This was the second time I've gone to a shoe store to speak to someone about the proper shoes. I never appreciated how important these things are until now. The staff was very passionate about this space and you can tell from how knowledgeable they are. Very kind, respectful, and patient as you look to make a decision on the many options! I also randomly came by on a run a while ago and they had water and snacks to help out, which I found to be something very special they do to help the community, makes me wanna make them part of my stops on longer runs! read more

Pace Yourself Run Company - Inside the store - Sports Wear Near Me - Holly Springs, North Carolina

Great place to find your next pair of running shoes! I don't often end up Holly Springs, but Pace Yourself was recommended to me. The store is easy to find and there are several public parking lots nearby. I stopped in on a Saturday morning. The store was empty except for two employees. I was greeted upon arrival and Lucas offered to help me right away. I explained what I was looking for and he recommended three options. I tried on each of the three pairs before deciding on a pair of Topo sneakers. When trying them out, They encouraged me to walk around the store and run down the sidewalk outside. It was a nice day for a short jog around the shop. The Topo sneakers felt great at the store and still do now. They have a wider toe box and are comfortable. All around great experience. I would return here for my next pair of running shoes! read more

I just got my second pair of running shoes personally delivered with a roll of toilet paper during COVID-19. I loved my first pair so much that I had to order another. When you visit to get fitted they will start by looking at how you walk. Next they will bring out different pairs of shoes for you to try. You can even run down the sidewalk. Everyone is so friendly and knowledgable here. They also have draft beer available, I can't wait to stop in for a cold one again soon once it's safe and allowed. Cheers! read more

I was in need of a good walking shoe. I'm new to the area. Looked up local shoe stores to find Pace Yourself as a highly regarded store. I was not disappointed! I got waited on right away. I was provided with great suggestions as to what would work for me. Tried on several pairs. The lady who was helping me even went on the shoe website to see what other colors were available in the shoe I chose. Great experience! I was also provided with info on their walk/run club! If you're looking for a quality shoe this is the place! read more

Pace Yourself is such a great local establishment. Very friendly, helpful, knowledgeable staff! It's clearly a running store owned and managed by runners - truly feels like being part of the running community when you're in here. The taproom feel of the store was especially surprising - a wide selection of great beers, wines and ciders are on hand. Runners socializing here all the time. Great group runs scheduled weekly. Just a very comfortable, accessible local place to run from, purchase running gear, and get to know other runners. So happy that this now exists in Holly Springs! read more

5 star customer service 5 star expertise I am not a competitive runner, and probably not a a good one, but I came in with foot pain and the staff were so knowledgeable, kind and caring. They examined my existing shoes and were honest about their condition (fine) and alternate options. They helped me find insoles to provide some relief right away. They also recommended I see a podiatrist and gave a referral for one that I ended up loving. After all that they then helped me get fitted in even more appropriate shoes based on the doctors recommendations. They were nothing but friendly, honest and obviously know feet and shoes. At no point did I feel like they were trying to make a sale, they seemed genuinely interested in helping me resolve my issue. Highly recommend!!! read more

We love having this local store in our small town. The staff are knowledgeable and runners so they have a better understanding of your needs. Love that there's a bar. Sometimes I pop in just to have an adult beverage. They also host a local run club onsite. It's a great place to socialize, exercise and have a tasty beverage. read more

I like many took up run/walking during the COVID months and when we were finally able to go shopping I was in desperate need of good shoes. I must have tried on 30 pairs but the gentleman was patient and so helpful. Finally found a pair and couldn't be happier! And they have beer... read more

Bought a 170 dollar pair of New Ballance shoes . They were fitted by an associate in the store. They developed a hole in the toe area after a couple of mont. When I took them back to the store they said there was nothing they could do as they only have a 30 day return policy read more

Excellent customer service!! Go and see Sam! He is the best I've ever worked with. Very knowledgeable and patient. I could even take the shoes down the sidewalk for a short run!! read more

I needed well-fitting running shoes for my finicky feet and Pace Yourself gave me undivided attention to help me find the best pair! They even let me road test them. I highly recommend this store, especially if you're new or getting back into running. Thank you PYRC read more

Awesome experience! Very knowledgeable staff and a no pressure experience. Will definitely be back!

With so many choices out there, finding the right running gear can quickly get overwhelming. Wether you are running for fun, trail blazing or training for a marathon the right running gear is important. The Pace Yourself staff makes it easy to understand by listening to your needs and has great advice to help reduce injury and make logging your miles enjoyable. In addition the stress of shopping can be eased with a cold brew, glass of wine or the yummy mimosas. Who doesn't love that...... read more

Honestly I was skeptical at first how a dedicated running store serving craft beers would stack up against the online stores and even the well known stores in Raleigh, however they have done a great job stocking high end running gear at competitive sensible prices together with a loyalty points system. One thing Holly Springs did not need in my opinion is another craft beer store, but again I find myself more often than not favoring PYRC for a sneaky beer because there is pretty much always like minded people there to talk to and a good selection of beverages. The one thing that has really impressed me was the store manager, Sam is definitely not a hard core 'sell what we have' he is a true consultant councilor when it comes to running shoes, you won't leave with a pair shoe's because that's what they had available, you will leave with either the right pair, or with a recommendation on what try (even if it meant you had to go somewhere else) to me, that honesty and high integrity will make PYRC stand out amongst the rest. read more

What a great addition to Holly Springs! For a town with such a thriving run community, this definitely fits a need. The staff is friendly and very knowledgeable. An ever expanding selection of shoes apparel and nutrition means there is always something new to check out. It's even a great place to just hang out with friends after a run, and grab a beer (8-10 different options on tap) and watch some TV while recovering from the run. They have several organized runs throughout the week, and also put on a great set of races throughout the year. read more

Look no further! Great store, knowledgeable staff and a cold beer if you desire. Stopped by for first time Thursday . 3 weeks of no running due to plantar fasciitis...was miserable. They took the time to explain options and I bought some prostep pinnacle inserts a went for first run Saturday and feet feel great. Thanks PYRC! Will be back for all my needs. No more amazon to save a few dollars. Will be back to talk to people who know what they are doing. read more

LOVE LOVE Pace yourself Run Co! Super helpful in finding the perfect shoes (and from varied brands you often don't see in stores). They are even able to order shoes that they don't have in stock and have them ready for you in a few days (+rewards program). Their gear is the best and the staff are always welcoming and make you feel at home. PLUS they have beer! Pace yourself has definitely enhanced the existing running community and made us feel even closer. Highly recommend for a personalized experience and small town feel. read more
