These guys are awesome. I bought a pair of Brooks and stepped on a rock which punctured the sole. I almost didn't do anything about it because it wasn't South Sound Running's fault. I decided to call and see what could be done. They replaced the shoes, no problem. I am impressed. I am telling everyone how great South Sound Running is.

Recently started going back to the gym and needed a good pair of working out shoes. This store has actual shoes salesmen that look at your feet and determine the best size and fit. Took maybe 10 minutes and a couple different options and I left as a very happy customer. Prices are reasonable and the atmosphere of the store is relaxing. Would strongly recommend and will be back when I need my next pair.

I wear size 15 so it is incredibly difficult for me to find a store that actually has my size in stock in basically any shoe. They had multiple shoes in my size so that I was actually able to try on and compare shoes for what feels like the first time in my life. If you have big feet and struggle to find shoes like I do, I HIGHLY recommend this place. Literally life changing.

Took my daughter in to buy her first pair of running spikes for HS Track. Like all other reviews, we received great service and expertise on the shoes. My concern going in was price since usually you have to pay a bit more for the trade off... but to my surprise the shoes where cheaper(15% discount for students) then the big box store we visited and didn't buy. Support local and go here first.

I've started to get into fitness again, and challenged myself to run a 5k event. I attempted to practice running, which I haven't done in a long time, around my neighborhood but would get crippling shin splints after only a few minutes. I stopped in here a few days before my 5k and bought a new pair of shoes. The man helping me observed how my feet land when walking/running and suggested shoes according to where I needed the most support. He was very informative about the three pairs I tried and pointed out the differences in each shoe and the benefits of the design. I ended up purchasing the first pair he had me try on, which were the Women's New Balance 860s. I ran my 5k a few days later and was able to maintain a jog the entire time! I did experience shin splints, but not nearly at the level I had before, as this time I was able to push through the discomfort where it would usually be pain. My feet felt like they were hitting the ground correctly and the shoes absorbed so much of the impact they seemed to propel me forward. I didn't expect a new pair of shoes to cure my shin splints, I know that will happen over time, but I was utterly impressed with the difference it made instantly. I am very grateful we have a running store here in Olympia with such knowledgeable and helpful staff!

Maia put me in a great shoe, was super patient, so informative and helped a lot with my decision making. She also ended up teaching me a lot in the small frame of time that I was there and we found the perfect shoe for me. 10/10 would recommend

Very knowledgeable and helpful staff! I am starting to run following a knee surgery and just bought a pair of shoes online. I wanted to verify that I'm in the correct shoe. After trying another pair on in the store, the salesman concluded that I'm currently already in the right shoe. He didn't try to sell me anything additionally and I walked out knowing I have the right shoe and spending $0. They've earned my trust for future sales!

Super helpful staff, 10/10 on customer service. Hopefully the shoes work well for me, but if they don't there's a good return policy.
