Personal service for years and years coupled with a great selection of sneakers! The owner, Byron is one of the nicest guys!

Bought exact same shoes (Hoka) I bought 2 years ago. Pretty much went in and was out in 10 minutes. Loved it. Didn't get to see owner this time, though. He's too funny! Price was about the same! read more

The Runner's High - My choice sneaker - Shoe Stores Near Me - Miami, Florida

This place has sports shoes....!!! and they brand themselves as a FULL SERVICE store, meaning: they will measure your feet then recommend a number of tennis shoes. Staff is super friendly, they will assist you in getting the size you need. If the feel doesn't feel right, they might recommend another brand. Every month they have ONE brand on "sale", who does that?.... Nobodyyyyy selling those athletic shoes!!! All in all super friendly staff, top notch customer service, and tons of models to choose from, what else is needed? Plus, maybe you'll snag a discount! Thank me later... hahahahha... better said thank the owner! But I passed the tip! read more

I took my mom to get her shoes for her foot condition and they were so amazingly helpful. Huge selection too. Thank you for such kind service! read more

This has been my go to place for sneakers for over 10 years. The owner is wonderful! Extremely helpful and knowledgeable. They can even evaluate your running gait in the store. I came to get some new running shoes and happened to see them on sale on a website online. The owner matched the price. I'd much rather support a local store so I was happy to give them the business and appreciated them honoring the sale price online. Give them a visit if you need running shoes! read more

The Runner's High - My fresh new kicks! - Shoe Stores Near Me - Miami, Florida

Great store! I highly recommend it especially if you are not sure what kind of shoes you should use, Byron is very knowledgeable and knows all the ins and outs of their products and will make sure you leave with a shoe that's right for you. They even gave me a discount for being a new customer! And the dog in the store was adorable. read more

Went with a problem I was having with my previous running shoes and the girl there was very knowledgeable and insightful about my needs. Good prices too. read more

Staff friendly and knowledgeable. Young lady who helped me ordered my size and next day texted that my shoes were in.

The made an amazing recommendation for a new pair of running shoes. I have had problems with my feet and trying to find the best shoe and they were so helpful! read more

The store is old and not laid out well, humid A/C and moldy smelling. Plus the dog in there surely didn't help with the aroma. The owner, Byron was extremely hyper & aggressive...was all over the place & yelling at his staff in a very condescending manner - honestly if my boss ever spoke to me that way, I'd be turning in my resignation immediately. The shoes can be found at other locations with far superior service and less creepy vibes. Honestly don't spend a penny there...the shoes aren't cheaper there so why have the uncomfortable experience with the weird old man read more

Great product selection & service. It's in a shopping center, so parking is easy. Highly recommend.

They work hard to get you the right shoe and fit for your running goals. The owner is extremely friendly and knowledgeable, and prices are very reasonable. read more

Had a great experience when I went to get new shoes to help with my heel pain. Anthony was very helpful and knowledgeable. Best customer service in town! Thanks!! read more

They were extremely helpful! We were on the road and needed an all black size 15 paid of Brooks running shoes! I called ahead of time and they held them for me. Not too many people wear a size 15 so we were extremely happy with their sizing options! The staff was great! read more

YES. COME HERE! Byron is the man. He's been running (pun intended) this joint for over 35 years! If that doesn't tell you he's doing something right, then you may go the other way. My brother and I came in and he just blew us away with the most amazing, attentive, and caring customer service I have ever experienced in my life. You can defiantly tell that he absolutely loves what he does, and he genuinely wants you to be happy. He helped us try out multiple different pairs of shoes until we said we were definitely happy with a pair. We ended up buying two, but he had to order the other because they didn't have it in stock. You can actually handle orders two ways which is great. He can call you when they come in or just send it directly to your house. We live in west kendall, so the commute is a bit out of the way, but so worth it. If you're an athlete, don't throw your money away anywhere else. This place is the place to go to hands down. read more

I have been buying sneakers from Bryon for over 10 years. The service is quick as Bryon always has enough staff on hand. If you have a wide foot they have up to 4 E. Lastly the prices are fair. read more

It said open and the white cage in front of store was closed. I was disappointed they should post their store hours correctly.

Honestly, I'm not one to write reviews, but I had the best experience here! I'm a new runner & genuinely have no idea what shoes would work best for me. James helped me out and answered all my questions when I went in. I originally wanted the Hoka's Bondi 7 or 8 (just because I thought they were cute ahaha) and he ended up finding me shoes that were cute and extremely supportive (Hokas Gaviota). I got a whole analysis on my feet and he checked how I run/walk. Everyone is extremely attentive and helpful. The store was packed (and I can definitely see why)! So excited to start my running journey and to hopefully buy some more shoes here in the future!! Can't recommend enough!! read more

I had a really nice experience buying running shoes here. the owner is a great guy and loves what he does. He helped me pick the right shoes for what I needed to train for and had such a nice attitude the whole time. I highly suggest getting running gear here and. read more

Great selection and an extremely knowledgeable staff. Running shoes have to be right or you can get a serious injury. With so many choices and sizes it helps to have the assistance of an experienced guide. Byron will make sure you get the right fit and model for your Unfortunately, the return experience for defective goods was a disappointment. I bought a pair of very expensive compression socks- which I only wore them two times- and yes I had them in my drawer for more than a year. They ripped and I brought them back- fully expecting either a credit or refund. Nether were offered and while it may have been a period of time since the purchase--my expectations from Byron and his team were sadly not met. A company is judged not just on sales but in what happens when the product does not perform as expected. Sadly, I can not recommend this store. read more

This place has the best selection and customer service ever!!!! And they have the cutest rescue dog there!!!! Will always buy here!!!

What a great experience, Santiago was very knowledgeable, we had done a ton of research before going and he on all the key factors and even provided so much more information! Went for 1 pair of shoes and walked out with 2 a pair of Hokas for running and a pair of ASICS for long days of standing at work. The difference in how my husbands feet feel when running is impressive! Hopefully no more bone fractures now! Thanks Runners High! read more

To have a place that takes running bio mechanics so seriously and set you up with the right shoes is a blessing. They listen, look, and test you to see what is best for your feet and running stride. I am in training and needed new shoes. I can't remember the name of the girl who helped me, but I am going to go out on a limb and say anyone here will help you with a smile and will drop you on your feet.. running! read more

I was a customer at Runner's High a month ago and was helped by Santiago. If you need a pair of sneakers this is the place to go, Santiago was extremely helpful and knowledgeable, he recommended exactly the best pair of Hoka sneakers for my feet, even though I had to wait 2 weeks for them to come in, it was worth the wait. Thanks Santiago!!! Sandra read more

The soles in my running shoes, ASICS brand, got thin from the many miles that I walked during Covid. I could've bought a pair of new shoes via the internet. The image of entering into the store, Byron greeting me, and remembering my name, shoe size and brand, were the motivation not to do so. I knew that when I walked into the store, then, we were turning the corner. Today, I did just that. And, as expected he greeted me by name, and remembered the brand and shoe size. I placed the order and in a couple of weeks I'll have the shoes. SO WE ARE TURNING THE CORNER. read more

I came in here to find something that can track my running distance. I just became a novice runner so I wasn't exactly sure what I should be looking for. The service person was as nice as could be! She was very helpful and patient with me, even though I was being indecisive about which product I wanted to buy. She was very knowledgeable about the product that I was looking for, and even helped me look for additional items that would help me on my running performance. I haven't tried the treadmill where they video tape your run and then fit you into your perfect running shoes yet, maybe if this "running" thing of mine becomes a permanent thing, it will be my next step. I will definitely be coming back here for any running materials that I might need! read more

Great store! Great staff! It's the easiest shopping I've ever done. The staff know you are a returning customer, find the best shoe that fits your needs and treats their customers well. I was in and out so quick. Thank you Runner's High! read more

I never post reviews, but my experience today compelled me to say something. Today is my birthday and my wife and I decided to go get a pair of supportive shoes since I'm on my feet all day at work. A salesperson was helping me try on shoes when this guy Byron, her boss I think, kneels down next to us to help another customer. A country song came on the radio, and Byron says, "All right, some country! Isn't this great? It's like we're in middle America! No cubans, just good old Americans!" To cap it off, the customer he was helping said her son was going to school in "Bama" and she knows how he feels. My wife is Cuban, and I've lived in Miami most of my life. I've seen and heard plenty of racist idiots, even in South Florida, but today has left me feeling like I need a shower. He realized right away how uncomfortable we were and tried to backtrack what he said, even gave us 10% off the shoes, but I still felt the need to post something. I'm mad at myself for not saying more at the time, and I plan on returning the shoes. I'll buy them at foot locker. read more

I have hated shopping for shoes for as long as I can remember. So when my sister came here for shoes I started looking at my phone. But after hearing Byron speaking to her about which shoe(s) would be right for her, I started to get interested because I needed some myself. In just a short time later, I had been taken through a better customer service experience than I've had in recent memory. Utter professionalism, amiable, advice that was catered to ME and not cookie-cutter and trying to sell me the most expensive shoe. Like he actually cared about my experience in the store AND out on the road. My sister says when she's in Miami -- neither of us lives here but travel here frequently -- that this is the ONLY place she ever buys shoes, and I think I may have to adopt that philosophy too. read more

What a great place to purchase shoes for running or for work. I called ahead of time because I was concerned I would not find size 13 shoes. I spoke to Byron (owner) on the phone and he was extremely helpful. I was looking for comfortable size 13 shoes in all black due to the work that I do. When he told me he had a good selection of shoes with those sizes, I drove over to check it out. I then had the pleasure of meeting Byron who has been in the business for many many years. I observed him speaking with other customers which you could tell he had a long history with, which tells me he must be doing something right that customers continue to come back. So, I was fitted and come to find out...I'm size 14! I narrowed down my selection to 3 different shoes and went with the one I felt most comfortable with. Byron was extremely helpful and extremely knowledgeable. I will definitely be coming back to get more sneakers for the family. Thank you Byron for your help. It was an absolute pleasure. PS: They offer a nice discount for first responders and military. Thank you. read more

My wife her friends and I have been shopping at Runners High for many years. Recently I recommended the store to a friend, she brought a pair of Brooks running shoes. After walking about four miles in the aforementioned shoes she found them to be too wide for her feet. She went to Runners High expecting a refund or some help in selecting a shoe better fitted to her narrow feet, instead the recommendation from Byron and staff was for her to buy a $ 30.00 insert for the shoes. What a bunch of crap, when you buy a $130.00 pair of shoes they either fit or they do not. She left the store and needless to say felt it was a terrible experience. After this occurrence I will never recommend Runners High to anyone nor will I ever set foot in the place again. Shame on you Byron. I recommend folks buy from big retailer or online, no issues with refunds,. Felix M read more

I've been an athlete my entire life and although I'm not a runner exclusively, running's always been one of those things I've done because whatever sport I happen to be playing just requires it. Now that I'm no longer lacing up cleats or hitting any crazy 3-a-day practices, running's the sport that taken over. I run (mostly via treadmill) a few times a week and after moving back to Miami, I decided I was due for some kind of expert fitting. My San Francisco friends are all up on the cool kid stuff knowing what kind of step they have (neutral, overpronator, etc). Me, I've been shopping for sneakers at DSW or even online for years. If it's on sale and it's my size, it's good enough. Within 2 minutes of walking into The Runner's High, I learned this was not the case. The ever helpful Grace put me into kicks a whole size and a half over what I typically wear. You mean I've been running in shoes that are too small even though they're just about the size I wear in regular shoes?! Fast forward to the point where I'm running on the in-store treadmill, trying out a variety of shoes. Grace puts them on me and takes them off like I'm a queen about to hold court. Finally, I settle on paying $130 for a pair of sneaks. While it's well above what I wanted to spend, I've finally committed to the fact that I'm ready to take running seriously (and subsequently the health of my shins, ankles, and feet). I'm wearing shoes that are a size and a half bigger than what I'd wear on a non-sneaker basis, but I'm super excited to know that the peeps at Runner's High have my back, or my feet as it were. read more

Byron is the bomb. He is the main and best salesman in the store. He used to have a different store one shopping plaza down. My family has been buying shoes from Byron for almost 15 years. Every foot is different and there is a sneaker for your foot. Have a high arch? Flat footed? Run/jog a lot? Need an everyday + some walking shoe? Comfortable sandals that will stay on & are waterproof? They might put you on a treadmill to record how you jog/run. Do you come down heel first? Flat? Ball first? You might need different support, and they are the support you need to get the right shoe on your foot. Don't forget to get the special socks. Never have that annoying sock-knot-on-your-pinky-toe itch ever again. read more

Living in Miami Beach and driving to this location left me hoping that it really was as great as the reviews I read. I just don't wander out that far from the homeland!! Yes, I google mapped it, but let's be serious, 12 miles without traffic just seems so much closer. I went here on a Saturday and when I walked in I was greeted almost immediately, even though the store was pretty busy. I was here because I had started running daily, not a huge amount, but enough to the point where all of a sudden my knees and right side of my hip were hurting like I was 90. Before I decided to give up, I thought maybe it would help to try better running shoes and toss my outlet store Nike's to the wind. They sat me down and measured my feet, asked me what my concerns were, how much I ran each day, what type of running surface, etc. They are really knowledgeable about this, not just because they work there, but most of them have a passion for running so they know the deal! Then they threw me in some shoes and evaluated my stride on the treadmill. They recommended two types of shoes and I picked out my color. I paid for my shoes, hoping I hadn't just wasted a bunch of money on something that wouldn't work and was assured that I could bring the shoes back within 30 days if they didn't work out. Well, I still have my shoes and this was 3 months ago. I have no more pain when running (I run on asphalt) and own the most comfortable pair of running shoes I've ever had. When these puppies get worn out, I'll be sure to return here for my next pair!! read more

This is my favorite store to go to when it's time for new running shoes. All the people that work here are very knowledgeable and are great at helping you find the right shoe to fit your running needs. They first put you on a treadmill and videotape the way that you step when you run. Then, depending on how you step, they determine in what area of the foot you need more support and select shoes for you to enhance rather than hinder it. Once you have the shoes on, that make you run around the store and even outside to make sure you feel comfortable in them. The best part is that even once you purchase the shoes and take them out of the store, you have up to a month to return them, used/dirty and all, no questions asked! If you sign up for their email newsletter you will receive monthly mailings on running tips as well as what brand is on sale that month. I always make sure to stop in at Runner's High in October because that is when they have the brand that works best for me, Asics, on sale :) Aside from shoes, Runner's High has a great supply of power bars, gels, powders, and goo to help you get through the longer runs. They also have all different types of running accessories, gear, and even swim gear too. Even though its a positive, I took off 1 star because I always end up leaving here with more than just my shoes and I always end up spending too much money. Shame on me for buying everything, but shame on them for making everything sound so enticing! lol If you're an avid runner or even a novice, I highly recommend coming to this store for your shoes and supplies. They definitely help you to kick asphalt out there! read more
