Every time I visit Nice Kicks SF -- whether it's the one on Haight or Valencia -- the experience is…read morealways amazing! The staff are super friendly, and their customer service is truly 100%. They always have the latest trends, great prices, and a solid selection of shoes. I make it a point to stop by every time I'm in California or San Francisco because they never disappoint. The employees at both locations are so knowledgeable, helpful, and just overall good vibes. If you're into sneakers or streetwear, definitely support these guys and grab yourself a pair -- you'll leave happy every time!

He not only greeted me very kindly but didn't hesitate to provide any help that I needed. He helped me find sizes for shoes and shirts. I even picked up a Nike windbreaker before I was ready to buy the one shirt I picked out and he went to grab a new one instead of letting me grab the one from the rack. Exceptional service, sadly I'm not a local here but if I'm ever back in SF you already know I'm coming back here!

My boyfriend just finished buying a pair of shoes here. He is tough to fit (14EEEE). He came home…read moreexcited about being able to try on not just one, not just two, but five different styles of shoes. They took their time and didn't get exasperated. Explained the differences in shoes, the foam types, got into the weeds of different running styles. Really great experience. And the price was the same as online or a big box. Fantastic work Ivy H and OtR. You'll be our first stop from now on. Thank you.

After many years of being disabled, I was able to regain my mobility last year through surgery…read more Now that I can walk again, that's all I want to do. Strap on my sneakers and walk, walk, walk. Unfortunately for my feet and back, my sneakers of choice are Converse. I have no less than 10 pairs, but not one of them is suitable for the type and volume of walking I'm doing now. I could have easily gone to a DSW or Foot Locker for walking shoes, but knowing myself I would have spun into a spiral of analysis paralysis, second-guessing, and doubt. Instead, I decided to visit On The Run, which I knew about from a former boss who was very particular about her footwear due to her own orthopedic issues. As soon as I walked in, I was greeted by sales associate Rahnsom. He led me to a chair and began asking exploratory questions to get a sense of my needs. He took measurements and had me walk around a bit in my socks to see what my feet and ankles were doing. With this information he was able to immediately pull 4 shoes that fit perfectly. He helped me into each pair and had me walk around the store and go up and down a little hiking simulator to test how they felt. He chose very well. Out of the first three pairs, I could have easily walked out with two of them and been happy. Even the pair that I would have passed on was comfortable but a little too high for clumsy me. When I tried on the fourth pair, though, the Goldilocks in me knew that these shoes were just right. Regarding pricing, my particular pair of New Balance was $199. Coming from a Converse budget that may have seemed high, but I was determined to invest in my comfort and safety. Additionally, I place great value on the personalized service and information that Rahnsom provided. Had I gone to a "regular" retail store, I am certain I would have wasted money on the wrong shoe. For example, I had zero idea I was actually an 8 wide. I would have bought a size 9 shoe like I usually do then would have suffered - like I usually do - with a pair that was still too narrow in the front but with my heels moving up and down in the back as I walk. Out of curiosity I just checked online for prices elsewhere on my shoes and I consistently found them at $199. So, in my personal experience so far, On The Run isn't necessarily pricier than other stores. Even if it is, I can't put a price on being able to find the perfect shoe for my situation, in record time and with zero angst and indecision.

Apparently, due to inventory loss, the customer can only try one shoe at a time. When I was ready to try the right shoe, they summarily ignored me, even though I was ready to purchase. Don't bother wasting your time. Purchase elsewhere. NOT RECOMMENDED! At least six employees standing doing nothing. Maybe time to cut unproductive staff. By the way the door says to pull, but there is no handle, to deter shoplifters, which is certainly a fire safety code violation.

Meanwhile, Blicks on the same block was so cool about it, and their store is way more crowded with stuff. From the outside peeking in, BAIT looked very spacious, like a fairly recent pop up, so I really don't understand the no bikes policy. If anything, they should put a couple of bike racks inside to invite more business. Most businesses on Market St actually don't mind bikes inside so as long as you're respectful about it. But BAIT didn't even give me a chance to spend my money. Bummer.

For a store like this in a city like this I can see why they'd be cautious or would fully neglect to answer questions on the items they have in stock. It's better to go in. Customer service was cool. It wasn't a busy day and I got to try on some shoes I was interested in. There was one pair though that wasn't on the shelf and I didn't know it was some popular release. Apparently they were the Dime x Asics and the person who won never came to pick them up. They're a nice basic shoe. I'd say if you pay attention to subtle details you'd like the slight brown ombre on the shoe. Anyway, after trying on AJ1 lows that were comfy, and another pair of AJ1Mids in women's that I would have bought had they been available in my actual size and not a half size down, I walked out with the Asics. Customer service was great because the associate helping me was actually helpful. They brought me the shoes I wanted and after small talk it seemed like they picked up on the fact that I'm a bit of a sneaker lover, hence the recommendation for the shoes that were a collab and sold out everywhere release. I'm glad they were in my size. Also, they gave me the info to find the shoes that I wanted in my size on their website. Anyway, cool store and cool location.

The store layout is pretty nifty and they utilise every inch of space to display merchandise and items for sale. Their selection of boots and shoes was pretty good and yet they seemed to only have them all in one or two sizes that were not typical sizes for guys. I'm unsure if that is normal and how they stick their items, or if they were just low on inventory the time we visited. Overall it was a cute little shop and one I would have just passed over as I knew going in they'd not have anything of interest to me. Might be back again to browse with the person I'm seeing, ya never know!
