The customer service here is amazing- Chase was extremely helpful and friendly. They had a great selection available in store but also will deliver the shoes to your home if the ones you want aren't in stock- I wanted a color they didn't have in store, and it was delivered the same day! read more

Ready to put my new running shoes to use tomorrow, the staff was very friendly and helpful!!

I definitely like these guys for these support of local runners. They sponsor free group runs via the Cbus Pacers group. While the new store doesn't have the parking of the old store's strip mall, there is plenty of parking on the street and a nearby lot north of the store. In this new location, they are much easier to find. read more

Columbus Running Company - Shoe Stores Near Me - Westerville, Ohio

Let me begin by saying--I'm not a runner. I'm pretending/trying to be. I've signed up to do a triathlon in July, so each week I become more of a runner. I've always gone to buy a cheap pair of cute running shoes and called it a day. But, since I broke both my feet in college, I found out the hard way that shoes really do matter when running since mine don't stand the pounding too well. I walked in to CRC with zero expectations. I am in Westerville a lot and I figured that since I was pretending to be a runner, I should go to a runner's store. I told the guys at the desk I had no idea what I was doing in there, but I felt I needed to buy big girl proper running shoes. The owner (I can't remember his name) immediately came to my rescue. He took the time to watch how I walked, looked at my feet, and brought about 10 different pairs of shoes out for me to try on. He listened to what I said, educated me on what I didn't know and helped me find a pair of shoes that I consider now a very smart purchase. These guys know their stuff and are very, very accomodating. I will continue to use them as my running gear headquarters. It's a small but mighty store with a great selection of shoes, gear and snacks to fit any level of runner. Even us pretenders. read more

This place remains my go-to athletic shoe store. When I first went there (in 2009), I had foot problems (plantar fascitis, bumps on my achilles tendons), but they worked with me to find something that would address those issues. I barely even remember that I had those problems, because I no longer suffer from them! The people there are wonderful. I'm by NO MEANS an athlete, but I've never felt judged or less than. They've always taken good care of me and made me feel comfortable and valued. Go! Go! Get thee to Columbus Running Company! read more

This is where customer service is King! I'm not a runner but a walker "of size." I went into the Store and was immediately greeted and waited on by one of the owners. He looked at my me shoes, asked me questions and bought me a few pairs until I found the right one. No hassle, just expertise. I felt just like I belonged there! Since I am new to the area he was fantastic to give me some places to try the trails. I'm a customer for life. Don't let the store size fool you- they have a vast selection. Worth every penny! read more

I dropped by here for the first time to pick up my Dublin Irish Fest 5k packet and figured I'd buy myself my first real pair of running shorts. As always, it's downtown Westerville, so parking can sometimes be squirrely. They do have a nice tiny lot right behind the store, though, so if you go mid-day as I did you'll have no problem. The store itself is fairly tiny (again: downtown Westerville). Their selection is mostly shoes, but they also have some clothes available. Not a huge selection...I was looking at maybe 7 pairs to choose from, and most did not have my size. There was just one gentleman working the store and he was with another customer helping him pick shoes. He seemed to be giving some quality services, but alas since there was just one guy there and picking shoes does take awhile, I decided to just randomly pick a pair of running shorts I thought I'd like, and go. If you need help, and you're willing to wait around for it (especially if you go during off-hours), then check it out! read more

I dealt with one of the owners, Eric, and a couple other employees. The whole group is polite, engaging, and super knowledgeable. It was an excellent experience. They even let my daughter get a treadmill workout in! read more

Personal service at it's best. Very pleased with the running shoes I bought and Mike's expert opinions on which shoes would work the best with my feet. Really happy I went here instead of the local big box store. read more

I recently purchased some running shoes for my Iron Man Triathlon. The store had a great selection and I found a pair that they recommended to me. They did not have it in a color that I liked so they called one of their other stores to get is brought over to my house. I asked how much extra that would cost. They explained no extra costs since we have a truck that can get them a deliver them to you in the next day or two. The truck showed up at my house 4 hours later with my new shoes. Totally stoked about the service they provide. Yes you can buy online cheaper but if you want service to go with your running supplies these guys are top notch. Dr John Moore read more

This store is hidden on state street in Westerville, however it is well worth looking for. I've been to a few running stores and I was well-fitted with a new pair of shoes after my gait was analyzed and needs were discussed. Prices are fairly reasonable and so is the selection. read more

I would highly recommend this running store to everyone. They have a wide variety of running essentials. As soon as you walk into the store there is someone always there to greet you with a friendly smile. If they don`t have your exact shoe size then they will order it for you and personally deliver to your house in their van. If you`re a veteran to running or even a beginner this is the place to come. read more

Bought my first pair of running kicks today after a broom ball-induced knee injury brought my running hobby to a dead stop 5 years ago. Before venturing into a running store I queried all my running friends about where they shop for shoes. A number of them mentioned Columbus Running Company (CRC). I was thrilled to learn CRC had a local presence in my 'hood. Upon entering the Westerville store with my bike, I was greeted by owner Matt DeLeon and his dog. I am a sucker for a dog any day. Matt took the necessary time with me to understand my needs, study my stride, and work with me to try on several (& I do mean several) pairs of kicks. I was encouraged to take them for a trial run in the parking lot but I settled for the air conditioned comfort of the store's treadmill. I eventually landed on a pair of Adidas SuperNova Glides. The price point was what I expected - $100.00. And there is a 30 day return period if needed. I'm a fan and I'll be back. As for the shoes, I've already logged 2 miles on these beauties. read more
