This is the best running shoe store in Los Angeles County. We make a point to plan a visit when we…read moreare in the area as we live SCV. All of the sales associates are highly knowledgeable and seem to enjoy working here. We tend to be Hoka customers, but I see them selling all different shoes depending on your needs. If they do not have the specific shoe in stock, they check with the other store in the area and/or order them for you. If they place an order for you it usually takes about five days. There is plenty of parking in the front or back lot. Village Runner is a hidden jewel of Redondo Beach for anyone with feet. This is definitely a five star shoe store!

Customer service doesnt exist here. Jaslene was our cashier…read more The transaction experience was awful. My husband had a little sticker shock at the register for the 26 lb weight we were buying. He took a moment because he thought it was a little less online. When he asked "and that's the total with tax?". Normally you hear back a confirmation but instead she said no with tax it's $73.62. Mind you we were at the register to pay not for a price check. My husband was looking at his phone and she blurts out "you want it or not?". We told her yes but I had to explain to her he is just taking a moment to look up the price. Normally someone at the register gives the total price when purchasing not sub total. I walked away once my husband got the receipt and was already a good ways away from the register and she yells out "Good Bye!" In the most patronizing tone. It was the cherry on top for this review. We are all human and can do better but this right here is why online shopping and self check out is putting cashiers out of jobs. Maybe she should remember that the next time she wants to be unjustifiably rude and try to make people feel less than with "you want it or not?". So if you want your intentions to be buy something rudely questioned in front of other guests than this is the place and Jaslene is your go to.

The last time I was in this Dick's was December 23rd, 2024, doing the same exact thing. I feel like what I'm supposed to say here is "I need to be better about Christmas shopping ahead of time," but I'm so tired of just saying what I am supposed to say. I'm going to start saying how I feel, no matter the backlash. Truth is, every time I finish the last-minute-panic-shopping, I come out extremely proud of what I've gotten. This year again, they were almost all hits. Shoutout to Dick's Sporting Goods. They are always there for me in the Holiday crunch time. I'll see you December 23rd, 2026.

I stopped in today because Nordstrom Rack emailed me a $20 certificate to use within a week…read more This store was cluttered with a lot of merchandise. I guess that's a good thing if you're trying to find something to buy. I didn't really need anything specific, so looked at the cosmetic aisle and shoe department. I found a bunch of On shoes, which I would have been interested in. Problem is, I already have 3 extra pairs at home sitting in boxes. I looked at flip flops and ended up getting a pair of Nikes in my size. I also saw a pair of Olukai casual shoes and would have picked it up if it fit. The salesperson near the dressing room had access to inventory and told me there wasn't any in my size. That saved me a lot of time looking up and down the aisles. I left happy that I was able to find something to take home today.

Now this is a pretty expensive store for yoga gear, so I walked in expecting a certain level of professionalism and a pleasant experience from start to finish. The cashier, though, had that kind of energy where she was both rude and nice at the same time--if that even makes sense. It was like, polite on the surface, but underneath it felt like, "Ugh... really?" I asked a few simple questions and she seemed a bit annoyed, and when I asked for tissue paper, she gave it to me--but the way she put it in the bag? You could feel the attitude behind it. It's funny how one small interaction at the end can shift the whole experience. When you're paying premium prices, you expect a premium experience--and that part just didn't match.

When I went into the store and started to look around, a gentleman came out & said someone would be right with me. A few seconds later, Tehani (Assistant Manager) approached me and asked how she could help me. Well she did just that and more!! We did the scan and I was so shocked when she told me my shoe size! I've been wrong all 40 yrs of my life! My right foot is a half size bigger She also had me walk and noticed that my feet leaned inward. Based on the results of the scan & her observation, she recommended Hokas and Brooks. I initially came into the store for the Hoka Gaviota but she suggested the Arahis for me. Unfortunately, they didn't have the size in the color that I wanted so I'll order them online. however, she did also help me with some shoe inserts for my current pair of tennis shoes and some Oofa slides to wear in the house. I'm so used to wear slippers but these slides feel so great on my achy heel and arches. Honestly, my feet already feel a lot better from just from walking with the new inserts. The Oofas were a little more in cost than I saw online but it was so worth the experience and the knowledge I received from Tehani. I would definitely shop with them again. The store is very easy to find when you're driving down Hawthorne and there's PLENTY of parking. All of the staff were welcoming! 5 stars
