Village Runner - Manhattan Beach, California

The staff here is great and very patient and knowledgeable about finding the right running shoes. They had a large selection and variety of shoes and able to let me try on each one and advise me on how each one feels and recommendations on what to decide on. I ended up with the ON Cloudrunners 2 which has been good so far.

They're very aware of your injuries and running style and foot arch and other stuff to give you a good enough idea of what kind of shoe fits your body. They do occasionally run out of shoes to try and models so it will be a seasonal thing where you might not find the shoe you like. However, they will do everything in their power to get you the shoe you want if it's not in stock which is great service from them.

Also there's a donation box for used shoes which is awesome in recycling your used worn shoes.

Definitely the place to check out for your running needs. My Fiancé and I walked as we are getting back into running and needed expertise advice. Best customer service from beginning to end. Will be back!

I've throughly enjoyed every shopping experience I've had at this store. Every employee I've had the pleasure to do business with has been extremely knowledgeable with outstanding customer service.

I've been fit, recommended, customized and impressed every time I buy a new pair of running shoes.

My most recent purchase of the Mach X shoe by Hoka has helped improve my speed and increase my distance.

Ahéhee ( Thank You) from this Navajo runner.

Small running stores for the win!
Places like this are one of the main reasons I get excited about new shoes.
Jim was such a help, knew exactly what I might be looking for based on my old shoes, and guided me through the many options.
Next time you look for new running shoes, this is the place to visit.

What a team and shop! They were so informative and helpful. They took their time to find the best fit for our needs. This is our new go to shop for running shoes.

Love this shop for all my running needs! They have a good variety of products and everyone who works there seems to be very knowledgeable on what they sell.

Also, I am a high school teacher and a running coach and I had 1 student in need of a pair of sneakers for a race we had. This shop donated a pair of shoes to this student and it truly made his day. He will now be able to train for the LA marathon thanks for the kindness of this shop.

Please check them out and show them some love if you can! They are awesome.
