Top notch. This place is a fantastic resource for running, walking, trail blazing, and footwear gear. Whoever does their training needs a raise because the staff is so great. Friendly, knowledgeable, welcoming, and approachable. The store itself is small so if it’s busy you may have to wait until someone can help you, but it will be worth it to have a tailored experience. You’ll leave the store with more knowledge than you had walking in and your feet will be better for it. Thank you!

Philadelphia Runner is awesome. I bought a pair at the Center City location, wore them for a run, and realized I should have gotten a half size bigger. I was able to exchange them at the Manayunk location without any issue.

Philly Runner always top notch customer service. I've been a runner for 15+ years and have been coming to Philly Runner for almost 10 of those years. The staff knowledge is next to none and I always leave knowing I have the best fit for my foot.

Super impressed with the friendliness and knowledge of the staff. I'm a long-time Brooks running shoe fan and hadn't had luck with figuring sizing having ordered online, so went to their store to try some on. They really took the time to hear my concerns and informed me about the specifics of my old shoe vs the evolution of Brooks. They eventually introduced me to Altra after exhausting all options and I was blown away -- it was a much closer match to my old Brooks than any of the new Brooks. I'm very appreciative of the patience of the staff and sticking with it to the end! Thank you!!!!

Great service, fantastic staff. Love that they also collect your used shoes for recycling. They care about your health and the earth!

As a new runner the staff made me feel so comfortable when getting fitted for new running shoes. They were extremely knowledgeable and helped answer any questions I had. I really love my new running shoes and they have truly made a difference in that I feel less soreness after a good run.

Jessica was very very helpful to getting me new spikes. I wanted to return spikes and she allowed me to exchange them for other ones, being that it was within the 60 day limit. She was very nice and made the transaction very simple. She always kept me up to date with this whole process and was very patient with me. Thank you Jessica!!

Super helpful staff and great selection. The prices are what you'd find at bigger stores like REI or Footlocker, except those.places don't have the knowledgeable staff.

Shopping local not only gives you a good feeling that you’re helping a local business but they also are able to provide care and expertise you won’t find anywhere else. They ran (pun intended) me through all the different options given my prior shoe experience and my preferences. They were so attentive and helpful. I love going to Philly Runner!

Came in as a new runner with basically no shoe knowledge. Gagz treated me like a VIP and helped me find the right gear. Getting fitted for shoes by Gagz was like buying a guitar from Santana, what a legend. Now I'm signed up for the Philly Run Fest 10k. Will be returning here for gear in the future, for sure! Can't recommend highly enough.

Great customer service at the Manayunk store. Becca was extremely patient showing me many different shoes and even discovering I needed insoles.

My husband and I both had great experiences trying on and purchasing new running shoes from PR Manayunk. Staff is very knowledgeable. We will definitely purchase running shoes from PR again when we need them!

Living in Manayunk and working in Center City, I've always had several PR locations to count on. As such, I never truly called one home. Enter COVID and remote work and my already positive experiences with PR has continued to expand - almost exclusively at the Manayunk location.If you look at my other PR location reviews, you'll note the excellent, friendly staff as a theme. No different here. They will say hello and leave you be if you are just popping in to reload a few running necessities. They will drop nearly everything to help you find something. They know a thing or two about shoes, offer advice and suggestions on pretty much any running related product (and fitness in general), and do so without making it feel like a 'big sell'.The selection in the Manayunk store seems larger than the other locations in the city. I like the wall of shoes and the treadmill mid-store for testing them. Come on the right nights (non-COVID) and you'll find a run group ready to welcome you. The best part if how flexible they are with those groups and how they'll even keep the store open a bit longer for you to collect things post-run.Check them out. Might even see you around...
