Forerunners

Anne-Marie professionally guided me through my first-time running shoe purchase and was understanding of my beginner concerns when it comes to running. Buy your sport shoes here!

I had a great experience today with Emry (I hope I heard your name right! After reading other reviews you might actually be Ann-Marie and I heard incorrectly.) I was able to get some new Mizuno shoes after having that brand for quite a while since nothing else is quite right for my overpronation. Super friendly staff and I would definitely go back next time I am in Vancouver and in need of some new shoes or active wear :)

Customer service and product EXCELLENCE! The guys and gals at Forerunners repeatedly prove to me that they are by far the best around the city. I have kept returning to them for athletic shoes for almost two decades now. I find they are the extremely knowledgeable about how their various products fit and are highly experienced in difficult to fit situations like mine. Every visit over the years has been productive and also a total pleasure! How rare is that, right? Today my thanks go to Akio who was nothing short of stellar in his assistance. He helped me with a challenging request on a difficult to fit foot. He completely listened to what I was trying to accomplish and all his suggestions were targeted to solve my situation. He was determined to find a solution and we ended up with multiple very good options. In addition, he was very patient and extremely kind during the process. I have nothing but amazing things to say about these guys. Thanks to everyone who has helped me there over the years!

Dominic was so helpful and knowledgeable. He listened to what I wanted and I left with exactly what I was looking for. I will definitely be back as the staff are so well informed!

All I can say is wow! Anne-Marie was incredibly knowledgeable. She must have brought me over a dozen pair of runner to try on until we found the perfect pair. Amazing customer service. This is the place to go if you want to get properly fit for runners!

Amazing place for shoes! I recently purchased my Hoka shoes from here. They're just awesome! ❤️

Such a nice store. Great prices and knowledgeable friendly staff.

The dictionary definition of customer service. Good product, knowledgeable and helpful service. Today I was helped by Annemarie, who impressed me with both her genuinely kind and helpful attitude, as well as her professional knowledge of both her products and foot health and function. She was patient, thorough, and listened to my needs, not only in terms of what kind of shoes I needed, but also keeping in mind my budget.While you can get decent customer service in most places, Annemarie took it to an exceptional level you don’t often experience. I highly recommend Forerunners. Shoutout also to the support given to her by the store owner/manager, who unobtrusively cleared away shoes we’d decided against. I only found out her role when I asked to speak to the manager so I could tell them how amazing Annemarie was.This place truly runs on teamwork, decency, and respect for both the customer and among the staff and owner. Best place in town for running shoes.

I had the pleasure of being helped by Anne-Marie this Sunday and she was amazing. She listened carefully to my challenges with finding the right shoe and proceeded to bring out 10-15 different options. Turns out the first pair I tried on was the best option for me. I was amazed at how patient she was and how it didn't bother her that I wanted to keep trying everything on. All in all, successful shoe shopping Sunday for me and is highly recommend this Vancouver shoe shop for runners, trainers, waking shoes, and outdoor shoes. They have got to be one of the best running shoe shops in Vancouver!

Great local shop where my family has purchased numerous pairs of Hokas. Love the yearly gift card!
