After usually going to Dicks to get shoes, I've learned this is a much better option. I have a super weird foot and have gone through a lot of shoes, ultimately wasting money. Quick and easy, tried on a couple different shoes using the process of elimination to get what works for my foot the best. read more

No longer the Chester County running store, this place has merged with Bryn Mawr Running. The staff are very friendly, knowledgeable and helpful. Of course the prices are high and you can probably get the same shoe online for less. However, it's important to get fitted for the proper running shoe. They have plenty of selection and the newest shoes. They also have scheduled runs if you're looking for a running group. It's a nice shop with nice staff. read more

Bryn Mawr Running - Sporting Goods Near Me - West Chester, Pennsylvania

Just what a local specialist store should be. Needing new running shoes, I thought about going to a specialist running store rather than just buying from a big box or online. The visit to Chester County Running Store was just what I was hoping for. After checking my gait, Kevin recommended I try the three shoes that my own online research had suggested would be right for someone over 200lbs and with a high arch. However, I found that I needed a larger size than I would have ordered online. Back at home, I went online and learned they had charged the same price I would have paid online. Less, if you consider the shipping charges. i.e. No extra cost for them being a local store and getting expert service. Also, dealing with runners who lead the local running community made me confident about a purchase that has a direct impact on my running performance and physical health. read more

Owned by runners, staffed by runners, stocked by runners, this local store is the heart of West Chester's running scene. Coach Kevin and his staff organize the local races, they put together classes and injury clinics, and they will take as much (or as little!) time as you need to select a pair of new shoes. Today, my wife and I stopped by to replace her Air Pegasus, which didn't have enough stabilization. The friendly, knowledgeable woman behind the counter watched my wife's gait, brought out a spectrum of choices, and compared her own experiences -- she had worn every shoe, and had helpful, relevant advice. Seriously, you wouldn't get this level of service in a flagship city store. CCRS is _fantastic_. read more

I always go here to get my running shoes and each time the employees are super attentive and I always feel like they actually care about giving me the right type of shoe. They are talkative and knowledgeable and every time I go, I walk out feeling confident in my new shoes. read more

I brought my 11 year old in who has issues with repeatedly straining her ankle. The staff was very knowledgeable, fit her perfectly for a pair of running sneakers and even taught her how to do the "runners knot". Several months later she's had no ankle issues! Very impressed! read more

I love this store. Besides the fact that it is right in the middle of West Chester and you can just walk or run to it, their customer service is fantastic. They always have at least a couple of people ready to help and they really go above and beyond in order to help you find the right shoe for you. Their prices are very competitive and they often provide good discounts on running products. read more

First of all, let me tell you about me. My wife (of 33 years) refuses to go shopping with me for running shoes because I am a picky pain in the a**!!! I buy cars faster than running shoes. Thank God for Ed (the manager). Ed is an absolute professional -- SUPERIOR CUSTOMER SERVICE. He is passionate about what he does and it shows. Store has a great variety to choose from and the prices are in line with other area running stores. Because of Ed, I will NEVER go anywhere else!!!!!!! read more

Great staff and great shoes! I worked at The Athlete's closet for five years selling running shoes (we were their rival, but had a friendly competition). Now that the Athletes Closet is closed I go here and am happy to support their business. They know their stuff for sure! read more

I love this place! Kevin is awesome and his weekly emails with all the races going on in the area are great. The people who work at the store are always helpful and nice. And I get a 10% discount because I'm a teacher! read more

Running and I have a fickle relationship. I often cheat on it with cycling, Pilates, piloxing, or some new fitness craze. Yet somehow running is always there for me when I just need to clear my head. Enter this amazing store which always has the perfect items to maintain my bumpy relationship. I've gotten new shoes to improve my form and lots of gear to adjust to any weather conditions (running and I always do it outside). Whenever I need to prove to running that I'm faithful and committed the Chester Co. Running store is always there to help. read more

Absolutely a pleasure to do business with whether you're a newbie runner or an elite runner. They're one of the very few places that locally carry Altra running shoes -- and this is at both their West Chester and Pottstown locations. Support local and shop RUN CCRS!!! read more
