Often Running

While looking for new sneakers and after having a very disappointing experience at a local big sports store, I stopped into Often Running to check on the selection. Marcus, their shoe guy, was *incredibly* helpful and knowledgeable about shoes and their mechanics and helped me find two new pairs (for slightly different purposes) that I am very happy with a week later. They have training, running, walking, and biking shoes and some other shoes like slides. Prices are comparable to other outlets, but the service is exceptional.

This was my first time at Often Running. I felt the gentleman that helped me was knowledgeable about the footwear, was friendly, and very helpful. I'll be returning.

I had an absolutely fantastic experience! I got my first pair of running shoes from them years ago and enjoyed them and the service so much I returned for my replacement pair. They are the two best pairs of shoes I have ever owned. They are super comfortable and supportive shoes and the store has fantastic staff! The associate sat with us for 30 to 45 minutes recommending shoes, I never felt pressured, he provided wonderful conversation, and helped me land on yet another stellar pair! I wouldn't shop for my running shoes anywhere else!

I have been getting my shoes from here for years and the staff is always so knowledgeable and helpful. Until moving out of Bloomington, I thought that was the standard for these stores, but no other shop I have gone to has even come close to being as great as these guys. I now make the trip back every time I need new shoes.
I was suffering an Achilles injury and the staff assessed my stride, suggested the best shoe model, and even knew which cushioned soles would help best. Thanks to their help, after a month and a half of being unable to run, I'm back to running normal distances after just a week in the shoes they suggested. I doubt I'll ever shop for running shoes anywhere else!

As a newer runner experiencing mysterious ankle pain, a friend of mine recommended getting fitted for actual running shoes instead of running in my two year old hiking shoes I’d been wearing for the last two months.

I went to Often Running unsure of what I was even looking for but hoping someone would be able to help explain my ankle issues and possibly point me in the direction of some better shoes.

Noah was extremely helpful and explained the issue with the current shoes I was wearing, the possible cause of my ankle pain, and assisted with trying on several pairs of running shoes. As a new runner, I knew absolutely nothing about the different types of shoes or padding involved. Noah was very helpful and knowledgeable in explaining everything and took his time to make sure I found the right pair of shoes for me. The shoes I ended up with have made a huge difference!

I would highly recommend Often Running for shoes and running gear. Thanks Noah!

Marcus was fantastic! He was helping three different groups and did so with ease. All of us felt listened to and cared for. Fantastic service, very knowledgeable and very kind!

We are once again grateful for the knowledge and experience of Often Running. I wouldn't take my XC runner anywhere else! I know we will leave with a shoe that fits him and what he needs and that it will be at a competitive if not an often better price!

I'm so hppha with my experience! Mitchell was super helpful in finding the right shoe for me. Super friendly and way better than what I was expecting. I definitely recommend Often Running if you want friendly, helpful staff and a range of athletic shoes!

I have been buying my running shoes at Often Running since I started running about 4 years ago. The staff there is very knowledgable when it comes to recommending a shoe for your needs but they will also listen to what you are going to be using the shoes for. They have a knack for knowing what shoes I am going to like both in terms of function but also style. So far they've never steered me wrong. See you next time I need shoes!

I have gotten every pair of running shoes I have ever had from here. They have a really great staff, and they really know what they are talking about. I have only had to return one pair of shoes, as they did not have enough support, and I was able to get a replacement that day.

If you are buying your running shoes online, you're missing out on great service and personalized attention. Definitely worth "buying local"! They do a great job. Very knowledgeable and helpful. And quick!

Wow, awesome place. As others said, if you are buying online, you are missing knowledgeable advice. Places like this are a gold mine and worth spending a little extra for. I drove an hour to get the in person advice on what type of shoe for my type of running. Walked in and was immediately greeted by the friendly staff. Grant helped me out today. Top notch!

Mitch is the one to see if you need shoes. He is so helpful and patient. He knows the shoes and he knows his customers. They don’t have a lot of shoes in my size, though.

Awesome shop! So knowledgeable and friendly. Mitch was able to help my handicapped daughter, who can’t always explain what’s going on, find comfortable correctly sized running shoes. Highly recommend.

The staff was amazing ..i went for track spikes in an unusually small size and they had them in stock and 45.00 cheaper than Amazon who wanted 80.00. The salesman took the time to sgow me how to use the spikes..good business..would highly recommend

I highly recommend Often Running. Its team is experienced, knowledgeable, and friendly, and each member is committed to properly fitting your feet to find the right shoe for your budget.

They were so helpful with finding shoes for my brother. We tried multiple styles and types. It was a great experience!

Great running store! They're great at fitting any running style with the correct shoe. Lots of options and accessories.

Brianna was so helpful when I needed new running shoes. I'll definitely be coming back for my next pair...and maybe her number ;)
