I've been a Road Runner Sports VIP member for nearly eight years and have always had excellent experiences at the Newbury Park location. I was excited when the Oxnard store opened since it's much closer to home, but unfortunately, I've now had three disappointing visits. On July 20 around 3:55 p.m., I waited about 7-9 minutes to be helped. While I was waiting, a family came in after me. Once the employee "ELLEY" finished at the register, she helped the family first without checking who had been waiting longer. When I was finally assisted, no one came back to see how the shoes fit or if I needed anything else. I came in ready to spend nearly $400, but the lack of customer service made me decide not to make a purchase. I'll continue driving to the Newbury Park location, where I've always received excellent service. I hope the Oxnard team receives additional customer service training, especially when it comes to acknowledging waiting customers and following up after bringing out shoes. read more

My wife and I went in to check out some running shoes and the fit expert I had was kind and welcoming but the other guy that my wife had was super condescending and rude. He asked "are you actually interested in buying shoes or are you just doing this for fun". What in the actual sales pitch is that? That was almost enough for us to walk right out of the store. (FYI we were very interested in buying multiple pairs but not after that comment we only bought one from my sales person). He started talking about the shoe inserts and my wife told him she already had custom ones from her podiatrist. That's when he acted EXTRA annoyed. My fit expert swore I needed to buy a size 9.5 even though I've always had a 10. Then my wife's insisted she also needed a 9.5 and she's always had an 8.5 or 9. They were both disagreeing on how much toe space we needed. One telling my wife she needed more and mine telling me I needed less. So against my better judgment I listened to my fit expert and got the 9.5 After I got home and started wearing the around and with a tiny bit of feet swelling and warmth my toes were jamming at the end of the shoe. I returned my pair and bought them at REI. This was the worst shopping experience I have ever had. Please please please stop letting your fit "experts" greet people with "are you actually going to buy shoes or what" read more

Wow! This is a full service quality shoe store. Hubby was measured, videotaped, and his foot was assessed via machines. He needs the wide width. We knew that. I sold shoes for 12 years back in the day. I thought the concept of a full service shoe stores were long gone. I am so pleased that I was wrong. Bryan, is a wealth of knowledge!! Bryan spent time with us. Other people walked in and his focus remained on us. (yes...there were other employees.) His patience, calming presence, and sincerity were greatly appreciated. The machine recommended Brooks & Asics. Hubby also tried the Hoka shoes. Bryan explained that the support is located in different places on different brands. We ended up with the inserts & the Hokas. We also bought the VIP family membership for $20. The membership gets us free shipping, discounts, and extended returns. The company offers a 30 day guarantee if you have the membership. If you don't love the shoes, return them. Bryan said that many health insurance companies will reimburse the cost of inserts & shoes. My husband walks 19,000 steps a day for his job. He needs great shoes. Yes. The shoes here sell for over $100. His health & comfort are worth it. The inserts, which were made in the store, cost $108 after the discount. They will last 2 years. I am impressed with this company. My cousin only buys his shoes from Road Runner Sports. We are now huge fans as well. This store is conveniently located in The Collection near Whole Foods. read more

Very helpful staff .. got tested for the "right shoes." However shoes were a bit pricey. I left to shop around at the Cam Outlets for a new pair. Great service. I went with a friend and they had the specific shoes she was looking for. read more

Road Runner Sports - Shoe Stores Near Me - Oxnard, California

I needed new running shoes for the days I drag myself out of bed and make it to the gym. I had heard good things about Road Runner Sports, and wow, this place blew my mediocre expectations out of the water! Missy, who helped me do a foot fitness test on the treadmill and helped find the best shoe for my feet, greeted me immediately. Also, they will 3D scan your feet, and then email you all the information. Missy brought out three types of recommended shoes for me to try. After trying all 3, number 1 fit and felt the best! I felt like I was walking on a cloud. Also, she helped create insoles just for me! And combining the insoles with the shoes means I may wear these shoes to bed. I've never remembered stepping into shoes this comfortable - EVER! With the $19.99 annual membership, I got 10% off my total purchase, have a 90-day return guarantee for the personalized insoles, and can exchange my shoes within 90 days if they don't work out. I didn't feel pressured to purchase anything and walked out feeling thrilled. Thank you to Missy and Road Runner Sports for treating my feet like VIPs. Now, it's your and your feet's turn to be treated like royalty, too! read more

I have always gone to the one in Newbury Park but when I saw they had opened a closer location I stopped by to buy shoes for a loved one. I had great service by the salesperson. However the second time I went back for a return I did not receive stellar service like the first time around. It was not handled professionally and I had to make a formal complaint. The general manager then issued an apology for the behavior of the salesperson and promised they would speak with them. Overall, I did not receive the best experience each time due to that mishap which is why I cannot rate it 5 stars. They do have lots of options though and you can always check them out online as well! read more

Jesse was great! I picked out running shoes and shoes for the gym. I went through the scanning process and ended up going with his rec anyways. It's a great selection of running shoes and running needs. I will say there was another worker who tried to sneak in an upgrade on my VIP membership which I wasn't fond of. He phrased it as a "complimentary for the hassle" (I ended up exchanging the gym shoes). But didn't explain it would cost more annually. If I hadn't asked about any additional costs I wouldn't have known. Be weary of the membership and ask a lot of questions before you sign up! Otherwise it's a great place for your running needs. read more

Just scored some new kicks today!! Bryan was extremely helpful and walked me the through the whole process. Definitely the place to go if you're an avid walker or runner. They provide a full foot measurement and scaling system at no cost. No heavy handed up-selling either. I highly recommend them for your next purchase or for the student athlete in your family. Happy Trails!! read more

Went in for a foot analysis as a first time customer. The lady working seemed busy doing other things so I initiated asking about how the whole process works. She then asked if I was going to actually shop there or just get my results and shop else where... Either way, the analysis was done but the results were never received on my end. I ended up going to the Newbury location and had a VERY different experience-top tier service! A little disappointed with the lack of customer service on a Friday at 11am. read more

Walked in today pretty much ready to drop $175 in a pair of Hoka slip resistant shoes for work. A friend loves them so I came in ready. Miranda said they would have to put me through an assessment (I was fine with that). I asked if they had any other slip resistant shoes and she said no and "other people don't like the Hokas". I kind of got the impression she didn't want to help me so I walked out. I will get them elsewhere I guess. read more

Waited over 20 minutes to be helped because Josh the sales associate was flirting with a female shopper (the only shopper in the store at the time) then when another associate finally came out they told me I couldn't try on a shoe because I hadn't done the treadmill test. What an absolute fumble, I'm an avid runner and just wanted to try on one new shoe. Shop at your local mom and pop running stores, road runner sports is a joke. read more

David C was amazing and knowledgeable about how good shoes could help with our aches and pains of age. He was patient and we never felt pressured or rushed to make a purchase. You will not be disappointed read more

Check this place out! Heaven for runners and anyone living an active lifestyle! They perform a special scan of your feet and have you hop on a treadmill just to give you the best recommendations for your feet. I learned a lot by coming in. They carry so many of the best brands like HOKA, Brooks, Saucony and many more. I signed up for the year membership which is only $20 and you get 10% every purchase for a year! They also gave me an entire bag of free goodies since I came in on their grand opening event which included things like snacks, electrolytes and even a pair of sunglasses and a hat! They have so much merchandise, pain relieving tools, running gear and accessories, snacks like gels and chews, they have it all ! Bryan always delivers great service ! Friendly service read more
