I went in expecting to drop a couple hundred dollars on new skates for my daughter just getting into skating, but they immediately got her into a used pair for a fraction of the price. Hadn't even considered that as a possibility. Certainly not looking to over-sell me. Also, I always get my skates sharpened there and they have been able to make small repairs and replace rivets on the spot. Can't beat the integrity of this place.

If you've never treated yourself to a well made pair of jogging shoes or athletic gear built to last then put this place on your list when you decide to indulge!

This shop is AWESOME!

Plus, where else can you try in shoes where they fit, and tie your laces for you. After talking to them, also found out that they can take care of pretty much any kind of custom apparel order. I highly recommend that anyone that buys shoes and performance wear stop in. Then you'll understand for yourself why.

We have bought many gloves, bats and apparel here, they guide to the right glove and will break them in for you. I have also had a few gloves restrung there with amazing results. Good gear is an investment, make sure you buy from someone who knows the game and takes the time to learn about the player. For us, it's instant replay.

He checked it on his iPhone scanner and said no. He then just walked away. What he should have done, if he had any motivation at all was to see if they had any other Asics running shoes in wide widths, but he didn't because he just didn't care. Not sure how this store stays in business.

Mostly what you will find here are high end brands and the Rei brand is of good quality but if you're on a budget there is very little to be had here. With that said, I get a lot of use out of the clothing I purchase so it's more of a buy once cry once situation. A lot of places are moving to a smaller footprint and more online shopping. This doesn't really work well for me but it is kinda the way the world is turning. Most average size people will be able to find something here but if you are on the smaller side or for kids there is a very limited selection

She was also excellent at engaging in conversation and providing informative, friendly service. We were in and out of the store in probably 20 minutes with a new pair of shoes/socks for little over $100! Darien Running Co was an excellent stop during our weekend away from NYC.

The first two times I came in, the service was great -- helpful, friendly, and attentive. But this last visit was a completely different story. No one greeted us when we walked in. We stood there clearly waiting, but the staff completely ignored us. They were too busy having personal conversations with other people -- not even helping them, just chatting as if it were a hangout spot. One worker spent the entire time stacking shoe boxes and never once looked up or acknowledged us. Not even a "Hey, we'll be with you in a minute." Nothing. We waited patiently, but after about 20 minutes of being completely overlooked, we just walked out. It's one thing to be busy, but this felt like they didn't care at all that we were there. It was rude, unprofessional, and disappointing -- especially considering how good the service used to be. Unfortunately, after this experience, I won't be coming back. Other running stores actually treat their customers with respect.
