The Running Center Tampa Bay

Great store. The shopkeeper was very nice and helpful. I walked out with two pairs of New Balance which I really like.

If you want to talk to someone who really knows what they’re talking about, come to this place. Im not a runner, but I’m very picky with my foot comfort. Half of the battle of finding the right shoes is the foot science, the other half is your personal comfort preferences.

At 50, I’ve never needed specific types of shoes until waking up with plantar fasciitis 3 yrs ago. Since then, I’ve needed “good, arch support“ shoes. So, when I needed to get new sneakers, a friend recommended the Running Center (they helped her identify a foot strike issue). Marc and Claudia were beyond helpful.

Just shopped with Chloe! Absolutely amazing atmosphere, staff and selection! She was super educational and personable, made me feel like I could run a marathon tomorrow and I’m just getting started. Absolutely love this place and definitely will be back!

I visited The Running Center for the first time yesterday, and had an amazing experience. The staff were kind and extremely helpful. I went in with a fixed idea of what I wanted, and with their knowledge and expertise I purchased a different brand which were much better for me.
