Highland Runners

Great experience at Highland Runners ! The staff were nice and knowledgable. They even had the Newton shoes I was looking for ! The location is a little off the beaten path, but the customer service definitely makes up for it

Just bought my second pair of On shoes — the shoes are tremendous, and I am big fan of the store. Luke worked with us on both purchases, and he is very knowledgable and totally easy to work with. It’s great to have such a wonderful and welcomed resource in the neighborhood.

Really excellent employees and customer service. A great selection of items and friendly, helpful staff. Big fan of this store!

First time here and walked out with two new pairs of shoes. Very knowledgable staff and best selection I have ever seen for minimalist running. If you are looking for a running store that has Nike or whatever the high school kids wear because they are trying to be cool, this is not your store but if you are into the minimalist running shoes they have an amazing selection and they showed me shoes that I would have never tried and loved them all. Will absolutely be back!

Thank God these guys came to Atlanta. You won’t find a better selection of natural running shoes in the southeast, and you definitely won’t find better customer service or a staff as knowledgeable about roomy toeboxes, zero drop, and light weight shoes (I tried to stump ‘em, but couldn’t!). A newbie could get intimidated, but these guys are so friendly and helpful they make you feel right at home. A real asset to the community!

My favorite thing about Highland Runners is their customer service. I was in the market for a new pair of running shoes, but I wasn’t really sure what the best shoe for me would be. I got all of my questions answered at my initial visit. I went home and thought of more questions, went back, and got those answered as well. It is nice to find a store that really cares about their customers. They also offer free yoga and barre classes occasionally on the weekends which are great. They seem to have a small but high quality selection of running gear, which I appreciate. Quality over quantity! If you are in the market for anything running, I’d suggest you give this place a try!

The guys who I’ve met there are the sweetest, most enthusiastic guys of any running store you’ll ever meet. I went in there while in the neighborhood JUST TO GET SOCKS. Of course, they got me interested in natural running so I bought my first pair of Newtons and they gave me guidance on how I should run. It was pretty close to my natural style, but I took their tips and my great new shoes and I focus on doing it whenever I run.
No hard sell either, they are just so sweet and sincere that I thought, why not?
I run better and enjoy it more the natural way — so now I’m hooked — I won’t get any other kind of shoes and I’ll be a natural runner for life — and I can be because natural running means less chance of injuries that hobble most runners.
Plus they have cute workout clothes (small selection but great sales and somehow had my unusual size jog bra (30 band with a larger cup) which is rarely available anywhere but specialty shops. I love the stretchy «shoe laces» — I’ll never use regular laces again either btw.
Ok, clearly I am a fan but best of all — I love the guys there — I think one of them is the owner Alec. The guys always greet you with great smiles & enthusiasm.

Lurve! Yes, that’s right. It’s better than love. It’s lurve.
There is no better way to officially get out of winter bear hibernation and kick off spring training season that a new pair of running shoes. I’ve been devoted to Newtons for three years and six pairs now. They are magical. It’s like being a unicorn frolicking on clouds. Once you go Newton, you never go back. #hellobetter You get the point, I am a diehard natural runner.
I met the owner Alec when Highland Runners had a tent set up at the Atlanta Intown 10k, learned about the store, and went there immediately thereafter in search of my new shoes. I cannot even begin to describe how awesome it was to discover an entire store dedicated to natural running and with a super knowledgeable and friendly owner to boot. If you’re a serious runner, you will love, love, love this place. It’s small and perfectly well edited — everything you need in one shop and not a Nike in sight!
I’m totally sold on Highland Runners and the proud owner of an obnoxiously neon pink pair of Newtons. They have a run club followed by pizza and beer on Tuesday that I really want to battle traffic to try it out one day. Check out Highland Runners and I promise you won’t be disappointed.

Purchased my first pair of Innov8 shoes today as have been into this cross fitting thing for a couple of months. Asked lots of questions and Alec was very helpful. They have a nice selection of good looking shoes you don’t see everywhere and seem to be on the cutting edge of what is new. Glad I went in and it is good to know that there is a knowledgeable and stylish running store within an easy jog of my house! Like their facebook page for more info including times for the group runs!

Great store for natural running. Alec, the store owner, is really helpful and knowledgeable. He has a lot of representatives come in from different shoe companies so it’s best to check out the Facebook page to keep updated on when they come in. I bought my first pair of Newtons here and they sell running clothes and accessories as well.
Currently they have two running groups, one on Sunday and one on Tuesday at 6:00 p.m. I went a few times and met some really great people. I believe a pizza and beer party is usually held on the last Tuesday of every month after the run.

Great place for anyone making the switch to natural running, or just looking for good running gear. Alec is the man– very helpful, genuine guy that really is trying to help you improve.

Great place for natural runners. I had an awesome experience as a newbie to real natural running shoes, and consider this my go to place when it comes to my running needs! The manager/​owner was helpful and knowledgeable as well as upbeat and passionate about running.
