themselves, they know the importance of getting the right fit for the activity you want them for and have the knowledge and insight to help you find it. Even through I am no longer a local, I still come to this store whenever I run my shoes down! So if you love to run or just want to try it out, I can honestly say there is no better place to go.

Running Center in Carlsbad is amazing. I was happily surprised at their large selection of shoes as well as their selection of shoes that were on sale. Carlee helped fit me and made sure I had the perfect shoe size for my feet. Excellent customer service. If you're a runner in the north county area make sure to pay a visit to running center!

We love this stores for all our active wear shoes. We did some serious damage on their Super Bowl Sunday $25 off each pair promotion. everyone who works here is Uber helpful and friendly. And their rewards program makes purchasing even better. Wouldn't go anywhere else for shoes!

I love this place. I've been exclusively buying my tennis shoes here for years. They have a a large selection of shoes. When you go in you'll get evaluated and then you'll try on multiple pairs of shoes to see which feels best. They have a small staff but they are all very knowledgeable and kind and want you to find the best pair of shoes. I've never had any issues with the shoes after purchase. They often have sales on shoes and they will ensure that they're finding shoes within your budget.

I came in tonight about 30 minutes until closing to get new running shoes. I had no clue what I needed or wanted. George was SO HELPFUL and so nice!! He had me try on a bunch of different shoes and was so knowledgeable about what I needed and what would work. He helped me pick the perfect shoe out and it only took like 15 minutes!! 10000/10 recommend! I can't wait to run in my new shoes (: If you're looking to get new shoes or your first pair and don't know where to start, this is the place!!!
