Charles River Running is a welcoming space for all runners, walkers, and fitness enthusiasts. It is a local business worth supporting where customers can try products before buying, which is especially important for shoes. The staff provides great, knowledgeable service and strives to make finding a proper fitting shoe a pleasant and informative experience. They analyze a customer's walk and use feedback to help find the perfect pair with the best feel. The staff has fitted over 20,000 pairs of shoes, aiming for many happy miles. Customers, including those referred by local physical therapists, report good experiences and love the sneakers they purchase. The store also hosts Thursday evening run/walks. While prices might not be as cheap as online, the excellent service and quality make it the best place for running shoes and working shoes.
Thanks to the help I got in the store, my new walking/pickleball shoes are the best fitting shoes I've ever owned. They're a bit more expensive than what I've been buying but oh so worth it.

Great service. Love the running sneakers I purchased.
New update. A year later I purchased my second pair of running sneakers from them this past weekend. Ran an 8:41 mile at Orange Theory today! Must have been the new sneakers.
