Great place to be fitted for running shoes! Buying sneakers online does not compare to the experience of getting personalized advice on the right shoes for your feet, your running habits and local/ seasonal running conditions

I was looking for 15mm cross country spikes, which are difficult to find! After some online searching, I came upon The Runners Shop. I made my order and in less than 24 hours I received a confirmation. Such fantastic service!

I’m happy to make the drive in from the Kawarthas because I know I’m going to get honest advice, great service and quality products. Darren Weldrick brings a level of knowledge and experience that makes a real difference, especially when you’re putting in a lot of miles. It’s become a store I trust and one I’m always comfortable recommending.

I recently bought my first pair of HOKA running shoes as a beginner runner, and I’m so happy with the experience. Huge thanks to Darren for his assessment and help in finding the right shoes for me.

My previous running shoes were Nike, and they caused me really bad blisters, which made me realize that the shoes I had been wearing simply weren’t the right fit for my feet anymore. Darren carefully selected a few different models for me to try, explained the differences, and gave me time to walk around and test them properly.

I ended up loving this color and, most importantly, the comfort. I’m really hoping my blister problems are finally behind me so I can enjoy training without pain

Thank you again, Darren, for the professional assessment, personalized approach, and help in choosing the perfect running shoes. Truly appreciate the care and attention 🏃‍♀️

I don’t really posts reviews but I had to for this one.

I have purchased many news online, this is the first time I received a hand written letter. I was surprised to receive this and very appreciative that someone took the time to write a letter specifically addressed to me about my purchase.

My order came super quick, about a day or two.

Recommend anyone to purchase shoes from this place.

And thanks Ben for the letter! Your gesture is really appreciated! 😊

I'll start by saying I'm not a runner or a person who even understood people had different feet before walking in to this place but am I ever grateful that I did.

I was passing by on a whim and just so happened to make the acquaintance of Darren. When I tell you that Jesus Christ himself could not have had more patience and knowledge than this man, I'm not even exaggerating.

The entire process was smooth as can be , despite my lack of any technical know how or basic understanding of the sport. Darren sat me down and walked me through the different types of feet , the types of cushion one needs vs another, how much support is built into each brand of shoe and the difference in the makes.

I must have asked a billion and 1 questions and this man was a saint , quick twitch the replies and an amazing way of eloquently explaining what each thing meant and how it affected even just walking, jumping, running etc...

I could genuinely go on for hours about how blown away I am that one of the greatest hearts just happens to be residing in a running shop on Bloor Street if all places but I'd rather anyone who sees this go in for themselves and witness greatness first hand.

Genuinely Darren I truly appreciate you and your professionalism and your time , you made a daunting task seem so effortless and I can't thank you enough. Whoever is reading this needs to understand the value of keeping an employee like that around because that is the exact face a business needs to continue to prosper. I genuinely cannot wait to bring my family and friends by!!

My last stop over a couple of days chasing a few specific brands, models and colours… and like other reviewers here, I think I found my new favourite running shoe store.

The staff were friendly and very helpful. The store is welcoming.

And I got a limited edition ASICS that no other store stocked or seemed to even know existed.

The salesman was so helpful and informative. He even put my orthotics in the shoes to help me make sure they fit properly. I left with a great pair of shoes that are comfortable and very supportive.

Sure! Here’s an excellent 5-star review tailored for Google or Yelp, professionally written and emphasizing the great service you received:

⸻

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Exceptional Service & Expert Advice – Thank You, Greg!

I had a fantastic experience at The Runner’s Shop! From the moment I walked in, I felt welcomed and well taken care of. A special shoutout to Greg, who went above and beyond during my visit. He conducted a detailed visual gait analysis, taking the time to understand my medical history before making any recommendations.

Instead of pushing a specific brand or style, Greg presented several great options—including the names of shoes that I had initially considered based on AI-recommendations so I could try them out and find the best fit myself. After spending some time testing a few pairs, I ended up choosing the Brooks—which Greg later told me was the pair he had in mind for me all along! I really appreciated that he allowed me to come to the decision organically rather than steering me from the start.

It’s rare to find someone with both the expertise and the patience to truly guide a customer in the right direction. Greg’s approach was professional, knowledgeable, and completely personalized.

Highly recommend The Runner’s Shop for anyone serious about their foot health, running goals, or simply looking for the right pair of shoes with trusted guidance. I’ll definitely be coming back!

I came in to get some running shoes on Saturday afternoon and I was immediately greeted by Sophia. I showed her a list on my phone of some shoes I wanted to try but wasn’t sure which were best for my feet. She watched me walk and helped me get some shoes that provided enough support for my tread. She was happy to get different shoes and sizes and was happy to answer any questions I had. She was patient, friendly and kind. I left with a pair of shoes I was very happy with. Thank you, Sophia!
