GEAR Running Store - Minneapolis, Minnesota

Exceeded expectations and I'm very happy. Dave helped me try on shoes from most major brands. I felt like he knew what he was talking about with shoes, and didn't try to sway me one way or another. He was able to discuss stack height, drop and shoe purpose. Also, I'm pretty sure he's run 100s of miles in every single shoe, too, haha. They special ordered a pair in my size that's being shipped to my house and I can't wait to run in them. Look at these beauties!

Also, goodbye to my old shoe brand (that I didnt like), two marathons was two too many, hope to see you never.

Great experience! Emily is great at listening to what you need and the why, what you will use it for, and also helping to select the correct product for your specific needs. That was my experience.
There is a great amount of popular branded shoes, socks, and apparel, I also saw hydration bottles, packs, tabs, lights, rain jackets, hats sunglasses
For a cozy size store, they have it all!
Also, I found that if you're set on a brand that's not on the shelf, they will ablige, my experience was we knew what I needed but didn't have it on the shelf, however the order processing was very smooth and the communication was great when my item arrived they contacted me to let me know.

Awesome place. The owner and staff were extremely helpful and friendly! Got me setup with a nice pair of shoes after spending time getting to know my needs. Great place to buy local! They also were extremely kind to my dog !!

What a great little store! The staff is super helpful, no pressure and extremely knowledgeable. Love being able to give them my business over big box sporting good stores. HIGHLY recommend, whether you're looking for a running shoe or just a walking shoe for around town.

Amazing customer service! Chatted with the two people working, I think the owner and a younger guy and they were extremely helpful in helping me pick out my first pair of running shoes! Will be back for all my needs.

100% great running store- good experience buying running shoes. No gimmicky, salesy vibes. Feels like a (very knowledgeable) friend helping you pick out shoes. Also recommend their custom tees! So soft and cute!

Not only the best shoe buying experience that I have ever had, but probably the best experience in any store that I have ever had. Paul was absolutely fantastic! SO very enthusiastic about what he does and eager to help, not to mention being the nicest person I have ever met. He listened to mine and my girlfriend's concerns about our current shoes, brought us a plethora of options to try, and figured out that I have been wearing shoes that are THREE SIZES too small for my entire adult life. I now own the absolute most comfortable shoes that I have ever put on my feet, and will never trust another store for my footwear needs. Also, although she wasn't the person helping us, Beth was an absolute joy to chat with. This store and their staff deserve every bit of the praise that they get through these reviews. If you want the right shoes and advice, GO HERE. 10 out of 5 stars.
