Stopped by to get some basic gear for workouts. Found everything I needed, and the quality seems solid. Prices are reasonable too.

Had a great experienced today getting fitted for some running shoes! Cole was supper helpful and walked me through some pairs and was knowledgeable. First time at Luke's and getting fitted. I'll be back in the future for my shoe needs! read more

Luke's Locker - Awaiting opening - Shoe Stores Near Me - Dallas, Texas

What can you say about Luke's that has not been said? They are a great show athletic shoe boutique that delivers on customer service. The folks here know their stuff and go through a fitting process that not only ensures you get the right shoe, but also ensures you have the correct fit. While they do have sales and closeout items, do know this is not a discount shoe retailer. They have a closeout section if you are looking for more value for your dollar. They have a great selection. They carry top brands for fitness, like Asics, Hoka, Saucony, New Balance, On Running, Brooks, Brooks, Mizuno, Topo Athletic and more. My personal favorite is the Asics Gel Nimbus. They are probably a little too cushioned for real serious runners, but me being more of a walker, I find them perfect! read more

A fantastic running shop in Dallas. Kind and knowledgeable staff, terrific selection.

Walked in it was super busy. The first available team member greeted me with a couple minutes of walking in and helped me find the style in the shoes I was looking for. Came for vivo barefoot shoes and they had all the styles I was looking for. Good to try on many different sizes. Great selection on clearance items which made apparel more reasonably priced. Good experience would recommend read more

Duncan at this store has put 15 years of shoes on my feet for military service. Overseas, in training, in garrison!!! He provides the BEST selection for your next adventure!!! The best value!!!!! read more

Luke's Locker - 15 years and counting in business and friendship!!! - Shoe Stores Near Me - Dallas, Texas

I went into Lukes to pick up my Turkey Trot race bib. Never been in before. Quite a wide range of selection for runners shoes. They had lots of staff on hand to help with shoe try on and sales. I tried on a handful but my associate Rocky suggested we order the color I wanted, with the promise it would be here next day. As promised, I received the call today that they arrived. I went back in and Matt helped me try them on, then a bunch of others. He was patient even though we both knew the store was closing. I found a great pair of shoes, with a 15% off deal from the Turkey Trot promo. Hokas ~$150. Great selection & service. read more

Trying to contact the store. Bought shoes online and they sent me a men's 7.5 and not a women's 7.5. Voicemail is full and sent two emails in the past three days with no response. Not very responsive for sure. read more

Duncan at the Mockingbird location is by far the most knowledgeable person I have ever met in the athletic shoe industry. I'm almost 70 years old, so I've been around the block a time or two. I will be a customer of Luke's Locker for the rest of my life after meeting Duncan. And I will recommend Luke's Locker to all of my family and friends. I will make it very clear to all of them that if they are thinking of purchasing any athletic apparel/footwear in the North Texas area, then the ONLY place they should go to is Luke's Locker. Luke's Locker is extremely fortunate to have a person like Duncan working for them. But I'm sure the owners are already well aware of this. George C. Sowan Cell 972.854.8505 read more

This is what a running shoe store should be like, with helpful staff and good advice when choosing from the huge variety. I just wish there was a store that did this well for other shoe types. Prices are MSRP, but sales happen that can help. Still, you get what you need for your actual use case rather than the pretty upsell shoe. read more

My daughter needed running shoes, so we decided to stop by. They have so many options. Chriscina was kind and very informative. This place is excellent. We will definitely be back. Thank you for all your help and patients. read more

Amazing service! I went in for new running shoes for half-marathon and I was immediately greeted with a "hello" and someone who was knowledgeable in running shoes. It's like running on a cloud in my new sneakers. read more

I really need to stop going to Luke's. I usually feel so uncomfortable when I leave there. A few weeks ago I purchased a shoe. The salesperson Carmen was fantastic-very professional and friendly. In fact, most of my experience there was pleasant, with very friendly employees checking on me and making sure I was finding what I needed. I thought to myself, they've replaced the older women who have that "air" that says you don't belong here, you couldn't have enough money to shop here, and I distrust you because you don't look like our wealthy Highland Park/Park Cities /SMU clientele. In simple terms, they have a racist/elitist "air" about them. And, before anyone gets upset I'm an older woman. Well, Carmen told me I had 30 days to try the shoe. It was a new brand for me, so I only wore them at home while doing chores and 28 days later I decided they weren't working, so I attempted to take them back. I was assisted by Taylor who was very nice. She opened the box and asked if I'd worn them and I answered yes but only at home and she noted I'd brought them back within 30 days. I explained the shoes were pinching the top of my foot and felt heavy. Taylor called Nancy or Susan, whom I assume was the Manager up to okay the return. You guessed it-Nancy/Susan had that "air" about her. With no warmth or smile on her face she began to drill me about the shoe. Where does it hurt, did I try lacing the shoes this way and that way. How the shoe couldn't be heavy because it's one of the lightest shoes and on and on. I was like girl calm down! I explained I'd like to try some different shoes, and Nancy/Susan began to lecture me that I'd chosen one of the best shoes, but finally relented and instructed Taylor to grab some other shoes for me try. After trying on 2 pairs with Taylor, Nancy/Susan came over to check on us and suggested that I allow Ray to tie the laces of the shoe I purchased with a window to see if that helped the pinching. Ray was very nice and the way he tied my laces really did fix the pinch, so I decided to keep the shoe I'd purchased. While trying on shoes with Taylor and Ray lacing my shoes, Nancy/Susan started trying to be friendlier, but that "air" was still there. I was like I know what you are. I asked if there were any other shoes and asked about the ONs, and Nancy/Susan shot that down quickly saying what I'd chosen was a top seller, while she was wearing a pair of ONs. What she really said was ONs are not for your kind, and I'm going to do whatever I can to make you keep the shoe you're trying to return. In the end, I did decide to keep the shoes I purchased, and lo and behold Nancy/Susan's great customer skills kicked in-even offering me a new bag when mine tore. Too late lady. I know what you are. When I got home it occurred to me that I may have kept the shoe, because I felt like I'd done something wrong in trying to return them or because I allowed Nancy/Susan to make me so uncomfortable that I caved and kept the shoe. Either way, I won't be going back to Luke's by SMU. read more

Went in to see if I could get my shoes replaced because they make a squeaky noice when I walk or run. Was told since I was past the 30 days return policy and they couldn't replace them. Buyers be aware of this. I thought the noise would go away but it never did. paid $161 with my military discount and they wanted me to buy another pair. So I can have 2 pairs of shoes that squeaked, no thanks. I've been a customer for several years but that's the last time I buy shoes from here. BTW I bought shoes February 18, 2024 and today is April 23, 2024. read more

After many years of not returning, I have revisited Luke's Locker on two occasions within a month. Both times this month I was greeted and properly assisted with my specific cross training shoe needs. Two different people assisted me and both were very knowledgeable about the shoes. I was especially happy that they had my size 9 men's medium in stock in the models I needed. They also have a good selection of socks. It's rare to find a retail shoe place that has qualified, competent, and helpful staff. They seem to manage their inventory and stock well. For those reasons I will highly recommend Luke's Locker for your sport shoe needs. read more

A friend of mine told me about this place, and how they helped fit you in the correct shoes. I made an appt. with Duncan Cragg yesterday and I couldn't' be happier with how things went! He took time to ask questions, examine my gait, and look at several different brands of shoes. I settled on Hoka and man what a difference! I came home and looked them up online. I was pleasantly surprised to see that Luke's Locker was actually less expensive than Dick's and Amazon on the exact same shoe. I was expecting a larger markup considering their overhead and the excellent service that they provide. Duncan was fantastic and we will be going back there from now on for all of our walking and workout shoes. Thanks folks! Joe read more

The service was excellent as it always has been for me. I was assisted by Ray, who is very knowledgeable of all products and provides the most outstanding service every time I return here. Top notch service and a superb selection. read more

I simply love this place. Very impressed with the service. They are soooo helpful. I went there when I started training for my first marathon and haven't stopped going. They are great at helping you find the right running shoes. They make sure they fit right and make you walk and run in them to make sure you take the right pair. They were also very helpful with running nutrition and have great advice in what to eat when training. All of The staff is super friendly. It might be a bit pricier but it's worth it. If you're a member you can get some discounts. They also had discounts with the Dallas Running Club. read more

Susan was very helpful in assisting me with a new pair of running shoes. She was patient and allowed me to try on as many shoes as I wanted to find the right fit! She was also very knowledgeable with all the different pros/cons of each brand. This store has a full supply of any brand of running shoe you can think of! Would definitely recommend for those needing assistance or in the market for new running shoes/clothes/accessories. They also offer great sales! read more

Best running store in town! Been shopping there for over 30 years!! Great advice from REAL runners. Shop local.

Was my "go-to" shoe store for many years. Have seen it slowly deteriorate to a hodge-podge crowded store with wall of shoe boxes everywhere and feels cramped. If u can catch them when there aren't many customers then u can get decent help. Very disappointing, but time to move on. read more

I went here four months ago to be fitted for work shoes and really feel after my experience at Run On today that I was taken advantage of at Luke's Locker. I came in May for shoes for work and was helped by Kerry. First off her mask barely covered her mouth and kept moving. I'm immune compromised so this was disturbing. Secondly, I think she saw me and took me for a sucker. I was sold some Hokas (a great shoe) but given a size larger to compensate for the "width." (I'm a size 11) Well, my toe went through the shoe (because they're too big) and when I got my orthotics my foot rolled to the side. When I asked if I could return them, I was told to try abs "relace them with a runner's loop" and no, I couldn't return them but she'd be happy to help buy a new pair of shoes. Because I'm just made of money. I guess since she got her commission, she doesn't care about anything else. Worst ever. read more

Since I'm Latina, just waiting 30-45 min to be help clearly I wasn't a blonde or something. The staff was very rude and you can tell little racism towards me. All they said just order online but someone else got the same shoes. Little disappointed. The store don't even deserve a star read more

Do your feet a favor and go to Luke's Locker for your next pair of shoes. I was very lucky to have Ray help me. I took off my shoes, and he watched me walk a few steps. I have severely overpronated feet. Ray explained what he saw, what I needed and in short order I walked out of the store with my feet rejoicing. Ray has years of experience, patience, and an engaging personality. A++. read more

Highly recommend this place. We went to Run On and REI and had less options, with less invested staff. This place is a serious operation. The associates are just so knowledgeable about shoes. Duncan helped us out, and he was so patient with us 20 shoes later. He knows the ins and outs of all the options and makes really helpful recommendations. Also we ended up getting two pairs of HOKAs (Mach 4, Bondi 7) on clearance for $80 each. Would 100% come back! read more

Great customer service. Help you find the best shoes for your favourite athletic endeavor. Staff ensures you are fitted and walk correctly so as to not damage knees. read more

So disappointed. We're from The Woodlands and people really liked it so we made an effort to visit when we were in Dallas. Not their fail but multiple navigation sites send you to a business/warehouse district We finally arrive and parking isn't easy but we are super excited and what a let down. I was expecting lots of product, clothing and shoes. My husband and I go find nothing in our sizes. Stock was picked over and there was very little to choose from read more

I was in desperate need of new running shoes and walking shoes so I can start training for my first sprint triathlon. I spoke with a gentleman who had red curly hair. He was very knowledgeable and guided me on the type of feet I have and the type of shoes that would work best for me. I didn't realize that I need to go up a size! It blew my mind! This whole time I have been buying shoes that have been too small for me. I'm so happy and grateful for the knowledge and education on types of shoes and how to utilize them I'll def be back! read more

Very helpful and knowledgeable staff. I am running my first half marathon this year (hopefully) and needed new running shoes. Since I'll be wearing them a lot for training, I wanted to go somewhere that would help me pick the right shoes for my feet. The sales woman was super sweet and gave me her undivided attention. First she watched me walk up and down an aisle, then she watched me job on the treadmill. Then she brought me 4 different pairs of shoes to try on and I knew the 3rd pair were perfect. I've never been that decisive about anything! Thank you to Luke's for the great customer service! read more

I wish take ms sheila with me to all of my races. I met her at luke's locker after I picked up a race packet. I've been running for a few years now but never owned the right running shoes. Ms sheila was so patient and assisted me with making sure the shoes where comfortable and supported my feet. I've never experienced someone who was so pleasant, concerned, and thoughtful about ensuring that I purchased the right running shoes. Today was my first visit to the store. The items were a wee bit pricey but it's the quality of the items that you pay for, especially if you spend a lot of time running and sweating in clothing. Love luke's locker! read more

I'm so glad Luke's was able to keep a store open after some rough times. This is still the best place to get a shoe fitting. And I think we should shop local whenever possible - Luke's is still locally owned. Yay! It's a terrible place, however, to get running clothes unless you are size 0 or no body con challenges. read more

We came to this store because it's the their main store. Customer service was less than stellar. They wouldn't get my sons sizes even if they had them at another store. Only had one shoe for me in my size women's 9. Wouldn't order online for me and ship to my home. Wouldn't help me find clothes in my size. I kinda had to do everything myself. And so I even came home with socks that are very tight so I'll need to go back and return all of them. Very disappointing because this isn't the service I've gotten over the years. read more

I cannot say enough good things about Luke's Locker. Everyone needs to buy their exercise shoes here. I learned this the hard way but if you exercise on the wrong kind of shoe it can cause injury. I used to go to Run On out of convenience but they sold me shoes that caused me a very painful foot injury. Ray at Luke's spent half an hour with me examining my feet, the way I walked, and the way I run and I told him about my current toe/foot injury. He picked out a new pair of Saucony's, I ran in them the next day and my injury was gone!! Ray is a hero, thank you!!!! read more

This is the best place to get running/walking shoes! The employees are knowledgeable and helpful.

We arrived to buy our son his first pair of running shoes to commence training for a half marathon. We were immediately approached and had the best service. We were given great information about the analysis that was done taking into account that he is a growing teenager. Our son was provided we great options and recommendations. We have never been disappointed by the customer, professionalism and expertise provided by the staff at Luke's Locker. read more
