"Took my daughter in to buy her first pair of running spikes for HS Track. Like all other reviews, we received great service and expertise on the shoes. My concern going in was price since usually you have to pay a bit more for the trade off... but to my surprise the shoes where cheaper(15% discount for students) then the big box store we visited and didn't buy. Support local and go here first."

"Highly recommend! We were given excellent customer service. Found the perfect shoe. Thank you Kirk!"

"I've started to get into fitness again, and challenged myself to run a 5k event. I attempted to practice running, which I haven't done in a long time, around my neighborhood but would get crippling shin splints after only a few minutes. I stopped in here a few days before my 5k and bought a new pair of shoes. The man helping me observed how my feet land when walking/running and suggested shoes according to where I needed the most support. He was very informative about the three pairs I tried and pointed out the differences in each shoe and the benefits of the design. I ended up purchasing the first pair he had me try on, which were the Women's New Balance 860s. I ran my 5k a few days later and was able to maintain a jog the entire time! I did experience shin splints, but not nearly at the level I had before, as this time I was able to push through the discomfort where it would usually be pain. My feet felt like they were hitting the ground correctly and the shoes absorbed so much of the impact they seemed to propel me forward. I didn't expect a new pair of shoes to cure my shin splints, I know that will happen over time, but I was utterly impressed with the difference it made instantly. I am very grateful we have a running store here in Olympia with such knowledgeable and helpful staff!"

"Maia put me in a great shoe, was super patient, so informative and helped a lot with my decision making. She also ended up teaching me a lot in the small frame of time that I was there and we found the perfect shoe for me. 10/10 would recommend"

"I can't thank the staff at South Sound Running enough for their exceptional service! My little brother and I were in need of running shoes, and we were blown away by the personalized attention and expertise we received. The staff was incredibly patient and took the time to understand our individual needs. My brother is starting his first middle school track season after spring break. He has flat feet and has suffered from ankle sprains in the past, and the staff's understanding of his condition was truly remarkable. They took into consideration his foot shape, his history of injuries, and his budget to find him the perfect pair of shoes - the New Balance 860v13. The shoes provided him with the right amount of support and cushioning, and he felt comfortable and secure while running. As for me, I needed shoes that would fit my specific feet type and provide the right amount of support for running, as well as versatility for daily use and lifting, and the staff at South Sound Running was equally attentive to my needs. They recommended the Brooks Ghost 14, which was the perfect fit for me. We had the opportunity to try on multiple pairs of shoes and run around to find the right fit and support for our feet. Overall, the staff's expertise in catering to different feet types and providing personalized service was truly remarkable. I highly recommend South Sound Running to anyone in need of running shoes or any other running gear. Thank you, South Sound Running, for your outstanding service!"
