Portland may have the best runner-to-shop ratio on this list, and nearly every store here does a proper fitting. The homegrown Foot Traffic chain covers the Northeast, Sellwood, the west side, and NW 23rd; Fleet Feet anchors Slabtown; Road Runner Sports sits in Nob Hill; and Portland Running Co. pairs its NW Raleigh shop with an actual run-club pub. Rain is the local training partner — the shops are used to sending you back out into it.

Good selection of running shoes and trail runners for such a small shop. There can be a long wait if there's more than one or two customers. Staff are very friendly, they once went out of their way to help me with an exchange.
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 5-Star Review: Roadrunner Sports Roadrunner Sports absolutely deserves five stars. The customer service here is phenomenal—truly above and beyond. They took their time with me and patiently walked me through five different pairs of shoes until we found the perfect fit.
Awesome selection of running shoes. Courteous, knowledgeable staff! They have running groups. Stop by and checkout their schedule!
