The store is laid out very clearly and is very easy to navigate! They have a WIDE selection of running shoes and basically any and every accessory you could ever need for running! Whether nutritional products like energy gels or chews or running clothes, socks, and shoes, they have it all! Also, came here a year-and-a-half ago to get a new pair of running shoes, and they have a cool system to find the best shoe for you! Additionally, the associates were very eager to help and very knowledgeable about their products. Thomas especially helped me figure out the best energy snack for me! He was awesome! read more

just went in today and had a great experience. I personally know nothing about shoes, and Mia was super helpful when it came to answering my questions and offering suggestions. She also wasn't pushy or salesy at all which was awesome. Their 30 day return policy for store credit is also incredible. I will definitely be buying all of my shoes @ runners corner from here on out. read more

After a bad experience getting the wrong shoes, I have to say it was resolved with kindness and ease. I returned the shoes, and Jaxson helped me find the most comfortable shoe I have ever worn. Thank you Jaxson. read more

If you value professionalism, courtesy, 1:1 attention, and knowledgeable people, The Runners Corner is the store for you. They are a shining example of why brick and mortar stores are still such a valuable community resource. I went in today and Golden took time explaining so many things and helped me with the kind of personal touch that will make me continue returning again and again. No matter your level of "being a runner," from 0-100%, you are welcome here and they have something for everyone. My entire family has shoes from this store and we always value the people here more than the products we walk away with. Their prices are reasonable and they will price match any main brand competitor. Today, I left with new shoes, socks, jelly beans (yum!), toe spacers, but most importantly, great advice. I look forward to my next visit! read more

Absolutely fantastic. These employees all know their stuff! No shortage of recommendation and suggestions, that come from experience, for all kinds of products. Not just shoes, but laces, hydration vests, belts, socks, nutrition, poles, flasks, etc. Shout out to Crystal who was very helpful the other day. If you're in the area and needing advice or needing running gear, this is the place. read more

Love this place. They have great employees and it's nice, clean and organized. I love the little track and kids toys they have out to entertain the littles while you get what you need. read more

Doctor's orders were to stop wearing cheap shoes that aren't shaped how our feet are shaped. He sent me to runner's corner. I am not a runner & I typically cut corners - so this place is not a place I would frequent without prodding from my kind doctor who I trust. Boy, I wish I had come here before to buy shoes. You don't need to be a runner to get some great service and seemingly wise advice on foot care. I never realized how important the shoes we wear are - until I couldn't walk and the doctor said - "Change your shoes and problem solved." Great service and 5 stars because it was refreshing to be treated so kindly. They tried in several pair with me. He spent a ton of time with me and talked through numerous options. Frankly best service in a long time ANYWHERE. I'll be back. -Lifetime customer activated- read more

Runner's Corner - Shoes galore - Sporting Goods Near Me - Orem, Utah

Came and got some great new shoes. First time buying real running shoes and not just some Nikes but Brandon was a huge help through the whole process. Will buy again read more

I loved the feel of this store. I am in need of extra good running shoes as I've had multiple knee surgeries and refuse to give up running. I loved their shoe wall which made it easy to explore the different variety of running shoes by brand and colors. It's also fun that they set it up so that an employee sits with you in a "director's" chair so that you feel like you're receiving special treatment. :) The employee who help me (I'm at a loss of his name right now) was knowledgeable about the different brands AND styles of shoes within each brand. It helped me make a more informed decision on what shoe would be best for me. I even had the owner (Hawk), come out and help me a bit since he's had knee surgeries and is also a runner. I appreciated the personal acknowledgment. They also have a mini track around their store on the inside and a sidewalk around the outside and they encourage you to run with the shoes one for a bit so you get the right feel. They even let you return them after purchasing and running in them outside if you end up being unsatisfied. That's incredible to me and makes the buying process less strenuous. Conclusion: Fantastic store to try-on and purchase good running shoes! read more

See all

Without question the best running store in the state of Utah may be in the entire west. Everybody is very educated and so service oriented. Hawk and Cheryl are some of the greatest runners in the state of Utah or at least were I say this also as it has been someone that Hawk has never beat.haha read more

The employees at Runner's Corner are awesome. They have a flexible 30 day exchange policy. My girlfriend was fitted for a shoe that was a little too big, so we came back a couple of days later to get her a better fitting shoe. Spencer, one of the employees, showed so much care and interest in helping her find a shoe that met all of her needs. We were really impressed with his considerate and professional approach. Highly recommend! read more

Madyson or madison idk how to spell her name was condescending and gave terrible reviews for the jells I've been on the toilet for an hour now the shoes were great tho ngl just am never listening to her again I've flushed 6 times read more

Holy cow. Best service of any store I've ever been to. I went 3 times to 2 other running stores and didn't get as good of service as here, so I came back. All of the staff is so friendly and super helpful. They are really knowledgeable and will help you get the right shoe for your body. they treat you so good. The shoes I bought were already cheaper there than online (they also price match). The factory shipped them with the wrong size insoles so Runners Corner upgraded me and gave me some $10 comfort insoles for free and gave me 20% off. And, instead of trying to sell you a huge $30 bottle of waterproofing spray, they offered to waterproof them for free. I don't think I'll ever buy running shoes anywhere else. read more

Usually I know what I want and just order online. In the past I've was consistent with mizuno wave runner; however, a few years ago they changed their design enough to the point it no longer fit the way it use to. Since Chicago Marathon in 2018, I switched to On Cloud Swiss brand. It's been a great shoe since. Lately, I've been dealing with some major heal pain and working with a podiatrist. The pain has been progressively worth the past month, recognizing it as Plantar Fasciitis. I've been researching ways to help and that lead me to Hoka Bondi. Walking in I knew what shoe I wanted to try on I didn't know what size I would be since they run slightly different than others. I also didn't realize they closed at 6 and walked in at 5:50 pm, I assumed they closed at 7pm. They were wrapping up another couple and asked what I was looking for. I immediately asked to try a pair on and he told me they were closing soon. I acknowledged it and made an effort to be quick about it. The size was to big, so I asked for a smaller size and he told me that if I wanted to continue looking at shoes that I should come back another day. I'm sorry, but if you know a customer is going to spend a couple hundred dollars you don't push them out the door. I really wanted to pick up the shoe and make sure I was getting the right size because I know they are not good at returns. They didn't make any effort aside from the fact that I asked if the first shoe felt to big on my foot, which is did. I normally wear size 9 running shoe and the Hoka Bondi, I wear 8.5. He insisted that we wrap up because the manager is wanting them to close. Seriously, I think staying after an extra 10-15 isn't going to hurt anyone. I like this store, but disappointed in the experience this time. I'll check out other running stores next time. read more

My husband and I love this store. The salespeople are great at helping you find the perfect running shoes, and from our experience are really knowledgable and helpful. They price-match, and it feels way better to shop (and actually get good shoes that fit and feel good) here rather than guess and return over and over on Amazon. read more

Best running store in Utah valley, possibly best in the state. They have huge selection, the staff are very knowledgeable and helpful. If they don't have a color or size of shoe you're looking for they will order it for you. Good selection of other running and outdoor active accessories. They also host running lecture, yoga, and group runs. They build a great running community! read more

Kind of a rough experience. I've been to many writing stories in the past and have had a wonderful experiences (including Wasatch running Center). It was a very busy day, so I understand the lack of staffing. That being said, the whole experience took about an hour and a half, much longer than I've ever experienced before in any other running store. The staff was not wearing masks or gloves, even though we were still advised to be social distancing. While I understand it's a personal choice, the rest of the customers were wearing masks, and it would've made me feel better. The staff member helping me a praise me for being "low maintenance" as she continued to help customers that came in after me while I sat and waited. The woman helping me seem to ramble on about facts that were not necessarily helpful, elongating the experience even further. appeared very distracted and made many errors that could have been avoided, but instead added time (things like not making sure the shoes were in the right boxes, making it so she had to go back and get the right ones, which took a long time, and not knowing store policies on certain shoes). I don't plan on going back, would not recommend. read more

Horrible. I went there with high expectations. I am new to running and was hoping to Get fitted for a good shoe. The owner was "helping" me. But was pulled away every 30 seconds to help someone else, including some banker trying to get the owner to take out another loan! He also sold me on these Altra shoes. (Come to find out he tries to sell everyone on those shoes bc his son is the designer or owner of them.) I walked out with two pairs for shoes. They gave me a horrible calf strain. I decided to return the 2nd pair but they REFUSED to Exchange them bc I have a life and was not able to get back within their 30 day window. I am now stuck with really expensive shoes I don't want. I'm really disappointed and Will never go back. read more

Just wanted to warn those of you who shop at the Running Corner. When they say you can try the shoes for 60 days you aren't suppose to run in them. I specifically asked "What happens if I hate these minimalist shoes, he said "you can try them and bring them back if you hate them." He should have told me not to use them but to keep them nice and new in the box and look at them. L-A-M-E. I ran in them THREE TIMES! I spent $117.00 on shoes that I hate and they "can't do anything for me" (oh except for give me a pair of free socks.) I ran a race this morning and my feet were SOAKED b/c there are HOLES.. YES HOLES in the bottom and the water soaked my socks within 30 steps. Who purposely puts HOLES in the BOTTOM of shoes... I looked it up and is says for the sweat to escape... does anyone really have THAT sweaty of feet? PS. The name of the shoes are Pearl Izumi Streak II, great for about the first 1/2 mile, but not for long distant and now I know not for rain or snow running. The sales clerk did not mention this either (he probably wasn't even aware of this weird feature as he should have been.) He suggested that I call the manufacture. I called Pearl Izumi 6 times, never could get anyone on the phone. Left message and message. Not one person returned my call. Horrible shoe, BAD costumer service on both parts. Hate the shoe! I will never shop at runners corner again. read more

The freaking best place to find the perfect running shoe - that pretty much sums the place up, but I'll expand... I bought a pair of Nike Shox at Foot Locker a few months ago, thinking that they would be all that Nike claims them to be. That's the last time I correlate popularity and quality of shoes. These running shoes suck big time. Every night, I find my feet killing me after only two miles. But I think that I've found an awesome shoe for me, thanks to Runner's Corner. This is one of those stores where they find that "special" shoe that fits you perfectly. The first thing I learned was how to tie my shoes "the right way." Holy crap, I never knew that running shoe shopping was a science. I tried on a pair of shoes and was told to run around the store - by doing this, the guy that worked there either wanted to check my butt out or see how my foot hits the ground when I run. After the trial run, I tried on about 7 pairs of shoes until I found the ones that I loved. The only thing I didn't like was the price, but you really can't expect to spend any less than $70.00 on running shoes, especially when you go to a specialty store. I've got to say, the people that work at Runner's Corner really know what they're talking about. They're not paid on commission, so you know that they aren't just trying to get you to buy the most expensive pair. It's the best place I've been to in order to find a good shoe, hands down. read more

Great customer service. I don't know a lot about running, but they answer my million questions and helped me find the right fit for shoes. They even helped me know about clothes, socks, etc. Great staff. read more

This place is awesome! I needed to get fitted for a new pair of running shoes and Jon was so helpful. He helped me find the perfect pair for me and even price matched. I will definitely be back in the future read more

For so many years, Runner's Corner has been the only place I will buy running shoes. They have the most experienced people who really take the time to help me make the right purchase. Can't say enough good about this business. read more

i went to a clinic put on by these guys and thought it was awesome. Very knowledgeable and not too pushy with product.

I get to travel the western states quite a bit. There a lot of running stores that sell what they have. These guys have an amazing inventory and help you understand what shoe is best and let you decide. A breath of fresh air! read more

I've been to a few running stores in Alabama, North Carolina and Utah. Runner's Corner is the best I have ever been to. Very friendly, very helpful, and very knowledgable. I will never buy another pair of running shoes from anyone else. read more

Excellent customer service. Fair, competitive prices. Knowledgable staff. They carry a wide array of brands and types of running shoes. I've never been to a running store with such an extensive selection! If they don't have something that works great for you, no one will. Be warned that sometimes the store is busy. Try choosing less busy shopping times if you're hoping for a faster experience. Either way the employees will do their best to give you their full attention. Plus THEY PRICE MATCH! If you're looking to buy online, just go try them on in the store and buy them for the cheapest price available! Doesn't get better than that... Seriously. Support local! read more

Love this place for running gear! Wish the store was bigger!

Went in the other day and Tristram helped man he is so knowledgeable with his shoes!! Got me the perfect pair!! I don't know what these other people are talking about when they said they had crapy service!! But the store was packed and I felt like everyone was greeted appropriately and there were lots of "attractive" females in the store and he helped my fat bum out and never left me. He gave me 100% undivided attention!! read more

I have gotten my last three pairs of shoes here. The prices have generally matched online prices. The staff is friendly and helpful though sometimes you have to ask for help. Cookie was especially helpful this time and spent over 30 minutes helping me find a good shoe. She was very knowledgeable and had tips to help improve my running as well. She noticed I had bone spurs and showed me different ways of tying the laces to help avoid aggravating them. read more

Best place in town for running shoes whether you're a runner or just need a good shoe to work out in. Great first impression! I was greeted as soon as I walked in. I really don't like help shopping & other people putting shoes on for me, but Maddie was super helpful, professional, and friendly! I feel like I walked away with a new friend. I will definitely be back. read more

Runner's Corner is the only place to shop for shoes. They are knowledgeable, helpful, super friendly and they really know their stuff. I love going in there and highly recommend you go there as well. read more

I would give zero stars if I could. I am a male and when I walked in the store I was approached by a male employee who asked if I needed help. I told him what I was looking for and he brought me out one pair of shoes to try on. At this time a young female walked in and he immediately left me to help her and did not return. I then sat there asking for help for the next 15 minutes. I was finally helped and ended up purchasing a pair of running shoes. During my first run with the new shoes they caused my supination in my left foot to be exaggerated. When I went to return them 3 days later they would only give me 90% of the purchase price back because I had forgotten to bring in the box. I was told they do not have any spare boxes and they could not sell them without the box. Really? A huge shoe store without a single extra box? read more

There is always something great about locally owned outlets! Though the array of shoes here are about the same as large franchises, the quality in customer service and one-on-one assistance is the key difference. As a customer, I have always felt very valued and respected here. That is why I have chosen to purchase my last 2 pairs of marathon shoes here at the Corner! You will not regret making a purchase here. 10/5 review! read more

I love these guys. I always buy all my running shoes here. The shoes can be quite a bit more than say, buying them at an outlet or the Famous Footware store but it's worth it. The staff is very knowledgeable and friendly. They help me pick out the right shoes for my gait and arch--I've never been disappointed with anything I've purchased here. read more

I've bought three pairs of shoes here and been very happy with the service every time. They certainly aren't the cheapest, but they give really valuable input and the price is usually competitive. read more

My wife and I are not runners. But we need to get fit. Walking in to a running store can be intimidating. James made us feel welcome. Was so helpful. Helped my wife feel great and helped solve a problem that's been gapping for years. She now has the right shoe. Thank you James. read more

LOVE. Plenty of options and every sales person was very helpful! Arwen helped us, we loved her!! definitely recommend!

Great running store. Big selection of shoes to try on, the staff was friendly, helpful, and knowledgeable, I liked their 30 day guarantee on the shoes. I would recommend to any runner in the area! read more
