Came out today to look at sneakers. Second time this year that we have visited this location, because our last visit went very well. Anna C helped us today, getting us into a couple pair of shoes to see which ones fit best. I needed a pair of darker color shoes so that I could get away from my dress shoes during the winter months. Super friendly, professional and helpful in getting us in and out of the store within 30-35 minutes. Always a great time seeing the various options, and making sure that the shoes fit nicely and are suited for immediate use. Thanks Anna C for a productive and quick visit to get us fitted with great shoes for the holiday week coming up. Come and see how great they are here! read more

Buying shoes here is easy, professional, accurate, and competitive pricing. I'll never go back to buying at big-box stores.

They helped watch my gait and compare choices on basis such as cushioning, width, stability, etc. I pronate so I had difficulty finding the right shoes by myself. The pair that was recommended to me turned out to be the most comfortable shoes I've tried. Many thanks read more

I went to the store in Dawsonville, Ga in the street center of publix, in front of the outlets. It is a great store, good variety of selection to choose and fit your needs. Fe Ramirez, manager is knowledgeable and great in help you to find what you are looking for. i will come back read more

I walked in with 10 min to close to BUY shoes and the workers didn't seem like they were interested in selling me a pair or discussing options. I get that employees want to go home at the end of the day. But Sometimes you should go the extra mile to have a customer for life. read more

Big Peach Running - Alpharetta - Shoe Stores Near Me - Alpharetta, Georgia

Always a great place to stop. Very helpful staff; friendly but knowledge. Good brands and variety and great to work with. I'd give them 5 stars but it just continues to drive me crazy that such a large, popular store only has one "cash register". Lines can be significant at times and it's really unnecessary. Still, great place and we hit it often. read more

Remember when this was a people business? It must've been an off day, but I came in easily ready to buy several things. I left without that much because the guy at the counter was far more concerned with whatever he was doing on the computer than developing relationships with customers. I get that a lot of people will probably say "just browsing," but I think it's still important to ask "what brings you in today?" I left with the body glide and salt pills that I guess I came in for, but I could've been talked into more things for my upcoming race. Dang I could've just ordered that off of Amazon and saved time. read more

Nice service and great deals on running shoes. Also it is a nice and neat store. If you enjoy running staff you should visit this store. read more

The earliest date for BiB p/u @ this location. Getting inside of the store was EZ & it wasn't a mad house. Very organized;-) The Atlanta Track Club has got this BiB p/u on lock. They had greeters in front of the store & if Ur missed there's another layer that has their iPad in hand & asks what Ur BiB # is. If U have no idea, they'll help U out. Reason Y I noticed their organization was that when I registered, there were no more W/S shirts so I had to choose M/S. The ladies who were handing out the BiBs & Shirts were so kind to advise me that if my shirt was too big that I can go to another receiving table where they hold all of the shirts that have not been assigned to BiB numbers. So, all in all... anticipated a hectic BiB p/u event but it was nothing close to it being KrZ. read more

Went here to get my daughter fit for sneakers to join her HS track team. Chris was a tremendous help and knew exactly what to look for in he stride and cadence, as she did pronate some. Chris had her try on like 10 different pairs of sneakers to get the fit spot on for her . So glad we went here and truly appreciated Chris' patience and expertise to get it right! Thank you!!! Oh, and we did get 10% off b/c she played HS sports too! read more

Easy Breezy! After trying to purchase running shoes online, only to have to send them back because I did not like they way they fit, I decided to FINALLY stop by Big Peach. I've been running 5ks and 10ks in ATL on and off for over 15 years, so I am very familiar with Big Peach but just never stopped by. I've been running consistently for the last 18 COVID months (repurposed my morning commute time). And I am now very conscious of what I like and dislike about running shoes. When I walked into Big Peach I was greeted immediately and asked what I was looking for...Me: wide toe box, high arch, lots of cushion but not a high sole. I was brought 3 different shoes to try on. I liked 2 of the 3 and opted for Mizunos. In and out in less than 20 minutes which is less time than trying to find and compare shows on-line. You can spend hours in the Big Peach if that's your thing. The track is cool and they have much more than just shoes. But I appreciate that they also accommodate the shopper who wants to be in and out! read more

Who does not love the Big Peach? Although I have only been here a couple of times, the service here was really good. Some of their items are overpriced, but when they are on sale, they are well worth it. The store is very clean. The service here is 3x better than their location in Atlanta.

My wife has been a runner/walker for many years, and I recently decided to start hitting the road with her. Since she needed a new pair of proper running shoes--and I needed my first pair--and because we're new to the area, we needed to find a place that hopefully provided both specialized service AND practiced COVID-19 safety. Big Peach came through on both! I was especially impressed with how willing they were to ensure we found the RIGHT shoes. Even after we found shoes that fit well, looked good, etc., additional pairs were brought out for us to try, just to be sure we were getting the absolute best shoes. Pricewise...well, let's put it like this: You can buy athletic shoes elsewhere for MUCH less. But that said, and as the saying goes, "you get what you pay for." This is not a big-box/mall/discount sneaker shop. It's a boutique for serious runners/walkers, and if you have the means to purchase high-end shoes, you won't be disappointed. read more

I have never gotten an actual pair of running shoes that weren't also meant for style. Walking in this store I realized quickly I wasn't there for the most stylish sneaker, my foot's ego was swiftly kicked out after spending 5 minutes in there. Faye put me in check real quick. As a chiropractor, I know the importance of taking care of my feet while cranking up the odometer on them. They also do a 3D SCAN to determine the best type of support your feet need! High value here. I decided to leave it to the pros! Faye, was absolutely phenomenal, asked all the right questions and helped me to determine exactly what I needed. read more

The hubby and I went in with the intention of buying Hoka running shoes for him. The staff members were very helpful and knowledgeable. I didn't get the staff member's name but he was very very helpful. He had the hubby demonstrate his running style and recommended the best shoe for him. He told us how each shoe was different and the pros/cons of each. The hubby tried on about 4-5 different shoes. He didn't try to upsell us which was refreshing. He spent a good 30 minutes on us. Hubby happily walked out with a pair of Clifton 7s. A great place to shop and we will definitely come back. read more

This is the only place my husband goes for his tennis shoes. We like the way they pick the shoes that fit your needs. I wasn't picky about shoes before but now this place changes my mind. We each got a pair today. read more

Efficient is the best way to describe Big Peach. I've been going here for years and the customer service is always top notch and I always leave with a good pair of running shoes. If you're a runner, this is where you want to go if you're looking for a brick and mortar location. Tips: * They price match online stores if the product is like for like. * They offer 10% discount if you are a member of Atlanta Track Club and are a school teacher. Likely other organizations but I say to inquire. read more

I needed new shoes after foot surgery and was anxious but finding new shoes that were comfortable. Paige greeted me and WOW. She was so helpful and helped me find my new VERY comfortable shoes! She definitely went out of her way to make suggestions and ordered a pair in a color I liked from another store. THANK YOU Paige. read more

This is an update to my review of June 26, 2022. I visited the store today and the problem was resolved to my extreme satisfaction. My family and I are back to being loyal customers of Big Peach in Alpharetta. Thank you!!! read more

As a person who's managed a run specialty store for many years I am really glad I went with my girlfriend here for her to get fitted for good running shoes. They did everything I would've suggested. Performed the right running analysis, suggested the right shoes, not pushy, sold the product with information not scare tactics, and a super casual friendly setting. It's places like these that make you want to keep on supporting your local running stores. Thank you Sean (I think that was his name) and the team at Alpharetta. read more

FANTASTIC service!!! Faye and Heather were so very helpful when I visited the store looking for running shoes and inserts to help with my plantar fasciitis and heel spur. Both were friendly and knowledgeable in helping me find the perfect running shoes, along with flip flops to help with foot pain. I even stocked up on socks and purchased the deep tissue massage roller recommended by Faye. And best of all, I was able to finish my purchase and make it home in time to meet my daughter at the bus stop! Thank you Faye, Heather, & Big Peach Running Co. I'll be back! read more

I love Big Peach Running Company, and I come here for all my running needs. I have purchased several pairs of Hokas for myself and my Dad from this location. Not only do they have a great stock of running shoes at this location, but Wade, the store owner, can answer any question you have about running shoes. He has worked with me every time to get the best type of running shoe that I need. He is so patient and spends a lot of time with whoever he is helping. One time the pair of Hokas I wanted was out of stock in the entire south east and he searched his database to look at the rest of the United States for at least 30 minutes to find a store that had them and could ship to me. Now THAT is customer service! The store also has a track in it that you can run/jog on to see how the shoes actually feel. He also introduced me to Oofos, which are the best recovery flip flop ever. Shop local and go to Big Peach for all your running needs. You will enjoy your experience and leave with a product that will be the perfect fit for you. read more

I had such a positive experience getting fitted for shoes by Bryce today! I was almost 3 sizes bigger in shoes than the ones I had on. No wonder my feet felt cramped in there! Parking was so easy and the store was very visible from the street. Bryce showed me a video of how I walked to show where I needed more support in my shoes. He was very knowledgeable and personable and he wanted to make sure that he was getting me in the perfect shoe. I never pressured to buy more than what I needed and Bryce was definitely an expert with this! I will be back when I need another pair and highly recommend Big Peach Running Alpharetta! Now off to go work out in these!! read more

SUPERB CUSTOMER SERVICE, great selection of shoes and literally anything a runner could ever need. Bryce was extremely helpful. He analyzed my gait, and patiently brought out shoe after shoe for me to try on until I found the perfect one for my foot. In addition, he gave me some awesome pointers to help correct my running form. From now on, I won't be buying my running shoes anywhere else! read more

Finding a good run shop that not only gives great, knowledgable service but also puts the customer first is an absolute must for anyone looking to make endurance running a consistent habit. My wife and I found both at Big Peach Running on two separate occasions. During my first visit to the shop, one of the employees patiently spent at least an hour working with me to find the right shoe to help me to get back in the running game after a long hiatus due to injury. At the end of my visit, I left the store with new shoes in hand and confidence in my ability to get back into running shape. Unfortunately, after putting in many miles in the new shoes, they just were not working out. This happens sometimes with a new pair of running shoes, so I put none of the blame on the store employee who helped. My wife, however, did take the shoes back to the store three months later and they gave us a full refund for the shoes, no questions asked. The willingness to stand by their commitment to excellent customer service despite losing income from a sale will encourage me to keep coming to this store for all my running needs. If you want a similar customer service experience, check out Big Peach. You will certainly not be disappointed! read more

I love Big Peach, because as a serious runner, their staff seems to be composed of only serious runners and they are very experienced at what they do. They are also a locally owned and operated business and it's good to support the locals! For some unknown reason, I've never had a proper shoe and running analysis. But after a couple trips to Road Runners (only for the VIP running shoe trial of 90 days), I just felt frustrated with not finding the right shoe. I decided I needed to invest the time in a proper shoe fit and analysis. Glad I came. I was assisted by Cory, who was excellent. He was very patient with me and knowledgeable. He videoed my stride and I found out I slightly overpronate. Here I always thought I was a neutral runner. So he came out with several different pairs of shoes for me to try based on this fact, and I found a pair that is working great for me thus far. I really appreciate the time and expertise. Their team here really seems to care about finding the right shoe for you, not selling you the most expensive shoe out there. And their return policy is very forgiving. If a shoe isn't working out, they will work with you in exchanging for something else. Corey made notes for me in the computer so I can go to my next favorite pair of shoes if these should fail. No way I could remember everything I tried on and what model, etc. Very happy with my purchase and definitely know where I need to come when I need shoes next time. read more

My foray into running began about 4 years ago when my bestie and I decided to start running with 5ks for no particular reason. After our first 5k, we ventured into Big Peach Running Co where we spent nearly an hour trying out shoes. The end result? We each walked out with a pair of shoes and we started signing up to run races like crazy. The service here is incredible. They take the time to help you pick out the right shoes from using the cameras to watch you run on a treadmill, to them tirelessly bringing out shoes for you to try on and test on the runway.. For me, my running affair began with a pair of Saucony Guide 4s. These lasted me for a while until I realized the traction was gone. Since then, I only come here for shoes. I've switched to Brooks but I'm back to the Saucony. They keep records of the shoes you've bought so you don't have to remember what you specifically bought before. Shoe technology will surprisingly change, so going with the same shoe each year may not be the same. I haven't really experienced the other Big Peach stores but I'm a real fan of this location. read more

This is the best running store in the area, especially for the more advanced runners. They have all of the top of the line running shoes in stock. For those newbies, they have a program where you can test pairs on a treadmill to ensure the right fit. More importantly, their service is great. I recently returned a pair of defective running shoes (sole falling off after 3 weeks) and they made the exchange event a non-issue. I'll be buying here for as long as I live in the area. read more

This is a pretty good shoe store overall. The technology that they use to videotape your feet is quite helpful, and I appreciate the fact that they don't try to sell you on unnecessary orthotics when they do the videotaping, unlike one of their competitors who shall herein remain nameless. In addition to shoes, they have a decent selection of clothing. I would recommend the clearance rack, as quality athletic clothing can be a bit pricey. There are a few ways in which I think this particular location could improve. There are some other BPRC locations that I prefer, but they'd be well out of the way for people who live near Windward. First, the shoe wall could be organized better. They have brand logos at the top of the wall that appear at first glance to show what's underneath, but when you look at the shoes, they're not organized by brand, and the logo placement appears meaningless. The way in which they're organized isn't clear. BPRC could probably take a tip from Phidippides and organize by type of shoe (neutral, support, stability, etc.) and have the categories clearly labeled. This would make for a much more user-friendly browsing experience. Second, the shoe selection is a little on the small side. Maybe I'm just used to bigger shoe stores, or maybe the lack of clear organization threw me off a bit. Third, the few employees I heard there didn't appear to understand that a little pronation is not necessarily a bad thing. They seemed to want to overcorrect. I was there with my girlfriend to get her some running shoes, because she's just starting to run. She has very mild pronation, and they went immediately to stability models, rather than exploring the various options between neutral and support. read more

A great running store. Knowledgable staff of runners. They do great work in the community organizing races and group runs.

This is my only stop when I am buying new running shoes. Located off of exit 11 on 400 it is the perfect combination of science, selection & staff. First with the science, when you run you do one of three things with your feet, at Big Peach the have you hop on a treadmill and film your feet to see what you do and how you land ( they can also watch you run if you prefer). Then they have you try shoes that match how you run. This ensures maximum comfort and helps reduce injury. They have an incredible selection of shoes, from different styles to different brands. They are patient, courteous and very knowledgeable. If I am not mistaken they are all serious runners and their passion shines through when they assist you. Every time I am in I always bring a list of questions on everything from shoes, supplements, accessories and they always take their time and our happy to answer them. Right when you walk in they make sure someone is there to assist you. They have an e-mail list you can join that lets you know when they are hosting runs, some races that are coming up and links to articles to enhance your running experience. To Recap The Good: Everything. They know what they are doing and they do it with a smile. The Bad: I honestly can't think of anything. The Band This Store Most Resembles: The Postal Service. They always delvier and reach "Such Great Heights". read more

Best customer service for any type of business. They spend the time to match what you want. Our family has had different footwear needs and they find the right shoe. Lastly the price difference than the chain store may be 20% or less but worth every penny. read more

Christina if you are looking at this.. You are awesome! I was kinda nervous about picking up new gym/ running shoes addressing my pronation . Wanted someone to understand what I needed. I have been clinging to my old ones because New Balance store dont carry the same series anymore .. was afraid to try anything else and surprise surprise I walked out with not only the same series but also a Brooks series which seems as comfy as the NB for me .Thanks for making it a wonderful shopping experience. I am ready for 2019!‍ read more

Couldn't be a more happier customer of this place. As a first time buyer I was amazed these guys knew what they are talking about, blew me off my feet. The sales guy not only handled me but 3 other people all in a timely manner. I was shocked, needless to say I walked out of here with some sweet shoes on my feet at a great price. read more

I am new to this store and attended the Wednesday running clinic. Andy taught the session and was very helpful. I am newer to running for perspective. Highly recommend the clinic and appreciated his teaching tips and knowledge. I am excited about using the tips to improve my running. Great selection of shoes and other items. Very knowledgeable, helpful, and friendly staff. There was a group going for a run and seems like a wonderful community. read more

Had a really great experience here. Bryce was absolutely wonderful to work with. He spent over an hour with me to find the right running shoe and even gave me some running tips when he noticed I put too much pressure on my heels while running. I will definitely be a return customer and recommend them to others. Thanks, Bryce! :) read more

I have never had a better shoe shopping experience than I had today with Bryce at Big Peach Running Company! He took his time and asked all the right questions (even ones that I had never heard before). He considered all the complexities of my shoe needs (plantar fasciitis, recent sprained ankle, daily walking, badminton, inserts) and brought out lots of shoes (not just 2 or 3 which has been my previous experience). I will never go anywhere else for athletic shoes ... thank you Bryce for the best customer service I have seen in a very long time! read more

Excellent staff who spent a great deal of time on our middle school cross country runner. This is his first organized running club and Big Peach was dialed in on giving just what he needed; not too much, but didn't try and shortcut for costs. read more

I can't say enough about Bryce and the crew at Big Peach Running. I was on the verge of heading to physical therapy ($1000) for knee pain on the inside of R knee. I had purchased a pair of shoes a month earlier at Big Peach and Bryce dug right in. Diagnosed me w over pronation that wasn't there when I bought my last pair a year ago and spent some time w me on mechanics. I was over striding and "putting on the brakes" w every stride. Swinging arms way too much and causing straight leg with a heel strike. He gave me some instruction and even went ahead and credited me toward my new pair without my old pair with me. He told me to just bring them in when I attend their free running mechanics class next Wednesday. Who does that?! Free exchanges, expert advice, great gear and one stop shopping for all running gear and accessories. read more
