ON Cloudrunners 2
Jimmy S.

The staff here is great and very patient and knowledgeable about finding the right running shoes. They had a large selection and variety of shoes and able to let me try on each one and advise me on how each one feels and recommendations on what to decide on. I ended up with the ON Cloudrunners 2 which has been good so far. They're very aware of your injuries and running style and foot arch and other stuff to give you a good enough idea of what kind of shoe fits your body. They do occasionally run out of shoes to try and models so it will be a seasonal thing where you might not find the shoe you like. However, they will do everything in their power to get you the shoe you want if it's not in stock which is great service from them. Also there's a donation box for used shoes which is awesome in recycling your used worn shoes.

Jeff honored the stores return policy even though it was my mistake, it's hard to find a company that puts customer service first. Thank you

They assessed my running style and suggested a pair that immediately felt great and were much less expensive than my old shoes.

Today I had the pleasure of going to Dick's El Segundo to purchase some items for the LA marathon…read more I went to the cashier and was attempting to sound out the young man's name. I pronounced it all wrong and he politely corrected me and said it's pronounced Malachi. We laughed because he stated I wasn't the only one that mis pronounced his name. All in all he was amazing and has a bright future ahead of him! Thanks for the great customer service!

Customer service doesnt exist here. Jaslene was our cashier…read more The transaction experience was awful. My husband had a little sticker shock at the register for the 26 lb weight we were buying. He took a moment because he thought it was a little less online. When he asked "and that's the total with tax?". Normally you hear back a confirmation but instead she said no with tax it's $73.62. Mind you we were at the register to pay not for a price check. My husband was looking at his phone and she blurts out "you want it or not?". We told her yes but I had to explain to her he is just taking a moment to look up the price. Normally someone at the register gives the total price when purchasing not sub total. I walked away once my husband got the receipt and was already a good ways away from the register and she yells out "Good Bye!" In the most patronizing tone. It was the cherry on top for this review. We are all human and can do better but this right here is why online shopping and self check out is putting cashiers out of jobs. Maybe she should remember that the next time she wants to be unjustifiably rude and try to make people feel less than with "you want it or not?". So if you want your intentions to be buy something rudely questioned in front of other guests than this is the place and Jaslene is your go to.

I love great customer service and that's exactly what I received today at Front Runners. I called…read morebefore I went in to inquire about the foot scan and Michael was very kind and helpful. When I went into the store and started to look around, a gentleman came out & said someone would be right with me. A few seconds later, Tehani (Assistant Manager) approached me and asked how she could help me. Well she did just that and more!! We did the scan and I was so shocked when she told me my shoe size! I've been wrong all 40 yrs of my life! My right foot is a half size bigger She also had me walk and noticed that my feet leaned inward. Based on the results of the scan & her observation, she recommended Hokas and Brooks. I initially came into the store for the Hoka Gaviota but she suggested the Arahis for me. Unfortunately, they didn't have the size in the color that I wanted so I'll order them online. however, she did also help me with some shoe inserts for my current pair of tennis shoes and some Oofa slides to wear in the house. I'm so used to wear slippers but these slides feel so great on my achy heel and arches. Honestly, my feet already feel a lot better from just from walking with the new inserts. The Oofas were a little more in cost than I saw online but it was so worth the experience and the knowledge I received from Tehani. I would definitely shop with them again. The store is very easy to find when you're driving down Hawthorne and there's PLENTY of parking. All of the staff were welcoming! 5 stars

I have been looking for a new pair of running shoes for literal months. I pronate really bad and…read moredon't like a lot of forward tilt in my shoes so I've been struggling to find a good shoe that was comfortable and usable for walking, training, and light running. This was my first time at front runners and I'm so happy I decided to come in here! The staff were very helpful and knowledgeable and with their help I was finally able to find a shoe that works! I'm so happy with my purchase and recommend this store to anyone in Torrance looking for new running gear.
