We buy all our running shoes at RMRS, but today I got especially exceptional customer service from one of the owners. She helped fit my special needs son with a pair of shoes to give him more stability despite his toe walking. Thank you!!

Visiting Charlottesville and UVA realizing I should have packed a better pair of sneakers for walking pavement and not just my trail runners for the park. Was happy to discover RMR while out getting some breakfast. The folks that work at this store are all clearly very passionate and incredibly well educated on the science of running and the anatomy of our bodies in conjunction to the huge variety of shoes on the market and their individual purposes.While there I witnessed other customers getting world class help in finding the perfect shoe for them. I left with an awesome pair of sneakers I otherwise may have overlooked if it weren’t for their help. I then walked 10 miles in them later that day. My feet/legs and rest of my body felt great and I’m very grateful I came across and could support this locally owned shop! Thanks to the folks that helped me out!

I went in about 4 weeks ago to get help fitted for new running shoes as I am training for my first half marathon in March. I was SO lucky to have gotten Mark to help me as I've heard countless stories about how amazing he is. He definitely lived up to them as he not only was able to fit me for the right shoes but also created a personalized running schedule to help make sure I'm feeling like "Queen Kong" at the finish line. I went in feeling nervous as my 6 miles that morning were a bit rough, but left feeling motivated and excited. Having just run 10 this morning and feeling like Princess Kong, I am beyond excited for my first race. HUGE thank you to Mark and this shop!!!

Thank you to the entire staff for all your help finding me the RIGHT pair of running sneaks! Mark, the owner, and his entire family reminds me of growing up in the 80s and you had the opportunity to be a valued customer that stores used to care about not just another sale.

Went to a big box sporting goods store to find a good walking sneaker .. the "salesperson" brought me a box and said " here" and walked away .. that's it.Went to Ragged Mountain .. the difference between the 2 experiences was EXTREME polar opposite. Mark and Cynthia could not be more attentive, knowledgeable, kind or professional. Cynthia had me walk, try two different Hoka sneakers, discussed support, why one was better than the other .. and then try on 3 different sizes until we got it right. Will go back for a spikeless running shoe that can be used as a golf shoe.If you're looking for a running. walking or everyday comfort, go to Ragged Mountain .. parking in back of store (hopefully). They are the BEST Cville has to offer.

Could not recommend more! Mark was very personable, enthusiastic, and knowledgeable. The store was very busy when I went (lunchtime on Thursday), but he and the rest of the staff did a nice job balancing all the customers they had with quality, patient, personable service. Great inventory as well. Will absolutely come here for my next pair of running/walking shoes to both support a local business and because they’re the best!
