The Runner's Shop is my favourite place for running gear in Toronto. Their selection is great and Darren Weldrick's knowledge and experience with running shoes and running, in general, is unparalleled.

Very helpful and friendly staff. They helped me pick out a nice pair of New Balance daily trainers. Great selection of products for running!

I received incredible no-nonsense, top of the line service from Michael. My feet are quite large, so I often have a hard time shoe shopping, but this experience was absolutely painless. The prices are amazing as well!
