I was here with my special needs brother and he was having problems with his shoes. This shop was recommended by a nurse at Mayo. The folks at this shop worked to identify the best shoe for my brother. Fantastic experience. We walked back to our hotel from the store. Without their expert assistance we could not have done that. If we lived here they would have two more customers for life! read more

Lovely service, lovely staff, wonderful shoes, wonderful selection, and an asset to our community. I will keep coming back!

Fantastic products and a fantastic owner/manager who proactively gives back to the community, helping those most in need. This is my first choice for winter boots and athletic shoes in Rochester, MN. read more

Stores Great love the shoes but could use more light with their employees have a little JOY!

The staff at TerraLoco is incredibly knowledgeable about running shoe technology. They were so helpful when I was looking for new running shoes and analyzed my running on their instore treadmill. I have gone on several runs with the running shoes that I picked out with their help and the shoes have felt amazing. If you're looking for running shoes, this is the place to go. read more

Terra Loco is an excellent running and hiking store. They have an outstanding product line tailored specifically for runners and hikers. They take time with each customer to do a custom analysis to make sure that the right shoe is recommended. This company does a lot with Local 5 case and donate the money is collected to various charities. They give back to the community in positive ways. read more

A fantastic running or hiking store. I highly recommend visiting TerraLoco over other chain running stores. The level of expertise and knowledge is far ahead of what you'll get from the mall or other running stores around. Staff is kind and understanding to customers of all running levels and abilities. They will help you find the right shoe, analyze if the shoe you used to wear was right for you, suggest other running gear if you're in need and just give you a good, stress-free shoe shopping experience, which is not easy to find. read more

Great running shop. I've been a recreational runner for nearly 20 years and have visited shops in all parts of the country. Terra Loco offers services you would typically only find in a much larger market (Denver, Chicago, Minneapolis). Even better, Terra Loco has incredibly knowledgeable staff that focus solely (pun intended) on finding the best shoe for you. Prices are competitive and it's a great local business! Beyond retail, this business supports the local running community like no other! Thanks! read more

Found this place by chance as they share the same turn as Trader Joe's. It's a new local store that caters to runners and everything they could want. There are items for running, cloths for running, stuff to run with your dog, nice comfy women's clothing when you are not running and even comfy non running shoes. It seems the owners stock it with the things they like and turns out, it's a great selection. Guys are friendly, not pushy! Decent prices ad support local business! Oh, they also have a treadmill to check you gait in the shoes you try on. read more

I was so happy to find this store. I needed to get a new pair of running shoes and they had what I needed. The salesman/ co-owner put me on the TM in a neutral shoe to see my gait. I knew I needed a slight stability shoe, but he confirmed it. I was given 4 pairs to try and found the perfect match. The shoes were exactly the same price on Zillow, and I got to support a small company. I'll be back once o put on a few hundred miles on these shoes. Great store. read more

Came here to get a new pair of running shoes and the staff was incredibly helpful. There only seemed to be one or two employees working, but luckily, there weren't many customers, so I got their full and undivided attention. I ran on the treadmill and they watched my ankles and what not to see what types of shoes I would need. The employee hauled out about ten pairs of shoes and patiently and enthusiastically told me the pros to each one and even watched me on the treadmill again in two additional pairs of shoes before deciding on which one to purchase. Runners in Rochester--check this place out. read more

I was on a search for a pair of sandals with great arch support and a little bling. I walked in, told her my needs, and BAM! Walked out with a pair of Algeria's, less than 10 minutes. I'll be back. read more

Normally I love this store as I have good experiences in the past, but when I went in to buy some new running clothes the only sizes available were for small runners. Only one or two items in size large. Staff was not helpful in helping at all. Won't be returning. read more

Rochester MN. I wanted new shoes - really good hiking shoes for older feet with some biological issues at this point. I was VERY HAPPY to have 45 min set aside for JUST ME with Courtney, who is very knowledgeable about feet and shoes and walking. She listened, had me walk while she watched with a trained eye, and brought out multiple shoes, always with my comfort at the top of her mind. This is during the COVID pandemic - after the careful physical distancing opening up again. Terraloco's website told me just what to expect. I took 30 min before making up my mind. What a luxurious custom shopping feel! I really appreciate Courtney and the Terraloco family! read more

Very nice store. They also stock sportswear along with all the big brands of athletic shoes. But they also carry Hoka and Newton. I'm not a pro runner but I like good shoes.i got my Newton running shoes here and they are the best running shoes I've ever purchased. They were over $100 but they are amazing. The people who work here are all runners and are very helpful in selection. You need that when your going to plunk down a lot for a pair of shoes. I also bought reflective night running tights and jacket, Nike. If your a serious runner you should definitely check this place out. read more

As a relatively new runner, I had no idea what to look for when selecting shoes. After a quick gait analysis on the treadmill, they had me in a variety of stability shoes. I found a pair that feels great, and I can already tell the difference from my old neutral shoes. I was tempted by their nice selection of clothes but restrained myself for that visit :) Nice to support a local business! read more

Nice store. Good selection of gear. Compared to the other running store in Rochester this place is nirvana.

I like the store and their products. I know they do a lot for the local running community but my schedule never seems to match their events, but any running store that has local events gets a thumbs up from me. The staff is very nice, but sometimes it's a bit frustrating. For instance, a few weeks ago I got some emails from them announcing and amazing sale to begin on Saturday. I'm a sucker for a running sale so I showed up shortly after they opened. I looked around and other than the tiny clearance rack that's always there, I saw no signs of a sale. I asked the sales girl if there was a sale and she said there was, but the manager was out back trying to figure out what was on sale. Huh? The morning of the sale and NOW you're trying to figure out whats on sale??? Not good. Most stores set up their sales the night before. This isn't something that would cause me to stay away because their products are great and the prices mostly reasonable, but I would warn them that they do have competition right down the road and situations like this do turn some people away. read more

I typically don't write reviews, however, felt the need after this experience. We went in shortly before 7 and all staff were helping others guests, I think two or three working. We looked around for a while at shoes, sat for a while, and nutrition. After waiting, someone approached us and asked if we needed help. I said, yes, we are looking for shoes for him, (my 8th grader who is in Cross Country). She said, "I'm sorry, we close at 7 and I have a meeting at 7:30" and walked away. After I picked up my jaw off the floor, I was COMPLETELY shocked at her demeanor and lack of care. As we walked out, I said, "Maybe you should consider staying open later one evening" and she replied, without a care, "we tried that and no one showed up". Really? I am here right now, and you are escorting us out the door, oh wait, not even escorting, just asking us to leave. It was an unbelievable experience. As someone who values small, locally owned businesses and goes OUT of my way to purchase from them so that we may continue to have a great community I was shocked. Unfortunately, this is why so many stores are forced out of town by large retailers that are not local. She also added, "I don't know why so many people are still here, we had a 5K tonight so maybe that's why". It was awful, other guests noticed and watched and listened. I have previously purchased here and shopped here and was looking forward to bringing my son and gearing him up for CC. Unfortunate experience for an otherwise exciting moment. read more
