I’ve been looking into getting running shoes but didn’t know where to start or what shoes I would be interested in. Heard of the store RoadRunner and decided to drag my mom and sister along. Immediately greeted by the friendly staff and she helped us get in a queue to get all of feet scanned.
Extremely happy the VIP experience. I was able to get the best running shoes with the 90 day perfect fit guarantee. I am a senior who started running recently, but after a training with a top app. and my perfect-for-me shoes I completed the United Airlines NYC 1/2 Marathon. No feet pain at all !!!!
Wow. From beginning to end the experience was so welcoming, informative and genuine. We had an amazing young man named Peter who helped me pick out a pair of shoes for my upcoming half Marathon training.
