Huge shoutout to Owen! My man checked me to make sure I was getting the right shoe based off my feet and style. He was super friendly, and knowledgeable in regards to all things running. I am looking forward to coming back! I walked away with Hoka Clifton 10s & a little something to help my runs. It was a great value and they had a great selection! read more

Wayne helped me with years of knee pain. I'm not a runner but I am very active at work and spend most of my day on concrete floors. His advice and the shoes he sold me were spot on. I wish he sold work boots. If you are dealing with pain it would not hurt to see what Wayne recommends. read more

Stopped by Lonestar Running Company with a guest from Italy, and we had a really solid experience. Wayne, the owner and athlete, was super helpful and clearly knows a lot about running shoes. What made it even better was that he's from Fort Worth and gave us some great suggestions for spots to go on morning runs. The shop has a cool vibe--friendly, not pretentious at all. If you haven't been, it's definitely worth checking out, whether you're a serious runner or just looking for a good pair of shoes. read more

Everyone here is great. Wayne really knows what shoe fits your feet the best. I had an issue with a pair of shoes and he went above and beyond to help me. Really knowledgeable and has the best customer service. Wants to make sure his customers are happy. Thanks so much!!! read more

What a great experience buying a pair of HOKA shoes! This is going to be my Go To store. Walking into the store I was blown away by the very large assortment of makers, colors and construction of running shoes in the store; don't be fooled by the size. My entire experience was fun. Wayne, the proprietor helped address concerns related to my knee and ankle surgeries. He assessed my pronation and checked my feet for sizing, including the size I've been wearing. He brought out HOKA's Bondi 8's and increased my shoe size to 11 from 10! Holy Cow, what a difference...my dogs immediately stopped barking. When knowledge, insight, experience and guidance come together for the type of solution I was looking for means VALUE for me. By the way, his canine posse was in-house and I just loved it! Thank you Wayne, next time I go there I'll bring a couple of biscuits for your beasts. read more

This place is great. I've had some problems with my feet, and Wayne had me walk around and immediately identified what was wrong. He then explained what kind of shoes I needed and proceeded to show me a variety of brands and styles, only after he measured my feet. I've been wearing his recommended shoes for almost a month now, and all my back and feet problems are gone. The shoes are great quality for a good price. There are many styles and brands to choose from, along with socks, snacks, and even water bottles. Wayne is personable and friendly. He'll even let you say hi to his dogs at the back of the store. read more

Very helpful and knowledgeable. Willing to listen to my particular needs and offered suggestions.

Great customer service with a team that treats me like family here. I definitely needed that new tire! The whole team kicks butt! read more

I came into the store looking for some shoes to train in for my second marathon. Rico fitted me with 4 pairs of shoes, 3 of which were Mizunos! I ran my first race in their wave riders, so I was happy that he was recommending the same brand. I told him I was coming off of a foot fracture, and he analyzed my walk with such expertise. He watched me walk in all of the shoes I had tried on. I felt like the first pair I had weren't keeping my weight centered in my foot, and he could definitely tell. I had made up in my mind that I was stuck between two kinds of Mizunos, and I told Rico that I would not be making a decision yet. After returning home and checking the Mizuno website, I decided that Lone Star Running Co. and Rico deserves my business! I came back to buy a pair the next day. Unfortunately, Rico wasn't there but the store owner helped me out with my purchase. He had me try on two sizes, and agreed on the size that Rico had previously recommended. If you are in need of a pair of running shoes, whether for a race, walking, or leisure, then come to Lone Star to help you figure out which shoe is best for you. They know what they're doing and can tell you what kind of shoe is most appropriate for your routine! read more

Been a long distance runner for the last decade, and have had serious plantar fasciitis issues for the last four years, and have gone just about everywhere looking for knowledgable assistance. My time at Lone Star was some of the most helpful, lowest pressure appointments I've ever had. Got great shoes and really helpful training/injury prevention tips all in one trip! read more

When I began running back in the mid 80s my go to store for shoes was The Runner in Arlington with Don and Sally Zetnick as I could count on Don to help me into the right shoes. With his and Sally's deaths I have gone from pillar to post most recently dealing with the now gone Fort Worth Running Co. Today looking for new shoes for my wife we stopped at Lone Star where we were helped by Wayne. He is amazing. He provided us with the most helpful information and advice regarding running shoes that we have ever received. Terrific buying experience. Cannot recommend highly enough. Our big time go to store now. read more

I've been going to Lone Star for a few years when I first started running. I started having issues with my ankle and knees. I came in and he recommended some ASICS and I loved them. This where I'll continue going for all my running shoes. read more

I came in today and met the owner and Herbie. The owner helped me greatly. I have plantar fasciitis and my feet tilt inward. He pointed out how my feet tilt and we tried on three different shoes to help with my issues. He also helped a couple of other customers who came in as well. He was good at making sure everyone was taken care of. He was very knowledgeable. I have a great new pair of shoes and inserts and I can already tell it's working. Thanks for all of your help! read more

Amazing customer service ! We love supporting local when we can . I'm a small business owner as well and the service and knowledge where top notch . Will definitely be back ! read more

My Podiatrist told me to go here & was I happyBest Customer Service Ever. Guy knows his stuff‼

I came in today to look for some new walking shoes. I am diabetic and have neuropathy in my feet due to chemo and being diabetic. I had bunion surgery when I was 12, lately had plantar fasciitis on my left foot, and ulcer on my right big toe. Tim came around the corner and was a huge life saver for my feet. He explained what shoe would work for my feet. I needed a wide toe box (which I didn't know what that was), and he explained about wearing a straight flat shoe without any lift in the heel area. First time in years I had my foot measured for shoes. I was afraid since I have issues with my foot that I would have to take a loan out to get good shoes for my feet. I didn't, Tim found a great pair of shoes that fit nice and didn't have to apply for a loan. My feet left happy and felt great all day. Thank you Tim for AWESOME service and I will definitely be back for my next new pair of athletic walking shoes. Thank you also for helping my 92 yr old mother out the door with her walker. Very kind. read more

The customer service is amazing. Got a friendly greeting as soon as we entered and they were incredibly helpful in fitting my wife for running shoes. We will definitely be coming back when it's time for my next pair of Brooks. read more

The guy who helped me was very knowledgeable and gave me many options to choose from based on my needs, I ended up with a very nice and comfy pair of shoes for everyday wear! I will definitely recommend this place to all of my friends and family in need of tennis shoes. read more

Amazing store. The owner helped us and I walked out with much less pain than what I arrived in. He took his time to get us in the right shoes even though several other customers arrived while we were there. AND we got to meet Herbie the winder dog read more

OMG!! Thank you Wayne!! I had MAJOR foot surgery three months ago and now need new shoes for work, where I am walking and/or standing a large portion of the day. Unfortunately, my doctor said I will have to wear flats/athletic/running shoes from now on. My physical therapist said I needed to go to a store where the staff knew there stuff because of my new foot issues. While I was looking at shoes on-line, I came across Lone Star Running & Walking Company. They are not far from my home so decided to start my search there. Wow, am I glad I did!! From the moment my husband and I walked in the door to when we left, we felt that my "foot well-being" mattered to Wayne. He took the time to explain pronation and why my arch hurt AND ALSO figured out that my "good" foot has gained a size (now a 12). He went right to the shoe that fit my needs. He took the time to honestly listen to me!!! How often do you find that in ANY kind of retail anymore!! If you have any kind of foot issues and you are in the market for or need new "tennie" shoes, please save yourself the time and endless searching and start here! You will be heard and helped and dare I say, impressed!! I am in a retail industry and it takes A LOT to impress me and earn my business. Wayne Abernathy did just that today. He EARNED a customer for life! read more

The owner here seriously KNOWS HIS STUFF!! Will definitely be coming back here for all my tennis shoe needs!!

I have never found a runner store with such great customer service, expertise, and good prices! I encourage all runners to benefit from this locally owned business. Recently, the owner fit and educated my daughter on the physics of running shoe types while he helped her find the ideal shoes. She loves her shoes! read more

My husband and I absolutely love this place. We first heard about Lone Star Walking & Running through some running buddies of ours who had been attending the Wednesday evening social runs. Wayne, the owner, is super cool and very knowledgeable about all kinds of shoes! If you have questions on a pair, he's likely got an answer! Having said that, he never makes you feel pressured to buy anything. When I was ready for some shoes, he fitted me for a pair after watching me walk and they worked out great. I recently bought my second pair from him. (My husband has bought 2 pairs to date as well.) We will definitely be coming back and would gladly recommend him to any of our friends and family interested in walking / running gear and supplements. read more

I just found my go-to store for shoe purchases. Wayne is extremely helpful in selecting the right shoes for your needs. If your looking for great customer service and more importantly the right shoes, you got to stop in and check this place out! read more

I bought a pair of shoes there and was told I could return them if I didn't like them. I found a pair I liked better when I was out of state. I did not wear these shoes but was only allowed to return them for store credit. If I had been informed of this initially I would not have purchased them. I try to support local knowledgeable businesses but felt that I was misled. I now have a store credit but I don't want to go back. read more

This is a great place. Came in to get some running shoes and had an awesome experience. The owner helped me get shoes that fit well and were great for the amount of running I do. Would highly recommend. Great selection knowledgeable people. read more

Not the friendliest staff and not great customer service. Such a shame because I like to support local businesses.

My fiancé and I came today to purchase new jogging/ walking shoes. The owner was amazing and knowledgeable. He pulled about 4 or 5 options, each, for us to try on and was very upfront and honest about what would work and what wouldn't. I have been to larger running stores and nothing beat his knowledge and service. I will be returning again to support his business! read more

Best customer service I have ever experienced, he took the time to find the right shoes for me.

Walked in and was immediately greeted. Very knowledgeable and informative. Was able to find a shoe that fits my "style" and help correct my awkward step. Customer service at its best. Will most definitely be back for years to come. read more

I hurt my foot a couple of weeks ago running and needed to replace my shoes. Wayne was so helpful and knowledgeable about what I needed. He found the perfect shoe and fit for me. Turns out I had even been wearing the wrong size for years! I can't wait to put some miles on my new shoes! I won't buy shoes from anywhere else! read more

Had plantar fasciitis surgery many, many years ago. Have never been specially fitted for a shoe. Desperately needed a shoe to accommodate my situation. Owner of store was extremely helpful, as well as knowledgeable. Was not pressured to purchase anything and overall had a very comfortable and pleasant experience. Definitely, recommend to anyone, especially those who are searching for a shoe to fit their needs. read more

Excellent choice for your next pair of running shoes. This is a small, locally-owned store, not a chain outlet, the kind of business we need to support. I went in to replace my old Brooks Adrenaline's, the proprietor made sure they were the right shoes for my foot and ordered my size. He texted me when they arrived a few days later and was a pleasure in the process. Please support! read more

Wayne is the man!! He knows his stuff. He helped my daughter find the correct running shoes. If you need running shoes but know what you need. Better call Wayne!! read more
