    Was just wandering around when we happened to run into this shoe store. Walked in and was welcomed by both employees. Right away you can tell they were very friendly and welcoming. Ysenia was very knowledgeable and was helpful when it came to choosing the right size (since the shoes run a bit big). Overall it was a very pleasant experience and I love the shoes I got! Will definitely be back when I need another pair or kicks. Thank you xo

    This place is shady. Walked in and found a pair of Jordan's I've been looking for. They had my size and I said I'd take them. I never took a good look at the shoes, trusting they'd be brand new. I was still browsing for a few minutes before walking up front to checkout. I noticed the box looked slightly damaged but because I was unable to find these shoes anywhere else I let it slide figuring if there were any problems I could just return them. The associate pulled the shoes out to confirm they were the right size and from what I could see they looked good, I never touched them. He rang me up and I glanced at the return policy in front of the register, again feeling confident I could return them if there were any issues. He puts the shoes and receipt in the bag and I head out. After running several more errands I finally get home to take a closer look. The shoes were clearly worn, not sure if they were returned or simply worn in the store. The soles of both shoes show they're dirty and I can see one or two hairs on the inside of one. I look at my receipt and see it's stamped Final Sale. This pissed me off as the associate never mentioned anything about these being a final sale. Super shady and really left me with a bad taste. I'm pissed at myself for not examining the shoes closer before I checked out. I should know better than to have faith in humanity. The description on the receipt doesn't even match the shoes I purchased. Says red/white box says coral stardust. Be warned and inspect anything you buy here. Management should make sure customers are clearly informed of final sales prior to purchasing.

    I go to a lot of shoe stores from NY to LA, Chicago to Seattle. San Francisco finally has something very nice. What I love most is that this store carries kicks that other stores wouldn't. I'm Hella stoked.

    I've been here a few times and I can't believe I've never noticed, but all the shoes a bought here specifically Jordan's have been fake.

    LOVE this place! Came in for the first time today to buy some FentyxPuma pieces and they werent over pricing them like some places do. I love the look of the store as well! I think what made this place the most memorable was the customer service. They were extremely helpful and nice. They're fun to talk to and they talk to you like you've BEEN shopping with them for awhile and really take their time with you if you need help. That's probably the reason why I ended up walking out with more than I originally planned. LOL! You guys got me hooked. Customer for life.

    After many years of being disabled, I was able to regain my mobility last year through surgery…read more Now that I can walk again, that's all I want to do. Strap on my sneakers and walk, walk, walk. Unfortunately for my feet and back, my sneakers of choice are Converse. I have no less than 10 pairs, but not one of them is suitable for the type and volume of walking I'm doing now. I could have easily gone to a DSW or Foot Locker for walking shoes, but knowing myself I would have spun into a spiral of analysis paralysis, second-guessing, and doubt. Instead, I decided to visit On The Run, which I knew about from a former boss who was very particular about her footwear due to her own orthopedic issues. As soon as I walked in, I was greeted by sales associate Rahnsom. He led me to a chair and began asking exploratory questions to get a sense of my needs. He took measurements and had me walk around a bit in my socks to see what my feet and ankles were doing. With this information he was able to immediately pull 4 shoes that fit perfectly. He helped me into each pair and had me walk around the store and go up and down a little hiking simulator to test how they felt. He chose very well. Out of the first three pairs, I could have easily walked out with two of them and been happy. Even the pair that I would have passed on was comfortable but a little too high for clumsy me. When I tried on the fourth pair, though, the Goldilocks in me knew that these shoes were just right. Regarding pricing, my particular pair of New Balance was $199. Coming from a Converse budget that may have seemed high, but I was determined to invest in my comfort and safety. Additionally, I place great value on the personalized service and information that Rahnsom provided. Had I gone to a "regular" retail store, I am certain I would have wasted money on the wrong shoe. For example, I had zero idea I was actually an 8 wide. I would have bought a size 9 shoe like I usually do then would have suffered - like I usually do - with a pair that was still too narrow in the front but with my heels moving up and down in the back as I walk. Out of curiosity I just checked online for prices elsewhere on my shoes and I consistently found them at $199. So, in my personal experience so far, On The Run isn't necessarily pricier than other stores. Even if it is, I can't put a price on being able to find the perfect shoe for my situation, in record time and with zero angst and indecision.

For a store like this in a city like this I can see why they'd be cautious or would fully neglect to answer questions on the items they have in stock. It's better to go in. Customer service was cool. It wasn't a busy day and I got to try on some shoes I was interested in. There was one pair though that wasn't on the shelf and I didn't know it was some popular release. Apparently they were the Dime x Asics and the person who won never came to pick them up. They're a nice basic shoe. I'd say if you pay attention to subtle details you'd like the slight brown ombre on the shoe. Anyway, after trying on AJ1 lows that were comfy, and another pair of AJ1Mids in women's that I would have bought had they been available in my actual size and not a half size down, I walked out with the Asics. Customer service was great because the associate helping me was actually helpful. They brought me the shoes I wanted and after small talk it seemed like they picked up on the fact that I'm a bit of a sneaker lover, hence the recommendation for the shoes that were a collab and sold out everywhere release. I'm glad they were in my size. Also, they gave me the info to find the shoes that I wanted in my size on their website. Anyway, cool store and cool location.
