Red Dirt Running Company

This is a great store for runners and cyclists, though I am not completely in love with it. It has the essentials and has introduced me to TailWind (which is hard to come by unless you order online), but the customer service isn’t the best.
I currently live in Chicago (born and raised in Omaha, and visit at least once a month) — I tend to try to make it in once a month to stock up on my Tailwind and see what merch they have in store. Every time I have gone in it has been kind of awkward — usually no one else in the store, and they don’t make small talk, they ask me if I need help and since I don’t they leave me alone (but it’s awkward because its so quiet in there and I feel uncomfortable).
Yesterday was the only day anyone working has ever made small talk with me and I think it’s only because I had my dog with me and she was talking about him. ALSO — it was the only time I’ve seen a woman working there, and shes been the only friendly one I’ve come across.

This is a must go for any runner in Omaha. Great selection, staff is amazing. They really take the time to understand what you and your needs as a runner.

My husband and I went here, based on the Unilocal review and location of the store, because I was tired of spending the money for walking/​running shoes, only to have them still hurt my feet. Red Dirt Running, did an analysis and fitted us both for new tennis shoes based on our needs. For the same price that I would have spent at any average shoe store, we got a pair of name brand shoes that properly fit and support our feet. Friendly, knowledgeable staff, happy to help no matter what stage you are in, walking, running, marathons etc. Give them a shot!

Red Dirt Running is an awesome store and we are lucky to have them in Omaha! I came here after trying to venture out of The Sports Authority or Scheel’s. Scheel’s prices are outrageous and The Sports Authority employees aren’t the most knowledgable. Here at Red Dirt they know exactly what they are talking about.
I recently stated to get more into running. I knew next to nothing about running shoes or form or running related injuries. I came in to get a new pair of shoes and found that I was running in a type of shoe that was unnecessary for me. They carry a large variety of brands and prices, though only from the best. I’m talking Nike, Adidas, Saucony, Mizuno, Brooks, Asics, you get the idea. I ended up leaving with a pair of Brooks that are leaps and bounds better than any shoes I’ve worn before. I also figured out I should be wearing a wide size (which is why I now have a large callus on my left foot). They put you through an entire fitting process where they determine size/​type of shoe.
I was also able to talk to them about several running related pains/​injuries I was experiencing. They were helpful and knowledgeable but still recommended I see a physical therapist. I’m glad they will try and help you with your problems but admit they don’t know enough to diagnose anything! I’ll keep coming back any time I have running related needs!
