Was at the Tampa store, and the salesman was very knowledgeable. If I lived in Tampa would probably buy my Hoka shoes there.

I have been a customer here since 2007 (and my mom has been one over 10 years longer). The staff are knowledgeable about all shoe companies and don't pigeon-hole you into just trying one brand like some other stores do. They provide reasoning for why a shoe could be the best for you, but at the end of the day leave it up to each runner to pick what fits best. I highly recommend this store for any new or experienced runner.

It took me two years to get around to posting this.The guy that works at this store changed my life. I had chronic sprained ankles, knee pain, back pain, and hip pain. It has been a problem for years. I go in to Runnin Gear out of curiosity, and i told this chill older gentleman about my dilemma. He measured and inspected my feet. He gave me a crash course on the flaws of modern running shoes, and how a good pair of shoes is meant to be made. He went on to tell me that my feet have an issue where they want to bow inwards. He shows me a brand of shoes that are specifically designed for people with this issue. I tried these shoes and all of my knee, back and hip pain stopped being an issue in my life. I also stopped getting sprained ankles. It was the best customer service I have ever recieved and directly made my life easier. To think all I had to do was find the right shoes for me. Whatever your name is Magical Mustache Shoe Guy, thank you! You really helped me.

Called Paul on the phone to ask about a particular brand which he didn’t carry. Paul informed me why he didn’t carry them and asked me to come in, in order for him to make a proper recommendation.Today when I arrived and Paul gave me his full time and attention. I was given a detailed explanation of why my shoes were causing me discomfort. Moving on I was given another detailed explanation of different shoes and how they were made and what makes them best for my feet.We then moved on to getting my size and Paul brought out several pairs of shoes, explained the benefits and pricing for each shoe. Once I got the first pair on I knew I’d came to the right place. Almost instant relief for some of my discomfort.There aren’t many places left where you can get this level of service and genuine care. I was very grateful and impressed.

[please "like" if this is helpful]The best technical athletic shoe consultation in the area. Paul's 50 years of experience and understanding of body mechanics shines. Top running brands... I always learn so much. All these years, he helps me select the perfect shoes, and they perform well mile after mile, keeping me injury free.

I love going to this store for my shoe needs. Paul is so knowledgeable and gives you his undivided attention. The prices are reasonable and if they do not have it can they order what you need.

Very attentive and knowledgeable staff. We were greeted as soon as we walked through the door. We left with two pairs of shoes perfect for our feet. We were truly happy with our purchases and would recommend this place to anyone.

This place is great.As others have said, wear in or bring in your most used shoes and they will be able to give you the best solution to get more life out of the shoes you do buy. It’s worth a visit, way before going to a big box store.
