Running Wild

Wonderful folks. Great products and decent prices.

Usually very nice staff and easy to deal with, my greatest disappointment came on my recent visit to the store.
I have a $$ store credit, but couldn’t use it, they sad was not on the computer, when they gave the credit I was told I wouldn’t need any receipt to redeem it, just show my iD with my name and would be able to locate, well, that didn’t happen, plus I was treated like a fraud.
Can’t believe I won’t be able to shop or recommend #RunningWild any longer.

Honest, knowledgeable, exceptional customer experience. I was traveling, lost my running shoes and managed to sprain my ankle. I was desperate, I would have purchased anything. They thoughtfully worked through the right shoes and talked me out of buying all sorts of stuff they thought was unnecessary. I have been a runner for many years and to meet owners that are so completely knowledgeable about their product and COMPLETELY honest and customer centered is rare. I would have purchased lots more stuff and they put my interest over their profit. I wish I could give them 10-​stars! Wish they were in Tucson, I would be their most loyal customer.

Is a small but effective store. The staff is friendly and knowledgeable. In the short time we were there Barb taught us a few things we didn’t know. Highly recommend Running Wild!

Terrible staff and gave me attitude when I asked for them to put my new laces on my shoes. I was the only one there. Lol.

I had arthroscopic surgery a year ago and my knee never really recovered from it. Week after week of Physical Therapy only got me so far.
I was recommended to try a new sneaker that would give me more support so I Unilocaled and found Running Wild. I explained my issue and they took my foot measurements and just 4 pairs the pain had subsided! They had me walk around the store to measure my gait and we decided that the Brooks was the best for me. The price was fair and later research shows me I could not buy the Brooks on line any cheaper.
I love the service, and the pain is good! Thank you, Running Wild!

This is an adorable little running shoe shop that I wish I found sooner. They are always happy to help you find the shoe that fits you best. No matter how many you have to try on. They even ordered the shoes in my size and called me when it arrived. Their prices are fair as well.

The selection is small, and prices aren’t great… The staff is knowledgeable, friendly and attentive. Most importantly, the store has a great return policy.
If the store has what you are looking for, you will be extremely happy having taken the trip there.
The store does not have a treadmill. As such, be sure to purchase a shoe you did your research on.
The store has various brands, but not always the newest models. The owner is a talented marathon runner and an overall great individual. the store has a great running group that heads out on Thursdays.

Had such a great experience picking up new running shoes. I’ve been having trouble finding the right fit and being able to run comfortably. I shared my concerns and within minutes I learned what I should be looking for and had my feet in the most comfortable shoe I’d come across yet. I found just what I needed with the help of a really patient, knowledgeable, and kind staff. Would definitely recommend Running Wild and I’ll be back!

What a great place! We were greeted by the owner who immediately helped identify my needs, measured my feet, showed me my options and taught me strategies for good running health. I was impressed with the selection and careful attention to details. But definitely most impressive was the kindness and thoughtful of the service. It’s a testament to the benefits of supporting local small businesses.

I purchased some new running shoes from Running Wild this weekend. The service was top notch. They helped me identify wear patterns on my old running shoes to make sure I was in the right type of shoe and then made a few recommendations. Prices were in line with online retailers, but the service and recommendations were so good I would have paid a few extra dollars to buy from this local store. They also have a nice selection of running related items like socks (Balega, Thorlos, etc.) and laces.

We usually go to the chain stores (Dick’s Sporting Goods, Sports Authority) to look for running shoes. While the staff at these stores are helpful if you can find them they are not really knowledgeable. So we took a chance and looking for a specialty running store…
We found Running Wild on East Sunrise Blvd and hit the mother load! Robert was our salesman. A very knowledgeable, former professional pilot who just happens to be a track coach at one of the surrounding schools.
He started with my wife. Had her walk up and down the store while watching her feet and posture. Then he came up with shoe options and explained how they support her foot and had her walk around. After about 15 minutes she found the shoes that felt great and supported her foot properly.
Then he had me do the same and examined my asics which I had brought with me. He examined the shoes and explained the wear pattern. He had me try on different pairs of Brooks running shoes and I could immediately feel the difference between the various models as well the major difference from my asics.
Now your probably wondering about the price. I am a firm believer in you get what you pay for. The shoes averaged about $ 140.00 but with Brooks you have thirty days and if your not happy with them you can return them.
Bottom line is we had a great experience, we were no pushed into any specific shoes and were fortunate enough to get a great salesman who educated us about running and shoe construction. We will definitely go back in the future!
Thanks Robert!!!
