Staff were amazing, took their time with me and my wife. Got me fitted for my first pair of running shoes which made the Broad St Run so much more enjoyable.

Incredible experience!! Can’t recommend enough. I’m not a runner, had no idea what I was looking for and knew nothing about sneakers but needed supportive shoes for nursing school. You would never find expertise the way you do here at a large chain store!! The woman who helped us literally knew everything and it was such an easy process. I also happened to walk in during a midday rush and she was able to manage 3-4 people all at once without skipping a beat which I know must have been a challenge! Shop local it’s worth it!

Had the best experience at Philadelphia Runner a few weeks ago! Was training for the broad street run and once my runs got longer, I noticed pain in my lower back and calves as soon as I was done running that lasted a few days. Went to Philadelphia Runner and got fitted for shoes (wish I remember the name of who helped me, as she was SO helpful and knowledgeable!), and was told I was wearing a full size smaller than what I should be & recommended a new insole as she noticed my arches were high. I was honestly a bit skeptical because I’ve worn this shoe size for soo long and never had any issues until my long runs, but followed her advice on everything and the running world has changed for me! No more pain in my back & calves, and shoes are the perfect fit! Just finished broad street and feel like a million bucks, which I know would not have been the case if I didn’t go to Philadelphia Runner beforehand!Will definitely be getting all of my running sneakers here from now on(:

This is the absolute best place to purchase your running gear. The manager here and the entire staff is so helpful, and they always make you feel like a part of the community. Shout out to Jessica for going above and beyond and helping me with something. Thanks for being such a bright place to shop in Manayunk!

The easy, friendly atmosphere of Philadelphia Runner I have found to be impressively paired with expertise and genuine care for me as a customer. Jess and Riley listened attentively to my needs and intents, watched with seasoned eyes, and got creative with their inventory until we together landed on the perfect shoes. It was so clear that selling was far less their aim; making sure my feet would be well-fitted and my whole body would benefit was always forefront. Their generous exchange policy is further evidence of these priorities. I highly and happily recommend them!

I always love the shoes I get from Philadelphia Runner and this last visit was no exception. I am not really even a runner- just a lady who wants to have the right shoes for my feet! Highly recommend!

Kind, honest, knowledgeable, and not pushy. You get what you pay for. PR is worth it.

Top notch. This place is a fantastic resource for running, walking, trail blazing, and footwear gear. Whoever does their training needs a raise because the staff is so great. Friendly, knowledgeable, welcoming, and approachable. The store itself is small so if it’s busy you may have to wait until someone can help you, but it will be worth it to have a tailored experience. You’ll leave the store with more knowledge than you had walking in and your feet will be better for it. Thank you!

Philadelphia Runner is awesome. I bought a pair at the Center City location, wore them for a run, and realized I should have gotten a half size bigger. I was able to exchange them at the Manayunk location without any issue.
