Love coming here for new running or walking shoes. Upon walking in there is often someone ready to assist you immediately, and if not, someone will be with you soon. The staff are knowledgeable and having your foot strike looked at is a great way to ensure the best shoes. This is THE place to come for runners in the Philadelphia area.

I'm never buying running shoes online again! I had purchased a pair online (not from PR) that were really killing my feet so I went into the Center City store to purchase a replacement pair... What a great experience. Michael assisted me and listened to my concerns and needs. He was extremely knowledgeable, helpful and friendly. It also turns out that he is Philly Running Royalty, so he really knows his stuff. I have also shopped previously at the Manayunk location and had a very similar good experience. Highly recommended!

I had a good shopping experience here a few days ago. They have an excellent running shoe selection. I will come back here for running shoe shopping when I am next in Philadelphia.

I'm not a runner, but I have lots of foot problems. They have a great selection and very knowledgeable staff that help you get the right shoes for YOUR feet. Most shoe shops don't have wide widths or staff that have a basic understanding of the mechanics of feet. If you care about your feet and getting good shoes that support them, shop here.

My wife and I visited the store whilst on vacation. We were helped by Michael the store manager who was super friendly and provided great service. My wife is partially sighted and Michael was very accommodating in listening to her needs and knows his stuff. Thanks again for all your help Michael.

Great brand of running store; people are always friendly. I've attended a couple group runs and enjoyed meeting folks there. Only bought one pair of shoes so far though, but more will come

Walked in to purchase my first pair of running shoes in a few years. Cindy was great. She helped me take measurements of my feet and picked out three shoes to try on along with insoles. I ended up going with a new pair of Brooks and love them already. Highly recommend PR for all things running.

I came to Philadelphia Runner on two occasions and am thrilled with what I bought. Why did I find the right set of sneakers? Because the sales help know their products, listened well to my feet issues, and took the time to share a variety of styles, teaching me the differences as they went. From this educated space, I could then make the right choices. I will stick to this store!

Employees are very knowledgeable. Most are runners themselves and can be of assistance in picking out the correct shoe for your activity.

Was in search for a sturdy walking sneaker for upcoming trip. On my first visit I explained what I needed and was introduced to new and old brands. Tried them on and was on the fence for one pair. I asked them to be held and I would revisit in a few days. When I tried them on again I was still not 100% sure. I tried on one more - a brand I was not familiar with and bam! Perfect feel & fit. Very happy with their help and knowledge. Highly recommend you visit this store!

Wonderful experience here today! I believe the salesperson helping us out was Cameron. I came in thinking I knew what shoes I’d like, based on what I’ve heard of them, but I was given the right options and information to make a much better informed decision. The process of finding the right shoes for me was made easy, handled thoroughly & thoughtfully, resulting in such an encouraging experience.

I was a bit disappointed when I couldn't find the right color and size for the shoes I wanted. But the staff really went out of their way to help me out. They found an alternative shoe that fit me perfectly! I was really impressed with their exceptional service and friendly attitude. They made the whole process so much easier and enjoyable.

Thank you Philadelphia Runner for a great experience getting fitted for & purchasing running shoes. As a fat person just getting into running, I'll admit I was nervous to go in. I felt like a fraud and that I would be dismissed and shuffled out the door, BUT Michael was incredible!! From the moment I walked in, I was made to feel like I belonged there and I got a fab new pair of shoes that feel fantastic. Thank you a million times over. I will definitely be back!
