The service here is top notch. Every few months I come back to replenish my socks and look for new energy treats. This place never disappoints. I also enjoy their athletic footwear options that comparatively speak is a better value than online shopping. Highly recommend coming here for all things catered to running. read more

There are four total locations, but I live less than a mile from the Haddonfield location, so it makes sense for me to go there. But even before, when I lived in Pennsauken and Collingswood, I still made the effort to come here for all things running related. I'm a lifelong runner, and a lifelong Haddonfield Running Company customer. I've never had a bad experience. The shoe selection is incredible. The staff know everything about them and can watch you run and help you pick out shoes based on your gait, your running history and goals, your past purchases, etc. They'll sit and work with you one-on-one to find the perfect shoe for you. They have a ton of other gear as well, of course. Everything you need to help you run. The owner, Dave Welsh, is one of the most outgoing and friendly guys you'll ever meet. He is constantly giving back to the community by sponsoring and/or personally organizing local events both out in the surrounding area and in the Haddonfield store. The store often hosts guest speakers in the basement of the store, or will invite shoe companies to bring their shoes to the weekly Wednesday night group run and let people test run their shoes for the whole 6.6 mile course. The store also does sidewalk sales a few times a year where they drastically reduce prices on shoes and other items. I once got a pair of Nikes for $40. Doesn't matter if you're a newbie runner or a veteran, everyone is welcome here. Stop in for the quality products and advice, stay for the amazing community of runners you'll find here. read more

I suffer from painful bunions, planter fasciitis and I have a bone spur in my heal (like stepping on a tack). I'm past being cheap and making bad decisions for my feet. I needed help finding the right shoes for my pain. The staff at the Haddonfield Running Co. were so helpful!!! They found me the right pair of sneaks for all my problems. I haven't had a pain free day in years until I wore the Hoka Bondis. I went back a few days later and bought a second pair. I highly recommend this store. They saved me from another day of endless foot pain. AND the owner saved my neighbor and I from a creepy guy following us home from a bar one night. He walked us all the way home then jogged to his house from there. So he saved me twice. Thank you! read more

South Jersey RunningCo - Hoka Bondis - Shoe Stores Near Me - Haddonfield, New Jersey

Looking to start training for a race after years of not running. A friend recommended this place. They evaluated my gait, pronation and feet. Suggested several shoes and tried them all on. I couldn't be happier with the experience. They even had suggestions for my spouse. Shoe prices were the same as ordering online. Very professional. read more

Excellent service. I brought my daughter 1/11/23 for track and running shoes. The gentleman that attended her was helpful. He also offered us a discount (big plus) on our purchases. Highly recommend for parents who have kids in athletics and need good advice in running shoes. read more

If you are a runner, you HAVE to get professionally fitted for your running shoes. Dave and his staff are all very well trained in the biomechanics of running and know their products. When you go in for a fitting, you will be given a thorough "exam." I've been fitted for a few different pairs, and each time Dave (or one of his staff) will look at my feet, both weigh-bearing and non-weight-bearing, and watch me walk to observe my gait, pronation, etc., listen to any problems I've been having, and then recommend a variety of shoes to fit my particular "issues." The first time I was ever there, the guy who helped me brought out about 10 different pairs for me to try on! They encourage you to try each pair, walk aroudn the store, and even jog down the block to get the true feel of the shoe. They know their product. They will spend their time with you to find the right fit for you, and make recommendations regarding orthotics if necessary (I don't need them, but the store does carry a variety of them and will custom cut them to your shoe). And while I've never returned a pair of shoes, they do offer a 14 day trial period with their running shoes. HRC also carries all of the running gear you'll ever need. Although I usually buy my tech shirts at Target or Dicks on sale (because they get gross and don't have as long a life span anyway), anything where I truly care about the quality (shorts, compression pants, jackets) I'll get at HRC. They carry only the top-of-the-line products, so yes, things can be pricey, but if it is quality you are looking for, you get what you pay for. The new store (recently moved to a much bigger and nicer location across the street) is also now carrying triathlon gear, which this future triathlete has been eyeing up. HRC is also your place to get any other gear or nutritional needs you may need, such as belts, night gear, hydration belts, and Gu. Also, if you are a South Jersey Athletic Club member, Dave gives you a 10% discount on your purchases. Big SCORE, since good running shoes are not cheap. read more

Stopped by and they had a nice selection of sneakers and running shoes, as well as socks and a limited selection of clothes. Staff were busy with customers, so I didn't get a chance to interact with anyone. Good to have a place like this in a small town like ours. Easily located in the center of the shopping district on Kings Highway. They apparently can order stock if they are not immediately available. read more

I'm not anywhere near classified a runner (yet). How ever I stopped in yesterday to buy my first real pair of running shoes. I don't believe they could have been more accommodating. They watched me walk then measured my feet. Asked me a few questions and brought out 5 pairs of sneakers to try. Out of the 5 it was clear to me 3 weren't for me but the last 2 were hard to choose from. Neither pair was pushed on me and I was able to choose the pair that felt best. At no point were the more expensive shoes pushed on me and it was truly a sale of a product that fit me best. Everybody in the store was super polite and helpful. A kind woman behind the counter even gave me some tips and insight into a tri I plan on running in the fall. Pretty sure I will be back for all of my running needs. What a great place to shop! read more

We got here late and the staff stayed open to help for my son for new running shoes. Much appreciated awesome customer service. read more

Buyer beware: the store accepts no returns, even of unworn shoes. The full story: I stopped by the store to buy a pair of Altra running shoes, but sadly the ones in my size were too small and the store didn't have the next size up. The woman helping me then measured my foot and recommended another shoe, a Brooks Dyad. They didn't have them in the size she measured, but she gave me the next size up. I was unsure of buying them without trying a pair in my actual size, but she ensured me that they fit well. I told her that I'd buy the shoes, but I planned to order online the original Altras I came for in my size, and return the Brooks to the store if the Altras fit better, and she said that wouldn't be a problem. I ordered the Altras in my size online, which fit perfectly. I also ordered the Brooks Dyads in my appropriate size, and they fit much better than the size I was sold at the store. The next day, my wife tried to return the Brooks (which I hand't worn at all) to the store but the manager said they would not accept returns. When she asked if they could instead order the shoe in my proper size and exchange it, he refused to do that either. After much arguing, which was causing a scene in the store, he begrudgingly agreed to allow her to return the shoes. I wasn't trying to cheat the store by trying on shoes there then buying them for cheaper online. I went there with every intention to support the store and buy a pair of shoes, but I was forced to buy them online instead because the store didn't have my size in stock or offer to order them. I paid the same price online as the store price. The sales associate had pushed on me whatever size she had in stock, rather than the size that my foot measured (though I will say she was otherwise very friendly, appeared to be knowledgable, and was very helpful). Sorry, but when paying $120 for a pair of shoes, I want them to be the right size, not just what the store happens to have in stock. I will never shop there again P.S. We also bought my daughter a pair of shoes there that day. Though we saw them cheaper online, we didn't try to return them. We were happy to pay full price for the help they gave in fitting my daughter's shoes. read more

What a fun store, especially for this newbie runner who cannot seem to commit to a regular running regiment. The store is always clean and the service is always knowledgable and helpful without being pretentious or arrogant. I have not used their fitting service, but only because I don't consider myself a hardcore runner. Given that I am running more, it might be time to go in and let them do their thing. read more

Hesitant to go back to any Running Company after somewhat snarky staff at the Moorestown location who I felt didn't take me seriously because I'm a novice runner, I decided that rather than eat the $150+ I spent on ill-fitting new kicks, I'd try to exchange at a different location. Luckily, I had a much better experience at Haddonfield Running Co. Though somewhat busy when I arrived, I was able to meet with someone within a few minutes. He watched me walk, checked my feet, asked me what I didn't like about my previous pair of sneakers, and then brought out 3 pairs for me to try. I know that if none of them had worked for me, he'd have brought out a bunch more (I tried on probably 8 or 9 at Moorestown), but I found one within that three that felt great. I wore them out of the store (my favorite thing to do ever!) and have logged about 50 miles since. I've heard that sneakers in running stores cost way more than they do elsewhere. I never did a price check for the pair I bought, but they fit perfectly and I liked the customer service I received at Haddonfield RC versus what I'd get at a bigger sporting goods store. I'll definitely go back when I'm ready to replace. read more

Love this place! I went there yesterday for a new pair of running shoes- not only did I get the perfect pair, but I also got some useful training tips and some ideas on nearby hills to add to my workouts. Sure, you'll pay full price for the shoes, but to me, it's an investment worth making. They do group runs every Wednesday at 6:30 - all paces welcome - I'm hoping to make it there soon. read more

Great service. Took time to make sure I was picking the right size (I totally wasn't) and made customized recommendations based on what I was looking for. They also offer an educator's discount (teachers, professors) which helped a lot. Will come back for my next pair of running shoes. read more

I'll never shop for running shoes anywhere else ever again Been meaning to write this review for a while. After years of buying and being disappointed in running shoes from every other store in the area I decided to try the Running Company of Haddonfield based on the recommendation of a friend who is also a podiatrist. Everything about this experience was different from any I've encountered in other specialty shops. Not only did the "advisor" measure my foot but she also watched me walk in every pair of shoes I tried on. After we narrowed it down to a pair that seemed good she said " OK now go for a run outside." I thought she was kidding. When I said as much she said " well how can you tell unless you run in them? So go run". After I "test drove" the shoes she said that if I found them not to work for me within 14 days I could return them for a different pair. I don't know any other store that offers that. It's been 6 months and I love my New Balance 860's. They were the replacements for the shoes I initially bought and found myself unhappy with. The Running Company was true to its word. Two weeks ago I returned to buy a pair of shoes that I could wear for Body Pump class that would provide better stability for squats and lunges with a heavy barbell. These shoes, Nike Zoom Pegasus, have proven to be wonderful as well. They were recommended by a different sales person in the store who also took the time to listen to me and help me find the right shoe. read more

I stopped in with the hopes of getting an new pair of shoes. Neither of the 2 sales associates acknowledged me. While they were with other customers, a simple "Hello, if you need help I'll be with you in few minutes." The one sales person looked right at me and said nothing, the other was having a long conversation about her travels, vacations...really, I get it, you love running etc but please offer me a brief glance or nod. I felt invisible and dismissed. Will spend my $$ elsewhere. read more

I needed to be fit correctly for a running shoe as I have foot issues. There are not many stores that go that "extra mile" anymore to give you GREAT service and stand behind their merchandise. RunningCo DOES! They have top-notch running shoes and know the nuances of each brand. They carry only the best by the way. If that is not enough, if you are not happy with your purchase AFTER you ave worn them.. you can return them! How amazing is that? Your feet are important...comfort and support are important... Go to the best...RunningCo! I won't go anywhere else! read more

Long story short I get really bad shin splints when I run and have so for over the past 4 years. I was told about this place by a friend at work and decided to stop by here to check it out. One of the staff members had me roll up my jeans, take off my shoes and walk around a little. He then checked my feet out a little more and discovered my left arch was crushed in a little, from a previous injury. He did some more measurements and got a few different shoes from the back for me to check out. I tried them all on and walked around and finally found a shoe that I loved! I can FINALLY run and my shin splints are nearly gone. I highly recommend this place and the outstanding staff, ps they also have a Military Discount, which adds another star in my book! read more

Great, friendly, knowledgable staff and an owner that is the ideal small business owner - running a store in his hometown that gives back to it's community. They have a fantastic selection and know how to fit you into the ideal shoe. Can you find shoes cheaper elsewhere - maybe, but you are hard pressed to find better service and advice. read more

LOVE this running store because they fixed my blisters problem. I had been previously fitted for brooks adrenaline gts running shoes by a different running store and had been wearing them for years. During all that time I had been experiencing blisters during my half marathon races (only on race day) until I started having them while training last year. I came here on afternoon before my yoga class in haddonfield and told the nice gentleman about my blister problem. He took a look at the shoes I was wearing and immediately realized the sole was too thick and was causing the issue. He found a different, lighter brooks shoe and had me try it on and I immediately felt the difference. Ever since then I don't have issues with blisters on my long runs. This is the first running store that I felt like they really knew what they were doing and were giving advice based off what was best for me and not what would be the highest sale for them. read more

This location is getting ready to move across the way, bigger location. I was referred here to get my Five Fingers Shoes, for my work outs. Able to get them, the gentleman was very nice to hold them, would of til Wednes, but I was able to get them today. I ran over there , during lunch, they are having a moving sale, so lots of items are 20-30% off. Good service, & hopefully when they move, carry more items.Will I go back, probably. read more

Dave and crew do a great job, there is no where else to buy running gear

Great local running place. A lot of the prices are on par with amazon. The one real benefit I get from this store is that the workers are all runners and can give you really good advice on equipment and running. read more

Great crew and very well informed. They watch you walk and determine which shows are best for you. Where your current running shoes when going in. They will look for the wear and tear on your current shoes to appropriately suggest a new shoe. The prices are spot on. I have compared against online retailers after buying and there was no mark up. Also, check their website for all sorts of local races taking place!! read more

Julie was so helpful to my husband and I. She was patient, asked lots of questions, and found me the perfect running shoes. Thanks so much!

I greatly appreciated the personal attention I received. This was my first visit here & I discovered I've been wearing the wrong shoe size for years! I'm so glad Mike helped me correct this issue before it got too bad. He even rewarded me with a discount! Loved my experience here; I'll definitely be returning before my first half marathon! read more

Excellent service, helped me find the perfect shoes for my knee, foot and back issues. all my fittings were done "blind" and I ended up with the cheapest shoe.. no trying to get me into the most expensive shoe- just the right one- which just happened to be the least expensive. My problems were listened to and my gait carefully observed... it took some time but it was worth it to get the right shoe. I got the perfect shoe and insole and I am a very happy customer and runner! read more

Laura's customer service was EXCELLENT! She took her time with our son, who is starting track this year. This is our new "go to" place for all things having to do with running. I highly recommend this store. read more

Visited for first time today. They don't have prices on their shoes, and it doesn't take Einstein to figure out why they don't want you to know the prices. I guess the Haddonfield housewives don't care what the price is. read more

I am making the transition from running on the tread to asphalt and from this obtained a shin splint injury. I went to the Haddonfield Running Company and talked to Mike, who was very helpful. He reviewed the tread wear on my sneakers and came to the conclusion and feels very confident that I needed inserts. The team is always so knowledgeable and helpful! read more

I was fitted for a pair of asics running shoes. They were quite expensive but I thought if they said they would work for my feet I would do it. Fast forward two months later, I am not running due to plantar fasciitis. I believe this store fit me incorectly, my podiatrist even said the same. I called to see if they could help me, maybe make exchange and of course no. Terrible fitters and terrible customer service. They always want to sell too big size and they jam super feet down your throat. I will never shop there again and will tell everyone to stay away. 0 Stars really but I had to put one star this place is the worst read more

I was incredibly pleased with my visit to Haddonfield Running Co. I've just taken up running, and was a little nervous that I would be scoffed at for my five year-old pair of Nike Shox. Instead, the staff were friendly and supportive of my being a novice (read: shitty) runner. They cater your shoe selection to your stride (which they assess) and any problems or injuries you may have. Very personalized experience -- I definitely feel like I got the right shoe for my needs (as predicted, these sneakers have already corrected my shin splints!) read more

Hello, This issue occurred at the Running Company of Haddonfield store on April 3. My complaint is directed at the employee named TJ and indirectly at the other gentleman who may be the Owner or Manager (name unknown). First, some context: I have been a loyal customer for the past 2 years. Their records will indicate that I have purchased at least 3 top tier running shoes from you. The total revenue for your company should be at least $400.00. I go to the Haddonfield store because of its proximity, selection of running shoes, and, prior to yesterday's incident, superior customer service. After entering, I was greeted by TJ. I stated that I am looking to try on some running shoes. I stated that I purchased my current running shoes (NIKE VOMERO9) from you and would like to try some shoes for comparison. TJ was courteous and professional at this time. He returned with the 3 pairs. When he returned, I told him, out of respect and to be upfront with him, that I may have a unique opportunity for at least a $50.00 discount at another running shoe store and that I may take advantage of it. I was telling him this as he was about to hand me the first shoe to try on. When I told him, he pulled the shoe back and said "I will not help you". He refused to allow me to try on any shoes. He then became very unprofessional and, frankly, he humiliated me in front of about 5-6 other customers, two of whom were sitting right next to me. He said, "I am sorry", and I stated because of his nasty tone, "You're not sorry", and he replied, "You are right, I am not sorry". I was completely taken aback by such egregious, unprofessional behavior. Now, let me emphasize that I completely understand that the company needs to generate revenue to be successful. I GET IT! However, his shortsightedness and rude behavior has resulted in their loss of my business forever. For a reputable business, an act of such egregious employee conduct toward a customer should never happen or be tolerated. The shortsightedness, egocentricity and apparent desperation to SELL at the exclusion of all else is ultimately counterproductive. To prove my point, let's walk through this logically: There was a good probability, that for this one particular time, The Running Company of Haddonfield, was not going to get my business. Considering that the average cost of the shoes that I have purchased was $130.00, they would not get that revenue from me on that particular day. However, if TJ had been more consultative and professional, I most definitely would come back every 6 months and spend about $130.00, or $260.00 per year for the foreseeable future. Now, as a result of TJ's pitiable behavior, not only will The Running Company of Haddonfield not get the $130.00 from me on April 3, but you will also not get $260/ year. TJ has a lot to learn!!!!!!!! read more

I've bought about 6 pairs of shoes from HRC since 2007. I only splurge on workout gear, but the gear is well worth it in their store, and less than online with extremely personalized service. I wouldn't shop for specialized shoes in another store since I receive the best, and hence, most knowledgeable service at this store. As a recent BSN, RN grad I value customer service representatives who take the health of the athlete/customer into the total picture when fitting someone for the right gear. They treat all types of runners with the same amount of respect. I also hold their group runs in high regard. I started running in 2002 and by 2007 I joined their group runs to get in shape for the Broad Street Run. I always finish the group runs last, but the other runners are friendly and supportive so it's an amazing experience (and workout). read more

Had a great experience with Mike. He spent a lot of time fitting me in the right shoe. Very knowledgeable staff and wide range to choose from. read more

I was in your store this past week inquiring about vibram five finger shoes after my orthopedic physician recommended I try a pair for running. The girl at the store provided minimal information regarding the pros/cons and differences in available pairs. I took them home and wore them around the house and visited vibrams website as suggested by the the store rep. After checking their site I realized she sold me what vibram consider to be a casual pair and not their running shoe. I returned to the store to exchange for the correct pair and the guy at the store did everything but call me an idiot and refused to hear me out or exchange the shoes because they had been worn once. Rather then try and explain why she had sold me the pair of shoes as running shoes he was combative from the start. Considering the times you would think customer service would be at it's highest level but it's become clear now the many times I have dealt with your store it's low on the priority list. It's sad to say a company is willing to lose long time customer over a $100 pair of shoes sold on incorrect advice of your own sales rep. read more
