Root Runners | Run Specialty Shop 270 Sparta Avenue, Sparta Township, NJ 07871

"I came here looking for a new pair of work sneakers and did not leave disapointed! Matt scanned my feet and then walked me through a ton of different options for what I was looking for and what my feet needed. He was so knowledgeable, detail-oriented, and really took the time to go over everything with me. There was no pressure, no rush, and when I made a decision he was able to order the shoes for me! I will definitely be returning and highly recommend!"

"This business has it ALL! Great friendly and customer service oriented staff that understand serious foot issues and have the knowledge of both their stock and how each item will assist with different customer needs. I was sent to this establishment by my doctor because of the arthritis and bone spurs in both my feet is so bad I couldn't walk without a cane safely. When I walked out of their store with my new sneakers on I was 80% improved and after wearing them exclusively for several days I am nearly pain free it is a miracle! I have even ordered a second pair! Worth every dime!"

"The foot scan technology is really cool and helpful in picking the right shoes. The staff is super knowledgeable, friendly and genuinely helpful in finding the right shoes. To top it off, I was referred by a friend to come here for shoes and he said the owner was one of the nicest people he knew. I was only in the store for 30 mins, but it was long enough to confirm this. I was shopping solo with my two little boys and he came out of the back with crayons and paper and sat and drew with them for at least 10 minutes. I can’t recommend this place enough! Will definitely be a repeat customer."

"My oldest son is a junior on the Delaware Valley varsity cross-country team. On Labor Day, we visited a Nike outlet and a running store with hopes of getting a pair of new running spikes, to no avail, either because their supply was inadequate or the shop was simply closed. My son entered a "running stores near me" search on Google and Root Runners showed up, prompting us to visit their shop, which is roughly 40 minutes from the Milford, PA area. While at the shop, my son stepped on an electronic display that immediately provided statistics on his weight distribution and displacement, so as to provide him the best fit and best quality shoe. Those statistics were emailed to us, free of charge. Furthermore, since my son was a student-athlete, he was given a 10% discount, and as a New Jersey retailer, Root Runners did not charge sales tax for clothing and shoe sales. My son left a happy customer with a brand-new pair of Hoka spikes for use this season. Because of this experience, Root Runners receives my highest recommendation. Their customer service was second to none. We will be back for every cross country and track season, for certain!"

"Best experience buying a pair of sneakers hands down! Matt takes his time and consults with you and brings out a few different options. He gauges how your foot reacts to make his recommendation. You even get a copy of your feet scan! I typically wear minimalist shoes but needed to change it up for more support. Highly recommend for anyone looking to find a better fit for their feet!"
