Walking into Runners Roost in Fort Collins feels like stepping into a true Colorado running…read moreinstitution. This isn't a generic big-box sporting goods store. Runners Roost has been part of the Colorado running culture since 1977, when the first location opened in Colorado Springs. Over the years it has grown carefully to about ten locations across the Front Range, while still keeping that independent, community-driven feel. The Fort Collins store absolutely carries that spirit. Even though I didn't end up buying shoes this time, I really enjoyed the energy and vibe of the shop. It's welcoming, knowledgeable, and clearly built around people who actually run and understand the sport. They also carry a serious lineup of brands. You'll find running staples like HOKA, Brooks, Saucony, ASICS, New Balance, Altra, and On, along with apparel and gear designed specifically for runners and endurance athletes. What stood out to me most was the variety. Whether you're a serious marathon runner, a trail runner, or someone who just wants a comfortable pair of walking shoes, there are plenty of options to explore. Fort Collins has a lot of great shops in Old Town, but places with nearly 50 years of running heritage are rare. Runners Roost is one of them. Definitely worth stopping in if you care about running, walking, or just want to browse a store that actually knows its craft.

If I go in kind of knowing what I am looking for, I can usually get what I need. Don't be shy, as it has been my experience that they let you look around. If you have a question, go ahead and ask them. I have used them to supply my running, swimming, biking and fueling needs. Not the cheapest but It is so good to have a store in town that loves all the endurance sports. Local with a lot of good advice, suggestions and stories. I will continue to go back to them.

They were actually closing 4-5 minutes early but allowed us to come in but told us we needed to be quick. I asked where the frisbee golf stuff was and they pointed us in that direction. They had a pretty good selection The staff was friendly though at check out. I have shopped here in past. They have a nice selection of hiking and camping gear at fair prices. Have also gotten hiking boots here in the past. Have not found the staff to be overly helpful in that department in answering my questions regarding boots. Also last pair of hiking boots I got only lasted 6 months next . My next hiking boots I will probably go to Sierra trading post and get a little higher quality brand where staff can help me out some. The camping gear has all lasted and been good for us though The store has a whole has quite a variety of items in it for good prices.

This was a real disappointment. I went to this store two Fridays ago to get my sister some unique…read moregifts from a cool looking shop in Old Town (concept was art offerings from 3rd World countries all female artists - cool and creative, like my sister). The young lady who was working there offered help and I thanked her but I l really had an idea what I was looking for. After selecting a few items, I asked if they had shipping and she said they did (she mentioned she would remove the price tags and make it look nice). Both items were fragile (a small vase and a ceramic ramen bowl) and she said she would package and ship the items out as I mentioned that would be perfect as my sister's birthday was the following Tuesday (and she gave me the price of a priority large box for shipping, perfect). She asked if I would like for her to send me the tracking # after it was sent. I said once again that's great and completed my transaction after writing down my sister's name, her address, and my phone number. I was very happy with what I picked for my sister and thought I had made a great choice for her. I never heard anything Friday or Monday and decided to follow up 1st thing Tuesday morning as I imagined my sister would be getting her gifts that day or the following at the latest. I called and left a message first thing Tuesday morning but did not receive a call back after leaving a message. I called back a few hours later and got the young lady on the phone to find out she had not sent it. I told her I would have sent it myself had I known she would not be sending it that day, Friday (I made the purchase around 11 AM). She was very nonchalant about the mistake and agreed to send it out that day with little apology. My sister was out of town when her gifts arrived but she sent me a message and pictures today of the bowl broken and not wrapped how you would expect something that was ceramic with a little weight to it would be packaged. I called again and told her what happened and she said "sorry dude" let me refund you the price of the bowl. I said that would be appreciated and then mentioned I believe she should refund the shipping too since she did not send it on Friday as we agreed. She said that was not their responsibility as that was not agreed upon despite the conversation we had about it getting their on her birthday, the following Tuesday. I reminded her we did have an agreement she would get that out for the Tuesday delivery for my sister's birthday. She then flipped and said she would refund the shipping as well, after having an experience I regret now. The kicker was really how nonchalant the mistakes were treated and how I was kind of shrugged off. Lesson learned.

Just the other day I called to see if they still carried Hydromissions soap. I bought a couple of bars here once. I called to see if they did and all of the response was 'Gee, I dunno. We have soap.' by the lady that picked up the phone. Uh... your store is not that big. Don't you know what merchandise you carry? It says Hydromissions right on the package. Duh. This latest experience doesn't dissuade me not to go back to Ten Thousand Villages but I was mad that the person did not take the initiative to find out if they had the soap I wanted. No eagerness in trying to make a sale. How much does this prompt me to go find Hydromissions soap somewhere else? 'Gee, I don't know.'

The store was great until a couple of months ago when store management changed. I used to love going into the store and getting amazing service from the store manager, who was upbeat and would have a lot of fun picking out outfits and jeans for you. I went in recently to find out that the manager had changed, and with it a lack of that great service I used to get. I was even hearing the new manager complain about how many hours she's worked during the week. I don't know about anyone else but to me that just comes across as lack of passion for what you are doing. It just felt unprofessional to me. The clothes there are great, but some of the staff is very lack-luster. I'm giving it three stars just because their clothes are a redeeming quality.
