Only shoe store we ever go to for sport shoes. Employees know shoes and know what they are doing and give the best advice anywhere.

First time here. Staff was sort of dismissive. two guys working and only seemed to want to talk to the men on the store.

I am not a runner but wanted 'big girl shoes' for the 1st time in my life. These guys know their stuff about shoes!! They have a great selection and the store is kept nice and clean and organized. He analyzed my feet w the machine, recognized I need extra space in the toe box and pulled out many pairs for me to try. He prepared them all so it went really fast and I ultimately bought 2 pairs of Brooks. Less than a month later I got my 1st broken bones ever at 48! I broke my ankle and foot missing a stair in the dark barefoot. I thank the guy who helped me daily as I recover w my Brooks!!! They are so comfortable and supportive. My feet are very happy! read more

I'm honestly sad writing this but I want to share my experience so hopefully the owner will learn from it. I just want to shout out the sales associate CHARLIE, what a really lovely young man. He 100% killed it my first time coming to the store a few days ago, he didn't make me feel pressured to buy and he was very lovely to work with. Found some awesome brooks and nice insoles for me and I was set to go, unfortunately the only thing I was still pondering on, was the fact that they didn't have any black or white shoes in my size for the shoes we were looking for and I wasn't made aware at the time of purchase that they could have ordered a different color. So I bought these light blue brooks, I looked past the color because they felt amazing (the color only matters because I wear bright pink scrubs and I wanted neutral colored shoes to match) After I bought the shoes from Charlie I had gone to the Exchange on base to go shopping and happened to stumble upon the same shoe but in Black AND $40 cheaper and tax free... in today's society that's a steal! I had called the store back asking for Charlie before I bought the shoes on base so I could see if they maybe had the shoes but on line for me and the guy I spoke to said no they only had the new version of the brooks I bought in black, however I had never tried that shoe on so I didn't want to risk not liking the newer version so I said okay hung up and bought the shoes on base. Today Friday 12.15.23 I went into the store and was greeted by Charlie and the owner I smiled and told Charlie he was going to hate me and he said why, I had awkwardly and very nervously explained I found a better choice for my self else where and needed to return the shoes I bought, I had still kept the insoles I bought from the store though. The owners smile quickly faded as I explained I went and bought shoes else where and he began to make a comment along the lines of "well we could have gotten you a pair of black ones, you know to support your local small business" .... Usually I would have corrected somebody immediately but I almost felt ashamed for returning something that wasn't a good fit for me anymore that I spent my hard earned money on. The entire time he was refunding me ; the owner didn't look in my direction and didn't even speak when I was trying to make small talk. Had the owner been more mindful of the fact that the customer is what matters and that I was able to find the right shoe for me whether it be from his business or not I would 100% would have bought another pair right then and there because I'm in need of workout shoes. But because of the very dry and almost demeaning way he acted towards me because I found a better shoe for me AND at a better price... I won't be coming back most likely ... and if I do decide to purchase here again it will solely be my experience with Charlie. When I had made a comment "sorry I disappointed you by returning the shoes" after no words were exchanged after I told the owner I needed to return that's when the owner responded saying "hey it just didn't work out".. but clear the demeanor was 100% different from when I met him a few days ago when I was spending close to $300 at his store, well yea of course he found time to be nice and engage in conversation with me. Thanks again Charlie , and to the owner hopefully next return you will go easy on the customer. read more

Staff were helpful, friendly and patient. Huge selection of shoes and gave great recommendations. Prices are very reasonable and they offer military discounts. Highly recommend checking this store out if you're looking for a new pair of running shoes. read more

Don't like putting negative reviews but here it goes. We came from out of town and found this place. It said you run on a treadmill to see your running technique etc etc. this didn't happen. The guy didn't help tie my shoes, check to see if the toe length was correct, when I said my foot was lifting from the shoe he had no idea after I explained it several times. Very upsetting. For a running store they need to do better. read more

I was visiting Beaufort on temporary duty and was badly in need of some good running shoes. I'm stationed in Quantico Virginia and I do a lot of running with Officer Candidates (roughly 15-20 miles a week). My feet are practically flat which makes purchasing the right running shoe very difficult. I stopped in at Grounded Running yesterday and from the very start Tim was courteous and helpful. He actually took the time to understand my struggles with purchasing shoes that will provide the best support and stability when I run. After analyzing my feet he brought 4 different types of shoes for me to try on. I can honestly say that it was a tough choice between those 4 pairs of shoes because they all fit great! He even had me run up and down the sidewalk outside to get a better feel for them. I finally found the perfect pair of shoes and I just ran about 3 miles in them today and they are amazing! Tim was very knowledgeable and very patient with me! I recommend this store to anyone who is an active runner and in need of a new pair of great running shoes!! read more

They'll be very nice and then super disinterested if you express that you might not be ready to buy. Good place if you're ready to pay and you're not too picky. Otherwise you may be disappointed with their attitude. read more

My wife and I had our first Grounded Running Beaufort experience today. OMG, was I ever impressed. Tim was so knowledgeable and friendly. Jaime was in desperate need of new kicks and Tim assisted her in getting the perfect pair of shoes. I was so impressed that I too bought shoes. The only bad news is that I have no more excuse to not get off the couch. Thank you Mr. Tim, we definitely will be back. read more

Can't believe I'm the first review for this place, what I believe to be Beaufort's only true running shoe store. I am no professional runner by any means, but am training for a short run with a friend and needed some new kicks to replace my old pair. Wow what a difference a new pair of shoes makes - I had no idea! Caitlin and Steven were personable, professional, and extremely knowledgeable. I got a professional fitting specific to my foot anatomy and running style. They carry numerous brands but I ended up with some awesome New Balance running shoes after trying several out with my stride. Couldn't have asked for a better experience. Sure you could maybe find a big box somewhere if you drove half an hour, but why would you do that when you can get tailored, professional, one-on-one help from Grounded Running? We're lucky to finally have a running shop of this caliber here in Beaufort, and I will definitely be back next time I need a pair of running (or cross training) shoes. Recommended. read more
