Strides Running Store

Won’t be back here.I came in looking for some new shoes and was helped by Paul (older man). He was condescending and rude.I did not want white shoes (we live in Calgary and it’s spring, do I need to explain more?) and he made a huge fuss about checking for another color or perhaps ordering another color online. Made another huge fuss about wanting to try on one size down for fit. One last one, also made a huge fuss about taking a display shoe off the wall, so I could ask to try it. If you don’t want someone to touch a display shoe, then don’t display it.Honestly, I would support local but not worth the embarrassment of getting yelled at when I could just order online and return what doesn’t fit.Edited: Manager reached out and other employees at the store are much better.

I was in a few months ago and bought a pair of road runners and a pair of trail shoes. I was recommended this store by my massage therapist.I have wide feet and a back injury so my shoe needs are very specific, and the sales associate was super helpful. The shoes were a little pricey, but my feet and back are so happy that it is worth it.

I bought a pair of shoes here a few months ago and the woman who helped me was very knowledgeable and had amazing customer service skills. I went back today and the older man who helped" me was terrible. Condescending

Knowledgeable staff and helpful friendly service. Hokas work for me with feet issues and Strides has a good selection. Thanks guys I'll be back!

I’m a newer runner/ new to buying running shoes and strides was helpful. I didn’t really know what I was looking for so I ended up purchasing shoes and then exchanging them, then purchasing shoes and exchanging them again. They were super good about me exchanging them and I’m really happy with my running shoes now! (Saucony triumph 20s). Thanks guys!

Came in knowing almost exactly what two pairs of shoes I was after but the staff member helped me figure out the proper sizing and was very knowledgeable about the shoes themselves.

Best local running shoe store in Calgary! Exceptional staff with extensive product knowledge and experience fitting runners of all ages and abilities. This store has everything a runner could want and more! You will be amazed with the huge selection of footwear, clothing and accessories. Definitely worth a visit!

Great place with knowledgeable staff. Good selection of runners for both adults and children.

Jeremy and his team are fantastic! They're so knowledgeable about all things running and will get you hooked up with whatever you need. I've been here for years and continue to come back regularly; just bought a new running vest today for a summer of trail adventures. Thanks guys!

I was blown away with the service I got today. I've been to other running stores and Stride's is a cut above the rest. I needed shoes for my first marathon being a novice running and they helped me pick the perfect shoe for my foot, tailored to my needs. They spent an hour with me and pulled out 10 pairs of shoes before I found the right ones, they were also very knowledgeable about running and nutrition in general. I will happily be returning for all my running needs.
