I can't recommend Threads and Treads enough. I started running again in my late 30s and had tried ordering shoes online. After a few fails, I went in person and the staff were so helpful. They looked at my feet and the arches, the width, my stance, how I walk... and helped direct me to a shoe that would support all these areas. Highly recommend supporting this business so we can keep stores alive that really provide expertise and guidance we will never get through big box stores. One note: keep the box! you can't return unless you have the box :)

Great selection. Ons and vuori.... enough said. But then the staff is super knowledgeable. If there were 6 stars I would give it to them.

Super friendly staff and extremely knowledgeable about running shoes. A good fit is so important if you are logging miles - do yourself a favor and go here rather than ordering online. Also if you are a triathlete, they have a good selection of goggles and suits. They have been in business for about 40 years for a reason :)

This is a great shop. I like the brands they offer and I like the expert advice you get when selecting running shoes. They will not let you buy the wrong shoes!

We had a great experience finding running shoes here. They were so attentive and knowledgeable, and took time to help us find the right fit. A good reminder of how much better it is to shop local/small business -- you get expertise you wouldn't find online

The name of the store is fitting because the patience of, who I believe is the owner, is hanging by a thread. I understand that he was in the middle of speaking with a customer, but when my mother sincerely informed him that the line was getting long and people were waiting to pay (cashier wasn't at the desk), he raised his voice and lifted his hand to almost shoo her away. Being the only running store in the neighborhood, they'll end up doing just fine without our business but our first impression was enough to never return. Unfortunate because I have multiple races coming up this year including the NYC Marathon, so we will gladly go elsewhere like JackRabbit. If he's that impatient with customers he's never seen before, can only imagine how he is when people aren't watching.

Incredible small bussiness that truly shows the American Dream is alive and well. Mike the owner is extremely knowledgeable when it comes to feet and getting the right shoes for you and your running. Herbie is the best and can find the perfect clothes for any occasion. Ben is a fantastic salesman

What a store! Really well run. (pun intended??). Love the welcoming feel you get as soon as you walk through the front or back door — whichever you prefer. I got a pair of Hoka Arahi's and my back and leg pain went away within days (I work at a running store so I am on my feet all day). Fritz was outstanding. ??. So was Herbie. ??. Overall great experience, I will be back tomorrow!

Super friendly and helpful service! Expect to pay sticker price for shoes but worth it for the service (and they also threw in a free pair of socks, which have quickly become my favorite for workouts)

Threads and Treads is hands down the most knowledgeable store to find the best sneaker for you. The employees are incredibly helpful, kind, patient, and understanding. The first store in the area that feels more interested in me picking the right shoe, than them gaining a sale.

Threads & Treads is a great example of how bricks and mortar retail can win. Specialization and great customer service! Thank you Herbie and team for the service with a smile. I have been a customer for years and will continue to use TNT for my running, swimming and workout gear.

I have a torn meniscus and other knee issues that I have been trying to manage without surgery (with a Dr. involved). It was working until I started walking to work from the train - after a couple of weeks of that the knee pain was back.I went into Threads and Treads and they listened carefully to my issue, took a close look at how I was walking and standing and took measurements.They made a couple of shoe suggestions and I made that walk to work today with literally no pain. You just can’t get that level of knowledge and that level of care everywhere and I can’t say enough good things about them.And on top of all of that everyone in the store was super friendly - overall it could not have been a better experience.
