The Sporty Runner

So thankful I found this place. Due to health I've been having extreme feet problems. After a visit to the foot Dr., it was recommended I seek out a good quality shoe.
Linda Starr, Owner, was just the person I needed.
She was so professional and took the time to listen to my 'struggling' and spent quality time with me.
I never felt pressure from her, it was a continuous concern of my needs and long-range comfort of my feet.
Thank you so much for my purchase today and I can't wait to have better feet.
I hope Sadie wasn't too sad that I left.
(I chose the gray one).

I love the sporty runner! I started working out again and was really struggling with pain in my feet, ankles, and knees. It was recommended that I get better shoes. I went to every shoe store in Conway, and nobody knew anything about feet or about shoes. All I would hear is, "This is a pretty color," or "Ladies like this kind." Thank God for the wonderful folks at the sporty runner who watched me walk, looked at my feet, asked about my issues, and recommended a good shoe. The employee knew all the features of each shoe and could speak intelligently about which features were or were not likely to help. There is no other store like this in Conway! I wholeheartedly recommended them to anyone. I had an amazing experience, and I am extremely grateful to have found them!

They made this the EASIEST shopping experience I’ve ever had. I have felt that I have never had a well fitting shoe. They let me try on a wide variety of brands until I selected the shoe that helped my pronation. Definitely will be giving them my business from now on!

Excellent store. The guy was exceptional at helping try on shoes. He took his time with both my wife and I. He ensured we both got the best shoes for our walk gait and fit.

Linda and her staff were super friendly and helpful! I came in needed something to help my ankle and they put me in a super comfy shoe that corrected my step and it was cute! They went above and beyond to make sure it was the right fit for me! Love seeing them when I’m in town! ❤

Great customer service. I stopped by this store after hearing the owner speak during the Women Run Arkansas Clinic in Harrison, AR. I was star struck by a super cool looking shoe in the store. The sales lady showed me some options that fit my foot and running style better. She could have easily sold me the shoe that originally caught my eye, which was $50 more. She was clearly dedicated to getting the best shoe for the customer. Very nice store, good prices, good experience.

The only shoe store I frequent now, with a large variety of comfortable running shoes as well as a wide selection of accessories, including laces and socks.

I’m sooo thrilled I found this wonderful store!!! Their selection is outstanding and their knowledge is top notch! Prices are excellent for great quality! They are so helpful and in thrilled with my purchase for my runner! Definitely a must shop here !!!!’

They're always helpful when I'm needing an insole or running shoe. They take the time to make sure it's a good fit and watch as I walk in it. Very thankful for a great local place like this.

Great place to go if you need new running shoes. Great service really nice easy going.. They fit you to your running shoes!

Husband and I were personally fit for the shoes we needed. We are both very pleased. We will be back for our next pair of shoes.

I heard of this store through word of mouth. I went to other local businesses to find a shoe specific to my needs but had no luck. I was in and out of The Sporty Runner in 10 minutes with the perfect shoe for me. What stood out the most wasn’t necessarily the selection, but it was how attentive the employees were. Also, I expected to pay high dollar at a store like this. However, they are surprisingly inexpensive.

I’ve shopped here for years and will continue to do so. Their professionalism, knowledge and helpfulness are the best! I drive 45 min and it’s always worth the extra effort!!

I recently went to The Sporty Runner for the first time with my wife after she ran a 5K. Joy was very helpful. She took note of my type of foot, running style, wear patterns on my previous shoes, then brought out at least seven shoes for me to try. I ended up with Brooks. I've run at least ten times in them so far with some previous during and after running pain above my heel in my left foot now completely eliminated. The discount section had some great stuff as well, not just a bunch of junk. Great experience end to end.

Great products, great atmosphere, and great people! I went in with a shoe problem and they fixed it at no cost. The staff were very kind and knowledgeable! 10/10 would recommend to any runner

Staff worked with me to find a great shoe. I'm flat footed so a good all day standing and walking shoe is very important. Gave me a handful of options and talked out the benefits of each. Would recommend.

I bought a pair of shoes that I ran with for a few weeks. I had over 30 miles wearing them. My knees were bothering me, so I went back to an older pair of Nikes. My knee issues went away. I carried the shoes back to them and ended up buying a cheaper pair from them that they felt would work better. They refunded the difference even though I'd been running in the first pair for weeks. Very friendly and helpful.

Such a great local place to get yourself outfitted for all your running needs. Linda, the owner, is very knowledgeable and helpful. They have a great selection of shoes, apparel, accessories and more. Run on over and pay them a visit!

Very easy to make a well informed decision with the super knowledgeable and helpful staff. Great selection! Great prices! Will shop here again. And the greeting dog is adorable

The staff here is very helpful. I had a good experience and did not hesitate to purchase my first pair of running shoes here after trying out several that were suggested.
