“Ada was super sweet and so helpful! Came in looking for a running shoe for flat feet and I ended up finding a pair that feels like I’m walking on literal clouds! Can’t wait to come back for my next pair”
“Big shoutout to Rob and Liam for helping me buy my first personal fishing rod! No more borrowing from pops! I felt very welcome in the store. They have wonderful people there who have tried the products, are experienced in fishing, and a quality selection. I picked up a 8ft rod combo (M-H) that is versatile for land and boat fishing. I spent around $175 but they cut me some slack on pricing due to being a new customer. Thank you for passing on some of your fishing wisdom and also giving me a beautiful combo. I will be practicing the Alberto knot I was shown in the store.”
“I have been a customer of Foot Solutions in Norristown for the past 3 years working with Hugh. He is very knowledgeable and courteous business provider. He is passionate about what he is doing. Kudos to Hugh”
“I couldn’t be more pleased with Joe and Larry for their outstanding customer service and commitment to standing behind a proven product. I experienced an issue with my 0211 ST irons that was technically out of warranty, yet they went above and beyond—working directly with their team in Scottsdale to resolve my unique situation. I absolutely love the irons I was fitted for a couple of years ago, and my entire experience—from the initial fitting and sale to the post-purchase support—has been nothing short of exceptional. Thank you from the bottom of my heart ??”
“Been a customer for decades, two boys on state CC team all ran with shoes from Scott and team, as well as all my marathons. years later, my activity has switched, and have to say Will really helped me getting into shoe to help me where I need it, the Topo's are really helping my during the day and night. been getting a night's sleep, thinking i found the shoe that helps! Thank you Scott for continuing to help people from all walks and runs of life! Shout out to Will and Zach, Thanks! Bob Stauring”
“Dan and his team are absolutely amazing. If you ever need anything custom made, Custom Creations is the place to go! They will work with you to make your idea a reality.”
“Dealt with both Nick and Jason on two separate visits. Both are knowledgeable and very helpful! Very pleasant experience! A lot of people think of going to the big box stores for sneakers, at The Running Place you get much better service and the sneakers are the same price! They have a nice selection of sneakers and they can also order sneakers they may not have in store! Return policy is exceptional!!! Highly recommend!!!”
“The BEST customer service! Everyone was so helpful, knowledgeable and flexible. Sam helped me with everything and didn’t make me feel rushed. She was great with my littles that I had to bring along with me. It was an incredible experience! Will definitely go back!”
“White glove service. Fitz Sized a bike for me and offered The opportunity to try it out in the neighborhood. He helped me with a helmet and lights and a bike rack. The bike seems perfect for me and I was easily able to remove it from the bike rack of my car when I arrived home. I had so much fun riding that bike. Wish I had bought one sooner. I felt like a little kid at Christmas. Even though it’s December, I will be out riding tomorrow, Confident that I have Everything I need for a fun time. Thank you so much for the Expert help.”
“I had a pointe shoe fitting after many years away from the art. What a lovely experience! Meredith took so much time to find the right solution to for my crazy feet. Also her encouragement and enthusiasm was infectious! I loved shopping at this store and being so convenient to the dance studio, will now be a regular stop! Many thanks for a wonderful experience ?”
“I visited Born To Run in October 2024, after a coworker recommended I check out the store while I was looking for a new pair of running shoes. With Hilary’s (and her sweet dog’s!) help, I bought a pair of Saucony Triumphs. Now that I’ve put some mileage on them over the past months, I’m ready to leave a review.
Having just started running in March 2024 and moving to Philadelphia from out of state in August 2024, it’s safe to say that I had absolutely no idea what I was looking for in a new pair of running shoes. My visit to Hilary’s store was my first time buying a pair of running shoes—before that, I’d just been using my all-around walking shoes. Hilary was generous enough to share her time, knowledge, and expertise with me. First, she had me do a running test to figure out where my feet were striking the ground. Then, she gathered an assortment of many shoes, and guided me through trying them on. She even educated me about shoe sizing—and I learned that I’d be better off wearing a half size smaller than I was previously used to. I landed on a pair of Saucony Triumphs. Throughout the process, Hilary was friendly and kind. When she learned I’d just moved to Philadelphia from out of state, she even recommended some local running groups I could get involved with to help me find a sense of community with other runners in the area.
Months later, after having run in the Saucony Triumphs for a while, I’m quite happy with my purchase. The shoes took a while to break in, but once broken in, they transitioned into a smooth ride. I’ve been especially pleased with Hilary’s recommendation to go a half size down from what I’d normally wear. I’ve never been known for my athleticism—I’m pretty clumsy and can tend to wobble a bit while running. I’ve found, though, that the half size smaller shoes hold a bit tighter to my foot—while still giving them enough space to breathe—and helps to stabilize me while I’m running. That was quite the pleasant surprise!
All around, I was thoroughly happy with my experience working with Hilary at Born To Run. While I’ve since moved back to the state I originally moved to Philadelphia from, I would support Born To Run again in a heartbeat if I still lived in the area. Keep up the great work, Hilary—you helped this new runner find his way about the trail, and that’s much appreciated!”
“Had a great experience purchasing shoes here! There was an issue with USPS delivering the shoes, but Wendy with Bryn Mawr Running Company was so kind and helpful and quickly sent out a replacement. Excellent customer service and great shoes!”
“I have owned Streamlight flashlights for decades. I have all types from tactical firearm mounted ones, to pocket lights, to full size rechargeable ones. They have always performed great and are incredibly bright!
I also want to give a shout out to say how awesome their customer service is. I lost a clip off of one of my small lights and called to purchase a replacement. They were very helpful and are shipping a replacement one out tomorrow. It is things like this that makes customers for life.”

“I was helped by Sophia on 6/16. I needed some things for my daughter to start softball and Sophia was really patient with me - I really had no idea what I was doing, having a truely bad day and didn't have my child with me. She found all the right sizes and I didn't have to come back to resize anything! She was great and found me the helmet in the size and color I knew my kiddo would love. Thank you Sophia!!!!”
“Great selection and very helpful staff. I demoed a few different racquets over a few days to see which I liked playing with and then bought my favorite. It was strung the same day of purchase too! Bought it in the morning and picked it up that afternoon. Park in the lot around the corner and behind the store. Parking in front gets congested.”
“I've been to your store several times and have always thought service was terrific. On my most recent visit, when my wife was wandering around looking for something, I told her that the service was generally very good here. No sooner did I say that that one of your associates said to me, how may I help you. It couldn't have been timed any better. She was quite helpful as was another associate when he had to go to the back and find a larger sweat shirt. I told your associates on the way out that your customer service should be the model for all retailers. If this were the case, less people would be going to Amazon and more retailers would be staying in business. Please keep up the good work.”
“Great rink. I learned to skate here. Not via their classes, but the public skates, which was hard. But I am getting better. The staff is friendly, and they have a decent schedule with ice shaving during public skates. The parking kinda stinks though, and the bathrooms are really small. I also don't like most of the music played (but that's just me. I don't like pop)”

“OMG! This store is the BEST! KEITH is the Best! Today my daughter had a lacrosse clinic (she's 10) & we couldn't find her face guard, mouth guard & her cleats didn't fit! The clinic started at 9:30 in Springfield. We were at the store at 9:30 & it didnt open til 10....BUT Keith let us in & in record time fitted my daughter with everything & she was on the field by 10 (& not missing a lot). THANK YOU KEITH!”
“Great selection of Patagonia and Yeti goods. I always find something here for my adult children. And, the staff and dog are super friendly too! A must visit when in Wayne, PA!”
“I spent nearly a month trying to track down a replacement battery for my REI Co-op Generation e1.1, they’re discontinued and nearly impossible to find. Curtis in the bike shop went completely above and beyond. He took the time to explain exactly how my battery works, why there’s a supply issue, and then actually located a used one for me. He was patient, knowledgeable, never rushed, and made sure I understood everything. This is the kind of customer service you rarely see anymore. Thank you Curtis!”
“B&E has been providing our company with apparel for 10+ years and they always exceed our expectations with quality and turnaround times. Philadelphia Catering appreciates you and will continue to come back time and time again!!!!!”
“Couldn’t have done a better job. Definitely recommend especially with the customer service that you receive. From the minute you walk in and to the time that you get the items. The service is worth every penny. My end products with all items I received are great! Thank you.”
“solid place if you are looking for heavily discounted New apparel and shoes. Purchased 6 know brand t shirts and a nike airmax shoes for a total of 100$.
Superior than going to a used clothing store for discounts or a Marshalls that caters to the age 60+ crowd.”
“Three weeks ago, I had a positive experience at this store due to the exceptional service. Unfortunately, proximity issues led me to Willow Grove, which failed to meet my expectations, resulting in a regrettable decision. Consequently, I will not be shopping at this store again. However, the North Wales store team demonstrated exceptional service skills, particularly Keria, Eva, and Shane. Their efforts are appreciated, and I commend them for their outstanding service, looking forward to my next visit.”
“The customer service was exemplary. From the young lady who gave us a warm welcome, the 2 young men that helped us with our selection, the associate who blessed us with a discount ?, and the pleasant cashier. Sadiq (i may have spelled his name wrong) but he was very helpful and knowledgeable. ????????”
“I was so pleased to find this wonderful little gem, with its esoteric collection of fly tying materials at very fair prices.
At first glance this shop doesn’t look like much, but that’s because unlike more modern retail spaces set up to optimize display, its interior is densely packed with well organized materials storage (see pics).
As noted on the sign out front, “hours are by appointment or by chance,” but given that I managed to pop by on a Monday without ringing ahead and picked up a number of little things I needed - including dubbing wax, poly post materials, thread, and some little tying tools - for less than I would have paid at a big name shop, I was both very pleased and convinced that I’ll be returning (though next time I’ll call ahead).
There’s also a nice selection of new and used rods and reels for the angler who needs more.
Definitely worth a visit.”
“This place is full of cheap, great working sports equipment. The sales are amazing, definitely a worthwhile stop especially if you're looking for good quality merchandise for a fair price. I've bought my cleats here, in addition to my everyday Brooks. Their shoe selection is amazing.”
“Had a great time at Wave One! They had an awesome selection of jerseys—cool designs and really good quality. The staff was super helpful, and the whole place had a fun, laid-back vibe. Definitely worth a stop!”
“I brought in my younger brother who doesn’t know how to ride a bike and was a little nervous picking out a bike and trying it out. The worker who helped us was very friendly and encouraging and helped him feel a little more confident!”
