This is the perfect place to get reliable and high quality running shoes. When you arrive the employees will watch you walk and size you correctly. They only hold the brands with the best reputation for being great running shoes. You won't get Nikes or Adidas. They gave me a 10% discount when I asked if there are any deals so be sure to ask! I was in and out in 5 min because I just wanted to rebuy my old running shoes that were worn in. If you want to go in just to try on they won't put on the pressure on to buy. Also if you buy 6 shoes you get the 7th free! read more

I came to this store with hopes of waking out with a great fitting shoe and some insight on the type of shoe that would be best for me! Wow was I in for a treat! Sheryl ( I believe that is how you spell her name) was a very nice woman that knew what she was talking about! I believe she said she was the owner of the shop. They have been servicing the Clear lake area for about 15 years! So back to the shoe experience. I was able to tell Sheryl my needs , what my problem with my current shoes (average lower tier brand running shoes) and how I keep having or needing sports message or chiropractic adjustment on my lower back. She asked me to take off my shoes , measured my foot (width , height and arch support needed) , asked me to walk up and down the store and she immediately knew what kind of shoe would be best for me. It was so refreshing to know that she knew what I needed out of a shoe! She looked at my old running shoes to verify my step. She went to the back of the store and came back about 5 min later with 3 choices of shoes. She had me try on the first , walk in it and then try the next pair. One by one I would talk about how they felt and in moments she gave me her recommendation. I was really impressed with the owner and the store. You can tell the running gurus come here for a reason. They seemed to have several folks in the store helping people and I paid about $125 for the running shoes. They do have a rewards program so if you buy seven pairs of shoes the 7th one is free. After using the Brooks shoes on my first run it felt immediately different. No longer were my feet killing me getting off the treadmill or my feet and legs feeling just used up and sore the next day. My knees didn't hurt and my lower back felt fine. The cushioning and support on the shoe was what I needed. I can't say enough how happy I am with them. Thank you On the Run!!! I run for health reasons and I'm in no way shape or form a pro runner. Nor did I use to run track or cross section. I'm just an average guy that was looking for a change of the normal "running" shoe. Lots of options on shoes. Different brands and even different widths. -Rick Y. read more

I love coming here when I need to get new running shows. I have super high arches and they have a handful of shoes that work well with my feet. The employees are so kind and patient. They want you to find the best shoe that fits your needs whether its running, walking or just an everyday shoe! Also if you're a fan of Goodr, they have a great stock their! read more

After looking at 32 stores for new workout shoes, we finally found a pair that worked! Jareco (I'm so sorry cuz I know I spelled that wrong) helped us find the perfect pair for my husband. The process was extremely helpful and thorough. They have you walk without shoes to evaluate the way you walk in order to determine what type of shoe you'd need, after carful evaluation, they size your foot and bring you several pairs to try. Jareco was extremely patient, kind, and supportive. You even get a "punch card" so you buy 6 pairs of shoes and get 1 free! Wonderful experience and really appreciated Jareco's assistance!! Highly recommend! (Sorry again for misspelling your name. You're awesome!!!) read more

Great shoe store and very friendly. They helped me pick out the perfect shoe for me and I love them.

Excellent service and a very knowledgeable staff! Loved the attention to detail and superb customer service.

My Podiatrist sent me to On The Run to be fitted for shoes. I have a small wide foot with high arches and am about to have two surgeries. The nice ladies at this store helped me find the right fit and ordered the shoes I needed. The difference it made was amazing. I will be returning to order another pair very soon to use on my upcoming Alaskan cruise. read more

I actually stumbled upon this place because of a tiktok! And I'm glad I did, the staff was extremely friendly and helpful. The staff performed some type of foot analysis as I walked back and forth barefoot which let me know that I had a foot pronation. Finding shoes that were made for my foot was so easy! I definitely recommend this place to anymore looking for new sneakers, even if it's not for running! read more

Went by there and picked up the new Brook's Ghost 11s. Very, very comfy shoe! Staff was friendly and very knowledgeable. No pressure at all to purchase. They had many regular customers they knew by name. This was my first purchase there. I'm sure I'll continue to buy in the future. I hope I win the raffle for a free pair! read more

Came here for new running shoes and they were very helpful! Awesome customer service and a great selection of shoes! Definitely coming back when I need a new pair! read more

This is the place to go if you are serious about quality shoes. I don't just buy my shoes heree, I buy an education as well. Manager and staffknowledgeable and helpful. Very satisfied and will keep shopping here. read more

Started having knee problems because I was running and soon realized a lot of it was caused by my shoes. Went to on the run and they were super helpful in doing a custom fitting and addressing my needs. Also got a 10% discount because I was a new client and they have an excellent 30 day return policy. I later checked online to see how much the shoes retailed and realized I got a good deal. Would def recommend to anyone needing new running shoes. read more

My daughter is doing Color Guard with Drum Corps and she was in severe pain from shin splints. I called ahead and rushed over for them to pick out a few shoes in her size and problem. I chose one pair and then I rushed her shoes to the post office for over night out delivery of state and saved my chick. They truly helped her and now she can finish her summer pain free. Her 16 hour days with Phantom Regiment is not easy especially while in pain. THANK YOU. read more

Ok, I needed new running shoes and the last pair I lucked out and just bought online, but I've been running a LOT more and decided that I needed to find the right shoe for my foot, my stride and the way I run. But I was afraid to come in here because I was afraid they might not be interested in helping me since I only run 5ks. Wow, was I wrong! We were greeted as soon as we walked in....not in a high pressure omg I have to sell you something now way, but in a friendly, we want to help you find what is best for you way. I didn't get the lady's name that helped me, but she had me walk around barefooted to see my stride and measured my foot and looked at my old running shoes and helped me decide on the perfect pair of shoes. They don't have a huge selection of shoes, but they do have a few of each of the different types for the way you run...and if you're not quite sure what you need, they will help you. They also have accessories and clothes. It's not a huge store, so if you want a big selection then you might want to go elsewhere, but if you want great customer service and want to talk running, then definitely head here. It's not a cheap place, but after looking at the shoes at Academy the prices really aren't that much higher, plus again, the customer service is top notch, so to me it is definitely worth it! I love my shoes and I can't wait to get out in them and get my run on! read more

The store has a decent selection, but the staff, and by staff I mean Brandon Weaver, is horrible. Very rude and is very cocky and sarcastic; thinks he's better than the customer he's helping out. Love the store, but he makes you want to walk out instantly. Not sure why he still even works there. read more

I love this store. If you are looking for a proper running shoe then this is the place to go in this area. First of they start by making you walk up & down a small area to see how you walk & then do a proper sizing. Then they choose 3-4 pairs for you & bring them out for you to try & decide for yourself which ones are best for you. The selections they offer are somewhat limited but of very good quality. The staff are attentive,eager to help & knowledgeable on everything about the sport of running & different upcoming races available. If you are looking for a specific shoes that is not available in the store they have no qualms ordering it for you. They also have a small selection of running accessories & clothing. The prices are a little higher than your average store however they have a "punch card" that allows you to get a free pair of shoes on your 8th purchase!!! I personally prefer to buy from local shops vs the major companies that don't care,they're more about profit than your feet. Should you need a shoe for a different sport (volleyball,basketball,etc.) they can also order them for you based on a catalog that they have in store,just ask! On the flip side,if you're going to be a princess about having blue shoes instead of what they have in the store or aren't willing to wait for your order to come in,then that's on you. Manufacturers only have certain colors they offer in a specific shoe so suck it up! You're running not going to a fashion show! Finally,you can bring your old shoes in & they donate them to a local homeless shelter. I'll be a return customer for many years to come! read more

Okay y'all, sending me a personal message saying that the folks there are only that way if you're rude first only confirms the fact that they are. It made me laugh as I read the message. I in fact did return to give the place another chance with my son and the service was a little better but the shoe my son wanted needed to be ordered. He had to choose another shoe because they no longer had the shoe he initially wanted. When I went to pick up his shoes the kids behind the desk were eating and on his cell phone. I told them that I was there to pick up some shoes and they look bothered. A young lady from the back asked for the name and went to get them for me. If it wasn't for her then I would have walked out. I don't know why they keep staff like the ones behind the desk on staff? read more

On the Run is not only the best place to go to buy running shoes, they also are huge on supporting the local community. As a frequent runner, but no more than half marathons, I trust the team at On the Run to take the time to get the fit right. They understand the needs from any level of experience runner: from your first 5K to your 100th marathon. They happily watch you walk, observe how your foot falls, and ask questions about what it is you need in a shoe. They have a good selection, of the top/popular contenders, but not an overwhelming list of options. Sometimes less is more; especially when the shoes you're choosing from have a good track record and On the Run knows their quality. Yes, you will be paying for quality, anywhere from $100 to $150 per pair, but they have a program where you buy 6 get the 7th pair free. I also go to their website for listings of local runs, and usually I find 5K/10Ks listed there before any other website. They frequently host packet pick-ups, and I enjoy their annual Turkey Day run! read more

I'd give them 10 stars if I could! These folks know what they're doing and they do it right. If there is a problem, they'll make it right. People who have been serious runners for any length of time already know about these folks so this review is oriented toward people newer to the sport or who have decided to get serious about it. If you are going to be a runner, you NEED the right shoes - it's really not an option - you're going to hurt yourself without them. That doesn't mean you need the most expensive shoes - it means the RIGHT shoes for your foot and your running style. The folks at On The Run will help you find the RIGHT shoes for you. Expect to spend between $100 and $150 for a good pair of running shoes. It's just what they cost. You can find less expensive shoes at the big chain stores but are they going to be the right ones for you? Who knows... Will you end up hurting yourself? Who knows... I've gotten 3 pairs from them so far. All of them have been exactly what I needed at the time - PERFECT! I will buy all of my running shoes from them in the future. I am a customer for life. Disclaimer: I am in no way associated with On The Run or anyone who works there or has any ownership in the company. I am simply a very very happy customer. read more

I'll first say that I didn't even get to shop here today due to the "mask required" restrictions this store as recently adopted (that i wouldn't have even known about without trying to shop here). I'm not opposed to wearing a mask, but if you are going to require it of your customers who enter your business i feel it should be provided if you don't have your own. I recently started running outside again due to the gyms being closed and planned to purchase shoes from this location today... but the way I was "greeted" then sent away to go get a mask will keep me from returning ever again. read more

On the Run is a great neighborhood store for shoes and running/athletic accessories. Their staff is very well trained in both the technical aspects of the shoes as well as customer service. You never see anyone who isn't excited about being there and helping you. They won't have the variety of a "big box" store, you come here to get great customer service and interaction with a sales attendant who listens to your needs. They always have the latest editions of shoes, you can always call ahead to see if they might have what you're looking for. They're also a great community ally. They heavily sponsor local running clubs and 5K races, there always seems to be some event coming up soon and the store is the place to be to see what's happening. On the Run is a great asset to the Clear Lake area, a linchpin for the running community. read more

Great service! Young guy that helped me dos the fitting and helped me pick the right pair. Compared the price on Amazon and On my he Run was $5 cheaper! I'll definitely be back! read more

I just signed up for my first marathon and was looking for a running store that could fit me into a good pair of running shoes. The service was fantastic, I brought in my old running shoes to show them my wear pattern, they took one look and new everything there was to know about the shoes. I was really impressed. They know what they are doing, I ran my first 10 miles this past weekend with the new shoes they recommended feel great. Great store, great people and highly knowledgeable. read more

This is one of my favorite stores to buy shoes. The owners are so knowledgeable on shoes and will do their best to get you the perfect pair. I was out in 10 minutes. Great people with great knowledge. They wear their masks and keep things sanitary. Love this place. Would recommend to anyone looking for some running shoes. read more

Very kind staff. Knowledgeable and willing to help. Shoes fit great. They ordered two widths for me to try on to see which fit better. I will definitely be back and recommend it to anyone looking for premium running shoes. read more

Really helpful staff. Good selection of running shoes. No pressure from the sales staff. They are interested in helping you find the right pair of shoes. They have a card for buy 6 pairs get one free which is a sweet deal! Totally recommend this place is you are trying to find the right pair of running shoes or if you are on your feet all day and need good fitting comfortable shoes. read more

I needed new running shoes and wanted to break away from my staple purchase of a pair of ASIC Kayanos, so I decided to stop by On the Run. The staff were helpful, friendly, and showed me a nice pair of New Balance 1260V3 shoes that I decided to purchase. This is where the problems set in. The only shoe available was white/red, unfortunately I don't really want a white running shoe since they look good for about 2 weeks and then need washing. So I decided to take the recommendation of the sales associate and wait while they order a blue pair. Sounds good to me, I wait a week, get my new pair of awesome blue shoes and everyone is happy, right? This is where the ball got dropped. I wait over a week and receive a call saying that my shoes are in. I stop by, grab the box, look inside and it's the wrong color. In fact, it is the old red/white color originally in the store which I tried on. I tell the sales associate the issue, he goes to look into it, turns out they actually couldn't get the blue pair of shoes they said they could a week ago; the factory actually ran out of them. Ok. Factory issue, not On the Run's fault. What is On the Run's fault though is this. 5 days before I picked up the shoes, they found out, from the factory, that they would not be getting the blue pair I requested. However, no call was made to me about this. 5 days after this call they decide to give me a pair of shoes that I tried on in the store, the very same pair of shoes which I could have walked out of the store the very day I purchased them. I didn't wait over a week to get the same shoes I paid for a week ago. I waited a week to get the pair of shoes I purchased! If you can't get me those, you should tell me! I'm not mad that they didn't get the shoes, I'm mad that they didn't tell me they didn't get the shoes. Instead, On the Run made me wait a week to be given the wrong pair of shoes and didn't have the decency tell me that they were giving me the wrong pair of shoes. I had to tell them! For a store dedicated to customer satisfaction, that's a big misstep. You can't take someone's money, order a pair of shoes, not get the pair of shoes, and then attempt to pass off another pair of shoes as those shoes without telling me anything. All I wanted was a call asking if I would take the red/white shoes. I probably would have! That's it. Simple, 5 minute call to explain things, I take the shoes. The way things went down though, I was lied to and given the wrong shoes with no explanation. For that, I give this otherwise stellar store 2 stars. After this fiasco, I went online to LeftLane sports, found the same shoes, in the color I requested and priced $45 cheaper than On the Run. Needless to say, I purchased them and will be returning the pair of shoes On the Run gave me within the week. If you read this entire rant-like post, thanks, my end statement is that On the Run is great if you want to walk in and walk out with some shoes and you've never bought a pair of running shoes before/want a new pair and are willing to pay a premium. Otherwise, the order in process screwed me over and left me unable to run for the past week. At least I'll come out with the right shoes in the end, even if it was a struggle to get there. read more

I am going to give this store a 5 star review for a few reasons. The staff is very helpful and knowledgeable. Their prices are competitive and their selection is very good. I have purchased 2 set of shoes here and have been satisfied every time. I don't hesitate to buy because of their 30 day return policy. read more

I usually have to try on dozens of shoes to find a pair that give my (somewhat gimpy) feet the support they need. After talking to me about what I need, Alex was able to suggest a pair that worked perfectly! Their return policy is excellent, though I don't expect to need it. read more

Prices seem a bit high, but the staff are very knowledgeable and helpful! They measure your foot in all different ways and really talk to you about your needs in a shoe before making recommendations. It's not a high pressure environment and they seem invested in customer satisfaction. I recommend it to runners! read more

Could not ask for more from a shoe store with extensive knowledge regarding hard to fit feet not to mention an impressive selection of shoes. They really went out of their way to find shoes that worked with my new orthotics, and provided extraordinary customer service throughout the process. read more

Great service but poor selection. I needed a good tennis shoe and all they had were 3 shoes in the whole store that would fit me !! I'm a size 9 so they should have had a better stock !! read more

This was a completely different shoe buying experience for me. Usually I ask a teenage sales associate which shoe is a good shoe for a person with shin splints and flat feet and they lead me to whatever shoe is the most expensive BUT, On The Run is different buying experience. They ask you about the kind of runner you are, what you have been wearing, what issues you have running and then they evaluate your feet. Then they pick out shoes for you to try on. I wanted the abnoxiously colored running shoes but as it turns out, they were not right for me. They Taylor picked the shoes for me. The shoes I bought there are perfect and I will only buy running shoes from On The Run from here on. read more

I needed new running shoes, the store was empty and yet the employee had like zero time to help me find a good shoe. He showed me a few options, but neither of them felt right. He said they have a good return policy but I wasn't even sure if I needed neutral, stability, hell not even the width! I asked if it could be the wrong shoe that is causing my knee pain, he shrugged. They didn't ask me to walk to see if I was over-pronating he simply suggested a stability shoe which they don't have. We then sat in silence with a shoe I wasn't happy with, no helpful suggestions nothing just silence. I decided to go to another running store and not take a chance on buying the wrong shoe. read more

On the Run is THE BEST store for buying running shoes. I have been running for over 40 years and have personally bought over 20 pairs of running shoes from this store. I have only been disappointed with one pair of shoes I bought there AND the young man who sold me the shoes told me he didn't think I should buy them. I bought a pair of Newton shoes that I just wanted to try (I have run in Saucony for the past 10 years). I gave them away to a young man and he absolutely loved them. Lesson learned - stick to the ones that I have used for years! And listen to the folks at On The Run! My wife and 4 sons buy shoes from this store and they have not been disappointed. I send everyone to this store to buy running shoes. The folks who work there are runners. They know running! They are extremely knowledgeable about shoes and which one best fits different runners. They make recommendations about which shoe will fit you and your needs. They seem to really want you to have the best shoe for you - and that's important. When I ran my first marathon in Houston at age 50, they gave me important pointers about buying larger size than usual so I wouldn't loose toenails - I didn't. They sell a lot of shoes, so you may have to wait a few days if they order you a pair. I don't worry about colors - I want a great shoe. Their prices are NO more expensive for that particular shoe than any other store. You get a free pair when you buy the 7th pair of shoes. Plus if you are a member of running club or triathlon group and let them know they give you 10% discount During shoe tract season, lots and lots of kids there buying their shoes. Bottom line, 10/10 for this store. Recommend without reservation! Go check them out. I'm heading there now to buy another pair of shoes. read more

Ok just bought shoes from here and so far am disappointed. After trying on 7 different pair of shoes and 2 sales guys they came up with a pair of men's shoes that is a size too big. They told me to tie them tighter and wear them for awhile and that I could bring them back. I think they were just trying to make a sale because they didn't have the right size for me!! Im very disappointed that I let them talk me into buying them just so they could make the sale! I probably will be taking them back. read more
