Westchester Road Runner is a well-known running specialty store located in downtown White Plains, N.Y., serving the community since 1980. The store offers a wide selection of over 15 brands of footwear, making it the largest in the tri-state area. It caters to runners, busy individuals, moms, and anyone who enjoys running, walking, or jogging. In addition to shoes, the store carries track spikes, accessories, and apparel for running, swimming, and triathlon. Customers appreciate the knowledgeable and patient staff who take their time to find the right fit for each individual’s needs. Many reviews mention staff members like Adam, Barry, and Jerry, who go above and beyond by offering multiple options, allowing test runs, and providing personalized assistance, especially for those with foot issues. The store is praised for its thorough service, willingness to spend time with customers, and genuine care to help find suitable shoes. While some customers note waiting times, they believe the quality of service justifies the wait. The store is recognized as a boutique environment that prioritizes customer needs, with one reviewer highlighting their loyalty to purchasing exclusively from there for their family. However, there was one report of rude behavior from a staff member during a shoe test, which was off-putting but not representative of the overall positive experience at Westchester Road Runner.
Excellent experience! The staff were incredibly friendly and knowledgeable, making it easy to find exactly what I needed. Great selection of running gear with plenty of options for every type of runner. Highly recommend!

Bought a pair of ASICS on Saturday. The sales associate Barry was excellent. He is very knowledgeable and took the time to analyze my gait and stance. And help me find the best fitting shoe to meet my needs. Very impressed!! The sneakers are Great. Thank you Barry
