    Located on Kapahulu Ave, heading down Kapahulu heading into Waikiki on the right side a little after to pass Safeway Supermarket and other businesses on the left side of kapahulu ave. They have a parking lot which they share with couple of other business. We called before we went down and they had the type of shoe but the color was limited to only 2 colors. For me they had none of my type shoe or size, because they inventory only a few sizes and types. The salesperson was very helpful and friendly. They did have a large section of 20 to 50 percent off of the older model of shoes, but none that I was looking for.

    Mindy was extremely knowledgeable about shoes and what the best ones were for the way that I walk and run. They noticed that my right foot turns out a bit and that's stemming from it compensating for my tight hips on the right. Amazing that they read that because that's what my chiropractor and yoga instructors say, too. Got some On AG (Swiss brand). Apparently, they were on sale, so that's bonus, for a great value. Everyone was so friendly and efficient. They have a parking lot in the front and I would definitely come again in the future. Mindy was awesome! Oh they also have my Goodr BFG sunglasses that I love.

    If you ever bought shoes at the Running Room, you will never go any place else. The staff is incredibly knowledgable about running shoes. They have all run marathons. The owner/manager understands how people move their feet and what the movement means for shoes. I bought my first pair of shoes from him two years ago. I learned I was wearing the wrong size and wrong kind of shoe. I loved those shoes so much that I returned to buy another pair today. They take a lot of time with each customer and learn what the person needs. They also educated the customer. The prices are reasonable for the level of service. I also picked up some workout clothes that were on sale. They carry a lot of running gear. They have a small parking lot next to the building. They are a local small business. You just can't get this kind of service anyplace else.

    With online shopping making things all too convenient it's been awhile since I have gone shoe shopping in person. But after dealing with foot pain issues for the last year a visit to a specialty store was needed and I was reminded about the running room. The only reason I didnt give it a 5 star review was due to the limited colors in all sizes but otherwise I was happy to walk out with a new pair of on cloudmonster shoes. Love that the customer service is personable and knowledgeable. Very eager to help. Much easier parking and hassle than the mall.

    I've previously been to Running Room (RR) a couple of times when I came specifically to purchase Wright socks. My cousin highly recommended me to get these specialty socks as he runs marathons periodically on the West Coast. As a novice who had completing a marathon on my bucket list, I purchased Wright socks from here. That was about 10 years ago. Fast forward 10 years - - I'm older where my body is experiencing aches and pain. I injured my ankle late last year where my podiatrist saw me 2x in about 3 months with the same injury. On my last visit the podiatrist recommended me to invest in a good pair of shoes to support my feet as I am on them a lot while juggling 2 jobs. She gave me a 15% off coupon to RR where I kept this in my wallet. I recently realized it was time to replace my shoes. In the past, I'd go to Ross as they're economical. This was the my plan until I opened my wallet and saw the coupon. This led me to pay a visit to RR. Located on the Diamond Head side of Kapahulu Ave, near Ono Seafood, RR has been in business since 1976. I drove to here on a recent weekday afternoon and easily found parking in their shared private parking lot. There were only a few patrons when I arrived and I made a beeline to their shoes display. Shortly after, I was approached by Noah, one of the floor associates, who greeted me and asked what I was looking for or if I had any questions. We started to have a conversation and the next thing I know he fired questions to me left and right, which caught me off guard as I clearly am not knowledgeable in shoes so this was a great education for me. After narrowing down to my specifics, Noah brought over several pairs of shoes for me to try. On each pair I tried on, he assessed how the shoe fit to ensure the length and width. I truly appreciate his patience as several more pairs were brought over me. Eventually my decision was narrowed down to 2 pairs and I ended up with my first choice for its comfort and fit, a silver colored pair of New Balance. Noah did mention to me they have a clearance section. At my part time job, I work in the fast food industry where I'm on my feet for hours. I wanted a second pair of shoes but of a darker color. I tried on a pair that fit well but the price was higher than what I budgeted for. But then I reminded myself the importance of investing in a good pair of shoes to support my needs and prevent future injuries. My decision was made and Noah rung up my 2 pairs of shoes. Since my purchase, I've worn both pairs of shoes where they clearly are more comfortable than what I've been getting from Ross. I'm on my feet for extended periods of time and glad to report my feet and ankles are both holding well. Overall, an amazing shoe shopping experience at RR where I wouldn't hesitate coming back again. I'd like to commend Noah, who is in his early 20's, amazing customer service by educating me with useful information, allowing me to try on multiple pairs of shoes and dedication to customer satisfaction. I'll be sure to come back again.

    First time buying shoes from here

Is now the biggest support for our soles as I remember shopping here for my shoes when I was very little was very surprise to see that they have survived all the big shops filled with styles that many crave for though I must admit that I haven't been there in decades until having feet problems and my podiatrist suggested picking up some support for my sad and aching feet. Located on the ground floor of University Plaza which is right behind Raising Cane's on South King Street and the entrance is easiest on Kuilei St as University Ave can get very busy with traffic. You can see their sign right below the staircase though I accidentally walked into a vape shop lol Uyeda is located right beside it. Walking in I can instantly tell it's not at all what it used to be though it's so nice and clean and very organized a lady came out to greet me and find out what I was looking for and for me to describe what foot issues I have as I was told that many bartenders and various working folks that are on their feet constantly are regulars here. Seeing a rack with Oofos and Hoka shoes just to name a few are all known for comfort. As I found the insoles and suggestions it's the place to come for Black Friday she says as everything is 20% off and as these shoes are pricey the value of your feet as it's the foundation of it all is worth every penny. Thank you!

I have boxes of Damiani, Naturalizer, Italian, Callisto, and Athena Alexander shoes, and usually the same style in at least two colors. The convenient location, reasonable prices ($19 and upwards, typically in the $45-$59 range), and variety of styles make this an ideal place to shop for the working girl, hmm... let me rephrase... make that "business professional woman." If you work in downtown, you have probably already stopped by on your lunch break to chat with the owner while she helps you navigate the myriad of boxes to find the right size for you. She does buying trips several times a year and brings back the latest styles. If you're a common size, you may have to wrestle with another customer for the shoe, so the best thing is to ask the owner when the new styles are coming in and plan accordingly. Have fun!

    Yelp Ghost, you're killing me!!…read more Since my previous review disappeared, I'll write this new review based on three of my most recent visits. I was looking for a new walking and running shoe so I immediately went to Food Locker at Ala Moana Center. They are located on the top floor across Hoka. Since my sister swears by Hoka and I recently bought my dad a pair of Hoka's, I looked at that section first. My cousin recommended a brand called ON so I also checked that section out after. Now I could compare them myself. I picked a pair from each brand and a SA named Joshua helped me. He was friendly and very knowledgeable about both brands. Joshua offered exceptional customer service. He didn't take long to bring out my size to give them a try. I personally didn't care for how the Hoka's made me feel. It felt like a rocking motion but maybe I need to acclimate to them? The ON pair was extremely light and very comfortable. It was a hard decision so I told Joshua I would think about it and come back. I ended up coming back to pick up the ON shoes another day. He was working so he was able to assist me with bringing the pair out for me to purchase. They offer you to join their FLX rewards program and to do a survey of your visit. With Joshua's excellent customer service, I made sure to do it. To my surprise, I received a $10 gift certificate to use on my next purchase after completing the survey. It came in handy as I wanted to get my father-in-law a pair before we flew out to visit my in-laws. Of course my dad wants a pair too lol. Great option to purchase sneakers, socks or sports apparel.

    Shoe shopping…read more.. This gal isn't really a shoe shopper but my feet is always in desperate need for a comfortable pair and I've been relying on Foot Locker for that though at one point they had great selection for women as I've always came here versus the Women's Foot Locker which sadly has closed now find that the selection here for my personal preference is meh! The staff here is great as they greet you but I'm a browser and do need time to look so I don't mind that solidarity and to think through the prices as well though sometimes have the need to ask for their knowledge and suggestion which is something we all should do especially mine is mostly for work. Their insoles are a great item to keep in mind...get them and keep the receipt with the box because once they wear out it's use you can have them replaced for free as most time the insoles wear out before the shoe so you don't have to purchase another if it's in good condition and offers like this is wonderful new to keep my feet happy. Thank you!
