Runners High

The girls at this business were super helpful. I was in and out. Found exactly what I was looking for.

I’m a walker — not a runner and so wasn’t sure if this was the right store for me; but Jamie and Nick hooked me up. They scanned my foot and after trying on only 4 pairs of shoes I found one that felt so great! Great friendly and knowledgeable service. I’ll be back!

I just went here for the first time and it was AWESOME! Josh was super helpful! I feel very confident that my new shoes are the best option for me! I’m very excited to start training for a half marathon with these new bad boys :)

Janna was absolutely amazing! Super helpful for my wife and I on getting appropriate gear and amazing shoes for our upcoming marathon! We will totally be back! Thanks Janna!
We will be back for all our running needs for this race and others in the future.

Great place when you need technical advice. Staff is very knowledgable. Mirjana did a great job working with me on a plantar issue I’ve been having.

Jana is amazing! She fit me to a pair of shoes per my spine and neck issues like no one else has ever been able to do. She heard my concerns and her infinite knowledge made the perfect fit for me. I am 65 yrs young and went back for another pair yesterday and am still well pleased and will keep coming back. What a relief to my back and neck! Thank you, thank you! Kathleen M

I am a teacher so I am on my feet all day. I was having a hard time with planter fasciitis and a friend suggested that I visit Runners High. I did. Mirjana was working that day. She asked me questions, watched me walk, and helped me find a pair of shoes. Just by picking out the right pair of shoes, my planter fasciitis went away. I am forever grateful for her help! It literally changed my life!
I just went back today for another pair and she helped me out again. Thank you!

I went to Runners in need of shoes to relieve foot pain and help finding and sizing of the right shoes. Jana was very helpful and gave me options and a few shoes to try on.
After one week of breaking the shoes in I am back running with no pain. I recommend this store to anyone looking for good advice.
I will be going back for a second pair soon!

Run to Runners High if you are looking for shoes that fit, support your feet and the idiosyncrasies of your feet and your gait.
My husband and I visited the store in search of new shoes. Willie and Jana worked with us as they watched how we walked and listened to our thoughts on previous running shoes and the comfort of our feet as well as the impact to our knees and body as we walked and ran.
The end result… perfect shoes for both of us.
Great customer service. Personalized service. Great selection of shoes.

I want to give a shout out to Runners High. Their staff is extremely knowledgeable and helpful, and they are friendly and easy to work with too. If they don’t have what you want, they will order it and call you within a few days. I was especially impressed when they refunded my money without any hassle because the fit turned out to be too tight, even though I had worn the shoes several times and purchased them months earlier! That is true customer service, and reflective of a company that truly wants their customers to be in the right shoe!

I went to this store looking for running shoes for my husband and Nick was very helpful in finding the right shoes for his need.

This place is great. I went to pick up some shoes and was so happy with the level of attention that we had from the girl that helped us out. I did not get her name, but it was Saturday and she was so friendly. She helped me choose the right shoe for me. I am happy with my new shoes and exited to get to working out. Good job, to this person. Sorry for not getting your name.

I won’t shop anywhere else when I need comfortable shoes that work for ME!
No fast talking sales here, just helpful, friendly and professional staff that strive to find you the right shoe at the right price!
Both stores in Long Beach offer excellent service and quality that is unsurpassed.

Great store! very knowledgeable people that are willing to help in a clean store! They also sponsor a running club called team RUNNERS HIGH is very friendly and run from the store on Thursday nights. They’ve also hosted some theme runs like the day before Halloween they did a glow run with a ton of fun!

This place was a godsend. Thanks again for fixing me up with the right type of shoe, customer forever.

We discovered Runners High walking on our way to go eat at a nearby restaurant. We were too early for the restaurant so we decided to kill time here. We’re training for the LB Half Marathon so why not peep in.
Josh approached us and asked if we had been there before — which was a no. He went on to explain that he fits everyone for shoes that would be most beneficial and then makes recommendations based on the assessment.
The assessment consisted of me walking without shoes down and back towards the door. Based on how I walked, he told me that I wasn’t flat-​footed but that I have a low arch. He then went on to recommend a few pairs that would provide the correct support that I needed. Once I narrowed it down, he assisted me in putting it on and making sure it was a good fit.
Excellent customer service by Josh. He answered all my questions to my satisfaction and showed that he is knowledgable about the products he is selling. We ended up buying 3 pairs of shoes at approximately $ 150 each and have no regrets, and an invest in my health.
At first glance, the shoe styles weren’t my cup-​of-​tea (I prefer the simple yet colorful styles of Nike), but after trying on Asics, I was a changed woman. The style has grown on me and the comfort definitely outweighs the looks — «it’s whats on the inside that counts» applies to running shoes, too — ha!
We’ve gone running with our new shoes and can tell that we are now properly supported. I bought another pair of shoes for work and they too have been so comfortable. Before coming here, I was wearing the wrong shoes.
Although a little pricey, I believe that the shoes are worth every penny. Get fitted and get running!

I love that when I walked in the store, I wasn’t bombarded with a bunch of sales associates trying to make their commission. I found the staff very knowledgeable and helpful. With just walking in my socks, the store associate was able to determine what sneakers would provide me the best support. I tried the shoe on and instantly I was sold. I loved their approach as the sales process was focused on educating me rather than just selling me on buying their product.

I currently train Muay Thai and Jiu Jitsu. These training sessions are done barefooted. My Muay Thai trainer decided to add jogging cardio to the end of the training sessions on Fridays. I have NEVER run before and our first jog was 2 miles. My feet and shins were killing me afterwards, but it was pretty rewarding to do something that I have resisted for so long and complete it.
Upon driving home I convinced myself that I wanted to train more and be ready for this weekly jog. I knew that I needed to invest in some good running shoes. I live close to Runners High in Belmont Shore, so I stopped in to get some advice. The sales clerk was very informative and helpful. She recommended the Brooks brand based on my stride and foot pressure points. I feel confident that these shoes will provide the support and comfort I need to make my jogs more enjoyable.
Thank you Runners High… I’ll be back when I need another pair!

I continue to be a walking (or running) contradiction. It’s true these Unilocal reviews are often based on one experience. Someone was nasty to me because i rated a Ross when it first opened; how dare i not go back and try again?
The guy working here figured out on the phone what shoe i needed. He ordered it custom, along with a 2^nd size just in case. We went over roll bar, toe box, cement vs treadmill, arch support, one foot bigger than the other, all by phone.
My shoes are like support pillows. I cannot wait to put them on and walk some more.
So why the still one star? See my prior rating.
Take heart. Unilocal seems to give my reviews the middle finger and delete them anyway…

Small shop in my new favorite get-​away part of Long Beach. We have been here twice since February, and have gotten exemplary customer service each time.
First I bought a pair of running shoes in February for a 5/​10K coming up in April. Wonderful time, was shown several different shoes, and given great tips.
Last weekend, wife and I returned for her own shoes. Different co-​worker, but the same outstanding service.
This store absolutely gets it. Consistency and care for their customers. They earned 2 customers for life.
Good job guys!
