All the shoes I took with me to Charlotte running co, which may be excessive but I'm desperate, and Sarah found the perfect pair.
Jamie S.

I went to the Charlotte Running co today after 3 failed attempts at online ordering on clouds and being so defeated as a night shift worker who works between 3-6 12 hour shifts in a row, who had to work 3 more nights in a row (after 2 already) that I stayed awake to go there. I had just gotten my new on clouds in the mail this morning and they were a replacement pair for a size that was too big. When I was trying on the replacement smaller size. I noticed that where the ankle hit was incredibly uncomfortable and just not for me. But I figured because on cloud told me to size up that if I sized down the next pair of the same cloud monsters would fit better which is what I did per their recommendations. Unfortunately , to my surprise, they did not fit better. They felt the exact same way in my knee and my ankle and I felt like I could not perform my job duties in those shoes. So after going through now four pairs of on clouds, I decided it was time to go see the professionals. Sarah was incredibly informative, thorough, compassionate, kind, and patient. I have ADHD and I'm a lot to handle, but she managed to find a pair that would work for me. She did not get upset that I wasn't buying today because I had to figure out what I was gonna do with my old on clouds, but was very considerate about the fact that I am living paycheck to paycheck and had to figure out what to do with the old on clouds that I had never worn because they were a warranty pair and that I would have to come back to purchase the hokas that she found for me. Because I've spent so much money on these on clouds thinking they'd be best for me in the healthcare industry. Money is not available right now for new shoes, mainly because I just got a new pair that I need to send back and she had no problem with that. So this will definitely be a place that I will come back to because she treated me with the utmost respect, was involved, asked the right questions, had the perfect attention to detail in fit, what I was looking for, what I use the shoes for, and how I need them to fit and feel that my days of blindly ordering offline are over with. Most people in any sales role would get frustrated after 10 mins of an interaction without purchase but she remained focused on the goal I had in the end and as soon as I get the refund for these on clouds I bought from on, I am coming back and buying the hoka bondi 9's because they felt perfect and I haven't had a great shoe in a long dang time.

Armani was so helpful and very knowledgeable. I'm a new runner and was able to find a pair of shoes that is helping with ankle pain. I definitely suggest going here if you're in the charlotte area. Brought my boyfriend and he had a great experience too. Customer service is a 10/10. They also have a good selection of shoes, clothing, running chews/food, etc.

I won a raffle for a free pair of shoes! I've said I wanted to get back into running and new shoes are always a motivator. The staff was very friendly. They have a machine where they do a gait analysis, which you can get the results emailed to you. They brought out several shoe options to ensure I chose the correct one. They took their time, they were vested, and I could tell they really enjoy what they do. Also if you check in you get a free pair of socks (up to $10) with purchase! But not sure how long this will last.

Not to be confused with the Creepycentre, which is only open on Halloween…read more It's pretty Epic at the Epic-centre. I love coming here, and do so every single time I'm in Charlotte on a weekend night, which is often lately. Very appropriately named because this really is the epicenter of Charlotte. It's lively and fun and modern and futuristic and pretty amazing. The whole multi-level palace is filled with hot people and scandalously dressed people, especially on warm nights. I made some nice friends around here (of both genders, for a change). It is the heartbeat of downtown Charlotte and a very non-traditional party area. Sort of like a party area of the future. If a mall had an older, drinking crowd and was outdoors and full of clubwear then this would be it. For this reason we love walking around here, even though parking is extremely difficult here on Friday and Saturday nights, so be careful. We've actually parked illegally and gotten away with it on several occasions, but I wouldn't recommend that to others. Lots of cops around here so don't do anything stupid. The design means that if somebody crazy decided to commit suicide, or if there was a fist fight, then it would be very easy from the higher levels to plunge down a long, long way, and there's a lot of people wandering in the courtyard below, so that worries me a tiny bit, and what about the very very drunk people leaning against the railings with a 100 foot drop down onto concrete asphalt right below them. It does worry me slightly but it's still an absolutely wonderful place.

There's a few places to eat here and a cigar lounge that looks cool. Other than that..... don't…read moreplan your day around this place. It's dirty, half empty, and I'm surprised the tenants there make any money. This review IS NOT a reflection of the individual businesses. If you see a restaurant in this area that looks good to you, please try it. Just don't plan on spending time at the EpiCentre itself.

Where do I begin. No one speaks when you enter. Unless your skin tone is white. I went to look at…read morejewelry and a lady who works there was peeping at me over the jewelry rack. The lady next to me who was putting socks away didn't speak. Just looking at every item that I touched. I can guarantee you I make more money than them in one day. So stealing is not an option for me. Outside of that. The stuff is cheesy, very trendy. No originality. Seen it on a million ig pages

I have mixed emotions about this place. I walk past it EVERY day on the way to work and I eyeball…read morethe items in the windows. If it's cute...I make a mental note....if I gasp...I'll walk in and usually will not purchase because they won't have my size. grr. I have to get a dress in a size large in everything so it won't look like a micro mini on my long legs. And Larges tend to fly off the shelves. Lets face it....I'm not 20 anymore and I shouldn't be in a micro anything. I'm all woman..hear me roar. I think this location is a little bit "hipper" than the other location that is in the South Park area next to WS. That location has some of the same pieces but I've been in there and the items would def appeal to the older crowd (40's) and then made mid 20s. Today..... Uptown location made me proud. I had my eye on a Chevron Black and White LONG maxi skirt that was at another boutique in dilworth. I called them and they sold out in about a week. *tears* of sadness. Oh WAIT...I thought to myself...I think Ivy & Leo had the same skirt....I'll check on Monday. Walked in today with a coworker and I couldn't find it on the rack. *tears of sadness* I browse the sale rack as I morn in silence. My coworker said "is this it". A light from heaven shown down with all it's glory as she held up my beloved chevron black and white maxi skirt. "YES" and I snatched it. Thank the good Lord it was a large. I would have probably bought it anyway if it were a small and squeezed my thick'um thighs in it. (Don't judge...you know you've done that before). Here's where I get irritated. I'm happy and I asked the sales girl to hold it for me as I need to go back and get my wallet. I could have sworn she rolled her eyes in her head and I politely said that I would be back...no need to worry. She just grabbed it and said "Name?" wow....someone's got the Monday blues. So I went back and the OTHER nicer girl helped me. Anyway..that's my story. Check it out. It's a trendy little place and dangerous for me as it's on my way to work....blah. I have a shopping problem.

Tucked behind an unassuming entrance on Tryon Street, this historic arcade transports you back to another era. Built in 1914 and listed on the National Register of Historic Places, the beautifully restored passageway connects Uptown's busy streets to a collection of locally owned restaurants, bars, and gathering spaces that feel both historic and modern. I love that the space encourages wandering. Take your time. Explore the storefronts. Grab a coffee, a cocktail, or a bite to eat. The skylit arcade, brick walkways, and European-inspired atmosphere make it feel unlike anywhere else in Charlotte. The real star here is the experience. You can stroll from Tryon Street through the arcade and emerge into Brevard Court, a lively courtyard filled with outdoor dining, people watching, and some of Uptown's most beloved local businesses. It feels intimate, walkable, and full of character. A word of advice: parking can be challenging. This is not a destination I'd recommend driving to unless you already have a plan. The best way to experience The Alley is on foot while exploring Uptown. Park in a nearby garage, take the light rail, hop on the streetcar, or make it part of a larger walking tour of the city. As someone still enjoying the process of discovering Charlotte, places like this make me appreciate the city's history and personality. It's compact, charming, and full of stories. Life is too short not to explore something new, Charlotte. Take a stroll through The Alley at Latta Arcade, slow down, and enjoy a piece of the city's history.
