My friend suggested me this place, though it took me time to find the store, as I was not much familiar to the area. But I must say, it was a great shopping experience. The staff are friendly and extremely knowledgeable...and yes.. I got my perfect pair of running shoes..

I have given this store two tries, and they only had one job - to fit me in the right shoes for me, and both times they did not do a good job. the first time, I was given the shoes that gave too much support and the second time they sold me an already discontinued model that gave me blisters from hell.
the third time, I did an extensive research and went to the Running Room, where I bought the... more

Awesome service, very personable and extremely knowledgeable. I'll return in a few hundred k :-)

I can't believe it, after spending several hours in this great place, I actually left with a pair of amazingly comfortable running shoes. I came here because of the Yelp reviews, my feet have always been hard to fit. I am old school and expect decent service that is professional and knowledgeable. My experience:

1. First went to Running Room at Leslie/York Mills. I mentioned "kinda wide" and... more

A small store hidden away in an office building with a patient personal touch!!!

Came here after having bought the wrong shoes at another store a few months back and after trying to find shoes at the Running Room location in Rosedale (poor wide size selection). The gentleman here patiently helped me try on a 5-6 pairs of shoes, checking the toe space, width, having me run down the building... more

Location is quite hard to find if you don't know the area. The store is located in an office building, but at the very back of the building via a long hallway.

The store itself is quite small, but they seem to offer everything that a runner may need and offer brand names merchandise.

The staff can be a hit or miss, but for the most part are usually quite friendly and will acknowledge me as I... more

After reading so many good reviews I was looking forward to visit the store. I am sorry to say that I did not have a great experience.

OK, I am not the sportiest looking person ever. I still run, and I wanted to buy a pair of running shoes. I stepped in there were two staff there. One greeted me right away and another protein bar eating, sporty looking runner in full running gear was reading a... more

BEST EXPERIENCE IN A SPORTING STORE EVER!!!!!!

Alright, that is an extremely subjective statement, but I stand behind it 100%.

After 2 years of hard work, my current runners were ready to be chucked right out, and I desperately needed a pair to replace them. They were from an *ahem* other running store downtown, and I was really not pleased with the service. After hearing good things re: The... more

Best place to get the proper runing shoes in Toronto. Highly skilled staff, wide selection and totally unbiased to brands or price point. They simply want to get the right shoe for you. Great experience!

I am giving them "only" four stars as I'd hope they had a wider selection of clothing. It's great, but not "five star" great.

The Runner's Shop is where I always go to buy shoes now. Got some at New Balance, feet in agony and lost a nail, went to Runners Shop and they took one look at the shoes and my feet and diagnosed the problem. And found the right shoes for me.

They only carry brands that actually function, not just look good, and I've spend as little as $90 and as much as $150. Haven't been let down by their... more

Great place to buy running shoes. They can watch you run down the hall and recommend some shoes that fit properly for you running style. Friendly and not pushy.

The Running Clinics
The running clinics are very supportive. The coach designs a personalized program for you, and you are assigned a group that runs at your current mileage and pace. For the very slow runners there is always a club member to accompany you and you are never left to run on your own. The clinic really does their best to accommodate your ability and pace and they give really good... more

This is where I bought my most recent pair of running shoes and I will be back for sure. The staff are very attentive and know the mechanics of running. They take a look at your feet and current shoes (if you've brought them) as well as your stance and gait, AND they ask you about any injuries you've had. Only then do they start bringing you shoes to try on, and they don't stick to just one... more
