Ken, at the Running Place, spent a great deal of time with me yesterday, fitting me into a new pair of sneakers. My left foot hurt, I was having difficulty walking, and I wasn’t sure if the orthotics that the podiatrist had given me were working. I wore the sneakers, with the orthotics, out of the store, and am happy to say, I have no foot pain.

Truly excellent. Staff was warm and extremely helpful. You really feel that they are looking out for your best interests and helping you find the best match for you. Turns out I have been wearing the wrong size for years. I am super pleased with the service and would definitely recommend, especially if you are dealing with foot pain.

The customer service and quality of product is EXCELLENT. I went in without an appointment and got helped right away. I have a problem on my feet and brought in my orthotics. The staff member was very attentive to my needs, measured my feet, made me walk barefoot, and without any hesitation brought out four different styles of running shoes that could have helped me. The staff member was very knowledgeable. I highly recommend this place to anyone looking for a new place of shoes, regardless of how experienced you are at running. I've been running for more than a decade on trails and the pair of shoes recommended by the staff member are the best pair of running shoes I've ever had. The prices are very competitive with the market.

Wonderful local store for your running or walking needs, or to just get a good pair of sneakers. We only buy our sneakers here because the staff works with you, one on one, to find the best fit, and they are trained to actually help you rather than just fetch whatever you ask for. We've loved the sneakers we get here (we're not runners so just use them for walking and everyday use) and keep coming back because the employees and owners give such great service. The store has running groups and classes, and I took a walking class and joined the walking group - though with COVID that hasn't been happening - and it was a wonderful experience. This can be a great place to connect with other people who enjoy what you enjoy.

Questions & Answers

Do you carry books on walking because that is the only thing i can do, no more running because i had a truamatic brain injury when i feel and i disabled. Out of work for two years and still recovering. Thanks

I am very sorry but we do not carry any books anymore, due to lack of interest. I recommend popping over to the Broomall - Barnes & Noble to see what they might have on the subject. We do have a walking/running group, that has been put on hold, since Covid-19 hit. This is a Monday night group that will get up and going again, hopefully by the fall. You can pop on to our Facebook account or website to check for updates. Be well, Mr. Ken
