This place was so wonderful. The staff was very knowledgable and very helpful. The shoes were also well priced. I am so glad I went here to buy my new shoes.

They had shoes on display in the window that we had never seen before. The store was already closed by the time we had finished supper. We made a special trip to come back and shop. We were excited to walk in and had plans to purchase multiple pairs especially since Father’s Day is right around the corner—only to be met with “we don’t have that size in that”, “that’s the last one of those”, “we don’t have that either”, etc. ? So basically you just have a nice window display.

I recently bought a bright red pair of Brooks running shorts and my first run in them was stronger and faster than my run before going to Breakaway! I saw immediate results after shopping at Breakaway! Cannot recommend this place enough.

I love when I go to break away because I can talk with the associates about shoes and what was changed in the design depending on the ones that were the same brand as I do which is the Hoka I love those shoes. Maybe in a size 15 is always hard to find my size unfortunately the first time I came in they did not have my size but luckily for the gentleman that was helping me informed me that they will come in on Tuesday and if they would give me a call all I would need to do is leave my information and the shoe I was interested in was wrote now and they would call me. Unfortunately I never get a call until the following day they had some delays with delivery but that’s fine. Once they did arrive I went and talk to another associate and even carried on with a nice conversation which is great getting to know your customer. That’s one thing I will say when they come to the customer service they’re great they try to find out what you need and make sure you test out the shoe as well as their policies on return our post it and they’ll let you know at the same time while checking it out. I also go to Fleet Feet because of their machine that measures your feet and sells you a whole computer diagram so between both of them they’re both A1 if you need to go to either one please do and I’m quite sure vice versa would be said for Breakaway Running!

Breakaway Running is an awesome place for runners! Great inventory of shoes, clothing, and many other running accessories. Breakaway is a group of friendly and helpful running advocates, not just staff, and are defintely a big part of the community. These guys been around for decades and from what I hear and have hosted runs around midtown since the 90s, maybe even before. I often run with these guys on Thursday nights at 6PM for their Tour De Midtown run. It's a brief 3-4 mile run around the Overton Park and Evergreen community. Plently of people to run with and all with varying levels of running experience. While shopping for my latest pair of running shoes at Breakaway, I was given a thorough consultation and recommendations on shoes (I'm an overpronator). I felt bad for the lady who helped me because she brought out a boatload of shoes to try. However, it's all a part of the process to find the right shoe. I tried on and ran around the store several times before finding the Hoka Arahi 5s - pretty happy with them so far! Grateful for having been introduced to Breakaway Running and I am excited to continue my relationship with them!

I stopped into the store last week to buy a new pair of runners. As soon as I walked into the store Margaret greeted me, asked what I was looking for, and then brought out exactly the right thing for me to try. I described what I liked about the Altras I had been wearing previously and they knew exactly which pairs would meet my needs.This is exactly why I waited months to buy new shoes, just so I could return to Memphis for the "Breakaway experience". This team, selection and service are unmatched anywhere else!

I knew Breakaway had a great reputation but I was floored about just how amazing they were until I went in yesterday for a new pair of shoes. The current model of shoes I was running in was over 5 years old and Brian still knew immediately what they were and found me a perfect pair of shoes in another brand as a replacement.

All I really need yesterday was a pair of flip-flops so I didn't really need any help from staff. All I really saw was one basic pair, but I did witness the employees helping others and devoting time & attention to each customer which was extremely refreshing to see. The lady at checkout was very polite.Seeing how the customers were treated made me want to return there the next time I need a good comfortable pair of walking or running shoes.BTW the flip-flops I bought are so so comfortable & I Love them.

Jack was very helpful and patient while assisting me in finding a good pair of running shoes that would work for my training and my feet. He went above and beyond to make sure I knew my options and got the shoes that I wanted. Wonderful store!
