Saucony Shoes
Phil L.

To be honest, I was really interested in getting a pair of Hokas since my job requires me to be on my feet all day. I used the HOKA store locator to see what retailers would have them, and it led me to Run Republic. Much to my surprise, I never realized that I passed this store all the time, as I'm in the plaza to get food from next door all the time. I walked in and was immediately greeted by Jude. Jude provided excellent service, and recommended the Saucony's to me. I ended up trying a pair of HOKAs along with the Sauconys, and found the latter pair to be really comfortable. You will pay a bit for the shoes, but take it as an investment in your personal well being. Overall, I would highly recommend this store for all your running needs, as this is what they specialize in.

We visited back in early March and had a fantastic experience! This is an excellent place to buy running shoes. The staff takes the time to help you find the perfect pair. They even have treadmills so you can try them out before purchasing. The salesperson who helped us (I wish I remembered his name!) was incredibly helpful. Highly recommend!

10000/10 RECOMMEND. What a place! RR is more than a store. It's a community. It is a one-stop shop for all your running, walking, fitness, coaching needs! New shoes--they got it. Awesome sales/deals--they got it. Group fitness--they got it. Personal training--they got it. InBody Scan--they got it. Gait & arch analysis--they got jt. Recovery tools--they got it. Free classes--they got it. Open gym Sundays--they got it. Saturday community runs for all levels--they got it. Knowledgeable, helpful, genuinely kind staff--GOT IT BY A LANDSLIDE!! I cannot express how awesome RR is. I've bought multiple shoes for myself and my mom, recommended to many friends, and joined several Saturday runs and stretch classes. Everyone is so supportive and welcoming. I always learn something new about my running/training. Each time I leave RR, not only do I want to go back for more, but I feel elevated--physically, mentally, and emotionally. TL;DR: You have to visit RR for yourself. You won't regret it!

Walked into the store to try on Hoka shoes, ended up discovering that Brooks are the running shoe for me! Thanks to the personalized attention and advice from Ian and Jude, I received a computerized analysis test of my feet, got fitted with a pair of super supportive inserts, and tried out five pairs of shoes before finding the perfect pair.

Brooks!

Ask the Community - Run Republic

Do you offer group exercise classes?

Hey LL, we do not offer group classes anymore. However we do have our group community runs. We will have our first run since moving to our new location this Saturday at Mt SAC followed by a raffle at our shop.

Is the Yelp discount still active as 20%, because I put in the code and it only gave me 2%?

Hey Rachel! Thanks for asking. It’s still active but it’s 10% off. Did you try it on our website or in store with one of our associates? You can use either code: YELPreview… 

My daughter just started running and is getting ready for her first big track meet. Do you train 10yr olds?

You're in great hands with RR. Running and physical training are their specialties, along with a fantastic lines of running shoes. I can vouch for this because I've been training with them since late last year. By the way, it's wonderful that…

I come here to get new golf club grips and fitting. They have done a good job in the past. So, I've…read morereturned with a new set of clubs.

Would leave negative stars if I could. I went for a return due to sizing, it was half a size bigger…read morewhich was recommended when purchasing a Nike basketball shoes compared to other brands. This is the very first and only item I'm trying return from many purchases I've made on Dick's online store. The store manager told me they can't accept the return because the shoes are creased, dirty and it looks like I've used them outdoor a bunch of times, after I told him I used it twice indoor. Basically he called me a liar. They asked me why is it creased. I told them you can have a brand new pair and take 10 steps in them, they will crease due to the design. I even offered to demonstrate with a new pair, then he immediately said "we don't sell those shoes here." He mentioned that he's been selling shoes for 18 years and my return is the 5th time someone trying to do the same thing that day. They keep asking me why didn't I try the shoes inside my home? Well, they're basketball shoes so I had to try it at an indoor run. What am I gonna do, play basketball inside my house? They also asked why I ordered it if I know it's half a size bigger, so I told them that it's recommended to order half a size bigger for Nike sports shoes. Honestly I don't know why I spent so much time arguing with them when they can just tell me that it's against policy and that's the end of it. I could have just left to do the return online (which I did, smoothly.) At least now I know why it's called DICK'S Sporting Goods, because they hire mostly dicks to work at this location.
