79 Rue Crémazie, Gatineau“I just received my new Sperry deck shoes from Wooki. I ordered a size 7 as I am a size 7 and they fit great. I was very sceptical to order from wooki as I never heard about them but reading some of the reviews I thought give them a try. Very fast delivery. Price was right compared to other places that sell these. Thanks .”

252 Dalhousie St, Ottawa“Though I live in Calgary, this may be my favourite men's clothing store in the world. Great clothing, great location, great customer service and great prices. I went most recently on 1 Nov 2024 and was helped by a sales person named Phrase (he was great!).”
“Great knowledgeable staff. Always something going on in the community, events and coupons/sales. Accurate online to in store inventory. Look elsewhere online, you likely won't find a better deal.”
“Excellent store. Great discounts, knowledgeable staff, and a very convenient self-scanning checkout process (just drop the clothes into a scanner box).Register in a couple of phone taps for an account to have a 356-days returns window ??”

769 Bank St, Ottawa“Honestly the best experience I've ever had purchasing training shoes. The store has a clean, minimalist vibe and everything is well labeled. I could have picked out a pair myself but I wanted to get a professionals opinion. Karen helped me ultimately choose a pair of New Balance v12's which by the way were literally almost $100 off!! I have never experienced such seemless shopping in Ottawa for running accessories. Best athletic shoe store for avid runners for sure!
Thanks again Karen!”
“Went in for ski boots and it was a great experience. This is the first time in my life that I have boots that actually fit my wide feet. They also recommend the perfect ski.”

160 Slater St., Ottawa“My recent visit to Running Room was a really pleasant surprise, especially considering my initial worries as a mid/plus-size person. From the moment I walked in, the staff were warm and welcoming, which was a nice change from some other athletic stores I've been to. What stood out the most was how inclusive the atmosphere was. When I mentioned how much I appreciated the great customer service, especially as someone with a larger body type, they replied, 'Fitness comes in all shapes and sizes.' That really stuck with me and made me feel genuinely welcome.
I also wanted to try out the Hoka Bondi 8, and the staff were super helpful. They not only helped me find the right pair but also took the time to explain the features of the shoe so I could make a good choice. They made ordering the specific colorway I wanted really easy too.
I'm definitely going back to Running Room for all my future athletic needs. Their awesome service and focus on inclusivity have made me a loyal customer. Highly recommended!

“Staff are helpful and don’t hover over you while shopping. Lulu products are worth the price if you are moving around a lot and looking for something comfy and stylish that doesn’t make you sweat like crazy.”
“The difference compared to pricing on Fanatics is insanely good. Living in a remote part of Canada there's not always a lot of buying options but these guys are definitely the best I've come across yet. Thanks again”

11AM - 5PM
380 Industrial Ave, Ottawa“This is a great store run by good and helpful people. However, their hours make it extremely difficult to shop there and it's doubtful I would go back for that reason. I personally would never be able to make it weekdays between 11 and 5 and Thursday (the one evening they are open) they don't do skate sharpening. I would really encourage the owner to consider different hours.”
“Very wholesome shopping experience. Lovely lit ambiance with superb service. I have always been well received on each visit and given good advice. Everything for the sport. I love this place.”

1625 Bank St, Ottawa“It's definitely nice to have a local soccer shop to go to. Even though their prices are the same or higher than online, I'll gladly pay a little more to support a local brick & mortar store, but... what's with the odd return policies? After buying $300+ worth of gear, 1 day later I tried to return $18 unused/unopened socks with the receipt and they wouldn't accept the return. So strange. Make sure you double check the return policy on the items you're buying so you don't get caught like I did.Responding to the owner's reply:The socks were UNOPENED and still in the original packaging. It is literally impossible to wear the socks unless the packaging was opened, which it was not (see pictures). I could understand your response if the packaging had been opened, but this was not the case. The employee serving me also noticed they weren't opened and apologized saying he had no choice but to deny the refund because it's store policy. There are many other stores that accept socks for refunds as long as they are in the original, unopened packaging. Why doesn't Disalvo just adopt a similar policy? Adjust the policy rather than challenge an honest customer's review about it.”

2121 Carling Ave, Ottawa“The most underrated shoe store. This store has an amazing selection for really good prices. I was eyeing a pair of Uggs. At another retailer, they go for over $150. I got them here for $50.”

287A, 50 Rideau St, Ottawa“Really nice store, great layout. The clothes are really nice, but I'm told that the clothing quality has really regressed recently. The fitting rooms have really weird lighting, not sure if they're flattering.
Personally, I'd prefer that employees not approach me every time I walk into the store to ask me if I need anything. I appreciate the sentiment and the overall message, but it makes me feel more anxious than anything (I probably am not alone in this situation).”
“Thanks to Blake! Great service, I work in customer service myself. He looked on the Merrell site to match the same sandals that I have for my husband who has an osteoarthritis problem.. I appreciated your time, your listening.”
“Mozhdeh provided excellent customer service! She was friendly, professional, and made the price match process quick and hassle-free. Highly appreciate her assistance!”
