Helpful and honest. My go-to for sneakers and athletic sandals. They never try to upsell. Will order what you want if they don't have it. Local small business! read more

I've bought running/ walking shoes there but when they didn't sell golf shoes, they gave me a great recommendation - ASICS golf version of their popular running shoe. These guys know their stuff! read more

Bob thoroughly examined and fitted me with the most comfortable shoes I have ever worn.

Went in to buy sneakers for my son. The staff was so helpful. Bob patiently helped a new associate learn the ropes and they both put my little guy at ease. They showed him how to wear his shoes properly (ie not crush the backs) and explained why he was getting foot pain. The price for his New Balance sneakers was similar to the online prices and I got the added benefit of a shoe expert's advice. I ended up also buying shoes for myself because Bob was so helpful. I've run out of patience with buying shoes online. This is now my go-to place for functional sneakers. read more

Jason, his Dad and the rest of their team have been my go-to place for high quality sneakers for many years. I'm surprised it took me so long to post a review about them. Every person in the store knows their product and understands the needs of their customer. The staff led by Jason are a pleasure to be around. Jason is a lifelong NY Jets fan and for this, he can be forgiven and shown sympathy! He knows all his sports and i love teasing him about the Jets! the store carries the best and most current major brands. i'm a big buyer of ASICS, just bought my first two pairs of Hoka's that feel very comfortable. The store carries nice apparel as well. i've leaned on and taken Jason's advice on selection and styles on many occasions. He is a class act! At a time many stores are struggling to recover and deal with the impact of the virus, Jason and his team are people you want to support and root for to succeed!!! Here is to many great years ahead read more

I have been having a lot of problems with my feet recently, particularly with running shoes given my ultra high arch and instep. Dr. Weiss, podiatrist in Darien, recommended I give The Athlete's Source a try and I could not be more satisfied. Bob took the time to understand my issues which he then evaluated and recommended absolutely the right shoes for me. Needless to say they are about as opposite a running shoe as possible from what I had been wearing and which caused my problems. These guys know what they are doing. read more

A great place to find/buy quality running shoes and accessories. The owner helped me recently, and he was so knowledgeable about specifically which shoes I should try for my training purposes. When I decided on a pair, he even gave me a discount because he was sold out of the color I preferred and couldn't order them since they were recently discontinued. I will definitely return to buy other shoes and running equipment Update: I have indeed returned to buy my latest running shoes and just want to emphasize everything I said previously read more

David super helpful. Knew what he was doing. Jason was very friendly and helpful. Buying experience was very nice. David patient with all my requests, Jason suggested the winning pair! Thanks guys! I'll be back! read more

I love to run and my wife loves to walk. We usually go to big box stores or online for our shoes, but I decided to check this place out instead when I wore out my latest pair of sneakers. Thank goodness I did. They have a selection geared towards quality. And their staff is incredibly knowledgeable. Julia patiently helped me find the perfect pair by analyzing my gate, taking into consideration my level of activity and helping me understand how different brands and models would perform. She could even answer questions about shoe construction and how a particular design evolved over time. A few weeks later my wife came in for her new pair and had the same great experience. That combination of quality products and excellent service can make a big difference over the course of lots of miles, helping improve performance and avoid injury. read more

They have excellent knowledge of product, fitting and service. Nice, friendly people too.

Jason and Bob (separate trips) were both very patient and made sure that the shoes fit me perfectly. I have now found my new purveyor of sport shoes! read more

Great store to address your running shoe needs. Jason and Dylan were both very friendly and very knowledgeable about the products they were selling. They will look at your foot pronation and recommend shoes that will work best for you. 5 stars for great service and competitive prices on all products. read more

Great selection & very knowledgeable staff. I went in looking for a pair of cross trainers, and I ended up buying 2 pairs (New Balance & Asics) for me and 2 pairs of running shoes for my wife (Asics & Brooks). Dillin was extremely knowledgeable & helpful, and he really took the time to find my needs and make recommendations based on those. This store is a hidden gem, and I'm very pleased with the personalized service. Very glad to support a local business. I'll definitely be coming back for my next pair. read more

They were so helpful and friendly. I'll never go any place else for sneakers again. Seriously i buy almost everything online to avoid people and i will go into The Athletes Source - that should tell you how great their service is!! read more

A fairly well curated selection of sneakers & apparel, especially for such a small store. It would be great if they carried Nike, who truly pioneered the running sneaker. And they carry Crocs, which are not for athletes, but goofballs following a strange trend. Those who need a certain width pair of New Balances, you can find them here. You can also find a good selection of Asics, which is a plus. The other downsides are that everything was full price, no discounted sneakers on the 10ish pairs that I looked at. And worst of all, when you call them when they are busy, and they tell you that they will call you back, they do not. So, if you are a serious athlete who likes good customer service, this is not your best bet. read more

Been a long time customer, the staff is great and knowledgeable. They offer a much better experience than any other shoe store around.

My go-to place for my athletic shoes. Styles and colors are always in stock. Jason is a knowledgeable shoe seller, catering to those who have trouble with sizing and comfort. Overall customer service and atmosphere is awesome! read more

The owner is so kind and so helpful! I went to the store today to buy new orthotics and running sneakers and the service was fantastic. They're incredibly knowledgeable and truly care about their customers. Highly recommend! read more

Bob is incredible - one of the best shopping experiences I've had in a while - so happy I didn't buy online and he was able to share his knowledge with me - if you need running shoes and want the right pair go here read more

Good to great selection of sneakers for the whole family. They seem to focus on having the best of the best for athletic sneakers. However, what I loved most was the service! A-maz-ing!!! They measured my feet first and place the sneaker on my foot like to old days when shoe salespersons were really making an effort. Yes, I bought and spent a lot! But my feet are worth it! And I will go back when I need some new sneaks. read more

They seem to have plenty of shoes but dude, how on earth, as a store FOR RUNNERS, do they not have gels and drink mixes and chews?????????? I don't think I could trust a running store without these. read more

Great selection and very knowledgeable staff - Jay. They are extremely helpful finding the right shoe for you and your needs. Will definitely be back! read more

Great customer service!!! Jason could not have been more helpful and took as much time as I needed. He had a great selection of different running shoes and was able to suggest just what I needed. Would recommend this store to anyone just starting out or experienced runners. I also picked up a shirt while I was there. read more

Excellent place to get your running shoes. The guys there are very knowledgeable. Found out I was wearing the wrong type of shoe. They put me through a full profile that included a foot scanner and a visual of how I stand and walk. I was up in the air on two models they recommended but was able to try their treadmill and chose Asics Kayanos They did a video of while I ran on the treadmill and played it back to show me how the shoes would help with my pronation. Love the shoes and the pain is gone. I plan on taking my son there since they have a large selection of kids running shoes too. read more

Whenever I need some awesome new sneakers that are also really comfortable, I always go to The Athlete's Source! They always know exactly what I need and are SO NICE! I wouldn't go anywhere else to get my sneakers. They are also the store recommended by a lot of doctors in the area! They also have a great selection of athletic clothing. They are THE BEST SNEAKER STORE AROUND! read more

Came in here for new running sneakers last week. The store was empty. Service was below par. The owner introduced himself and was distracted. Dillon, although nice, did not seem knowledgeable. Prices were high. Will not be going back. read more

I work for a competitor of The Athlete's Source. When I am not able to provide suitable athletic footwear to my customers, I refer them to Jay, the owner of The Athlete's Source. He is very good to his customers and his footwear knowledge is vast. The Athlete's Source offers many quality athletic shoes and insoles; there is something there for most foot sizes and shapes, different degrees of pronation and enough cushioning options to accommodate runners at all levels--let Jay and his terrific staff fit you! read more

Love this sneaker store. Such a great selection and extremely helpful and knowledgable staff. I've been going here for all my running needs and will never go anywhere else! read more
