Hansons Running Shop

Just bought my husband a new pair of Brooks. They did not have one style in his size, so they are sending them over from another store. He is a happy man and now his feet are happier too!

Hanson’s stores are really the best places to go for running gear. It’s the only business I’ve bought my running shoes from for many years. The only staff they seem to hire are themselves all running enthusiasts. And they know how to make sure you get a great fit. Their merchandise is top notch. Not just shoes, but all things related to running and track. If you’re serious about running, avoid the mega sporting goods stores, and support this excellent local business.

I’ve been to this store numerous times out of pure convenience. I find the majority of the staff to be condescending and lack basic customer service skills. I will be branching out and trying a different store for my next pair of shoes.

This was my first purchase at this shop. I was fitted for shoes that were recommended to me by the sales rep and was told that I have high arches. After years of running this was news to me seeing that I’ve never had any trouble, but – against my better judgement – I «trusted the pros» and purchased the recommended shoe. After running in these shoes I developed very painful soreness in my arches, something that I’ve never experienced (again, I’ve been running for years). I called Hanson’s explaining the situation and the told me that I was out of luck because I wore them outside. They offered me no solutions, and only offered to sell me a better fitting shoe. No customer care, no accommodating service.
If they were able to work with me on this situation I would have told everyone how wonderful they are, but now I’m just frustrated and disappointed… and sore.
I’m off to Runnin’ Gear.

I needed a new pair of running shoes to start off the new year right. I came here upon recommendation and I’m glad I did. After numerous problems with other shoes, I wanted a professional opinion on which shoe I should purchase. The fella that helped me was great. He had me take my shoes off and watched the way I walked, asked me about my issues, and brought me out the shoes he thought would work for me. I tried on several pairs and ran around the store testing them out. This must have went on for at least a ½ hour and he didn’t complain once :) I found THE pair and can’t wait to run in them. Thank You Hanson’s!
