    Happy walking feet
    Teresa B.

    I absolutely love this place! I bought my last pair of shoes for walking (I walked 2 to 3 miles or more most days) through REI/clearance, I will never again make this mistake! I am currently on a walk (about 7 miles) wearing shoes that I purchased at athletic outpost! The customer service is fantastic, the folks that work there pay great attention to detail and make sure you leave with shoes that fit you perfectly. I tried on several pairs, and decided on these beauties! It is without reservation that I recommend this establishment for anyone who is looking for walking, running shoes!

    My new Mizuno's!

    Always great service and selection! They even replaced my shoes after 3 weeks when they got a hole without any hassle. They have my loyalty.

    They did not have my size in black, so Tim immediately put in the order and called me one he received them.

I…read morestarted going here about five years ago and wished I'd been coming here much sooner They take their time with customers. They work hard to ensure good fit. And it's worth the wait. I've never had more comfortable shoes out of the box ever. Friendly & competent. Couldn't ask for more than that. Highly recommend.

    I was referred here by my foot Dr to get fitted for better shoes last month. Melissa was a big help…read morein finding a really good pair for me. I got on this cool machine that evaluated my feet which would help her find the proper fitting shoes based on my feet. Pretty cool! She also was able to email it to me so I have for future reference. She brought out 4 pairs of sneakers for me and inserts that would help my feet feel more supported in them. And they really do make a difference. I opted for the Hokas - I was really trying not to get them but they were the most comfortable ones out of the 4. The inserts are expensive and so are Hokas but I did get them so my feet can get relief. Update: I have worn them several times, it does take a bit of getting used to walking in them but these shoes hug my feet and it takes the pain away. It's definitely a different feeling from the other sneakers I've been wearing (Allbirds) which I loved but found I needed much better support. This place has wonderful shoes, supportive flip flops (Oofos), sandals, inserts and pretty handbags as well. So thank you Melissa for your help that afternoon and being very patient and so knowledgeable.

    Never in a million years did I think I'd find myself shopping in a running store... yet here we…read moreare. Stopped into Road Runner Sports in Concord looking for a new shoe for my upcoming Presidio race and ended up having a really great experience. I was greeted immediately and helped by Travis, who walked me through their foot analysis process. They have a scanner that provides a detailed report on your foot size, gait, arch type, and overall movement patterns. It was fascinating to see all the information and learn more about how I walk and train. After trying several options, I went with the Nike Pegasus 42, and they are incredibly comfortable. I also signed up for their VIP Family program, which includes discounts on purchases and a 90-day return policy, making it easy to feel confident about the investment. The store carries a great selection of running, walking, and athletic shoes for both men and women, along with apparel, supplements, socks, and accessories. The experience was so good that I actually went back the next day and picked up the cutest running hat that says "Cheaper Than Therapy Run Club." I fully plan on wearing it to the race. On my second visit, Alberto helped me and provided the same excellent customer service. I also learned about their weekly community run/walk club, which meets Thursdays at 6 PM and utilizes the nearby Iron Horse Regional Trail. It's open to runners, walkers, families, kids, and even dogs, making it a welcoming option for all fitness levels. Overall, a fantastic experience and a great resource whether you're a seasoned runner or someone just beginning their journey.

    I've always had an incredible experience here and this time it was thanks to Marcos. We came in to…read morefind shoes for my mother-in-law, and the level of care he provided was truly exceptional! Marcos was incredibly patient and genuinely caring throughout the entire process. He noticed my mother-in-law was wearing a 7.5 wide and although it was a good fit, suggested an 8 wide instead to better accommodate her feet. And it was! She felt more balance and less tension and it showed on the treadmill when she was able to increase her MPH. He didn't just stop at the size, though; he performed a full walking analysis and constantly monitored her stride to ensure the fit was perfect. Even though the store was incredibly busy, Marcos never rushed us. He must have gone back and forth to the stockroom at least a dozen times to pull different options, knowing full well we were only there to buy one pair. He personally swapped her insoles into every single shoe she tried on--and we probably went through about 8 different pairs in various sizes. His expertise really shines when he talks about the technical side of things, like toe-gap and overall comfortability. On top of the technical fit, he has a great eye for aesthetics; he picked out colors that perfectly matched my mother-in-law's personal style. It's rare to find this kind of dedicated service. We will definitely be coming back to see Marcos when it's time to get shoes for my wife!

    My husband and I stopped in on a busy holiday weekend for me to make an online exchange for…read moredifferent sizes and for my husband to try on some shoes. Seeing that there was already a large group trying on shoes that both of the employees were helping, I was expecting to have to wait awhile to be helped which was fine (especially since I had 4 pairs to exchange and knew that would take some time). However we were only browsing for a few minutes when Carisa, one of the store leaders, paused to welcome us in and asked if there was anything we needed. I explained the exchanges I was looking to do, and she quickly grabbed me what they had in store for me to try and similar styles for what they didn't have an exact match of. After helping me, she noticed my husband had a pair in hand and offered to grab him sizes as well. She gave us advice on sizing and checked in multiple times while still assisting the other employee with the large group. While my Husband was trying on his shoes, Carisa rang up my exchanges (which included ordering multiple pairs that were only online) and made everything so seamless. She was so kind and helpful, and we left with 2 more pairs than we were expecting to. We will definitely be returning to this location!

    if I could give this place no stars I would. I walked into this store with my mom and my nephews…read more this this was our first time my mom really wanted to try on shoes and hopefully buy some that she'll enjoy for work. when entered NO ONE greeted us and when we sat in the store for roughly 15 minutes we were not even glanced at or even asked if we needed help when holding a shoe. I waited to find a help member and no one was around. A When we were about to leave but waited a couple more seconds to see if we'll get help and new customers walked in and was helped right away. I am really DISAPPOINTED with this customer servic. As someone who worked in retail, especially shoes I have NEVER been in such a horrible environment.

    Clown prices!!! Everything is overpriced, even higher than the resell market. Don't waste ur time…read moreor money.

    I bought Jordan 4 black canvas in July and I found out they actually cost $210 (retail cost) alone…read more At the time the seller told me he would sell the shoes for $450 but they charged me around $568 however the receipt doesn't tell me what the extra charge was. Didn't say if it was taxes or shipping. They told me the estimated time for arrival was supposed to be a week but even after two weeks nothing arrived. We texted the seller as well as called and he never picked up until we tried from a different phone number in which the seller told us that it was ready for pick up, but by this point we just wanted a refund. We sent a claim to the bank and when the bank tried to investigate the store told the bank that the shoes were picked up in store during purchase but that's not true. So we called the seller again and he said that the shoes were in store and sitting in the stock room with no name or information of the client. I know that in Macys if the merchandise is not picked up within two months that the employees can keep whatever was bought. That might be the case here as well. This is after two months as well. I decided I'll just go to the store and pick them up despite the fact that the store is 3 hours away. When I asked why there was extra chargers they told me it was due to taxes but the taxes said 0 then they back tracked saying it was shipping except they never did ship it or refund the shipping cost.They never were able to explain why the extra charges were made. The manager ended up calling the original seller who apparently had told me that the shipping cost was because they shipped the shoes from their LA store to the Walnut Creek store and that it would cost me more which is ridiculous considering the library doesn't even charge for that. They didn't tell me that I would be charged for between stores. The cherry on top is that the shoes are creased, and I was charged an extra $118. An extra 118??? Despite being so inconvenienced by the situation?? Don't buy from them, they are poorly managed, very unprofessional and a scam. This has caused me so much stress, and it was supposed to be a happy occasion as it is a gift for my son. This has also caused him stress since he knows about the whole situation.
