The service, friendliness and knowledgeable staff make this business stand out! I highly recommend them. Their shoe selection is great but then add a custom sole that's molded to your foot and you now have the perfect shoe. read more

This store is a runners dream! I've gone to other running stores in the past but this was the best experience that I've had. I'm recovering from an Achilles rupture so it's really important that I have the right support as I slowly get back into running. The guy that helped me was Patrick and his service was top notch. Not only did he get to know me as a customer but truly helped me decide what the right decision was for me and my safety in terms of recovery. There were a lot of shoes to choose from and he was there every step of the way ensuring that the choices were not overwhelming. Running shoes and equipment is definitely pricey these days but with the VIP membership you're able to get cash back which I haven't seen at other stores. Overall I'll continue shopping here for all my running needs. read more

Road Runner Sports - Sports Wear Near Me - Naperville, Illinois

Decided to stop in to get a pair of shoes. I had been here before, but it has been awhile. Customer service is excellent. I never feel pressured to buy a certain brand or upcharge. Gabriel was the staff that assisted me on this visit. He measured my feet and recommended based upon my walking style. My boyfriend stated that he has helped him as well on previous visits. Definitely recommend for the shoes. They sell some clothes, socks, and accessories as well. I would recommend! read more

I came into the store and not knowing much about the what kind of shoes I needed, but I then met with Gabriel and he was such a good help. He helped me with getting tested, testing insoles, tried on socks, and also gave me great recommendations and feedback. He gave me good selection of shoes and helped me out throughout the process. I would 1000% recommend this to my friends and family and I have. read more

Gabriel was amazing and the one who assisted me. He was very knowledgeable. He walked me through the process of what I wanted in a shoe and also guided me through the tests they have at the store to find the best shoe for me (walking on treadmill, foot scan, custom insoles, etc). I've never had such a personalized experience of buying shoes and catering to my needs (I deal with plantar fasciitis). I left very happy and impressed. read more

I needed another pr of custom insoles and had a credit to use so we went to the Naperville, Il store on March 24, 2023 had the insoles made went to check out and the cashier would not take the credit was rude wouldn't even look at my gift card number so we had to take out the custom insoles that she put in our shoes and hand them back to her! She offered us nothing service was horrible, these two retail workers that were at this store that day should not be working with the public! No one else was in that store no other customers the whole 2 hrs we were there trying to use my credit, DO NOT bother using this store very poor customer service! Will never go back! And I did report them to Corporate! read more

Gabriel and Vanessa were awesome! I was in and out efficiently based on their expert recommendations. My last pair was looking a bit rough, and my fitness needs have shifted a bit. I left the store feeling confident that I'll be able to run faster and jump higher at my next workout! But seriously, Gabriel, whatever you're making is not enough! Definition of professional. read more

Great in store experience, good selection of top footwear, and the 3-d foot scan was a great way to get a baseline for my best fit and comfort style. Generous return policy, I will definitely be back for additional walk-run workout gear. read more

Gabriel was absolutely amazing!! He got the two of us fitted so fast and with such expertise, and was so helpful with making the custom shoe inserts - the first ones that were bought a few months ago at another store weren't quite right, and he fixed that right away! Perfect in every way, thank you so much Gabriel! read more

Went into today for shoe fitting and the lady working there was rude and dismissive right away. She said I had to wait because they were short staffed, I stuck around to wait and the guy working there started helping a lady who came in after me. I left after 15 mins and bought my running shoes for another store. Don't waste your time with this store. read more

My family and I have been buying our running gear from Road Runner for many years now. We are always very pleased with the customer service and attention paid to us, even when the store is quite busy. Today we had the great fortune of having Gabriel work with us. He was very patient and knowledgeable. We will definitely be back! Thanks read more

Angel was so helpful in getting me set up with a set of running shoes. Great store. Highly recommend if you are a novice runner looking to make sure you are in the right pair of shoes. read more

I needed to find new shoes and Gabriel was the most helpful! Sometimes I find people helping me at a store annoying, but Not Gabriel. He was kind and helping me for my best interest, not pushy AT ALL. I bought a pair of Hokas and a pair of foot inserts. **They make you free ones while you're there and you don't have to buy them! But I couldn't resist. I love them. I am going here every year for a new pair of shoes! Love this place. read more

Just got home from buying my perfect pair of running shoes. Thank you Angel Aguilar for all your help and advice.

We went to this store in Naperville and ended up buying 2 pairs of shoes and a jacket. Gabriel was our salesperson and he was AWESOME! You should definitely ask for him. We will definitely return and we had a 4 hour drive!! Thanks Gabriel. read more

I needed some new running shoes and I wasn't sure what exactly to get.

I was in need of some new running shoes and had no idea where to start. Malik answered all my questions and took the time to find me the perfect pair. He was very friendly, accommodating and knowledgeable. They are now my favorite pair of shoes. He also recommended a great pair of socks to go along with my runs. Great service. Thank you. read more

I went in recently to look for new shoes and custom insoles due to knee pain when running. The staff was courteous and greeted me right away. I was asked some initial questions about my visit and promptly directed to the area where they examine you for custom orthotics. The process was very easy, less than 15 minutes or so, and the staff member was very informative of each step and it's purpose. Within 10 to 15 minutes, I had custom insoles that felt great, and they were used in each of the shoes I tried on until we found the right fit. Jonathan was assisting me in finding shoes, and really listened to my feedback on each pair of shoe to help me find the right fit. I was surprised to walk out with a pair of Nikes, (which never seemed to feel good on my feet, but the insoles made a huge difference;) and not Saucony or Brooks, which is what I had gone in to purchase. I was pleasantly surprised, and have felt great ever since. This definitely shows that Jonathan knew each shoe and fit and really listened to what I was saying in terms of my needs and knew exactly what to bring to me, even if I wouldn't have chosen it myself. I will definitely be going back when I need my next pair of shoes and custom insoles. If you've never had custom insoles before, definitely worth it! Your joints will thank you. read more

I came here for my first pair of running shoes and I loved the process that they use including the treadmill and the full analysis of my feet. They were very thorough and attentive. I chose road runner because of their huge selection. Much bigger than other stores. I was helped by Gabriel - he was respectful and knowledgeable about all my concerns and questions. I thought the prices were fair and they made the process really easy. read more

I'd been having a lot of foot pain and realized it was time for new running shoes. I not only got great shoes but also new custom inserts too. They were so nice my husband even got some too. Gabriel helped us with both. He was professional, knowledgeable and attentive. He made great recommendations. read more

Had a wonderful 1st time visit... Malik was very helpful and confident in his choices he mad for our family. Will definitely be back. Also had great prices read more

I had a great experience here. Gabriel was very informative and helpful. I had no idea my arches were different, which was causing pain on one of my feet. He helped me find the perfect shoe. read more

Shout out to Benjamin! He was very professional and helpful while we were in the store today trying to pick out a pair of shoes for my sister. He was knowledgeable with the customized insoles making process as well. It was my second time at this location. They seem to have a great shoe and sock selection. The store is clean and organized. Highly recommend if you're looking for a quality pair of shoes for everyday use! read more

I bought my husband, son and daughter shoes here with the custom insoles. It's pricey but worth it, for the stability and comfort. The customer service is excellent. read more

I was in town for an appointment and the sole of my shoe separated from the top! I saw a Road Runner shop and pulled into the parking lot. I had an idea what make and model of shoe I wanted to buy. I have large feet (13 - 2E), so finding a shoe I want in my size is a big deal. Gabriel welcomed me as soon as I entered the store. I told him exactly what I was looking for (Asics GT-2000 8) and he went in back to get the shoes. He quickly brought out my first choice along with several boxes of shoes from other brands, all in my size, just in case I didn't like the Asics shoe. The Asics shoe was perfect and I told him I would be wearing them out of the store. We went to the cash register and quickly settled up! He applied my VIP discount and pointed out that I had $22.43 in benefits that I could apply to the cost of my new shoes! So I had my favorite shoes in the right size WITH a sizeable discount! Bottom line: Satisfied customer! Gabriel is a friendly and knowledgeable salesman (or Fit Expert, as they call themselves). read more

Took my daughter to get shoes for cross country. First time visiting the store in Naperville. Gabriel was the representative we worked with. He was attentive, patient, courteous and knowledgeable. He took time to explain what was going to be done and did so every step of the way. We felt comfortable, educated and enabled thanks to his help. Highly recommend Gabriel and the store for running needs and service. read more

My husband and I finally found shoes that literally are a perfect fit. Gabriel was so helpful- taking us through the whole evaluation process to find the best fitting shoes for each of us. Will definitely be back! read more

I'm on my feet 8hrs 5-6 days every week. I'm a surgical RN and my feet are important. It is my life if I don't take good care of it. All parts of my body will not be alling. Yes I rate them as 5 stars, because as soon as I entered the back door I got accommodated as soon as possible. Christian helped & measured my feet. Watched how I walked on the treadmill. Then Sam helped on finding the perfect shoes and explained everything, answered all my questions. Even told me how "Cotton are rotten"!! Lol !! All employees here are very friendly read more

I always love this store. Where else they help you measuring and suggesting the best fit shoes for you? Staff are always courteous and very helpful. I was here recently buying a shoe insert and they measure and customize and check the fit as always. Employee Sam helped me and he was great to work with and very helpful. I also shopped around while Sam was making my insoles and ended up buying a top which was on sale. I highly recommend this store. read more

Great service, expertise, and rewards pricing. I highly recommend this store. The shoe selection, form and fitting experience from staff is excellent. Shout out to Herman, for his help and guidance on my most recent visit. read more

Ok I gave it a better rating a few years ago when I went into the store for the first time...Since then my view has some changes. Where is the ZERO Stars Button??? 1. When I went in there one time I was literally IGNORED by a sales person...like he walked right past me-the manager saw this and came up right up to me and apologized-the apology did not help the service I received 2. The employees know nothing about their merchandise...Matt a young salesperson in the store when I asked him if a particular shoe was new (I had not seen it before)...He was like yeah we just got it Mizuno just came out with it! I came home looked on their website as well as Zappos and found that it was an endangered shoe (It had been out about 2 years...not so new). Also I never see the same staff twice there are always new unknowledgeable people. 3. PUSHY!!! They are so pushy about their Shoe Dog and their insoles....My feet do not do well with insoles I have been running for a few years now and without any weight changes or pain I am going to stick with hat I know but every time I went in they basically want to throw you on the treadmill and shoves insoles in your face... Poor service, old merchandise, unknowledgeable staff...I am going to a local running store who actually cares about their customers!!! read more

I loved the whole experience. It was neat to get fitted for an actual good pair of shoes. The technology was cool and the recommendations were great. Gabriel helped me out and was knowledgeable about the products so I definitely recommend here for some new running shoes! read more

I was in here to pick up a new pair of Nike Trail running sneakers, I knew what I wanted, but was unable to find it. The walls where the shoes are kept were quite bare, the selection seemed very small for a store that is geared towards just these items. The worst in my opinion was the lack of service. I came in, there were two salesmen hovering around one woman trying on shoes, there was a young blonde girl stalking a woman through the very poorly lit clothing section at the front of the store, and another sales associate who was determined to hit me with the door to the stock room as he made several trips through the door, with nothing in his hands, no-one to talk to, etc. I mosied around for about 10 minutes and decided I would wait to go to the Rack across the way if I wanted to be ignored - at least they have a reason. Overall, I found the store poorly lit, poorly stocked (for their square footage I would expect a lot more product), poorly serviced and the prices no great deal for all of the disadvantages. I was also confused by what seemed to be out of date signs regarding their discount club. read more

I went with my wife to look at running shoes and Sam came up and asked her if he could help her. And he was able to fit her into a perfect pair of shoes. I was curious about the 3D computer to look at your feet. I did not want to spend a lot on a pair of shoes but I have a flat foot and slightly crooked ankle I was born with and I made it worse by running marathons. Sam was not pushy at all I asked him if I could get on the 3D machine to see my feet boy did that open my eyes he got 5 pairs of shoes for me and he suggested to try the Brooks the Beast 18 and they felt great on my ankle and my flat foot, he took time with not knowing if I was going to buy a pair of shoes and they were busy. The moral of the story is he showed he cared with out being pushy and we walked out with 2 pairs of shoes. I would recommend on taking to Sam!! read more

Road Runner Sports - Sports Wear Near Me - Naperville, Illinois

See all

Not a fan... Way too expensive..... $70 for soles / inserts... Nope! Sales people are a tad on the pushy side... No thanks! They put me on auto bill, unbeknown to me, when I signed up for their VIP program. Charged me $25 12 months after my purchase. FAIL! They offer a free running analysis called "Shoe Dog". They video tape you running on a tread mill and run some other tests to help size you correctly. It's free, not worth the sales pressure and jacked up prices. I have lost faith in running shoe stores because of this place. I will be making future running shoe purchases from Zappos.com and Kohls again. Stay away! read more
