I visited this store for the first time in 2021 and changed completely my running experience. From the shoe fitting, to the very good advice on pros/cons of each shoe.I came back last weekend to buy new running shoes. It was time to retire the old ones and I would not trust my running shoes to any other store!Also: very dog friendly store ?

Went in yesterday trying to find new shoes for my son who runs cross country. His shoes were toast - like he was running on bald tires. I noticed this when he basically dirt skied down a hill when we went hiking last week. I'm an attentive parent like that.Went into to Athletic Treads and was helped by Jacob and at times Andres. They compliment each other well - with different types of running experiences and preferences. Jacob would sometimes refer to Andres regarding his past cross country team experience.Fantastic experience will return - Jacob....*talked to my son as much as to me (though his communication is generally 'yeah, that feels good.' 'that too.' 'yeah, they're all good.')*somehow managed to find a great shoe with this communication through expertise, experience, their treadmill and knowing the brands.*gave us a variety to choose from and told us why he chose eachI bought 2 socks for no other reason than I was pleased with the service because my son said of the socks "Yeah, they feel good. Like what I have at home." Ahhhh, parenting.

I came in search of nice running shoes since I've been running longer distances and my Adidas were not cutting it anymore. My fiancé and I worked with Rachel to have our gait analyzed.Her eyes are so experienced because she immediately identified our walking pattern and which areas of the feet we tended to lean on. She recommended stability shoes for both of us and we both walked out of the store with the most comfortable ASICS we've ever worn. I've already worn my new shoes on a few 5k runs and I can immediately tell the difference in my form and endurance.Aside from shoes, this store also sells other running gear such as performance socks and lightweight hats. There is an entire sandal section as well. Rachel was so patient with us and amazing to work with.I highly recommend this store to any runner in search of high-quality, comfortable shoes that offer a premium experience.

This is the second time I've bought shoes here. Service is great! I just tell them what I need: trail shoes with wide toe box, and they bring out several pairs. Easy and super comfortable!

Love the team at Athletic Threads! They helped me with my first ever running shoe consultation and it wasn't as intimidating as I thought! I'm not an athlete but I enjoy the occasional 5K race and love Saturday morning runs in my neighborhood! I came in to see them on an early Sunday afternoon and it wasn't busy which was great for a first time visitor like me. They pulled out several pairs for me to try on and I really appreciated the detail and attention! I left with a fresh new pair of Brooks that I can't wait to run in! I'll definitely be back!

Great service and selection! I came here to find alternative shoes for work and ended up with a lot of knowledge about my feet’s needs. Shopping was very personalized and quick. I made a purchase of some stylish black and white ASICS that were the most comfortable pair I have worn! Highly recommend to invest in functional footwear from here. Thank you again!

Very friendly service, if there's not a lot of people in the store they take a lot of time to talk with you and bring out the best shoes for whatever kind of feet or gait you have. I've never gotten that kind of customized service anywhere else, and I would really recommend coming here if you've just been buying shoes without thinking too much. You learn so much about what kind of feet you have and what kinds of shoes are best for you.

Another shop I wish I didn't have to review. This place has the best customer service and I feel like I'm the only one in the world that matters when I shop here. I actually like trying on shoes here. Kudos to the staff and owner who really know how to make a customer feel welcome every time.

I had a running injury and the fabulous lady in the shop gave me great advice on stretches and exercises to recover. I also had a very thorough running assessment to decide which trainers to buy. Very happy with excellent, friendly service.

I like how the sales person knows her products. She saw how I run, as I ran on the treadmill. She saw how my foot lands and looked at how my current shoe was worn on the sole. She learned I have wide feet. I told her (she asked a lot of important questions like what do I plan to do in the new shoes) I have arthritis in my right knee and can only run on trails or dirt paths. I run 3K's. She had me try on Hoka, which I've never had and I was very pleased. She gave me a second pair of Hoka, but they looked too wide and made my already wide feet look twice as wide. I told her I didn't care for them. I told her I wanted black running shoes. I ended up with black Hoka that weren't the extra wide ones and I love them!

Lisa's running knowledge and customer service are what make Athletic Treads the best athletic shoe store in Willow Glen. When I came in, she greeted me was attending to another customer. She deftly got that customer going on a pair of shoes, then came over and listened to what i was looking for. She carries the brand I wear (Asics) for running. She made a couple recommendations, brought them out, had me run on the treadmill, and assessed how I run (and compensate on one side). Based upon what she saw, she made her recommendation of the 2 shoes she brought out. She said there were other shoes if I preferred, but I was sold. Athletic Treads is the only place you need to go to for your walking/running needs!
