Movin' Shoes

I was helped by a friendly and knowledgeable employee that gave good recommendations and responded to my feedback to find me shoes that fit well with the right amount of cushion. I definitely recommend coming here if you’re not super familiar with running shoes but still want to find a quality running shoe with a good fit.

Very friendly and helpful staff. Listend to my wants, brought me appropriate shoes, and I'm happy with what I bought

It’s more than a shoe store, it is a community with deep roots.
Once you walk into the store, you’ll be promptly greeted and taken care of. All staff are knowledgeable, kind and ready to make sure you get exactly what you need. If you are unsure of your shoe preference, they will watch you walk and can get an idea of what will suit you best. They’re all experienced runners as well and fun to share running stories with.

Movin’ Shoes first opened on State Street in 1973 and has been the foundation of the Madison running scene since. There are group runs five days a week that leave from the store. They own and operate In Focus Timing that you will see at many local runs. You can bring in your old running shoes for them to recycle. The return policy at the store is incredibly generous and guarantees that you will be satisfied with your purchase.

Whether it’s your first, fifth or fiftieth pair of running shoes, you’ve gotta go to Movin’ Shoes.

The best thing I like about this place is their sustainability mission. They recycle/upcycle used shoes to reduce the impact of plastic shoe materials to the environment. Not many places in Madison have this service.
The people work there are very friendly and helpful. We got shoes we like with a discount👍

Staff is so helpful here. Way better than any other shoe store I've been to, they have an in depth knowledge of all of the types of shoes to fit what you are looking for. It was valuable for me to spend time with the staff who pulled out 5+ shoes for me to try rather than trying on shoes that I randomly pull from the shelf. Highly recommend over any chain shoe stores.

This store is amazing, all the staff are very helpful and knowledgeable, and helped me pick a great new pair of running shoes. additionally, the running clubs they have help foster a welcoming running community for new and veteran runners. and the store itself is very well maintained and has a great vibe to it

Great Selection of Shoes and a very friendly and helpful staff. Group runs from the store every week always end up being a good time!

Great place to get outfitted for shoes. I say outfitted because the staff use the products they sell and take the time to understand how you will use your shoes with a selection large enough to try out several pairs on their treadmill so you can make an educated and practical decision on what may work best for you. Way better than the risk of buying online and returning shoes that don't work out.

It is not a chain. The owner is one of those gems of the local community that coaches kids and adults and is engaged with all sorts of running programs for the entire area. The staff are all runners, the store is clean and inviting. Buying your shoes on the internet will never impact your local community in the dozens of ways shopping here will. Plus the service is great. They have an in store treadmill to test out the shoes.

Absolutely A+ as specialty running stores go. This place manages to blend the 1970s charm of an original running store with a modern approach to the gear that today's Runners need. The place is well staffed with runners on both local high school teams and Runners who compete for the Badgers. They know their way around running shoes and they have Gear For All Seasons to help compliment you're running. Highly recommended

Join the Movin Shoes running group. Great group of people.

Seriously, come run with us

We were lucky to find this awesome place by my daughter's school - their track team coaches invited the athletes to Movin' shoes to get perfect shoe recommendations for the season. My daughter got to choose training shoes and spikes from over half a dozen pairs by super friendly and knowledgeable clerk. They even have treadmill and a short piece of "track" where you can test shoes. Our experience was just amazing. My kid loves both pairs and we will definitely come back to Movin' shoes to get more when we need new pairs!

I’ve been here many times and always find it to be a special place with very helpful and fun staff!

Great staff and fantastic prices. Come here to get fit for whatever you do with your feet like walking, running or just jumping around!!

I had such a good experience here. Someone asked me if I wanted help, and brought out a half dozen shoes to try on and compare to make sure I got the right fit. I walked out with some cool looking blue new balances. I'll most likely be back here!

Great shoes with superior customer service. My fiance and I used to buy our shoes online or shop at other places in the area. We've had such great experiences here multiple times, I don't think we'll go anywhere else. Thanks Movin Shoes!

My first return visit in quite some time and it didn't disappoint. Staff was super helpful and attentive in finding the right shoe for me. No pressure and didn't feel rushed at all. I will definitely be getting all of my running shoes from here going forward. Price was very competitive and reasonable. Plus it's nice to support a locally owned store! Keep up the great work guys!

Went in today to get my first ever pair of running shoes that aren’t the 40$ Walmart/target brand. Came in knowing absolutely nothing besides my shoe size and the staff was extremely helpful finding a shoe for my feet type specifically. Super nice and an overall great experience.

Great place. Best service of any shoe store I've ever been to. Staff helped me pick out a good pair of running shoes for me, fast. If you need new everyday walking or running shoes, buy local and just go here, period.

Very knowledgeable and helpful. Excellent prices. Awsome return policy. This is the place to buy running shoes.

It was a great experience! They were knowledge and really took the time to make sure I got the right shoe for me
